Not that there's much room in Europe to mark anything else in, but there's also the Ruhr Conurbation (although that's possibly part of Euro-Cit) and the Kingdom of Belgium (although it appears to have a President in Lobo v Judge Dredd) to go on there.

Childrens' books that are not suitable for the little ones. As illustrated by Josh Cooley of Pixar.

A future competition idea, perhaps?

Does anyone disagree with the world map for things likes MC2 really being as far in to mexico as that world map shows? Did East meg 1 streach from St Petersburg to Moscow to Volgograd and as far east as at least Kazan (as I always thought) or is/was it in the Surgut area like the map seems to show? East meg 2 is it built around Lake Baikal?

As I'd always assumed that MC2 was meant to be the Dreddworld equivalent of California, then it's location on that map is too far south.

Speculatively, the locations of the East-Meg cities are dependent on how much of a pounding Russia took during Booth's war. Where Americans were able to rebuild over the rubble of the east and west coasts, if Moscow and the surrounding areas had been totally destroyed the Russians may have found it easier to move east to rebuild. Around Novosibirsk seems a reasonable site for EM1 and building EM2 around a large freshwater lake like Baikal also makes sense.

But as Usher says, it's all determined by what's required for the story.

Quote from: Tweak72 on 23 May, 2010, 09:28:01 AMis it ever mentioned how many sectors MC1 Had before the war? Or is that mentioned in the Bobs Law sector reorg episode?

Don't know if the number of post-Apocalypse sectors were ever given. Meka-City took place in the ruins of south sector 555 though.

A kite and a house Mike? I suggest that you don't watch "Up". It might give you ideas. :)

"Hours of work are between 7am and 11pm, Monday to Sunday. We haven't worked out the exact shifts yet. Hourly rate is £6.20. How does that sound?"

It sounds like you don't want to employ someone that's got over ten years experience, that's what it sounds like.

This is what COULD await you if you vote for me





Shouldn't that have had Karen Gillan's face photoshopped onto it?

Not a dream, but the story itself is about an exam that takes place whilst Janus is sleeping.

Heywood sentences all four of them to life imprisonment, but they're all released by 1961.

There's a cat in me greenhouse what am I gonna do?
There's a cat in me greenhouse what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna replace the broken pane of glass the fucking thing left when it panicked, forgot how it got in there and made its own exit via the side.
That's what I'm gonna do.

Sigh.

Next year I shouldn't have either financial problems or domestic responsibilities, so if there's enough South Walians to get a mo-pad together, I would be interested in going.
