Say that VGChat was a VGCity. Where would you live? What type of house would you have? Who lives around you? What do you do at your home and who will visit you?
FIRST OFF.
This city is by the ocean surrounded by forest. It can be anything you want it to be, well, sorta, but by default, it's a port city with forest around it.
For me, I would live in a middle of nowhere in the outskirts of town in the middle of a forest.
My house is built in a modern style. It's somewhat big. Inside of it, it is colorful and all of the architecture is modern with two floors. I don't do much at home other than stay on the computer and read some stuff. I am aloof and I do not take part with all the events at the city.
I don
In the temple, of course.
I live in a house. It's exactly the house I live in now. Also, my "VGC City" is called "Simi Valley".
My friend "the judge" whom I like to call "Derick" lives about 3 streets down, and "darksong X" a bit further down...let's call him "joe".
Everyone else lives somewhere else. I "chat" with them on the "internet".
I live on the top floor of a hotel where I can look down on the busy people below. My friends are "Ant" and "Darksong X." I see them frequently. I exit my house by diving out the window and praying to God Almighty that a matress truck drivees beneath me when I land. So far I've gotten lucky.
I'd live near you, Xenos. Same type of house dealie.
And I'd have sex with you every night.
I'd live in a house on the beach. It would be Frank Wright style, with polished steel and leather everywhere. It would basically look like some sort of house that gets featured in Wired for being super modern.
On the weekends, I'd either go boating or ATV-ing in the woods. Assuming I can pry myself from the computer.
I'd get a fair number of visitors, I assume, since I'd have an arcade in the house, and would leave it open for parties. :cool:
I'd live in a tree. :D
My house would be several floors in height, and would feature a tasteful wooden interior with a lot of curves and large concave windows. It'd be set in a bed of sand, somewhere out of the way (say, on some grassy knoll nowhere in particular). I'd have some kind of rooftop patio and an "entertainment suite" with an LCD tv and the most killer soundsystem you've ever seen (heard?). Oh, and I'd have a 100 megabit connection, a nerdy luxury I've been denied for so long.
I'd also own a fair share of land, specifically a large mansion and a clock tower.
...And a lab beneath both.
As for activities, when I'm not with my friends, I'm the head of an evil company that makes zombies and other abominations of God. It's called Parasol inc.
...And I'm also a professional assassin with 7 different personalities of the people I've killed.
Underground dwarven city with Jim.
I'd live in the same house I live in now, it's jsut the right size of hosue for my taste. I twould be located deep within the forest where the only bit of light you get is from up above. There would be no roads connected to my hosue so I would have to travel by air, maybe a helicopter or something.
My house wouldn't be too big, just kind of cozy, not too far from the city but not too close to its hustle and bustle. I'd be in a comfortable spot that leaves me near the sea and the woods so I could visit both just to mellow out a bit. Guests are always welcome, and I myself would bike ride to the homes of Heather, Dan, Derick, Ant, and many others.
I'd live in a tower in the center of the volcano. And yes, there is a volcano, otherwise, what are you going to throw spammers in?
I wouldn't be with anyone, in fact, nobody would want to be with me anyways. Who would want to live on top of a volcano? Crazy Greek philosophers, that's who.
Aslo, there would be no right angles in my house. Anywhere.
Probably some sort of cave.
A nice cave.

