You should have it called by your username. Otherwise people using the map won't know who to PM if needed.

That's what I said I have no idea how to do that.

It should've given you the option to title it.
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

Krika, could you add a guide on how to do this in your first post? It's more difficult than it sounds.
At least, for me :oops:

I was wondering, perhaps we could also add the known locations of character here too?

So far, whoose locations do we know?
As a side note: I think this might also help HarDHarkoopa in the pattern-of-appearance project.

I've added everybody who's asked, although I just put their markers exactly where Google Maps place their city markers (So generally in the center).

And yes, we can do different colours (click on the blue marker in the upper right hand corner when you're editing the individual things), so we can set another color aside for know character locations. Perhaps red for them?

Thanks, I appreciate it. Also, I think Red would suit it just fine.

Ironically, I live very close to the center of London, so that's perfect placement for me.

Right, so Long John and Gulliver are in Japan, Holmes and Poirot are in New York, Don Quixote is in Seattle, the therapist is in Boston (so by extension Todd is there as well), and do we know where anyone else is?

EDIT: Added Sicon.

Tara Coulson is also in Seattle (of course). Is the Witch still in Kansas? And Romeo and Juliet are in an unnamed American university.

And the puppets! I forgot now where they were. But if they're characters like we assume, they should go on the map too.
