We should get something like this...

The ultimate "where do you live?" thread! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

This would fit perfectly into the Malfadorica or SE.net... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Atrocities]

That is interesting and oddly pretty much how our players look now.

[The Frenchmen]

Thats awesome, I'd put my loc on it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Renegade 13]

We've gotta do this for SEIV!

[Renegade 13]

Ok, hows this? Image isn't small though, so it may take a minute to load on smaller connections. Look at the light blue circle in the area of central British Columbia. That signifies me (and Bearclaw too I guess!). Hows it look?

Tell me what your city and country are, and I'll add you to it, and update the post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Atlanta, Georgia, USA

[narf poit chez BOOM]

How did you get that??

[Renegade 13]

Douglas, check out the image below, it's been updated to show your approximate position. Please let me know if it's too far off http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif It's in a rather light-polluted area, so the blue is a little difficult to pick out.

Narf, I "borrowed" the image from the Astronomy Picture of the Day archive. Here's the link to the original image (though mine looks a little darker for some reason...hmmm.)

Linkage to APOD website. Enjoy, they have a lot of awesome pictures. (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001127.html)

[Kamog]

Vancouver, BC, Canada http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif

[Renegade 13]

Canada 2, US 1

You have been (or will shortly be) added Kamog! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif I may have put you slightly too far inland, but didn't want you slapped on Victoria either!

[Slick]

Kailua, Hawaii.

Just target one of the middle islands and you'll be close enough.

[Renegade 13]

Ok, done Slick http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif . If you want to see the newest image, you may have to refresh this page once in a while, since it doesn't always automatically display the latest image it seems..

[Will]

Currently in Los Angeles, CA. I know Fyron is in Riverside, CA, which is just a few more miles inland.

Mahalo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The Netherlands, Europe.

[Puke]

its hard to put a little dot on the Netherlands. how about a city?

San Francisco, here.

[Kevin Arisa]

McMinnville, Oregon USA

[dogscoff]

Stick me in the middle of the south coast of the uk. I posted a google earth link to my place not so very long ago. (Seomwhere around here...)

[Alneyan]

Put me right at the centre of France (if you remove Corsica, if memory serves), more or less on the same level as New York... Well, where is New York again?

[Zaamon]

Heinola, Finland.

[Randallw]

I'm in southern Tasmania. The little island just below eastern Australia.

Puke said:

You must be confusing the Netherlands with Sweden or something. The Netherlands would be completely covered by a dot on that map, so not to worry about that.

If you still want particulars, somewhere not too far below Rotterdam.

[Captain Kwok]

Toronto, Canada for me. Tesco would be a dot to the right, and SJ would be in Waterloo, so that's a dot to the left.

[Makinus]

Umuarama, Paraná, Brazil

[Ragnarok]

Monticello, Indiana, USA

[El_Phil]

Oxford, UK

[Emperor's Child]

Fredericksburg, VA, USA (just put it on DC and you will be close enough)

[Combat Wombat]

St. Paul, Minnesota, USA

[Ragnarok-X]

Berlin-Germany-Europe. Just in the middle of it will be okay http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ExSentinel]

Bryan Texas- About 90 miles Northwest of Houston

[Wolfman77]

Rockford, Minnesota. just west of CW

Ah. I thought all the little white dots where SEIV players and was wondering if you had been frantically looking through 'Where are you' threads or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Vancouver area, BC, Canada.

[Ed Kolis]

Cincinnati, OH, USA (actually just north of it... if you want precise coordinates here they are from Google Earth: 39°13'16.83"N, 84°31'34.06"W)

[Renegade 13]

Updated!

I hope I found all the places correctly, at the very least the general area will have been selected. A couple are nearly on top of each other, like Kamog and Narf both in Vancouver.

I'm in the eastern tip of Tennessee.

[Combat Wombat]

For areas with multiple people a number instead of a a bunch of dots over each other might be the best way to go.

Good idea. Will update when I get back from my classes (~6 hours).

And a color that has more contrast would help too. Light blue doesn't work too well for a map that is largely dark blue with spots of white where there is lots of light during nightime.

Lots of red dots might look like you're planning on sending missiles to all those places, thus ensuring your dominance of the SE Universe. And you wouldn't do that... right? Right?!
So I suggest a bright green.

And if you're keeping track of rough coordinates, it might be cool to get a really big map eventually. Like 4000 x 1700 pixels. Then we can all print out a big copy for the war room. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You've placed Ragnarok in western Poland http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif A little more to the left (2 or 3 dot-widths would do) would be more accurate I think. Or am I mistaken?

[Renegade 13]

Oops...will fix!

And green dots sounds good too. I'll update when I have time sometime. May not be until tomorrow, very busy today.

How about this map?

Earth in True Colour (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020305.html). I do suggest crosshairs by the way http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm in Carlisle, UK. Shouldn't be too difficult to target...I mean mark http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Emperor's Child]

That's a nice map... Personally I like that better than the night map of the world.

Now why didn't I find that one? Think I'll update the map with the new map, a LOT more locations, better colors, and (maybe) crosshairs. I was actually thinking about crosshairs just before looking at this thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Emperor's Child: Totally agree. Will be the one I use.

Any suggestions for colors? The new map will create different coloring problems, so any suggestions welcome. If there's no suggestion, I'll just use whatever I think is best, so it'll turn out ugly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Also, multiple colors are possibilities, perhaps for different regions? Might clash though...

Will suggested bright green for the old map, might work here too. The old light/bright blue may work better too. I'm not sure.

Oh, and Will this map isn't quite as big as what you'd wanted, but 2048x1024 isn't a bad start! Work shall begin on the new map tonight when I get home!

[Renegade 13]

Updated with locations from the other location thread, and new map, and new color!

Yep, I already have both you and Alarikf down http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Though to see Alarikf's location, you almost have to have the picture at 100% scale, not a fit-on-your-screen size.