I feel like making a map of this fabled city in Photoshop or something. Anyone else up for helping me?
I'd do it. As long as all I have to do is use the square tool, and mybe the paint brush.
I'll help when I get home. I'll give you the location of the land I own in relation to the overall size of the city.
In other words, just make 3/4 of the town Derick's house. And put it somewhere near the center.
Alright, later tonight / early tomorrow I'll put up a map of the terrain the city'll be on - Just something simple, it'll probably be in black and white - I'll just knock together an mspainted concept of the land and redo it in vibrant colour in Photoshop. It'll be divided into a 22 x 22 grid, and what you do is tell me where on the grid you want your house to be.
Anyone know of a pixel house maker?
Dude, this is a good topic. Wait, Xenos, you live in Oakland? lol, just noticed that... I live in Concord, anywhooo...
I'd live in an apartment in the busiest section of the city. The apartment'd be medium to small size though 'cause I prefer it that way. :) And I'd visit everyone!
I'd live in the underwater base a mile off the coast.
a giant boner building
I had the same idea, but was too lazy. Way to go Klarth for not being lazy. :D Ensure to keep loads of space available for expansion as people add to it.
I'm going to do my own one later. Great topic.
I WANT BEACH FRONT PROPERTY.
I called it, its mine. Not the whole stretch, but a good piece away from the actualy port itself, on a nice little sandy stretch.
Hey, I was the creator, I WANT BEACHFRONT PROPERTY WITH THE SIGN: "THOU SHALL NOT STEP ON MY LAWN."
Well, maybe not the sign, but yar.
I'm also the owner of that apartment.
I'm just going to continue to elaborate on the Hotel, Lab, Clocktower, and Mansion.
The mansion is in the forest, the clocktower is close to the center of the town, the Hotel is near the East entrance to the town, and the lab is connected at the basements of each one and extends towards eachother with 3 bases in the "basement" level of each structure. And I'll think of a better name than Parasol Inc.
Park, mall, and cafes with a revenue for the beach front? I can draw this all out by hand. 8-)
I dont want the whole beach, jsut a comfortable peice about 15 minutes away from any big developments/industry/commercial districts.

Here is part of my house that I am starting on. :cool:
...
I need a life.
Only 400 hundred square feet....?
Hold shift to draw straight lines... Just a pointer. Not sure if you knew that one already... But hey, it's good info. :)
I'd be in some kind of pyramid-shaped fortress of shorts with an extremely technology laden interior. I would live in the modern-style neighborhood with whoever else has similar tastes
I feel like we should be getting some kind of weapon skill too. Hmm...
I'd live in a house made of Kraft Dinner. That would be so awesome.
[url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/penguinbob/floorone.jpg]Floor one[/url], [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/penguinbob/floortwo.jpg]floor two[/url], and the glorious arcade of [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/penguinbob/floorthree.jpg]floor three[/url]. Thats right, the whole top floor is a bar/arcade.
Some quick notes:
-Yes, I realize that its not scalled very well. Deal with it.
-All angle should be assumed to be 45 degrees, with the exceptions of furniture
-I forgot to label something 4 on the top floor, but didnt feel like redoing it all, so it goes from 3 to 5.
-All floors are light hardwood floors, with the exception of the bedroom and downstairs living room, which are carpeted
-The long flat side faces the beach
I sanction your temple to be there.
In fact, I'll have my personalized Special Forces make sure it's safe.
That is assuming that something can overwhelm all of you.
you know forum members need to get hobbies when they start visualizing their forum as a city
Or maybe morons with a low post count should stop trying to ruin the fun of an entire community... arse.
I'd have a nice, smallish Greco-Roman manor in an upscale district. Probably beachside. Neighbors are yet to be determined.
Somebody should map this whole city out, so that UNPOPULAR members can actually SEE the apartheid.
I think Klarth and Xenos already said that they are going to work on that...
K I detailed the exact mapping of my mansion and the surrounding landscape. I aplogize for lack of furnishing; I was too preoccupied with doing the rest. I included the names of the areas and the places where I keep my many ornamental typewriters.
Good deal, there should be some "Noob Ghetto" or something.

Yeah... and who might you be? Not only that but seriously, it's called "fun." It occurs once in a while due to either boredom or a playful mood. Stop being such an arrogant son of a bitch and just ride with it. No one likes an asshole.
I also drew out the CENTRAL part of the city. The red buildings are my three owned buildings, since I can't draw the underground network. Feel free to repost the picture with your houses added. Note that this is only the middle. Feel free to expand on it.
Or just stop posting.
Most of us would prefer that.

WHAT ABOUT ME?! YOU FORGOT TO MAKE A WITTY CLEVER COMEBACK FOR ME!
Don't worry chec, I agree with you ;)
Or maybe just stop being retarded. That works too.
He can't help it.
You dare belittle my graces? This city is mine.
Except for the enclave I forged near the sea, you mean. Its cool though. WE can have a nonagression pact like in WW2 between Hilter and Stalin. Only, ya know, we wont violate it. Unless you invade. Then I'll have to carpet bomb you.
That's outside the official city limits. I don't own that.
Oh, ok, then we're cool.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/penguinbob/untitled.png[/IMG]
WTF, we don't need a Police Department.
It's either that or my special forces.

