VOTE (not a poll): 50 Greatest FICTIONAL Cities

Postby Kris@WLP » Wed Oct 26, 2011 3:36 pm

So, I flipped through this Fark-thing here:

http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2011/ ... l-cities#1

And I'm annoyed. A lot of the picks- the island from LOST? Or Myst? Valhalla? HEAVEN?- don't really count as cities. Yet they don't make it broad enough to say, "50 Coolest Fictional PLACES," now do they?

Still, it provides me an idea to give the boards a bit of a game. Why don't we come up with our OWN list of coolest cities?

So, here's the rules. Voting is by SECRET BALLOT- that means DO NOT POST YOUR VOTES HERE. Otherwise some posters will say things like, "I like those, but here's some nobody's mentioned," and we'll get ten kazillion one-vote wonders and no multiple-vote picks.

Vote by sending me a PM through the board system. Vote for FIVE DIFFERENT CITIES (no more, no less, please), and list what show/book/game they're from. Periodically I'll post in this thread with updates on the standings.

To qualify, cities must:

* not be from a WLP project (no Woodville, Capitol City, or the-town-with-no-name-Peter-lives-in)
* have a name (it can't be an anytown-USA only distinguished by having the characters living there)
* NOT be an actual existing city, or a city which existed in the past (Neo-Tokyo is OK, but Deadwood, Dakota Territory is not)
* be, to some minimal extent, a center of population, as opposed to a geographical or geological region. This can be anything from Metropolis down to Mayberry, but it can't just be farmland or a gas station in the middle of nowhere. NO counties, NO islands (unless "island" is part of the town's name).

Feel free to discuss whether (a) certain cities are cool, and (b) whether/how bad the slideshow linked above got things wrong.

To start things off, here are five cities from fiction (various sources) I think are cool in certain respects which the list entirely omitted:

* Ankh-Morpork (Discworld)
* Coruscant (Star Wars) (hey- it's ALL ONE BIG DAMN CITY, so it counts)
* Ponyville (MLP: FiM)
* Minas Tirith (Lord of the Rings)
* Mayberry (Andy Griffith Show)

Also note: those five are NOT my vote. I'm going to wait a bit and see what develops.

First update: three voters thus far, one of whom didn't use all his votes.

No duplicates, so currently one vote each for all of the following:

* Perfection, NV (Tremors)
* Sigil (City of Doors)
* Omelas (from the story by Ursula K. Le Guin)
* The Village (The Prisoner)
* Babylon 5 (yes, space stations count)
* Toontown, CA (fictional suburb of Los Angeles) (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)
* Little Tall Island, ME (Dolores Claiborne; would this count as part of Castle Rock? I don't read King if I can help it)
* Rabanastre (FFXII)
* Athlum (The Last Remnant)
* Rapture (Bioshock)
* Appleloosa (MLP: FiM; I guess that hard sell their Chamber of Commerce gives newcomers works)
* Gungan City (Star Wars: the Phantom Menace)

More votes, please, and feel free to go to that Fark article thing and look through the list for ideas!

Actually, Sigil is from the Dungeon and Dragons 2nd. ed. setting Planescape. The City of Doors is just another name for Sigil.
