The map.

People who live close to each other appear as only a single map blip.

Zoom in, they separate.

How long does it take to update?

[LordBucket]

Much better. Thank you.

How long does it take to update?

That's a very good question. It says that it updates automatically, but that might be every minute, every 15, every hour, etc. I don't know the answer. I can manually update it, which is what I am doing.

Much better. Thank you.

No problem.

Apparently roughly every 10 minutes.

[My Name is Immaterial]

That's not too bad.

[Bauglir]

Incidentally, I don't seem to have shown up. Although my name did mysteriously vanish and get replaced with a '?', so I put it back in just now - we'll see what happens on next update.

EDIT: Although, looking at everyone else's, perhaps I'm missing a negative sign? Coordinates I've got are both positive numbers (N and W).

FURTHER EDIT: Yeah, that looks like it's the case. Bauglir doesn't know shit about maps.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Ya, I think you were in China.

Center of largest cluster appears to currently be glamorous Gary, IN. Maybe we can get a burned out husk of an abandoned factory surrounded by nightly gunfire for cheap!

[TD1]

Noooo, don't you see that most of Northern Ireland is taken up?

Obviously it must be held there

[Orange Wizard]

Added my co-ordinates to the sheet. It still hasn't updated.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Here's roughly the equidistant band across the US/Canada between the two furthest points, at the time of collection of Data.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit: Addition to the point north of Calagary pushes the most optimum placement in northern Kansas, or Nebraska.

[My Name is Immaterial]

So, smack-dab in the middle of Kansas.

[GavJ]

But you need to put a 3-ish hour drive maximum range on it. Nobody's driving from Ohio to Kansas, etc. to hang out in some crappy tin shack made by bay12ers.

Assuming that the project does wind up turning into a micro-nation eventually:
Signs posted on the boarder that say "You ain't in Kansas no more!" with a picture of Coolrune's avatar beneath.
Until then, we just hope that no tornadoes hit.

Agreed. Kansas just puts it too far from everyone.

But, as of his post, there's a concentration of 4 people all within 300 miles of Chicago, plus one within 400 miles. That's a not-completely-unreasonable drive. Quick, casual ebay search for land in Illinois...

3.62 acres, current bid: $200.

Close to a road. $250 processing fee. If the auction closes at $500, that's $750 divided 5 ways. For ~$150 each, five of you could get 3.6 acres within probably 5-8 hour drive. I'm not seriously suggesting you guys actually jump to immediately do this...but if you want...it's definitely within the bounds of reasonable.

Give it another day or two, a few more people on board...if we're lucky with concentrations of people, other possibilities that are also realistic might appear.



Unrelated, whether or not a collective project happens, I hope this thread has helped some of you realize that buying land is very cheap. Those of you offering to pledge thousands of dollars: you don't really need bay12. If you just wan to say you own land and have a summer campsite, you can easily do that on your own.
