Mapping World Domination
After replying to [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=42600895]this thread[/url] last week I thought to myself, "we need an updated map of the progress of Bungie's world domination." So, I decided to start up a [url=http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=154178]Bungie Community Map[/url] where the members of Bungie.net can mark their location and we can see how far Bungie's "reach" currently stretches.
This has been done before quite a few years ago, and it worked out well. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5184319]VII Toast[/url] (and shortly after [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5889087]AJAQ[/url]) created a Frappr map and had quite a few markers all over the world. Sadly, Frappr is now [url=http://platial.typepad.com/news/2010/02/geographic-euthanasia-the-end-of-platial-as-we-know-it.html]dead[/url] and I don't know if anybody downloaded the data. If anybody happened to grab the data prior to it being deleted, I can upload the file and update the new map.
To add yourself to this map, all you have to do is click on the "Additions" menu at the top of the screen and select "Add Marker". All you now have to do is fill in the information in the dialog box. If you don't wish to put in your [b]actual[/b] City/Postal Code for "security" reasons, you can at least select a nearby City/Postal Code so we could get a reasonable representation. You can also go to the "Media" tab of the dialog box and add a picture of you/your avatar if you wish, but keep it clean (I'll delete any inappropriate images I see).
Anyway, I would love to see how close to Bungie [i]really[/i] is to world domination. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
PS: I was going to try Google Maps, but that seemed a little too "open" for people to screw with.
Edit: To make it a little more visible (per Qbix's suggestion), here is the only link in this thread that really matters:

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] wi1lywonka Did anyone realize the USA was so small? I thought we were the largest country, I mean--we're the United States OF AMERICA. Mindless patriotism should make up for the faults of geography.[/quote] Yeah, that's the problems with maps, since the earth is a globe, you have to make some decisions on how you are going to project it on a flat surface. You can't have correct angles and correct surface on a flat map (It's technically possible, but it requires some folding and empty spaces) Also: [url=http://www.petersmap.com/][quote]When the Mercator projection was created, the custom among map-makers was to place the map-maker's countryin this case, Germanyat the center of the map. The Equator is placed 2/3 of the way down the map rather than halfway down. This arrangement depicts Europe as being larger than South America. In reality, South America is almost twice the size of Europe. Alaska is appears to be three times larger than Mexico, although Mexico actually is larger than Alaska. On a Mercator map, Greenland looks larger than China, even though China actually is four times larger than Greenland.[/quote][/url] Just saying.

I live in the try-cities area (hanford). So... I didn't really extend Bungie's reach too far.

I remember when there was only about 100 septagons on this map, this is a really interesting tool!

:O Like 5 people live about 10 minutes from me. I don't feel so lonely now

We need more people in Utah, guys.
