Anyone know where I am?

Post by SevenBlade »

I've been trying to find an indicator for where I am in the big 'ole world, and I need your help.

Does anyone know which supergrid a Russian city named Wooden Genocide is located upon?

Not real sure about that, but judging from the name I would stay far away from there.

It's long since deserted, actually scrounged what I could from the feilds.

Another place is a much bigger city, which while not totally claimed, had a decent upkeep.

Inside is a place called Pharimington.

You're in my neighbourhood. D4 using the old coordinate system, or (√2, 315°) by polar coordinates (counting from world centre, of course).

And here I had hoped I was on the outskirts of civilization.

Oh well, atleast trading villages won't be a hassle to find.

Yeah, D4 is almost as good trade-wise as the central grid.

finally a coordinate system, one can work with :mrgreen:

and yes, they go anti clockwise, with having the x-axis at 0°/360°, the first quadrant (0° to 90°) running from the positive x-axis to the positive y-axis and so on.

Actually they were good people.

Personally, I prefer Cartesian coordinate systems.
In my experience, most rotational systems use anti-clockwise as the positive direction.
