Do we have any other posters in Asia?
Nilly. All we need is someone from Antarctica.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I didn't jump to conclusions. I took a small step, and conclusions there were. -Buffy
We do have Buffy in Guinea on the Armed Forces Television Network once a week, but it is last season so I am having a friend tape it and mail it to me. I also heard a rumor that it is available in the Middle East with Arabic subtitles. There is another huge Buffy fan in Benin- so that's two in Africa.

Yeah. Me and Angus and Plasmo, etc.
Little Australian geopolitical humour for you there.
The map was abandoned because of the difficulty of scales. Australia is roughly the size of the continental USA and has like five or six Buffistas. New York has ten or whatever, see also LA.
Should we zoom in on Los Angeles in such detail that we'd be helping someone who wanted to stalk an LA Buffista?
Or should we just have a huge forest of arrows pointing to LA saying "Kat, Lori, ita, Allyson, Aimée, MM, Joss etc."?
Obviously the first one's bad, and the second one's ugly. Maybe a map of Buffistas Outside The USA isn't so hard though...

I would definitely be more for the second of "LA: ita, Allyson, Burrell, alibelle, kat, lori, blahblahblahtoomanybuffistastocount..."
Could it be one of those things where it has a star or x or whatever there, and when you hover your mouse over it, a list pops up of who lives there? t /having no idea how to make that happen

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Or should we just have a huge forest of arrows pointing to LA saying "Kat, Lori, ita, Allyson, Aimée, MM, Joss etc."?
How about just one arrow per city and a list of names.
And now that I think of it, some Buffistas will have two cities, like Alibelle.

We had something like that, certainly. It doesn't work in all browsers, but it can be possible.
My original idea has pop-up windows and little descriptions of the places we live in.
It's here but only Australia works.

Ooooh! John, it's lovely!

Thank you!
I guess if we do "Buffistas outside the USA" as one project and worry about those inside the USA as another, that could work.
Where do you live, FayJay? Somewhere in the Home Counties, right?

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
Here are the issues as I see them:
- As well as the scale issue, there is the steady influx of new people, and Buffistas escaping bad places to consider. While the arrows (and stars etc) would look good, I would imagine they'd also take a lot of time to update.
- Finding maps to use. Our base map zooms in, but isn't high on detail. The maps at Enchanted Learning are great, but using them on a web site would be breaking their copyright agreement.
Also, Spain, Guinea, Malta?! People, send your name, city/town, state, and country to minmar_00 at hotmail.com if you'd like to be on the map, I am still updating the lists (sorry about the ads, I have a blocker so I didn't realise. I'll move them to my ISP page when I get a minute) while we figure out the logistics.
