  • Where's everyone from?

    I found this cool site that uses google maps to show where everyone is from. (just city by city, it doesn't let us zoom in and see your house...)

    I created this one for us:


    They're really neat looking once they get filled up, and it works worldwide!

    It would be neat to post this over on the Civ4 forums, where the majority of people are, but I didn't want to get in trouble posting something off-topic...

    I was hoping someone other than myself would initiate this...

        The zoom is enough to see that you at St Johns School off of Vine St.

        Personally I don't want that much information about where I live to be available.

          Cue someone putting their location in as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or 10 Downing Street or similar.

            That's actually quite a ways away from where I live. I think it just maps it by the center of the zip code or something.

            There, I moved myself to downtown, the way it should be.

            Check out kbarrett's location, in the middle of a forest.

              I added myself, but didn't realise the name would appear. Beka can you change S to DrSpike?

                All it lets me do is remove people. You'll have to add yourself again.

                            Click and drag, my friend.

                            EDIT: Wow you sure do have to zoom in a long way to see DrSpike's location... sucks how they go one on top of the others...
