It's happened plenty of times before, it's just more often done in the appropriate action recording threads if memory serves. It's just that this time Ian was actually tagged in to the conversation so it was a bit more front and center.

That map is uncannily like the maps from one of my textbooks in college and now I want to check if I have any homework I forgot to do. :coldsweat: Which is to say, great job on the map.
I plan to turn this into an actual thread at some point, but I figured while I have the maps I might as well post them here. Some more from the same universe as the big United States map, with some details tweaked and a little more of the background explained, while being Alabama-centric. Enjoy...
