Hi everyone! Caru here with some cartographic fun.

Maps. Maps are cool. Maps are groovy. Maps are awesome. Maps are seriously beyond awesome. I mean, sure, my brother's a geographer, so maybe I'm a little biased, but... Okay, I want it known that I get lost while using a GPS device. I can't imagine that I'd fare any better in the City. What we need around here is a map. And I know I'm not the first person to think so since a number of people inquired about a map on our last discussion post.

Hey, look at that! We have, at present, our old map (created by a former recently-returned Poly alum, no less fu fu fu~) to give you an idea of where things have been so far. But it's been a while since it was last updated... A lot of things have changed. We all know that.

So what we need to do now is update it! So, to that end, O Polychromatids, as promised, I need your help to get this map updated:

If you have or use or RP with or even just know of a location that should be added to the map (a business, a building, a statue down some alley, a garden), please leave a comment using the form below as a guide.

Comment Form:

<b>Name of Location:</b> (Good Cooking Pan Bakery, Super-Star Music Studios, a small community garden, a particularly obscene statue--whatever the name or identity of the location might be, please put that here as the name or reference might appear on a map.) <b>Location of Location:</b> (Where is this place located on the map? Outside the City limits? On the northern edge of town? Just off the main square? In the Underground? Be as specific or general as you like.) <b>Notes on Location:</b> (Is there anything to keep in mind about this place? Is it unusually large? Is it very small? Is it an odd shape? Any notes you might have go here)

Finally, a few things to keep in mind:

o1. Nothing presently on the old map will be moving or changing.
o2. Everything in poly_places will appear on the new map.
o3. As much as possible from the old map will appear on the new map.

( A little longer explanation is back here... )

Above all, don't forget about poly_places! This map will be harder to keep updated than poly_places is. So if you've got a location, add it to the growing lists of places in poly_places.

Once there's a fairly complete list of places to be added or edited, I'll make a first draft of the map, post it for perusal by all, and edit it thereafter as necessary.

Okay. So if that's the carousel, then, that means I'm...

Putting this up before I forget, 'cause I know I will--

Alex here, calling a hiatus until March 5th since I'll be in Italy for the rest of the month. I'm actually returning to the States on the first, but I have three exams that same week...and jet lag! Let's not forget jet lag~ :D I miiiight be able to tag a bit tomorrow but idk.

This affects [Bad username or site: cateyedhunter title=Kanone @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: witheringlily title=Uni @ livejournal.com]. They'll both stay in the City, quietly going about their business. But harmlessly, I promise~ (That last part applies to Kanone :| ) ...I feel kinda bad that Uni won't be able to play with her shiny new castmates BUT TAKE CARE OF HER, GUYS! ;___;

Bye-bye until March, Poly~~!♥
