The folks at Iron Crown have started a map of frapper displaying ICE fans and their location. Think it would be worth it to do the same for Harniacs?

The maker is close to my home, about a mile off to the east and slightly north. Not bad though.

Surprisingly enough, mine is! Just no zoom level decent enough to see it - but apparently Ede rates important enough.

Wowzers.

Oh, that's not my home! That's the South High School, some miles from my home. Plymouth is over 100 square miles (you get some perks when you're first in the neighborhood...)

To find my house, zoom to about the sixth step and go north a bit until you see the harbor and the Plymouth Long Beach jutting northward into the harbor. About halfway up on the west side is a sandy spur pointing towards downtown Plymouth.
Then follow that spur to the shore and zoom in until you see the marina.
Put the marina in the middle and zoom in to max magnification.
About three blocks due south of the marina is a cute little park with curving paths.
My house is a half block south of the park's south corner, in the middle of Washington Street on the NW side.

For what it is worth, Steve Jackson Games routinely sends email messages to "members" who are listed in the game finder directory. Each time you get an email, you have X amount of time to respond to it. Failure to respond to it removes your name automatically from the directory. Such a system seems to work well enough in my opinion.

I never realized that Kerry lived so close to me. Well, within 4 hours drive anyhow

Should he worry?

Odd - with four hours I'd be in either Paris or Berlin (If I were to slightly ignore speed limits...) and almost in Copenhagen. It is the same distance yet a much bigger difference in experience.

In all fairness, that four hour drive would take me across the Canadian/US border. I am not one who would drive 4 hours on a lark - but I would drive a set distance to meet with those individuals I would enjoy being friends with based on my online experiences. I've met one gentleman in Maine to donate some of my prized TRAVELLER books I no longer desired (to be honest, I was disgusted with certain individuals on the JTAS boards and the one person who has ever earned my trust and respect on any of the Traveller boards is one I desired to donate the material to). I found myself glad I took that trip actually despite it being a distance to travel. As it was, I realized that I could very easily handle a trip to Plymouth someday if I so desired it and a certain individual was willing to put up with my being in the area

Somewhere along the way, when I can get over the stage fright of starting a play by internet campaign via SCREEN MONKEY, I will start something up in HARN using GURPS. Until then, someday, I shall meet with various of the Canadian Harniacs and/or others nearby and hoist a beer or three in celebration of the good times, the bad times, and the human times (I refuse to acknowledge Gargun as being intelligent humanoids! )

They misspelled my town's name and the position on the map is completely off... at least 10 or 15 km north of the map...

Well...at least they have your city on the map. Copenhagen is apparently unknown to them. Who can blame them; it's just the capitol of one of those silly European countries

Hi Hal,



I actually travel to Buffalo on a semi-regular basis to visit friends (I was there last weekend). Perhaps we could meet sometime.



I find it very interesting the difference in perception of distance between North Americans and (western) Europeans. As a child, we went to visit my grandparents at Christmas, they lived 900km away and we never left the province.

The longest distance I have ever driven without taking a break to sleep is from where my parents live in Kamloops, BC to where I lived at the time (Brandon, MB). I was driving home after visiting them on a holiday. It was 1728km. I drove that in just over 20 hours straight.

I have driven across Canada from Halifax to Vancouver. By Highway 1, it is 6250km and you never leave Canada. That took about 7 days. You cross five time zones.

Once, I was in England visiting relatives in Colchester in eastern England. I was leaving. They asked me where I was going. I was on my way to Caerphilly Castle in southern Wales. They were surprised and asked me if I was going to take all day, or even break up the trip over two days (admittedly, they were quite elderly themselves). I responded, no, I would be there before lunch, tour the castle and then push on for Pembroke. It was only a 300km trip, but they found that hard to believe that I would do it all in one go.

I think the very different scale between North America and Europe has given us different perceptions of distance.

One other curious thing, in Canada we tend to refer to distances in time, i.e. Toronto is 2hrs away from where I live. This is because the length of time to get from A to B can be VERY different depending on the conditions. 200km on a freeway is just 2hrs. 200km on rough back roads can be 3+ hours.

PS I like the idea of the map

I used to back and forth between Washington DC and Columbia SC every weekend. It's a 500-ish mile trip one way. It typically took me 7-ish hours. Living "here" I think nothing of driving a couple hours in any direction.

Now, when I lived in DC there was no power in the 'verse that could convince me that a drive to northern Virginia was worthwhile or practical. As the crow flies, it was maybe 10 miles at the most, but because of stupid NoVa traffic and bleedin' suburbistanis, any trip to Virginia would eat up hours.

Apparently the map doesn't know where Oulu is. No surprise, its only one of the largest cities in Finland. Its also 600 km away from Helsinki which is probably the only city of Finland the map knows.
