from the creative genius behind making a graph of everybody's political compass scores comes an amazing new idea - an electronic map with little e-pins in it to show where the residents of the general forum live.

any bets on how the distribution will be skewed?

oh, and ill guess that most people will be in the u.s. somewhere

Can we keep this as a sticky please? assuming enough people fill it out, its kinda cool

man, there doesn't seem to be a good way to show the entire world at once (to accomodate those crazy aussies) without having a massive antarctica take up half the map. so i guess that means you guys will just have to scroll around.

Fun!!!!!

*added* Sweet. Now everyone will know the location of the capital once I take over the world. Bwahaha...

I bet that 98% of NS lives in some remote Scandanavian village.
Of course the map won't show it, because the conspiracy to hide this knowledge will result in scattering the locations at which people live.
You see, its brilliant, if the map shows my hypothesis to be true, then I have the facts on my side and am right, if the map shows my hypothesis to be wrong, then the facist conspiracy is obviously obscuring the facts and I am still right. There is no way I can possibly be proven wrong!

oh, and ill guess that most people will be in the u.s. somewhere

that's probably a good bet. but i wonder what the count will look like if we break down the u.s. into european country-sized chunks?

I'm on the map now!

*added*

I don't know, from what I remember of the last "where are you from" poll, there were more Europeans.

technically this is a UK forum...

yeah the co.uk kinda gives that away, but its just a guess...

well aye, you're most probably right!

But it seems that most of the tags are in the US right now.

Yea, but most of Europe will be heading off to bed.

Hmm. I guess I'd better put my addy as Durham... I won't live in Leeds much longer, anyway. And yeah, can we make this a sticky? :D

I don't know, from what I remember of the last "where are you from" poll, there were more Europeans.

that may be, but the u.s. will probably win just on account of having a much bigger population than any one european country. and if europe as whole counts together, then we get canada.

You'd have to ask Canada about that.

And hey, Europe has a common Parliament, Canada and the US don't ;)

My location isn't on that map. Why don't they have the planet Aurora? I kept telling them to put it on, but did they listen to me? Nooo.....

Ah well. I'll subscribe to it anyway, so that I can find out where all of you are and stalk you... nah just kidding. ;) However, I can find out what other NSers live in my area... mwahahaha!

London.

And hey, Europe has a common Parliament, Canada and the US don't ;)

that's just what we let the canadians think

Right! *prepares 13th Special Legion and strike teams* :)

great idea... i was gonna do something similar myself a while back but it would have involved adding people to a graphic-based map manually myself - sod that :P

I don't need a Special Legion to protect me, I just live in the Bronx. Black suits stand no chance of getting to me here!
Aside, did you post your location yet? Or did you just use a different alias to conceal the connection between your fake identity and your fake fake identity?
I really must know as I want to stalk you down and rip your throa- haha I meant to, um, send you a letter bo- er, flowers.
Yes, thats right, send you flowers . . .

It says my zip code is invalid. :confused:

I don't really live in Stockholm, but as it was the most anonymous place in Sweden, I picked it.

wow Fass, according to this thing you live at at least three locations all over sweden... amazing! how do you do it? ;)

i think either it or my computer doesn't like sweden for some reason.


edit: make that 5 places :p
edit: and a place in Finland too lol

yay! added myself, finding myself to be rather lonely in germany at the moment..*cries* folks. come in here! i know it's late but..

i'm in leeds at the moment at the uni. Grrrreat city!

Good man! Live in Headingley?

Great idea! I'm added. Interestingly, I'm the only person on the west coast thus far. Oh well.

Up the Manchester!

And BTW, that's my actual photo. I am a REAL hit in Japan, for some reason...

¬______________________________________________________¬

I'm wonder if I should put my location on the map. Then Fiddlebottoms would know where I lived, NOOO!

Up the Manchester!

Yes, indeed. Up the Manchester. After all, they don't like it up 'em...

you serious, PM? my computer tells me to be just that one and only fass around..in sweden or elsewhere..

I'm wonder if I should put my location on the map. Then Fiddlebottoms would know where I lived, NOOO!

you just need to take precautions. for example, use the name "certainly not neo kervoskia".

The Fassi are indeed a wide spread entity, yet they all share a communal telepathic intelligence, and thus they all use the same moniker underwhich to post.

Bah, bloody thing has put me in North Manchester. I'M ON OXFORD ROAD, DAMNIT!

If I change my mind, may I move?

Ok, I'm in.

It is only fair, I told you my zip code. Even if I went out looking for you, I'd have to patrol the entire zip code, searching one by one too see if I could locate you via your IP address. That takes on average 4 days.
Not that I'd know from experience.
And what are the chances that I am really that dangerous? I mean no one really thinks that I am all that violent? Do they?

Well, nobody is answering. I said Nobody thinks that I am all that violent do they?

Fine then, you are all going to die within the next 8-9 decades.

You'll never catch me! I live inside a highly fortified complex (read: halls of residence) where you have to use electronic tags to get in! Unless:
a) someone holds the gate open for you
b) you get in through one of the open car entrances
c) you get in through an open wooden gate
d) you cut through the bar (with snakebites for £1.30 no less).

