[QUOTE=Contag;31403903]It costs $800,000 to make a bid, and it's going for about [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] Wait, maybe I'm wrong. Badly written article. So a town for the price of one reasonable Australian house.[/QUOTE] I don't know where you live man but in my town you can get a reasonable house for like $400,000.
[QUOTE=killerteacup;31404041]I don't know where you live man but in my town you can get a reasonable house for like $400,000.[/QUOTE] Melbourne? Where do you live?

I think it would be awesome if we actually seriously pursued this :v: We'd probably make the news and everything, and it would be a safety net for all of the American members, lest something bad happen to the economy due to the default
[QUOTE=Zeke129;31404106]In my town you can get a reasonable house for $40k lol[/QUOTE] define reasonable.
I've got a better idea. Why settle for a tiny town like this when for 750000GBP we can have [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3697512/Castle-for-sale-at-750000.html]an island with a castle[/url]? [img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Ambadassdoor/Plans/thorn_island_fort.jpg[/img]
As the resident millionaire, I'll take care of the cost. [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] No just joking... about the paying for it part.
/b/ Would probably catch on and beat us, either we lose or we get doing some serious [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1100782-The-Ultimate-E-Whoring-Thread-V2-Now-with-99.99-less-virus]E-Whore money making[/url]!

If 1000 members paid 800$ each we would be able to buy it. But the town looks like it's in ruins, the castle looks better and more stylish.
Imagine owning an island....

I'm mayor and president. This tahn ain't big enuh fer duh two uh us. But seriously, I am the prostitute on the corner.
[QUOTE=ReligiousNutjob;31402452]Okay, I have a plan: Tell Garry, Buy lots of titles without paying the mods, Bitch at him when he refuses to buy the town, Bitch some more, Bitch at eachother, Bitch at me, Garry buys the town and we all begin our own country.[/QUOTE] It shall be Faceopolis, the first country to be inhabited solely by angry people. It will be like if Oscar the Grouches trashcan was a country.
[QUOTE=Rebi;31404396]It shall be Faceopolis, the first country to be inhabited solely by angry people. It will be like if Oscar the Grouches trashcan was a country.[/QUOTE] Except Oscar probably has access to clean water, electricity and cable television of which we would have none :v:

[QUOTE=bull04;31404435]Shit no internet? Ha, imagine FP's population in a town with no internet. Havoc!

Completely off the grid, baby.
[QUOTE=bull04;31404435]Shit no internet? Ha, imagine FP's population in a town with no internet. Havoc! Everyone would be going insane.[/QUOTE] Naw, people would probably realize that they have stupid neckbeards and shave them.
Who wants to head the militia/police force? :v:
[QUOTE=ewitwins;31404485]Who wants to head the militia/police force? :v:[/QUOTE] I will. I have played Swat 4, so I know how it works.
We must start a kidnapping ring focused on abducting hot women. Only way to maintain a Facepunch Population.
[QUOTE=Thaard;31404508]I will. I have played Swat 4, so I know how it works.[/QUOTE] Alright, we have our prostitute, our drunk, and our Generalisimo. What next? [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] If we were to run a collection of this thing (even if it were just a joke), how the heck would you get people to trust you on your word that you'd use the appropriated funds to purchase the town/castle?
Have a concentration camp for banned users. And gas the perma-banned users.

sorry this would probably be the biggest sausagefest known to man
Sure, but if we fixed the place up and got ourselves self-sustaining it'd be one impressive sausagefest. Besides, if Maverick comes we'll be swimming in bitches :v:
[QUOTE=Ignhelper;31404573]Have a concentration camp for banned users. And gas the perma-banned users.[/QUOTE] We could use the ones in the concentration camp ground for slave labor to work on our grandoise monuments. That includes not only the actual construction phases, but also the mining and quarrying phases to gather the necessary materials from the land. We'll need to build something magnificent. Like Abu Simbel's temples if we want to establish ourselves as a serious world presence: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Panorama_Abu_Simbel_crop.jpg[/img] Only add our own unique Facepunch themes to them.

Can I be the town bear I will go around making angry noises and stealing pies off window sills
Anyone remember Facepunch Island of '07 vintage where we were going to take over an island by force?
