Talk:Assignment tracker map
AWESOME! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:55, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
- Awsome is the word! Great work, Level! Looking through the list, out of all still living evolved humans appearing on the show only four are missing - Niki, Angela (assuming she has an ability), Claude and Bob. Living GN posthumans missing are Traveler, Marcus, Abu Aswan, Piper, Daphne, Samir Mellouk, the teenage patient, the Manhattan target, Maarten, Howard Grigsby, the liquid man, the sound absorption agent and the unseen characters of "The Croatian" and "Guyanan local". Pierre 17:29, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
- Looking through the missing posthumans, one can wonder if there is some reason why these characters where left out... Bob and Angela are the only surviving members of the founders still active within the Company, which would make them standing above the tracking system. Claude has been regarded missing in action (or even dead?) by the Company for almost a decade. And Niki... well... she being left-out is harder to explain, at least until we know the outcome of the Season 2 finale explosion...
- As of the GN characters... Maarten, Howard Grigsby and the liquid man have only appeared in flashback GNs, and might be dead for all we know. Traveler's existence might be unknown to the Company and most of the other characters are most probably being considered too minor to be included by the Evolutions crew. Only Daphne and Samir stands out, but them being introduced just the other day could be the reason for them being overlooked.
- It's nice too see Sparrow Redhouse's name though - meaning that there is still hope she will appear in either the GN or the proper show. Also - interesting to see two new names: the posthuman "Usutu" and Bridget's Company partner Agent Donahue... Pierre 18:51, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
- Bob and Angela are in now. It shows Bob's title to be "director" but funnily doesn't name the Company (since it is their map). Therequiembellishere 03:00, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Abu is on in red, will be interesting if it gets promoted. --Skywalkerrbf 14:00, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Well, if he's red, I'll bet it was a fan who added him. If NBC wants to add him themselves, they will. Therequiembellishere 14:23, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- If you're talking about the tip with a civilian interview from the guys that saw Abu levitating a boulder, I created it :-D Unfortunately, I made a typo somewhere. Also, I heard that they might "upgrade" some fan-created tips; it appears that Bob and the woman with metallic tears were originally added as red tips.--Referos 17:18, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- I think we need to start adding entries to see if they get added. We would need to write them well of course. If we add enough then I think we'll have a good chance. --Skywalkerrbf 17:27, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

Carmen
The map isn't pulling up for me. Is it Carmen Gonzales or Gonzalez? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:45, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- I'm pretty sure it's with a "z". The verified tips aren't showing for me, weird. Therequiembellishere 11:03, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Thanks, TRBIH. Can anybody else verify that for me? Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:04, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Yes it is Gonzalez, I thought it was weird as well. It appears you have to let all the tips load before the verified tips will. -Lөvөl 11:23, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah I noticed that in the end. Even after I've unclicked the other two boxes, I still have to wait. Therequiembellishere 14:22, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

Needs
I think this could use one or more photos of the map itself, at least one for the infobox. Also, it'd be good to describe what original and new mean.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:43, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- I can't get the file to pull up right now, so I can't grab a good screenshot. But yeah, there's a bunch of things that need to be fixed and added before it's up to par. The basic info is all there, but a few things need major tweaks. Another thing that should be fixed is the layout--I like Level's idea of the sortable table. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:26, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Witch one? -Lөvөl 00:08, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- The second. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:55, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- I would day second too, its easey to read the reported sightings, the colour looks good too. --Skywalkerrbf 13:47, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Oh, the colors weren't there when I made the comment above. I like the colors, but not across the entire entry--it's just a bit too much. Something like this might be better:

-- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:20, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- I prefer this one as well. Therequiembellishere 16:40, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- It looks really good! I would love for it to be possible to "sort the colors" as well - i.e. sort company agents and "bag and tag"-victims separately. Pierre 17:43, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- You can sort the colors: click on the arrows for "Tip Origin". (Some of the table would need to be cleaned up so there aren't "dead sorts"...) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Awesome! Would it be possible to create a map to view all useful tips (blue/green), something like Template:Locationmap or would the pins be too crowded in places like New York?--Referos 18:01, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- It's certainly possible, but yes, it would be very crowded in spots, and would really defeat the purpose. If the map exists already, I think recreating the information to be searchable is a good idea, but I don't think we need to recreate the entire map. I'm not opposed, I just don't see the value. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

- Can we eliminate the space between the name and location? Otherwise, I think it looks great.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:27, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- The space between the the name and location is the last name. Here is the template I made to test. -Lөvөl 22:41, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- I was able to remove it from the above example and the template, so I don't think it's needed... feel free to re-add it if you think otherwise.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:12, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
- It is there intentionally so you can sort it by the last name, see here for an example of how it normally works. It was kind of tricky getting it to work like that, if you remove it there is more you would have to remove. It could be changed to say last name, but it is not just for last names it is whatever is in the sortname field. If you can think of something else for it to say, we could try it. -Lөvөl 01:33, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
- The last name sort itself seems a bit unnecessary, imho. It works well enough without it. I looked at the other example and it doesn't even do a sort, but that's beside the point. I understand you think it's necessary to sort by last name, but I don't. If the sort cannot be done without an extra column I think that since the characters should originally be in alpha order by last name, it is okay to leave only a first name sort option.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:00, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

Lewis
Does anyone else find it strange that Lewis is on the map (a) in NYC and not Guyana and (b) that he's even on the map when he's considered dead by the Company? Will other dead characters be put on somewhere? Charlie, Paulette, Hana and Drucker, Matt, D.L., Alejandro, Eden, Claude, Ted and Candice seem the most likely to me. Therequiembellishere 22:17, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Lewis isn't dead, he's simply a tree... I guess conceivably either the Company could have "uprooted" him and transported him back to Primatech Research, or the mission could have been made top secret; but more than likely, imho, the Company simply hasn't had the chance to update him on the map.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:24, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Well, I doubt they'll take him off now that he's on. Also, the Kill Squad would be very interesting for the map. And Paulette said, "I can't do that! It'll kill him!" Therequiembellishere 22:32, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Keep in mind that the squad leader also thought shooting bullets at Brendan would kill him, but that didn't happen.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:42, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
