Senor Ding Dong Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 What if somebody from OB, had enough money to buy a country & manage it with a government & all, and all the OBers (who actually post)were able to come here and move, along with thier family and freinds? What do you think this country would be called? What do you think the people would be lile? What would you think of this country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Renegade V2 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 All I know is very few people would actually go. =D EDIT: I sure as hell wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [size=1] It would be called, Animerica! o_O But of course, that won't happen inless bill gates is an Otakuboards user, I wouldn't move to it either, it would be so small and tiny, and not really worth it anyway, unless the elected president happened to be President Charles. and the vice president James. and we had our own arena, called, you guessed it, Otaku Stadia! (maybe you didn't guess that one...) So yeah, [i]If[/i] Bill gates was an OB user, which he could very well be... that's the only time we can even hope for our own country :p[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 That's a stupid idea... Do you have an idea of how many people the smallest of countries has? Surely waaaaaaaaay more than the amount of people that come here... I surely wouldn't move to there also, because sometimes, when people have the same tastes and stuff like that, it starts to get boring and annoying seeing a lot of people talking about the same things over and over and over and over and so on...

Juu Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=ff00cc] [size=1]Well, there is a small town in California up for sale. :D (It's on Ebay.) ---- I'm not sure what it would be called, actually... oo;[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=deeppink]That is perhaps one of the most frightening ideas that I have heard in a while. The town would be running wild with 12 year olds who have low self esteem, bad tempers, and even worse grammar. What a place [i]that[/i] would be...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crimson Spider Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Don't forget the older people like Lady Macaoidh and Sephiroth, who was once named Safer Sephiroth. They could probably run a steady ship. There would be that whole supply and demand for food, water, entertainment, and the rest of our selfish needs/wants. If all that was taken care of, it would be just like many cities. There is a good, usually semi-rich side of town, along with Gedo'sberg where all the punks hang out. As a whole country, I think not. A city, however, is more understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I don't think it could be even a city... I mean, imagine a city made of people who are not even over legal age for doing almost anything... What would happen then? It would be all weird... Yeah, there are the older ones, but those are very few, so I don't think it's a viable idea...

Semjaza Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 They have enough real things to deal with in their own lives... lol. I'm sure they don't want to take care of a country that would have wars break out over whether or not subs are better than dubs or why Funimation chops up some anime. Not to mention that 9 out of 10 people would complain about how ugly they are everytime you see them... which would probably be all the time if everyone lived together. What a depressing place that would be. I'd probably go insane and murder a large group of people at some point. I wouldn't want to be there, I could tell you that. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here, and this is just a site. No way I'd be in a city/country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=darkblue][size=1]I'd be the queen and it would be covered with fields of weed.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [size=1][font=century gothic][color=gray] That's preposterous! [i]*ahem*[/i] I go with what Sej said; this country'd be mass chaos for all. The capital would be Crazy White Boy city, and the other capital would be Jamesashington O.B.. I can't dream; but I'd go to it just to meet some of the people I've met here..[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(<AA>) Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Otaku Boardia. Heh, I guess I would go. Who am I kidding, I would definatley go. But I guess if there are two many newbies, I would come back here. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=#335062]Oh, all you serious naysayers! I like the name "Animerica". *writes it down for future reference* And I like the idea that we can establish a sovereign state where the cultural custom is to wear anime-esque clothing...and where schools teach nothing but how to build a good deck and catch Pokemon. ^_^; Category Moderators would be our state Governors, Moderators would be our Mayors...banned members would be deported (ahem ^_^) and we would have the world's largest variety of 24 hour anime channels. Ah yes. OB as a nation. I can see it now. :drool: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Whoa.. Thats a scary idea. o_o The town would consist of many video game, anime and J-rock stores. We'd be starving. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I like the idea of Anistralia, well; you have to give me something for inventiveness... Anyway, where the hell is logic going these days? -eps- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishie Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 O_O *is frightened and so chooses not to comment* naah..it might be cool, but in the end we'd either A: wipe ourselves out B: go insane C: rebel against the rest of the world and plot domination O_o *can see all of these things play out in her heads* Its human nature to keep conquering, and im sure we'd find opposition along the way..if we didnt destory ourselves by then So..not too good an idea! the world has enough troubles with the countries it does have lol And yeah...being as it would be such a small country..canabalisim might end up reigning supreme...thats unnerving X_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]Well, Otaku Royalty would finally come to play and I'd be Queen and Piro would be King and Ken would be the Knight and all the other folks would be there... I think we'd have to be a country. Too many folks want to rule for it to be just one city. My city would be Plushdom. ^_^ *Gets all excited at the idea* That would be really fun![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroBlade Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hehe, nice way of using screen names even more to your advantage Asuka ;) This idea is silly. I think this place would be more of a town than a country. Although we do have thousands of members, remember the banned and the ones we never heard from again is among them. :P I guess that means they are the jailed and those werid people in the scary looking houses most don't know about.:toothy: And that town shall be called...BARD!

DeathBug Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 An entire community of Otaku? Well, we'd obviously have to establish the world's best diplomatic relationships with Japan.... I'd be willing to move, provided I could get an important position in the town infrastructure. (Heh, FBI agent...) Imagine whose pictures would be on our currency. (I want a newspaper, so I give the guy a Faye Valentine and I get back three Joey Wheelers as change...) I'm totally down with this idea. Viva la revolucion!!

Sui Generis Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I personally think it'd be awesome, I have so many people on here I want to meet and that'd be the perfect opportunity to meet all of those that have changed my life in some regards... I think it would be slightly different than OB of course. The depressing topics I think would go down and the happy ones would go up. Because I mean 9/10 depressing topics have to do with something someone else did, but if Animerica would be anything like the Boards where everyone is family, there would be a lot less fighting between citizens in my opinion. Sure debates would run WILD but not as much fighting. Besides that we'd all be able to basically have our own ideal jobs just for the simple fact that there arn't millions of other people to compete with! I think it'd be awesome if it ever happened... So I would go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I would move there and show you all how I am in real life...then you would probably never talk to me again, but oh well lol. It's an interesting idea but it will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=002E55]Well, if OB was a country, James would be King/President... so I would have an affair with him and steal all his money and rule the country for all time; using banned members as slaves for my evil schemes. ^_^;[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [size=1]Otakia, heh... Heh, I remember something Navi once said, about everyone having to wear their avatar and username on their shirt, so people would know who they were.... ^_^ We'd have to find some way to simulate text size and color, as well, heh...it's the first clue as to who's saying something. Online "voice," if you will...hm. And signatures. We'd need an IRL equivalent of signatures.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Maybe we could carry around flags ^_^ Heh, I often daydream about things like this. I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing :bluesweat. Either way, I do. We'd have to have some kind of dojo/swordfighting arena as well, and a big armoury with lots of interesting weapons for people to practice with... and a hospital. 24-hour anime channels sound great. but they'd better have Lost Universe on them...
