Hmmm... I wouldn't vote for any if there were other options, but I see I must.

I think I'll go with Paris. I don't know why. It just seems like a cool place to visit. I'd go to Germany first though....

Arda (from lotr)

Nirn(Elder Scrolls)

I don't know any of these.

Arda looks more Earth shaped. By that I mean the land and the water looks kinda the shape as Earths.

I think I will go for the plane(t) of Nirn. It has really beautiful landscapes, it's a world where magic is prevalent, interacting with other plane(t)s of existence. It depends a bit on the Era it is in, but I would love to see a real night sky with Masser and Secunda rising above the Ashlands dunes..

Reach from Halo. It's just personal preference.

Arda is the planet in which all of the Lord of the Rings (and related) take place. Nirn is the planet where all of the Elder Scrolls (mostly) take place. And Reach is the planet that Halo Reach was named after.

plane(t)

The 't' should totally be in it, it's the planet of Nirn in the plane (or realm) of Mundas.

There's a reason I wrote it that way; it's actually the way it's written in an in-game book in Morrowind, The Lunar Lorkhan.

Yes, it is part of the plane of Mundus. But Nirn is the mortal plane, or planet, as it is the same thing. You can read it up in the Cosmology page of the Imperial Library.
Interestingly, I learned something while searching for the links; I knew that the fact we see the other planes as spherical planets was an illusion of our mind; but the new thing is, the way the IL defines the other planes compared to Nirn, it seems Nirn is the only plane that is actually spherical, as it is finite. So in a way, I have to agree with you that Nirn is what we would conventionally call a planet in the real world, as opposed to the other plane(t)s.

Nirn purely because the lore in skyrim is really well done.

Arda, because of how in-depth the LOTR-Tolkien world is.

From the satellite image, Reach looks like what Earth would look like if it was cool. I'd rather live on a planet that looked like that from space than one that just looks exactly like Earth.

As a veteran Mario Kart Double Dash balloon battler and bob-omb blaster, I have to vote for Luigi's mansion for being arguably the best all-purpose battle stage in the game.

You were voting for Reach right Ernie?


You could say that's what I was....reaching....for.
