Hi,
I have just looked at the new maps as posted on Entropedia, and it got me thinking..... (Not always a good Idea I agree!)
Why did the continents change shape?
A small change here, and a small change there I could understand as being due to the new system, but the reality is more looking at a map of the real-world from 1500 and then a map from today.
The continents are not the same shape!
We arrived on calipso by space, how on Calipso did the early cartographers manage to get it so wrong? Were they looking through the wrong end of their satellite camera's when they photo-ed the planet?
Moving TP's outposts, etc I understand. Being man made then can be moved. But it;s hard to understand how a continent can change shape overnight, with new rivers, lakes, mountains....
Thoughts?
Over to MA to come up with a cover story...