I hope you like it, it took hours to make!
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/fnool/vgcitymap.jpg[/IMG]
There. I haven't put a grid over it yet, as I want to know whether people are happy with this. The thin things are walls, the area inside is where the bulk of the city's gonna be set, there are roads towards the south, there's a beach, etcetera. I designed it so a few people could live outside the walls if they like.
Remember that this isn't how the final thing's gonna look, as is indicated by the quality.
The map I made should only take up a small portion of that in the center.
Correction: The map you edited. Badly.
I'm going to do individual districts if enough people wind up doing this, though. And maybe even individual houses if someone helps me out with some 3D software.
Fine, then like I said, the map I POORLY EDITTED (MS Paint, you SOB) is Central VGCity. ie. it's my "district," if you want to call it that, and anyone else who wishes to live there. Note that the "forest" encompassing the mansion is actually VGCity's version Central Park, as in it doesn't actually connect to the forest around the place. I have no direct power outside that area, though like any government system, the political influence is wide-reaching.
If it's poorly edited, then why would people choose it over a well-edited one...?
How about I trace over it if you give me the original?

Alright, I guess people should just do what Spam's doing and put a mark on where they want their house. Nothing too big, I need to be able to understand what I'm looking at.

Or alternatively, a fun deficiency!
I dont really care about the specific location, I was just getting at a spot that seemed distant but not remote, and was on a beach. If I need to be moved, its cool. Just keep me in a similar location.
I'll give you the original picture if I ever see you on.

Tip: When you write where you live on the map, type your name in, so we don't see what your handwriting looks like!! :D
I'll take that mayors mansion now!! :D
Mansion... more of a rat hole.
Btw...

Isn't that the map from Silent Hill 2? Only modified, obviously.
Nope, Racoon City. :)
And Chec needs to get a life beyond insulting people on a message board. And then stop whining about how he isn't recognized on said message board due to a lack of posts, but that we should still get out more. Perhaps while we're gone he'll post more to catch up?

I swear to GOD that Silent Hill 2 looks similar as hell to that.
Edit::: Yeah, similar... not as close as I thought... but similar. Raccoon's just bigger s'all.
I want to live in a shanty in the woods. I can sit on my porch and shout profanities and shoot at passing children with my shotgun. I'll eat the stragglers.

Bah that grid was boring :(.
ANYWAY!
That's where i'd live >=)
k; busy mapping it out. You can all have the spots you want, or things close to them anyway. :)
oh, and you'll have to redo your temple of doom for the final thing, which should wind up looking a lot better than the current map.
I still get my spot, right? :(
Sure.
GOOD! >=)
THE Temple > Your temple of doom :cool:
But THE temple is within MY city limits. So it's not truly free.
Dont worry. My evil volcano is near your temple of doom, so I could come over and visit some day.
Hold on a minute. I thought there was no roads connected to the city. Who made that picture?
Me. And for all you know that road could end at the edge of the map.
Make the downtown/ghetto area infested with n00bs, and put Jesse's mayor's mansion in the middle of it.
And for all I know, they could just be decorative gray lines.
The map I posted already has a mayor's office, which belongs to Jesse, even though he spends most of his time in the noob slums.
Thats his office, though. I was talking about his house being in the "hood."
Pze let me live with da n00bies!! :D
See, he wants it. :D:D:D
At least mine has a cannon...... :(
But THE Temple has me, Shin, Vox and Pit.
But MY temple of doom has a raven! :o
He does make a good point...
Neither temples are a match for the Temple of Rape.
Which I just invented, so hush.
EDIT: I LOVE KILLER JORDO!
I would have a 3 story house. 1 basement,1 main, and 1 up stairs. It would have a large loft between the main and second floors. A fire place wall of rock will run to the roof. I will have a great back yard running by the creek where the fish spawn. My deck will have a built in hot tub(I can't live without one anymore :(). Then their would be a 1 foot cliff with a walk down. Their would be wood pilled onto the side of it. And a huge fireplace is on thje far side. Inside my hiuse I will have one of the best kitchens known to man. And of course a ultra-tolet. Equipped with heated seat, TV, sound system. And a jet sprayer and heater to clean and spray me arse! Yeah I might add some more after school if I think of some.
:)
Sorry the image is small, but you have no idea how long I struggled with MS Paint to do that.
Anyway, my house has a pretty basic design, and isn't very big. It's only one floor, with one bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room. If you've ever seen one of those little houses that accomodate one person up at colleges, then youknow wht I'm talking about.On the back deck, there's a hot tub that's about 10x10 feet. I have a 54 in. television, with my PS2 and Xbox 360 hooked up to it, and a futon sitting across from it.My compy is put in whatever space is left. The kitchen is overstocked with ramem and mac & cheese. There are many pizza boxes stacked on one another, because I'm too lazy to throw them out. The one room is used to stock my clothes, books, and all that jazz.
**** you. I am the builder. I ain't giving it to you. >:O

