Considering the population on the Oolite Nightly webpage visitors map let's see how many will go public.
I'm not sure it works too well: I'm from France, and it registers the last visitor from France on February the 8th, even though I go through the wiki and the forum and least once a day. And concerning the website, I'm sure I went there several times since February.
Added myself to the map.

Well, IP geolocation accuracy to determine the nation of a user is supposed to be very high.
Anyhow this widget gives a high level idea of the visitors visits and their topology.

Yup, and a very interesting topology it is

I am truly amazed at the geographical diversity of Oolite players

This is a tricky one for me these days - looks at 'location' opposite <---

Would you have a hint for me to achieve such a feat too?
I'm quite eager.

I really don't know how it happened. I was making some toast, and one thing led to another.....

So you're saying it's the best thing since sliced bread?

Reports of my death have been greatly underestimated.

Ah. My wife often does toasts. Perhaps I should warn her. [...] After checking, she would appreciate to become an pan-dimensional mega-being too.

Toast leads to a nice hot cup of tea, which can produce a strong Brownian motion - eh voilà!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Err, I can't quite find how Brownian motion would create pan-dimensional mega-beings...
How short-sighted of me! It only needs to be written to be understood! Of course, a big bang IS brownian motion at its best, and would pan-dimensionalize any beings in the vicinity, quite probably megaing them in the process, naturally.
