I wonder if Randall Munroe (the writer/artist) is an active member?

He didn't draw it actually. It was Ethan Bloch.

I'm surprised we haven't taken any of the Forums Islands.

so i totally just abused my access to technology in my classroom after my students left to view the whole map in ridiculo-vision (my auditorium has this 15 feet high rear projection tv screen thing - now we know why tuition keeps going up). it was even more excellent.

If those of NS take Urban Dead, can I at least be assured my characters can go on with their mobbing of survivors and killing of zeds?
I also thought of invading 4chan from Habbo using their access tunnel. I discarded the notion upon seeing that SC2 could cut off the NS'ers in the Mountains of Steam and leave NS itself open for attack.

I am terribly amused. Especially by the talk of invasions of other areas on the map. As I was reading, I thought, "Given what NS is supposed to be about, how long until somebody talks about inv-theeeere it is!" :lol2:

I'm rather surprised some of the bigger writing sites like fanfiction.net don't seem to be represented on the map. I mean, the pit of voles is a 12 year old behemoth of a site and a central point for pretty much anybody who does fanfiction.
