NationStates Jolt Archive

In the past there have been attempts to make world maps of NationStates, terribly complicated things. What about a city map (Or at least a mental conception) of us NS folks? If such a hypothetical thing were to exist, where would you want to be?

So; given the choice, which would you pick? Do you desire to be more of a farmhouse kid, an metropolitan loft junkie, or a suburbanite with mall access?

To start the ball rolling, I am definitely in the condo group. Downtown in the heart of a national capital is where I intend to live out my days once I get out of university.

I live in this...

...Right down near da beach...boy-ee![/Half-Baked]

I am a homeless person with a long coat.

I bags a ruined castle!

I want to live in a high rise, where I can glare down at the thousands of people moving about below me and make long-winded speeches about how pathetic life is and how easily I could kill them.

In a high rise with access to the roof for gardening and dropping non-lethal objects on the people below.

Arcology ftw!

There really should be an option for living in the countryside. Or does that count as 'On a self-sufficient complex isolated from the world'? (Would you need to be on a farm for that one?)

What about a rural village?:rolleyes:

I chose 'none of the above' on the poll; ideally I'd a house no more than a mile or so from the city centre. The closest to that is a highrise, but I dislike apartments/flats, so it wasn't quite accurate.

What about a rural village?:rolleyes:

When I made the poll, I had that in mind to be included with the option "On Main Street in a town, within view of farm fields". I thought it would be broad enough to include small industrialised towns and also rural villages.

I actually had an option very much like your suggestion, but deleted it before I posted the poll. I wanted to make people choose between living in-city and in the suburbs. After all, people wanting to live in houses within a reasonable distance to cities is how suburbs get started (The thing that changes is their idea of a "reasonable distance").

Suburbs. I like the space, and the bus takes 15-20 (25 minutes/half an hour in the rush hour) to get me to the city centre. And if I take a left out of my road and walk 5 minutes I'm out in the countryside (which you can see from most places in the city, it's set on a river plain surrounded by hills)

Space, the countryside, and the city. All within very, very easy reach.

a large Country Seat with acres of land around all formally made out a long drive up to the house ownig also all the ocurtyside around my seat and the villages in the area too

I thought it would be broad enough to include small industrialised towns and also rural villages.

What about not even in a town? I grew up about 15 miles away from any sort of organized community. It was just houses every mile or two.

I'd live in a house that is right on the edge of a lake. As in there's a jetty running off the back porch and my garage is actually a boat house.

So that's somewhere pretty isolated, I think.

Would you be like Keifer Sutherland off of the Phonebooth? Watching for immoral people, then killing them?

No, I'd mainly focus on building up an unhealthy level of angst and black clothing while I crafted my Master PlanTM.

I would live in a massive impenetrable fortress surrounded with barbed wire, machine-gun nests, all kinds of armor and missile launchers, and such. However, I'd still be able to make speeches to the masses and stir them into deposing world governments and installing me as ruler. Then I would execute Sinister Plan #2784-N. Bwa-ha-ha!!!!

I want a massive Palace, in the center of the city, on a hill. With underground installations. Filled with my nuke arsenal, airplanes, and collection of expensive cars.

Oh yeah, well I'll smoke a lot of cigarettes and hire some surly Russian henchmen to beat people up for no reason. Then I'll redecorate my high rise apartment and listen to some Classical music because, though I might be evil, I am also sensitive goddammit!

Well, under Sinister Plan #2784-N, you wouldn't be allowed to do that. The punishment would involve being confined in a small room made entirely of metal with the air vents blasting the works of Philip Glass and his ilk while having your feet tickled endlessly by a lesbian chicken and being poked in the stomach by a drunken version of Frankenstein. /breaks down into more evil laughter/

I don't see how you'll be able to defeat me if I use the power of Black Leather Couches, and don't think I won't.

Penthouse or country estate (British style);)

Oh noez! Not the black leather couches!!!

But I have my own secret weapon to bring out against even the might of the Couches...

BEHOLD! THE HOLY BANANA-SHAPED HERRING OF ANTIOCH!

/angels sing/

So; given the choice, which would you pick? Do you desire to be more of a farmhouse kid, an metropolitan loft junkie, or a suburbanite with mall access?
None of the above. I would want about 500 acres in the absolute middle of nowhere, with my own water supply, electrical generators, solar panels, etc., and a ten-foot high fence with barbed wire on top surrounding the entire area. Plus trained attack killer gerbils, land mines ... the works! :D

I really,really like the appartment I'm living in at the moment (by some it is defined as a penthouse, but i just see it as the top two floors of the building) but we're being 'kicked' out within the next two weeks or so!!!! I totally freaked out when i heard a little more than a week ago...


But, I'd want to live on some sunny warm island... preferably with palm trees outside my room and the house having lots of windows so that the sun can get in...

The tropical island abode had not occured to me...

Ah well, fodder for some future poll.

I do not understand those who have opted for living in nuke-defended strongholds (Or landmine laced ones; which to me actually seems even worse, given that they are more likely to end up exploding). Why would one want to be so enclosed by such things? Nobody would want to visit if they were concerned about being blown up.

Het Leven is geen Krentenbol, Palaios. I am sorry that you have to move out of your snazzy spot. I really like my location, too, but it is a university residence, so once I graduate I have to scoot out.

Ladamesansmerci, are you in N.S.? I used to work at the Legislature there as a Page. If you are, I like your museum!

I live in the local museum overlooking the city's park and the legislature (just so i know when the politicians are coming out from their meetings to go throw eggs at them.)

Can I room with you Lady? I promise to bring rotten tomatoes...
