Same here.Berithil said:I think everyone here would be in the "nerds" group
I'd probably be the quiet guy who no one ever pays attention to. I have yet to make any sort of impact or impression on the forums (other than the MLP user group)
Oh, and I'd probably also be the guy who is heavily involved with the drama club. I like acting
Well, I'm usually quiet unless someone can back me up.
No matter how sure I am, I'm almost never right with confidence, you tell me I'm wrong, I'll think I'm wrong.
I honestly would imagine Escapist High being sort of a hostile passive-aggressive waste land, where people lie in wait, hoping for someone to express an ignorant opinion so they they passive-aggressively send you home in tears after ripping you a new one. And the debate club is packed, because Everyone goes to the Debate Club. The Debate club is the most popular extra-curricular in school, and if your not there, then you are a square. Gaming Club falls into a close second, followed by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Club, then the Anime club [http://gunshowcomic.com/ac/], and then sports clubs have become the minority clubs whose residents are met with pitying/scornful looks like people who admit to watching anime/attending anime clubs are met with.
Anyways, in this new hierarchy, I would be even less notable amongst my peers, as I am now part of the mainstream. With the Escapists being the students, I would probably not fit in very well and would probably spend all of my time eating alone, and avoiding conversations with most people as not to be brutally debated until I run home crying, and then I would probably run home crying anyways. I wouldn't even be the background kid. I would be the kid eating in a remote corner or room that people rarely come to, like the room of a teacher that no one likes that lets students stay in her room, but leaves for lunch and I would probably be on my laptop watching anime or playing pokemon or something of the sort. I'd probably go as far as to turn off the lights to further fuel my depressive attitude. (I'm not like that now, but back in high school, I didn't really get on that well with anybody. I didn't naturally assimilate with the groups of people I wanted to be with very well, and any friendships I had were hard fought and took a good amount of time. I moved to California in the 8th grade, and it took until about the 11th grade for people to be used to me enough not to be annoyed at everything I say and actually want to talk to me, which was invalidated when I had to move back to Michigan, and make a completely new set of friends. All that hard work, down the drain :[. Being both reclusive, unintelligent and annoying is a pretty damn bad combo)

...In Escapist High, I would probably be very similar to what I was in my actual high school: the nerdy, quiet girl who doesn't really talk much and tends to sleep in the back of the classroom, but occasionally has snarky commentary about what is going around her. Considering my usual semi-lurker status, this seems to fit.
What about a (curse you for making me use this word to differentiate >.>) soccer team? I think I could make that by virtue of nobody else knowing how to play.Fappy said:
Otherwise I guess I'd just be someone with a few friends and acquaintances here and there but outside of that no-one's heard of me. Somewhat similar to my actual school experience I guess.
Id choke from all the political correctness." Guys I know that theres not a problem but I hate people that hate minorities. lets talk about that to make ourselves feel progressive and smart."lol
If I was a faculty member of Escapist High, I'd end up settling in from a previous school district (lots of Internet communities out there). The lessons would be more hands-on, and bonus points for explosions (it'd help keep the youngin's off them darn TweetBooks and FaceVille thingees, dagnabbit!). It's not every day that a class would be taught by a fez-wearing hamster, but Escapist High isn't a normal school! It would involve lots of tiny stairs, robot arms to lift things, and well-placed water bottles. Prepare to get Scienced!
This would be the world's most terrifying school.
That said, I'd be that stupid teacher who keeps trying to be "with it" and cool, but just makes a total mess of it... always.

Personally I think you and your bro's would be the "cool kids". Not in a bad way, in a everyone wants to be your friend way because you're all super fly.Daystar Clarion said:OT: Not a clue, probably some guy who just hangs around, cracking jokes all day and getting nothing done
As for me, I'm a drifter I guess. In high school I got to know everyone and made great friends in each "clique". Eventually I settled down in one area and just stayed there, occasionally going to other places depending on the weather and such.
I'd be the member of drumline who doesn't do drugs. As well as is a vigorous AP student, but is not a complete asshole about it. I'd get my work done on time, and be generally interested in classwork. I'd also enjoy wide arrays of creative writing and goofing off in Computer classes.
I'd be in the marching band (Orchestra is boring) and hang out with the Magic the Gathering club.
Well shit, that sounds exactly like my daily life...

I'm the nerd in the background, filming and reading whilst doing my best to not get involved in the petty drama politics around me... <.<
I'd be the one level headed friend in a group of bad kids who do drugs and shit. Kinda like the voice of reason, but in a humourously sarcastic and prickish kind of way.
I'd also be the alcoholic, that one kid that's always with a beer.
I'd get average marks all year, but that's ok because I won't really try, and I plan on doing a trade anyway.
I'd also be on the soccer team, because I'm actually half decent, and used to play until my knee decided to give in.

It's hard to say since the Escapist is nothing like my highschool, thank god.
I'd just be that one guy who everyone sees occasionally and maybe recognizes but never talks to or is really friends with. You know, that one guy, you think his name might have been James but you can't remember exactly and you're too embarrassed to ask.
