Hm.  Interesting thought.  I'd prefer flags because they take up less real
estate on the map (and if we have a lot of attendees from any given area,
the map will be cluttered there.) But tiles would stay on more easily and
would be less likely to get knocked off accidentally.

How about a poll?

around.

And I think it really looks great by the way. :-)

...Whoa!!! That's BEAUTIFUL :-) That'll be great fun at the fest. • (maybe
use those trans antifreeze yellow dots everyone has so many millions • of)...
ooh! and another fun idea would be for every club to make a mini flag
sticker for a 5 tall antenna and put it on the map :-)


Thanks.  I was thinking of using a different color of dot for each • fest.  Or
not, I don't know, I hadn't really thought that much about it.  I • figure
they're really cheap on bricklink so I might pick up a few hundred • before
the fest.

The flag idea is a great idea too.  I'd love to see that!  Heck if LUG
representatives want to start sending me flags, I can start populating • the
map ahead of time. I'll have to take them all off before I transport • it
though, so maybe not.

(...) have most of the members put their 1x1 dots under the LUG's tile (obviously 0-3 wouldn't fit since the tile needs a stable 2x2 pad). Of course since most LUGs are regional, they need not be placed right where all the members place their dots. (...)
