Pretty much. Though some of the players noted are not really playing at the moment.

The completely unofficial Colonial Authority Galactic Map, for your viewing pleasure. It's a big image, for the SCA's space is very small and the galaxy is very big.

Could you perhaps tell me what those words are? My poor eyes can only make out "Here be Drag'ns" and "Astris Incognita".

It's..eh..pretty.
Though a legend or some explanation would actually shed some light on its meaning :P :D

It also might be grossly inaccurate, as earth (which I'm guessing is that "you are here" point) is the capital world, and center of the UTR.
It might be easier if you just took Crazy's map and added yourself in.

HAdn't we had a more up-to-date version of the map?
I remember one where there was a connection from my space to blue pointe station...

Actually, not Pirates. Rather, business opponents.

The Map is from the POV of my guys and the position of the SCA is as accurate as I can remember.
Though the 13 is on the wrong side. *cough* Ah well. Maybe they're looking at it upside down? :p

In terms of the main, map, North of Sabai and West of the 13. Not much there. Which is why we're there.

How long is an in game year on average?


Yer you are probably right Pablo Sanchez, i removed the article. But if you run a search you will see a lot of sites tried to start STGOD's. That is one of the reasons i posted it hear to see if it should be there.

All i new was that when i first saw it i was very confused by it and thought that may help.

What the fuck? TGOD shouldn't be on Wikipedia. What does "spread across the internet" mean, exactly? I can think of two communities where people call it 'TGOD': ASVS and SDnet. And even then, only a tiny majority of people in those groups paid any attention to the games.

I got rid of them after I was persuaded that they did not deserve a page.

Hard to say. The game's timescale varies. Wildly. Battles proceed at slower than real-time, otherwise one day might be approximately equal to a game week.