I can see why... It's too big to do it easily.
I know it's now off the subject, but....
I wouldd live about 200 miles from VGCity because I don't really enjoy the ocean or forest. On top of a distant desert plateau, I'd have my compound of concrete and steel. It would be accessable primarily by air, with my runway being the only way in and out of the area. My compound would be home to myself and some of those whom I care for. We'd be filthy stinking rich, because, having an assortment of fighter jets to intercept cargo planes (bound to VGCity), we'd be stealing all of your stuff as we force them to either land or get shot down. Living it up in our osasis, no troubles, no work, and relative isolation would be the best.
In short, my comrades and I are pirates, and I love you.
You'd better be careful, I dont appreciate it when people fight near my territory.
I'm not taking in any refugees. >:0
I'll keep my citizens inside the borders.
Darn right. I'll cap 'em if they try to move into my territory.
Spammania doesnt play games, yo.
Except arcade games, amiright? ;)
Well, maybe. But only if its a good one, and there are plenty of quarters to be had.
What if I told you that no quarters were needed?
Not if I shoot you with my tommy gun.
Then I would call you a liar, sir, for I have heard of no such magical place.
I would be in jail :(
Or, like, in orbit on a Star Destroyer, amirite?
No because I came down in a shuttle and tried to start an uprise of teh n00bies, but the VGCity authorities came and threw me in teh slammer. :(
Oh, well then sucks to be you.
What are your pirates? Scottish?
I'd live in a moderately sized house just inside the outskirts of the city. Away from the bustle of the centre, but close enough not to be inconvenient. Nothing special, really, I don't like being extravagant.
Scottish Vikings? :(
[quote]Not if I shoot you with my tommy gun.
I block it with my energy shield, then shot gun you down. JUST GIVE ME THE PROPERTY, LOVEIT.
Hey! I don't "love" anyone! Don't change my awesome use of obscene words! :(
And all of your pirates and vikings will fail compared to the brave sons of Soviet Russia and our MiG-25 interceptors. Can your cannon balls hit me from 25 miles away like my AA-8 Aphids? No. Can your ships cruise at 2,300mph? No. Can you kill me before I even had an incling you were there? No.
I love technology almost as much as I love the motherland.
And you're a man who enjoys his motherland.
[quote=Shade]block it with my energy shield, then shot gun you down. JUST GIVE ME THE PROPERTY, LOVEIT.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I would live in a house and also cook Pizzas and deliver them around the place.
So I guess I would essentially be the "official" Pizza of this city (hopefully).

People who live nearby may notice a van with CBC in big letters on the side occasionly pulling up outside my house. The CBC factory would be loacted quite some distance from the city and would be delivered by am unknown (unknown to all of you that is) Chicken.
CBC will hopefully become a popular drink for people in and around the city...
Oh and there needs to be a VGCity football field.
And the world game/soccer football not anything else.
VGCity soccer team, Huzzah!

Would the pizza shop be interested in becoming a front for a mafia of some sort?
I mean, picture this. A guy shows up and delivers pizza to your house. But instead of a pizza in the box, there's a VIPER.
I am a genius.
That is the most hardcore thing I've heard anybody say about anything.
All VGC mafia are belong to soviet.
More like, all lies.
Russia fell for a reason. Bad leadership and american involvement. it could have worked.
The starship enterprise fell for a reason.

Your mother will not go unpunished.
What do you have to say to that, hm?
