Game: Locate yourself

Question

This is just to get an idea of the actual size of our community of learners. It'll be funny, I think, to find out how close can we be with people who are so far away, as it happens in this site.

You need to download the latest version of the image, edit it with MS Paint (the easiest choice), write your name (in the "sea") and add an arrow to where you approximately are. If you need more space, add more "sea" on the sides.

Keep it as PNG, so it won't lose resolution with the edits.

Latest version, so far:

Coolio, you're from Chile - sinsonte, May 24, 2012

Me gusta la idea! pero creo que me voy a demorar en hacer mi dibujo :(... igual lo voy a intentar! :D - Juliss, May 24, 2012

Comunacho, I tried to participate, but didn't know how to access what I needed. - sinsonte, May 24, 2012

I'm in central Texas by the way. - sinsonte, May 24, 2012

For me, it was easiest to copy the image, paste it to Paint, put in where I live, and upload it to Photobucket. - bandit51jd, May 24, 2012

Good idea! Funny game! Though this map has been changed since the independence of South Sudan in July, 2011 - Fidalgo, May 24, 2012

Moreover, in this map, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan are parts of Russia though they're independent now - Fidalgo, May 24, 2012

And one more thing: Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993, but this map doesn't show that they're 2 distinct countries - Fidalgo, May 24, 2012

Wow that's amazing. :) - shama807, May 24, 2012

SD-ers from those countries can indicate that. But this is a Spanish English learning site, I doubt that we'll have lots of contributors from those countries. - mcl020, May 24, 2012

And even though frontiers may have changed a lot: the division land-water of the Earth probably hasn't changed that drastically. - mcl020, May 24, 2012

Comunacho I want to participate, but I am not able to download, I live in Central Florida. Good idea for a game. - pmikan-pam, May 24, 2012

Same problem here, comunacho. I'll try paintshop pro but I haven't got time just now, it will take me 2 hours, approx. - annierats, May 24, 2012

Oh mcl020... I don't know about that comment. There have been people from all over on this site to learn some Spanish. I don't get your comment, but no matter. I just wanted to put that out there. - sinsonte, May 24, 2012

jajaja I just looked for a map with enoug space. I did't check with the UN first, - comunacho, May 24, 2012

mexico - Rey_Mysterio, May 24, 2012

Thank you for your game. Unfortunately, I was able to add my name. But I still love your game. - Nilda-Ballardo, May 25, 2012

I may not know how to add an arrow :) - Fidalgo, May 24, 2012