Nah, dude, you don't get it. People randomly break in all the time. We had our DVD player stolen from our flat, and at least 4 PS2s have gone walkabout too. Still, a real advantage when you're too pissed to use your keyfob :D

Also, Snakebites and pints £1.30 (except grolsch), pint of Cider=£1. FTW.

I didn't know butt pirates could be capt'ns.

I saw a story on Yahoo! today that talked about rendering cows into biodiesel. Here, we use soybean oil, or corn oil, and if you use waste oil, your car smells like fried chicken or fried fish.

Let's see if I can find the story again ...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4373440.stm

Inside the abattoir at Swedish Meats in Linkoping, the cows stood patiently, occasionally nuzzling the lens of our camera.

From there, it was a short walk past the white-walled butchery, down the steps to the basement where the raw material for biogas, slid greasily down a chute.

Still bubbling and burping, and carpeting you with an acrid stench, came the organs and the fat and the guts. Enough, from one cow, to get you about 4km (2.5 miles) on the train.

Nah, dude, you don't get it. People randomly break in all the time. We had our DVD player stolen from our flat, and at least 4 PS2s have gone walkabout too. Still, a real advantage when you're too pissed to use your keyfob :D

aw that sucks :(
thankfully we never had anything stolen (or nothing i noticed anyhow). then again we didn't really have anything worth stealing :P
but yeah pissed (or stoned) without keys is the way to learn. except, that is, when you're pissed enough to go to the wrong flat (like 4 times in one night :headbang: )

I am not a figment of your imagination anymore! I have grown beyond that, and soon I shall leap out of your head like that Greek broad with the spear and the owl (except I'll have my khopesh and pet dead rat). Then I shall tap dance on the edge of the universe, and vanish into the night.
Then you'll swear off acid for the rest of your life, which is only for the better because that stuff burns holes in your brain.

And Fassi, don't feel so bad. For a few moments I was living in the Hudson River as well as my humble Borough. I knew I should have killed that doity rat, now he's got me an' my brudder!

The strange thing is, people are so scarily friendly in my Halls (flats rather than corridors) that you could stumble into almost any of the flats and be greeted with more booze/cigarettes or, in one case, a 3ft high bong.

Good times.

Nope, unless someone dies/leaves/gives you all their worldly possesions in order to go and live in a Shaolin Monastery.

The last option is the most likely - too many mind-bending drugs.

Laugh all you like, but I doubt that you can honestly say that every trip out at night is an adventure. It is a land of wonder filled with brilliant prostitutes, shining examples of pimps, and some of the most wonderful cutthroats available.

I added myself, though I got the last digets of my zipcode revesed and it put me in Aston at first. I'm in Philadelphia. Can the other one be deleted?

I'm up there, that's kinda cool. For the I'm going to guess no one that cares that's my bus infront of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which most of you will recognize as the beach park in Lost Boys.

I'm apparently the only one representing Southern California.. that's fine.. I like the space.. all you Europeans are packed in there like sardines on that map. :p

Yes, when even the voices in your head have schizophrenia, you might be starting to develop a problem.
Funny thing is, I meant to say "computers", but instead said "people", guess that is just one of those common typoes, like "Hello" and "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLES!"

I knew you were joking, you silly Jayhawk ;). We moved around a lot when I was little, my father was a doctor and so he was always moving around to different hospitals. We went from Poland to NYC to Seattle to Kansas City. I don't really mind Missouri THAT much, beautiful state, and Kansas City is actually a nice place to live, lots of stuff to do. :)

I'll agree. My fiancée goes to school in Olathe, so I've spent a lot of time in KCMO. Good symphony, not the best, but good, and I'm from western Kansas, so KC is a great cultural center by comparison. Ate dinner on the Plaza just last weekend. I have not spent as much time around 18th and Vine as I would have liked, though.

Because most women aren't attractive...
ROFLMFAO!!! True, true! LOL!

Unless your standards are impossibly high. I think I can find beauty in most women. Women my age, anyway.

Hah! Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I certainly do have you incredibly evil Polish women figured out. :p

I disagree :p

I wouldn't say my standards are high. There's a difference between beauty and attractiveness. Some women are just too beautiful to actually be attractive.

Ha. Then explain, why do so many of them get married etc.? Not that I'm disagreeing or anything.

ok im added.

more of y'all need to add pictures

I disagree :p

Unless your standards are impossibly high. I think I can find beauty in most women. Women my age, anyway.

How old are you btw? Some people are inescapably ugly, simple as.

It so is NOT true, and I like my accent just like it is, its a very useful tool when trying to get something from someone :D.

from the creative genius behind making a graph of everybody's political compass scores comes an amazing new idea - an electronic map with little e-pins in it to show where the residents of the general forum live.

simply click on this link (http://www.frappr.com/nsgeneral) and 'add yourself'.

I am on the map but my little red thingy is behind someone elses even so it is hard to click. :(

19.

I don't dispute that point, I just don't think most people fall into the "ugly" or even "unattractive" category.
