I thought it might be interesting to see what the geographical distribution of our members is.
Terra Australis...."unknown land"....:eek:
So my "Day Job" is writing Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining applications.
Not that this indicates who is currently active on the site, but from the member page
and just counting those individuals with at least one post.
As of about an hour ago, this is what I found:
Location Members Posts Argentina 1 1 Austrailia 8 598 Belgium 1 64 Brazil 1 5 Canada 2 167 Czech Republic 2 88 France 1 1 Germany 2 442 Hong Kong 1 1 Italy 3 212 Netherlands 3 103 New Zeland 2 3 Poland 1 18 Spain 1 45 Sweden 1 1 UK 17 1260 US 65 3913 TOTAL 112 6922
Just call me the party pooper ;)
Breaking down the US portion of the above by state:

Ohio is a hotbed of SOGness...
I wonder if that is just chance or if it is because of the Origins Game Fair.Originally Posted by Berthier
Ohio maybe a hotbed but Oregon has one member with 400 posts. This person is keeping the state in the game by himself. Well done that man. :cool:
Which state is N/A? :)
N/A: Possibly a state of confusion.
(no state was listed for this member)
Obviously doesn't want Big Brother finding out where he is then. :)
Ready to set sail in Philadelphia PA!
Illinois, though most people here consider Chicago and Cook County their own state and wish it was.
Bavarian seaman sailing for France!
Fixed it for you, compadre. :)
I'm not sure I like being called Soggy..... ;)
A well deserved correction.
Are y'all sure your not from Texas...or maybe Arizona?
There are times I wish I was. I love my city, but I despise our politicians - no virtue, no service, no sense.
Come on, you talking about my city...
Unfortunately, I am probably talking about every city, state, and nation. Chicago politicians have made such behavior an art form.
Buncha Seattleites on the Kickstarter... if only they'd all join here, maybe we could form a club--Puget Sound Naval Shipyard?
Sounds like you need to form a press-gang!
Ick, that would require me to leave my underground command bunker and venture out into the urban jungle... seriously, around some parts of this area "wearing protection" means a Kevlar vest, a carry-permit and a sidearm. (Let's put it this way... back in the '90s, some of my range buddies were regulars among the heroes of Cops.)
My Friend, you should live on the Southside. Chicago has always been a rough city, but there are areas that are veritable war zones. When my wife and I first married, we lived in a neighborhood that had additional armed security forces driving around because the CPD couldn't keep up with violent crime. That was almost 20 years ago. There are many places that have gotten worse. Thankfully, it is illegal to carry a handgun in the city limits.
LOL, it's not the gangs but the drug-traffickers and hopped-up meth-heads... this area used to be the Meth Lab Capital of the USA.
Yeah, meth is pretty nasty stuff.
Tell me about it... there's a reason my cop buddies, when I was looking for advice on my sidearm, ALL told me "get a Colt .45."
Alberta , Canada
Ok I the only one from South America!!!Săo Paulo, Brazil!:g&t:
AHOY Mates!!!
Nick
I'm down with the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard movement. Thank God I'm not in Seattle, can't stand big cities, but I am in the area. It would be cool to join up with some other SoG players in the region.
I'll throw off the Data Mining. I'm Canadian, but currently living/working in Brussels, Belgium.
After having lived in the UK for 4 years.
And France for year. Then Canada for two years, then the UK a year before that. And so on.
Sigh
Eastern Ohio, along the ohio River, just west of Pittsburgh
On a geographical point, the United Kingdom and Ireland are part of Europe, even though we have a political party in the U.K. that wishes we were not.
Six continents listed, and then UK/Ireland. What's wrong with this picture?
My father is Hungarian (his family fled in 1944 before the Soviet Army arrived), and I wear that heritage proudly. I'm just heartbroken about the political events there in the last few years.
But by birth I am American. Living in Oakland, CA.
Do we have a player registry started yet? I am in MD and would like to find other players in MD, Northern VA, and Southern PA.
Having much time to read I saw that I did not answer; now, I`m living here:

Greetings :g&t:
Born in Chicago, but by choice live in Arizona. Blame the Chi town political machine for that.
Cubs & Bears still my favorites.
Sorry for getting off the subject Keith.
I wonder if the whos and wheres have had any percentage change in the data breakdown provided by RichardPF since March. I know that the Green Mountain State has now at least one member.
I am from Heol Gron, Cwm-twrch Isaf in the village of Gurnos. Five miles from Ystradgynlais!
I am now in Kent in the South-east of England (the European continent).
Rabbit
Let see... Ystradgynlais. That would be pronounced East-ragin-lays, correct?
I dated a girl a long time ago who's father was from Pontardawe. That was my first experience of Welsh, couldn't understand a word he said, plus he had a stutter and he spoke real low. I can't beleive I even remember the name. I think that is near a big forrest preserve. Is that anywhere near you Rab?
I am a mutt, been all over, my family is from all over. You can tell I am a mutt, by the wet cold nose.
Currently in Florida, America.
I'm from Belgrade, Serbia.
(this is Belgrade's coat-of-arm)
I would say that has a lot to do with it, though most could be cross-over 'Dromers, Ohio having a very active WoG population.
But so often we are, Tommy. And this time of year, I'd rather be soggy than frozen.
Karl
You might be soggy, but we're windy, though the reason why is still debated: http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news...r_out_of_.html
Growing up in Chicago I can remember garbage cans being blown a block from where they started, and walking to school bent forward at a 45 degree angle so the wind wouldn't push me back. But, my vote goes to Chicago politicians. Much more wind and hot air.
In the early- to mid-'80s, I worked for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, at City Hall. I experienced both types of wind on a weekly basis.Growing up in Chicago I can remember garbage cans being blown a block from where they started, and walking to school bent forward at a 45 degree angle so the wind wouldn't push me back. But, my vote goes to Chicago politicians. Much more wind and hot air.

Bloviate

1.talk at length, esp. in an inflated or empty way.
Must be the word blowhard came from.
That's great.
I am confident it will be used before year's end; I believe we have at least one faculty meeting left.
Sweet. Have fun with it.That's great.

With all the recent reading I've been engaging in some interesting words have made it onto the vocabulary list such as veriest driveller, pestiferous, vituperative to name a few.
Guys, you know, you scare me
Nicer guys you'll never meet.(providing that you never leave your house)Guys, you know, you scare me
