If the Escapist was a city?

[sheogoraththemad]

all escapist donate 5 dollar and together we will buy an island, or the moon or Luxembourg...

i would mug furburt cause he seems insane.

I guess it would be a walled off area with the mods patrolling the huge ass walls we would have. When an approaching force would come they would either be welcomed with open arms, or shot/stabbed in the facial area. Inside would be relatively nice but the older members would be living as the upper class and would reap the benefits. Newer members would be the lower class, and decently old members would be the middle class. Everybody would have their place and they would know it, or suffer the punishment of banishment (temporary) or exile.

Well, the mods would carry guns. And instead of kicking out trolls, they'd just shoot them in the face.

It would be a paradise of happiness, laughter and sexiness.

Where did the sexiness come from? I have no damn clue.

This guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view] wouldn't be allowed to stay.

Why not? Is it my teeth?

You obviously haven't experianced this before (if you know what this is and are just joking then I'm sorry). "This Guy" just redirects you back to your profile, it has been about hundred times and has gotten pretty old from my point of view.

It was my first time, too. At first I thought, 'Holy shit, people actually know me! But why not me? What have I done?' but after a bit I got the joke.

Now i kinda feel stupid...

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

I think I'd take the job of assassin/hitman.
Hey, all cities need a murderer for hire, right?

Me and Neonbob. The city's hitmen.

Oh, really?
Well then, looks like we have ourselves an... um... errr...
Well, I don't know what we have here.

 

[vivalahelvig]

Oh God.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

If it were a city I'd be the struggling musician who'd live in the "Gone Gonzo Gardens" a nice lil neighborhood.

 

[ottenni]

The streets would be liquorice and the building would be made of cotton candy. Which being structurally weak would cause the whole city to collapse. So that being said it would be a giant pile of cotton candy and liquorice.

 

[Aura Guardian]

You mean it's not? Damn

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

It would be built on rock n' roll!!!

...You young people don't get it do you?

I imagine a cleaner version of New York, filled with hammer-wielding police who punish the wicked and spend their days battling Obvious Trolls.

Oh, and Wal-Marts.

 

[USSR]

..and MaxTheReaper would be Sauron.

*cries intensely*

WHY!!

..I miss him so much T.T

 

[CloggedDonkey]

probably like turn of the century Chicago, but cleaner and in THE FUTURE! and every March the dreadnought "U.S.S. moderator" circles above the city, waiting to fire of ban rounds.

 

[Kurokami]

The Escapist seems to be full of polite people. Note the "seem". I don't what this site will become if the mods didn't take their jobs seriously. But besides that, I sort of pictured this site sort of like City 17, but in a good way. What do you think the Escapist would be like if it was a city?

I'd like to suggest a city from the movie 'Equillibrium'. The dregs of society who cannot seperate feeling from logic are locked out or eliminated and only those who value inteligent conversation and reasoning can remain.

 

[Indecizion]

Rofl it would be AWESOME and i would totaly own alot of property there, and yeah there would be police who banhammer people for fun and gangs, casual and hardcore gamers being a bit like yakuza and the mafia would be pretty awesome.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

When ever I think message boards and city, I am inevitably drawn to recollections of Second Life.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I am slightly offended by that, but not really. How did I know that link was to me?

If the escapist were a city I think it would be like ancien Troy. Shrouded in mystery and eventually destroyed by a big wooden animal.

I see what you did there....

OT: I think it would look something like this

Spoiler

That doesn't sound that 'awesome' to me.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Actually, I think it would be a lot like my home town. A nice, pleasant place to live in, but filled with a bunch of pretentious people that think they are superior to all other people and places, ignorant to all of the naive fools running around causing trouble. I'm not trying to insult anyone, that's just how I view the Escapist. Hell I'm probably pretentious without even realizing it.

This guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view] wouldn't be allowed to stay.

This joke is old and stale.

Pretension!

Perhaps the joke is new and fresh to those that haven't seen it before.

But now I'm being pretentious.

An endless loop of pretension, only broken with death it appears. Cool.
