Okay, let's speculate. Imagine if we, the citizens of General Off Topic, all lived together in a small town. When we move there, we all own our own homes. Our post count is indicative of our wealth; for example, I have several thousand posts, so maybe I have a couple million saved, or maybe won in the lottery or something. Our rep is indicative of our esteem within the community. For example, someone with 0 is probably something of a pariah or is a foreigner to our community.
Feel free to move between houses as you please. Maybe Mojave is settling down with Beefy (oh my gosh, the thought is absurd and kind of funny). Maybe blaster is throwing an anti-PETA party and we're all invited. Maybe I'm going to kill you all distribute cake to the masses.
Now let's start the timeline. First day, what would you do? I myself would hire a few poorer immigrants to make a mob and use them to lynch the mods. I'll start with shairn, since he's the nicest. :biggrin.gif:
Of course, I'm sure it would have generally bad consequences. Lots of people like or at least tolerate the mods and appreciate what they do to maintain order in the community. Granted, I could bribe outspoken members with a position in my New World Order....
Day one: what would you do, and what do you think would happen as a result?

I wander around town making obnoxious noises while scratching my balls. Yeah. I'm that guy. You think I'm talking on my Bluetooth but I'm actually insane.
Edit: Apparently this is post 1234 for me. Interesting content for an interesting post count.
I would be an average worker, probably. Wielding my master sword and behind me a tapestry of foretold glory, though, I may do something better, sometime, someplace.
EDIT: No, no, just kidding. I'd found an enrichment center and download my personality into a core, and have it run the place while I went out and collected rupees.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. I don't want your damn lemons! I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
I would be the "boss," who is the joint CEO of all businesses that act in this town. Nobody's seen my face, because I always wear this mask, and because I always go by the alias "MrBossMan"
I also run the town, through use of 2-story-tall ironclad steam-powered armless walking tanks called "sentinels," with 2 guns on the front of each that shoot at people who don't do my will.

If you put Key West in Loch Ness, would it unloch? My DeviantArt
I also predict this thread will be identified as a "pseudo-chat thread" and shut down. Enjoy your imaginary town with its imaginary people while it lasts. Winter is coming.
If you want, but it's by no means necessary. I just imagine a community of small homes around a cul-de-sac, some big, some small, some looking like haunted houses, but most cool. Of course, my home would be an entirely steampunk mansion (Gothic Revival architecture with a touch of Iron Gothic) and I'd demand to be called The Admiral.

You've never known winter. It's been summer your whole life.
I'm that guy on your bus, your plane, your train... always talking while you're trying to sleep. Will I ever shut up? Doubtful. Might as well just get used to my voice.

Crap, you took my idea. Well, I was going to have a skyscraper with Victorian architecture, with a lot of Industrial Revolution-type stuff mixed in. And if not MrBossMan, I would be the Mechanist.

FFS, I am obviously wonderful.
I guess the idea isn't so absurd after all. Are you moving in together or leaving the town entirely?
You heard that, green and red.
*there may or may not be cake
I have money to burn anyways.
I would order Mojave Vegimite and get Beef some cake.

I'm thinking of making our own kingdom, so I'd say that the two locations would be neighbouring.

forum games would be a forest outside

Not unless everybody here knew how to role-play on at least an intermediate level. Which I highly doubt.
