I, for one, wouldn't mind being included in the list of members on a tile.
I could see how some people would want their own presence.  Given that, I
like both Frank's and Lar's ideas.

Color codes for tiles and 1x1 rounds would be more effective, especially in
high population areas.  The areas around larger metropolis' would run out of
room, so individuality would have to be ruled out in favor of 1 plate or
tile representing multiple people..  We wouldn't have that problem in
Arkansas at this point.  We have enough room to put a 2x2 tile and all our
1x1 rounds (most likely even close to the right "towns" we live in).

"I got five on it", for the shipping, but I'd much rather the builder or
someone close to the builder be responsible for getting it to BW and back
home safely.

Or you could put the number of members in your LUG/LTC under your logo on
the tile.

Not a bad idea but...

Of course since most LUGs are regional, they need not be placed right
where all the members place their dots.

MichLUG for example will have members dotted all over the state, not just
underneath the tile's area...

I am wondering if there is merit in using color coding on the tile and the
1x1 dots??? for example MichLUG's tile could be blue and so could all • member
1x1s... BLOC could be, oh, I dunno, brown :-), and NILTC could be white • and
so on... it is OK to have duplicate colors as long you're far enough away
that there would be no member confusion.

But this may be overengineering.

On another question, what would it take to get this to BricksWest?

Adrian, does it require you in person, or is it shippable if some means of
covering shipping cost were found? From the pic of the stacked sections it
looks like it fits into a relatively small volume for shipment (but
presumably quite heavy)...

I'd put 5 bucks in towards a pool to pay for shipping, and I bet others
would too. However you may well not want to be separated from it, Adrian,
which is very understandable.

Any chance for a shuttle? Maybe it could be handed off to a cleveland area
person who's going, or who's coming to a show where someone else who's • going
is??
