Route Curators of mostly-completed routes! I have a project that needs your assistance!

If I could get a list of everyone who's on your route I might be able to throw together a map from time to time that people could use to visually view how the routes are set up and what's on them.

I had a map I used previously that was accessible via an Imgur link. Now that we have note poles it'd be possible to just update the one map on my street when I get the chance, leave a note about when the last update had been made and link to the new image.

For me it was helpful to see the route member's name and a small graphic related to the route they were on. Now with the quantity of resource thing being an issue, there could be a small number associated with specific resources. For other things, such as player run businesses, there could be a brief description. It'd have to be brief though so pick the most important one!

  • For HRR routes, there are lists that are nearly always up to date in each route's thread in the group.  

    Though I should let you know that we're testing a web site designed by Boom and Bust that will contain that kind of info and should launch soon, in case that affects your motivation.

  • It might! If it's the sort of thing that runs on a script and can utilize small graphics, I'd love to contribute some art to it. I guess you can get in touch with me via glitch mail then?

    I'm aiming to produce an icon-based map as the end result of the project, dunno if that's the direction you guys are taking with the website, but let me know either way :)

  • It seems to me that the Chaos Loop wouldn't really fit into this kind of scheme, so I will assume that you will not be including it, Saucelah. I'm sure the map will still be fabulous, even without us though. :p (lol).

  • Here's a link to the Barnacles & Fireflies Route page. The list of members is front & center & toppish and 100% linky. I'm interested in seeing what you have in mind. Can you do anything about TS's inability to count firefly hives? I'm going to just count them myself and add the count to the group list for now.

  • To be clear, I'm not involved in making the site at all.  But I think it would work for any route of any kind with the way it is set up.  The site shows who links to whom and lists the resources on their street.

  • This is what I'd done initially:

    Quantity of things isn't totally necessary for the purposes of what I had in mind initially, and the chaos loop, is still a loop and could mention one thing of note on each person's street if desired.

    Of course if there's a scripting software that trawls the glitch streets and can pull info automatically that's far faster and much more convenient!

  • @Moehr Ossum This is a great idea! There's an automated street snooper, but it doesn't tell you that, say, a street links to 6 different routes (like mine does). It could be sweet to have a road map.
