Piqued by Ich's post I looked around my file system and according to filestamps the best I could come up with is that I first used asshat "definitely before 2006. probably around 2002.", so that doesn't tell me much :S
Your interest made me look a little further and it seems that asshats are popular since the 60s to 70s at least.

Ah yes. Me being a youngun, I have no grasp of how varied the interweb is, I just assume almost all 40+ers are like my parents.. technologically incompetent.
But if you give it one moment of thought you will come to the realization that we (the 40+ers) invented the technology, the web and PC gaming. So not only are some of us technically capable, but also living proof that "once a true gamer, always a true gamer".

There are a couple of us on this forum who have been gaming since the first week, if not the first day, of the home computer. The first PC game I played came on a cassette, identical to the cassettes used for stereos. I will always remember the thrill I got when something I did triggered the cassette drive, because it always meant that I did something right. It was another year or two before the 5" floppy came out. And I was in my early 30's at this time.

I love map!

<3

I really like dashed borders, but I'll throw in with the solid borders lot on this one, probably because of the nice translucent lines.

I'm going to vote for solid, translucent, and dashed borders, all in one map. Why? Because that way, it looks more like a real map, with crazy regional dividers, with a human behind it, crossing things out and modifying things behind the scenes.

For reasons of clarity, though, I'll go with translucent lines.

Kris O - do you have the sea / land as separate layer files? I don't want to be presumptuous or anything, and I am sensitive to the tremendous amount of creative ownership you've put into this map... but I was interested in applying some of the shading/ texturing effects I experimented with for my Antilarium map. It's a major effort you have here, and I was moved to see if I could make a small art contribution.

The map has several layers.

Background, waterlayover, grass, stuff, forest, civilization, borders, dots. IIRC.

I intend to give you the layered gimp-file so you can cut and paste mountains and sites into your own maps.
