Cool idea.

But the Wikipedia bonus is WAY too high. If you take over YTMND, then it only has 2 borders, with a bonus of 5.

As stated, WAY too high.

This is like Crossword, only a LOT worse. Scrap it. :?

first of all the map layout is very poor. it's too tall without any particular reason. if it was a real coutry then it would have been ok but since it's a product of imagination there's no reason to make it so tall and narrow.

second, the actuall graphics are really poor. i don't even know where to begin. it's better to take a look at the recently quenched maps and then at this one. for sure you'll notice a huge difference. :wink:

Shouldnt this have a video game theme? The design is just a crappy re-draw of the super mario games.

I vote scrap it, or at least get a MUCH BETTER theme. Super mario has nothing to do with the internet.

Well, I use the google and know that the internets ARE a series of tubes.

It's not a big truck.

I like it. :lol:

gilligan...i think it's a great concept and a huge change for FUN. Of course the graphics and map size need a lot of work but....onya...for attempting something completely wild...reegardless of whose map it is!

I don't like the background: way too dark and detracts from the actual territories.

NO. Graphics are horrible, your continents don't make sense, and it doesn't feel like the Internet.

Here's an idea of a map for the Internet, from the webcomic xkcd :

Now THAT's a map.

Well, no pipes though. :(
