    This is an image game. A companion game to the Google Map game . . .
    http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=34144&st=0
    - so please, no satellite images.

    The primary question for the game is, "What is it?"

    All images should be able to be found on the internet.
    When you answer, post a confirming link as proof of a correct answer.

    Continue the game by posting a new image.

    Hints are OK if the image is difficult or hasn't been answered after some time has passed.

    First image:
    Hint: It's not political. At least not in the sense of what the average person would think of as being political.

    Hmm.. I'm stumped. Got lots of stuff to post if I ever do figure one out, but nothing that matches. Tried population type, age, oil, wheat, corn, mining, education, voting, power generation, rainfall, wind, temperature, and a few more that I don't remember.

    Time for a hint.

    HINT: It has to do with broadcasting . . . um, and cable too.

    It's bad form . . . trying to jump ahead in a game without answering the question. <_<

    More hints for the map: It has to be the right "season" . . . and even then, it isn't in "play" in all areas at the same time.

    I can't figure it out either. I am thinking it has something to do with sports.

    I'll bet it's broadcasting markets by ADI and network penetration. Maybe cable.

    I'll bet it's football markets areas/blackout areas for the regional game broadcasts. Don't know if there's a better name, but if you look at St.Louis it's yellow. Kansas City is purple, and the rest of the state is strips of the two colors. If KC doesn't sell out the area in purple probably doesn't get to watch the game. If StLouis doesn't sell out the yellow covered areas don't get to watch.

    How'd I do?

    That's a hand made up to be a caiman.

    Do I get to post one now?

    Nice try, but it is terrestrial.

    Industrial? Looks like a coal loader-upper. We should have a minimum image size, this pic lacks detail.
