There's a bit of a problem with the cleaner one, though: over a vast continent, it kind of sucks when you can't see visually what different parts of the continent or country people are on. I think it only applies when tons of people are in the same place (like England).

I actually thought about that too, so I tried this, is it better?
I tried to put the dots at the same spot as you guys put them, hope it's okay? It gives some sort of visuality, I hope

And thanks Paul, I added Becca's city now

That is true. I dont know ANYWHERE in America so it was quite interesting to see where all the cities are.

Yeah, it's pretty good to see where everyone's at, and also learing everyone's names!

Is the newer version okay?
If anyboy has a better idea then please tell me

It's actually pretty nice to see that I've been close to a lot of people, I've been to Chicago twice (just at the airport, but it's something) and Los Angeles. I'm going to NY sometime soon too...

Im too scared to get on a plane. I would probably get on a Cruise to America, but I tend to watch horror movies about planes (especially Final Destination) and a certain TV show put me off getting on one ALOT...

You must be kidding me; I was also sooo scared about getting on a plane because of that movie!

I had like ten nightmares about how I sat on that plane and it blew up, plus some about seeing it happen. Scary!
But as they say, the best way to deal with your fears is to face them.
And I did, it was actually not as scary as I thought. I was nervous at the beginning, but then I was calm through the whole ride. The biggest problem for me while flying was that it was so freakin cold, especially over Greenland. Then of course, it was in February

Yeah well I don't understand it either. I mean i've seen Titanic at least 100 times and i'm not scared of going on a cruise. And I go on the underground in London, I go to Kings Cross Station at least once every 2 months to go see my Dad, so I guess i'm just kinda weird. I think my whole fear of going on a plane is mainly about the security they have in the airports. And now theres the whole hand luggage thing thats going over here and its just too fussy

Its great! I didn't notice it when you posted for some reason. I guess we were pretty close posting together, thats probably why. But, yeah its awesome. And an awesome idea

Cool idea!

None of my fonts were even remotely small enough to match the rest, I'm sorry to say! Everything I tried came out unreadable when I made it as small as possible...

So, I put my red dot there but could somebody else add my info in? *bats eyelashes fetchingly*

Thanks, hon! It kept coming out like a black blob

Aislynn, you live in the OC? Wow, then I've been like... VERY close to you, compared to how close to you I am right now

I must say, it's really cool to finally see how far away we really are from each other.

...and for some, how CLOSE we are

If I'm ever going to any cities that contain any LVI'er I'm gonna tell. Hehe
