Updated Real Life Meetup Chart


Slarti

Recommended Posts

I would love to meet/hang out with more people from here, but I'm kind of stuck geographically. Realistically, I think I could probably only get to see Aran or Tridash fairly easily.

Sorry I'm poor. The good news is there's about a 100% chance I'll visit in the next three years.

I'm still trying to figure out why the central meetup happened in Carlisle. There is not much of anything there and it is not near a major airport.

 

My recollection of it might be pretty skewed, but I think it was pretty much because I was visiting Nicothodes. Nico lived close enough to Tyran, in Carlisle, that a trip made sense - they might've even met before then, but I'm not sure. Anyway we decided to visit Tyranicus, and invited lots of people to come. Grimm made it, and I persuaded Dikiyoba to come from Oregon to see us too.

That's pretty much spot on. Nico and I had been talking for a while about meeting up sometime because we were only 2 hours' drive away from each other, so when I learned that Nikki was going to be visiting Nico, I invited them to come visit. At that point, we figured we might as well invite a bunch of other members and make it a Spiderweb party. It's hard to believe it's been 6 years since then. Here's a group photo we took with Arancaytar on Skype.

I have no idea what is going on with my right eye in that picture; it's kind of creepy.

 

(Also, those Eddings novels look huge, especially next to the Robert Jordan ones below. The Eddings paperbacks (aside from Belgarath/Polgara) in our school library weren't even half the size of The Eye of the World...)

I think there have been some new meetings in the almost exactly 1 year since the most recent version:

Fill me in, please.

 

I'm still thinking about using colors for geography. I'm not sure there's a good way to do it. There are a few locations that would appear widely enough to be interesting (like Pennsylvania and Colorado) but there would just be a lot of splotches of different colors, to the point that it wouldn't be possible to interpret the colors meaningfully when you look at it.

 

Another option would be to use color or shading to refer to time, or perhaps to quantity of meetings.

If i'm not incorrect, this should be somewhat what the graph should look like by the end of June. Holla if there are any errors.

Also, here's the nodes and edges in csv (there'll prolly be come duplicates, but no mistakes besides that): https://cdn.calref.net/files.calref/16/0286e911_swirl.tar.gz

It would be nice to but i leave in literally one week so I don't think we have time to work out the logistics.

 

I'll be in this place called "london" for a few hours though if you wanna drop by for lunch or something :p

 

Yeah, we probably should've arranged something when I asked you three weeks ago. :p

Yeah, self-edges are a bane of... well, something :p

 

I'm updating mine now. There are one or two edges not on yours and one or two minor updates that I never bothered to upload. I'm trying to decide what to do with colors, as the clumps are becoming less relevant. My best thought right now is approximate current location. What do other people think?

Oh, no, it's still based on Sylae's CSV. I'll check for the differences.

 

Edit: I think I've made a mistake importing that, though, because eg. Actaeon -- Rose is missing.

 

Edit2: No wait, that edge is also missing from the CSV, as are two of Nico's.

 

No missing nodes, though. Note that each edge is only listed in one direction (namely alphabetical).

 

Edit: Now with a neat visualization tool: https://ermarian.net/services/games/graphs/

Edit: Does the edge color represent location? Because in that case, I met Diki in California and Tyran in France, so those edges should be red and purple, not purple and green.

 

Tyranicus is now the uncontested center, as near as I can tell.

 

I think this code reflects the new chart. Checked most of the degree counts.

Yes -- will correct those line colors. Also, if anyone wants to fill in line colors for the unknown gray lines (or current locations for the gray boxes) I'll add those in too.

 

Re Goldengirl, there wasn't room without enlarging the dimensions of the whole chart. I may try to do some reorganizing in the future but there just isn't really a great way to deal with the quasi-septangle of the SW corner no matter what.

Well, Kelandon appears to be the king of meeting people who haven't met anyone else.

If I remember correctly, Drew met Andraste. Have fun with that line, given the way the diagram is set up now.

 

At the time (possibly still now?), Dareva was "South." Feo Takahari is "California." If "Wiz" is Wizcozski, she's "California" too.

 

And "DC Area" should probably be called "Mid-Atlantic," because I'm not in the DC area.

I'm also definitely mid-Atlantic, not DC. I used to live in the DC area, but I don't really anymore. And when I met up with Slarty I was living in New England.

 

—Alorael, who can contribute that Dragyn Bob was also mid-Atlantic when they had their near-miss. And SMoE was too, but he hasn't been for a very long time. Neither have been Spiderwebbers for a long time, too, for whatever that's worth.
