new idea

Post by ttocs »

I just had another idea today, what about a computer circut board???
I would have a hard time trying to come up with a design for it, but it might be pretty cool.

Another step further might be to make a map of an entire home computer, including;
-moniter
-keyboard
-speakers
-mouse
-other attachments and parts to a computer

I mean we all use computers, so it might be about time we make a map on one. :)

P.S. I dont have any experience on making maps, but I would be happy to learn how to make them with a little guidence and help. :D

Been thought of before.

Here are 3 that have been to do with computers, all have failed.

That said, I would say no. But it keeps coming up, so you could try again. Eventually someone has to make a good one.

So does anyone like it or want me to try to do some work on it?

P.S. This was made from paint, it is only to be a rough draft or outline for the map.

College Football Map

Post by tjjazbec »

A fun USA map could be based on college NCAA conferences with
regions of the country broken into:
- SEC
- BIG10
- ACC
- WAC
- MTN WEST
- PAC-10 as regions to be conquered
and
individual schools like
- Florida
- Notre Dame
- Texas
- USC
- Colorado
- North Carolina
representing entities like individual countries

Example:
SEC: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU
PAC10: Washington, USC, UCLA, UofC
WAC: UtahState, Fresno, Boise
MWEST: AirForce (ColoradoSprings), BYU (ProvoUT), Wyoming
BIG10: .... etc.

It might capture the interest of both Risk/ConquerClub fans and sports fans and college students all in a single framework.

Just a thought.

Wish I had time to do it. It would be fun.
:D

i dont think we are trying to be egocentric, i think everyone in US is trying to think of new ideas, and the best ones we can think of are closest to home

I'm from Canada and I posted that idea because it makes sense just like Lord of the Rings makes sense for those interested in it. Besides, if it would work for College football, why not for World Cup Soccer as well? Its not about political interests its about finding ideas that capture peoples attention. What about breaking a map into regions like they do for World Cup soccer so the regions represented the groups that move someone into the actual tournament? It captures my interest. Anyone else.

I would help you with names and the overall geography, if you mad the US map. or we could make an NFL map and the continents would be the Divisons EX: NFC West= Seahawks, 49ers, Rams and Cardinals. that would be fun. but, i would rather make a huge, like 60 country or more NCAA map
