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.

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.

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)

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.

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/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: We should get something like this...

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?
