I'm calling it "COSTNER".

The desert sims look like "THE POSTMAN"...

The water sims look like "WATERWORLD"...

I can't find Kevin Costner drinking his own urine, however. Man, those were two great films.

Regards,

-Flip

The Middle East, or Alaska.

Seems like a waste, though, considering all these polluting prims traveling down the Prim Pipeline(tm) are going nowhere...

It's oxymoronic, but Sealand... sorta like Oceana. Sounds more like an attraction at Disney World, though.

Call it "LEPIDOPTERA"

Except for ANWR, all of the sims appear to be named -- quite naturally -- for different species of moths.

95% of all Lepidopterans are moths.

And the pipeline is already leaking in three places. Didn't see any wildlife.

Figures.

Magellan probably ate it all. Or mixed it into his drinks for that exotic kinda flavor.

There seems to be an aircraft down in Columbia. Fairly old wreckage it seems.

How are you all getting there? I hit ANWR and just stop. I can see the oil rig, but can't move.

Tried relogging to no avail.

ANWR is apparently messed up right now. I imagine they'll fix it :-)

I took my chopper, slowly crossed into ANWR, accelerated to top (crashing ito everything possible within 30 seconds crazy mad) speed, and mannaged to cross at about walking speed. Spiraled into the ground in the next sim, but made it. Otherwise, you just have to dig in and work through the molasses.

No, seriously... I do get a kick out of all this pomp. The oil rig looks great.

Patagonia is a place in South America.

Name the new continent Rodinia.

Rodinia is a good name, but we don't know how the rest of the continent looks yet, it may be one continous one. The current continent would fit well with Rodinia.

I think Alaska works well due to ANWR, I forget what that was said to stand for right now, but it was something like Alaska Natural Water Reserve or some such(I'm probably way off there).

Or Mothopotania.
