Was just watching MSNBC...some special on Atlantis, and on one of their maps, there was a place named Strait of Gibraltar. Decided to do a lil search, and came across this.

After looking at a map of Camp Gib, you can see a spot along the southern coast where Camp Gib could easily be put. It's also along the equator, which would make sence...seeing as the point of this game is to battle on the remaining habitable land...along the equator.

Just a bit a small info.

Gibraltar is a little rock south of Spain that has been fought over a lot because of its location and ability to control shipping into the Mediterranean, i believe the British own it now.

Umm.. try 2900 miles North of the equator. Way off. I somehow understand that it came as a surprise to you that there is a place called Gibraltar, but as one who has known this before I could even speak, I have to say.. "D-UH!"

I'd insult you, but it's against the forum rules. Instead, I got you a prezzie!
