It would be a fine, prosperous city with very clean streets and no crime because any time a person so much as hints at crime, they mysteriously disappear, never to be seen again.

I would be great if it was real, then I could see what you all really look like.

Even in the city I would probably spend most time within the propaganda TV station that is User Reviews, I spend far too much time there as it is I should really start coming to off topic more often if the threads are all of this quality.

I looked and they're not, damn it.

It would be a very upper-class city, with lots of parlours for tea-sipping and monocle-adjusting, but also for indulging in liquors and some other substances. The people would meet in little groups and feign intelligence in discussing world affairs, the state of videogames, and some off topics.

Every week, Slum Lord Yahtzee would release a propaganda video, broadcast on the giant television screens across the city. This would always cause a massive influx of people from neighbouring towns who would come and riot against whatever Yahtzee has denounced that week. Whatever the topic was, it is immediately stricken from the good list, and any discussion is now about its inherent flaws.

Some of the people stay and join the parlours, where the other aristocrats sip tea and discuss. However, these people talk with strange accents ("wut is diz shit") and make incredibly long metaphors that are barely comprehensible ("omg lady gaga is like taking a whale and humping it in the butt wihle its horns burst into flames and spray acid on my mother in law").

I'd be the guy who's way too loud in public places!

I'd annoy you all, and eventually you'd beat me to death with truncheons.

Ah, funtimes.

Also, fluffybacon would be a well known renegade, Pimppeter would be the local journalist, and MaxTheReaper would be Sauron.

What? All good cities have a Sauron.
loud?

you dare call yourself loud, laddy

this is loud, and mine

OT: I would move out, everybody would be boring and post on the escapist all the time

(or writing on the walls should be allowed, and the mods are just cleaners that clean up all the bullshit)

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?
It would be filled with cats doing silly things for our amusement... Yahtzee would have his own church/cult, and Spinwiz would be the event coordinator. The mods would wear paladin like armor with giant war-hammers, and Genre wars would be on the news constantly for gang-related violence and murder. That and we would hold a yearly stoning of anti-gaming group members to sacrifice to the gods come Harvest Season!

What the ... I hate you deeply ...

No seriously, what did I do? Sorry if I quoted you in a way that hurt your ego, but I do that often...to many people.

Ever heard of a movie called "There will be blood"

OT: It would be a fascist state were talk of pirating games or sassing the Magnum-wielding mods resulted in, well they're magnum wielding mods, make the connection.

I would still prefer it to real life.

Alrightey, I can't believe someone actually still falls for this.
That was not the link to your page. It was the link to the page of the person who is clicking.
If I clicked it, I would've gotten my page.
In other words, it's a joke.

Please look at my post count, I haven't been here long so I'm still on the sharp end of the learning curve. The painfully sharp end.

OT: If the Escapist were a city, someone would have left a mini-nuke in my toilet by now.

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.

It would be a mix between Sin City and Blade Runner

one problem: Isn't Max permabanned?

Anyway, I think there would be different Districts: Off Topic, Forum & RP, things like that. and the higher post count you have, you move up in living standards. infamous scribblers in the slums, Gonzo's and Laureates in the awesome suburbs or condominums or whatever.
