Title: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 16, 2010, 08:51:30 pm Or at least I will be able to see your municipality. Ziper (http://www.star-control.com/community/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=96) was good enough to start this map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=UTF8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&vps=1&jsv=265c&msa=0&msid=111291044097813934938.00048dbf63d529e5bd78f) up some time ago. For reasons I don't know he gave me editing rights. So I'm going to put anyone who wants to be on it in.
I've already done so on the SCDb, but I figured there might be one or two people here who still want in. If you don't want to be on the map, that is of course completely understandable. In that case please make a paranoid post about how you don't want *them* to *see* you. Go on, it'll be totally original and super amusing to everyone.

Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 17, 2010, 02:27:11 pm Yeah, but lets see if it works this time around.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Dabir on October 18, 2010, 02:06:52 am If you're referring to Alex Ness's idea, the reason I personally never contributed to that was the whole 'photo of yourself doing something related to Star Control' thing. I mean, it's pretty hard to take a picture of a computer monitor, and UQM is pretty much all that a significant number of players will do with Star Control. Just saying where I am is enough, I feel.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Alvarin on October 18, 2010, 10:41:24 am No, I meant the thread at SCDB.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Gekko on October 18, 2010, 11:10:57 am This idea originated from Ziper who wanted to get #uqm-arena people on the map instead of using this (http://sianleuka.ath.cx/~gekko/players.txt). Then it apparently was made into a general map of Star Control people.

Then it apparently was made into a general map of Star Control people. In my defence I asked for his permission before mercilessly appropriating the map for my nefarious purposes. There are now 23 or so new names on it from the SCDB, but apparently there's not going to be many from here. Pity that.

Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Defender on October 21, 2010, 02:12:28 am Put me down for Portland, Oregon if you would please.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 26, 2010, 09:41:21 pm You're in as the first UQMF only fella. There's two of you in Portland, maybe you should go have coffee or something.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: SweetSassyMolassy on October 27, 2010, 05:15:33 pm West Lafayette, Indiana here.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 27, 2010, 09:21:37 pm West Lafayette, Indiana here. Done as the second UQMFer ever. Anyone up for Bronze? Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Zieman on October 28, 2010, 09:50:15 am Joensuu, Finland.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 28, 2010, 10:03:35 pm Well it looks like this train is rolling!
Lots of Finns, a bit weird that there are no other Scands around. Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: lakota.james on October 28, 2010, 10:06:26 pm Fort Wayne, Indiana. I just moved here over the summer. Two for Indiana, then? :p

Lots of Finns, a bit weird that there are no other Scands around. No not really. Google analytics provides the following numbers (unique visitors) for those Scandinavians accessing the Project6014 download page Finland 152 Sweden 10 Norway 6 Denmark 3 Iceland 2 Faeroe Islands 0 Greenland 0 This gives you some indication about how insane Finns are vis-a-vis just about anyone else Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: lakota.james on October 29, 2010, 01:19:28 am Cedric, I'd be interested to see the numbers for the other countries accessing the downloads. :p
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 30, 2010, 03:05:41 pm Interesting Cedric, thanks for sharing. that's really odd, the Scand countires are at about the same level tech. wise so it must be a cultural thing. I'd have expected more Norwegians and Danes really.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Alvarin on October 30, 2010, 04:37:34 pm It probably has lots to do with initial exposure - if at other countries original Star Control games weren't popular enough to be shared between friends, there might be entire countries unaware of the demo.
Title: Re: I can see your house from here Post by: Lukipela on October 31, 2010, 01:10:04 am Yeah, I meant I assume SC II is less popular in the rest of Scandinavia and I was wondering why. I can't see any good reason for it to be a hit in Finland and not in Norway or Denmark.
