(As discovered by searching my GoogleDrive for 'Caledonia')

-Buds & Sprouts establishes that Nyx, Dassie, and their kids have a 'small house' in the city.

-OH! Oh, flip! I knew I'd done this, but I couldn't find it - because I was looking for an image, not a spreadsheet:

My 2014 map of the city

It's a rendering of this image of the MyMiniCity, which on comparing to your current version has changed a bit, but is still basically the same.

The weird silo things are tagged as TARDIS stores, where the many TARDISes procured during the Macrovirus event were mothballed. I've also got the police station pegged as the local DIA branch, and it looks like the factories are entered as DoSAT branches (not that there's any evidence they exist...).

I don't think this map was ever published, so please don't feel bound by it. I would consider it a nice gesture if you kept Club Aujourd'hui at the corner of Fait-de-Choses and Bart Ronson, if they still intersect at all, and it would be nice to see any new street names I created retained (though moving them is fine). But please, please don't walk your work back for this. (For one thing, the hospital is way off where Tawaki put it - because I marked the location of a hospitaesque building in the MMC.)

-And ohhhhhh double-flip. I also wrote a Brief Guide to New Caledonia at the same time, which explains exactly what I was thinking, and introduces a bunch of new places. And it's a Published doc, which means I did put all this on the Board.

Yes, I did: here's the thread, which also includes the claim that the DOOCH have been importing hobbits into the farmlands. Which of course can't be true... right?

So I'll make a deal with you: you refrain from scrapping everything in favour of my half-hearted, haphazard, ramshackle work from five years ago, and I'll rewrite the Brief Guide to reflect your map once it's done. Shake on it? ^^

-<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1xFF8he9DI24dk5CA
YUVGdAWQJFBvIRzMQzJ8aErGek/pub">Help from the Past establishes that the Mini-Balrog Adoption Centre, run by Cass (who may or may not be Agent Cassie Young), is in New Cal.

So, um, as a general note... oops?
