Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

Football makes more sense, but I dunno what we'd call American football. We hardly use our feet in American football, though... that and it's more corrupt than our politics.

i thought american football was like rugby

I use Soccer because that's what it's called out here.
Thing I don't understand is why people, especially those in England get upset when the term 'soccer' is used, as if they're the foremost authority on what the sport should be called, and that anyone on the other side of the Atlantic is some sort of stupid prat.

We did invent the sport, so I guess we have a small amount of authority over what it's called. 
That being said, I really couldn't care.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Since language is meaningless if not used as a method of communication, and since I live in the US, I say Soccer. I can definately see the case for calling it "football", though, and I switch over when I'm traveling abroad.

We invented it. It's called football. American football is called 'American football, not 'football'. Why Americans thought they could just call it football even though that's actually a totally different game, I have no idea.
It's a bit like calling a game with only Two countries involved the 'World Series', and it's victors 'World Champions'. No one would be arrogant enough to do that... Oh, wait...

Like I said, it's a language barrier.
We named American Football 'Football' because the "ball" is oddly shaped and measures about 1ft long in length. The name of the sport describes the ball itself rather than how it's handled.
To the other guy who mentioned 'handball.' That's a totally different sport played with a little rubber bouncy ball, a wall, and the palms of your hand.

Now, now! You just know that some archaeologist in a remote part of China will discover that Soccer was invented sometime during the Qin Dynasty. 
But anyhow, who cares? Why is it that people care so much about what the sport is called?
When I was in York in '04, a bud and I were eating lunch and Soccer was on the TV in the pub. I made a comment about Soccer being on the TV in the pub, and some moron nearby, completely unprovoked, goes on a tirade about it being called football, and that we 'American's' are all wrong, and that we all suck, and all that drivel. He called me the wrong thing (American), but I didn't get upset about it, nor did I even politely correct him.
Half my family is Australian. To them, 'football' is Aussie Rules, and Soccer is 'Association Football.' They call our version of football, 'gridiron' but you don't see us North Americans upset about that. Seems like it's only the English who care way too much about what soccer is called. That's been my observation.
