Hmmmm.... Some are using the word logic, but then describing feelings based on personal experience with their own location. YOUR mountains and YOUR large body of water are not THESE mountains and water. We don't all live in SF. So while it is perfectly acceptable to state your feelings, because i think that's the fun of this poll, please don't suggest they are logical.

Spock would not approve.


(P.s. this comment is "tongue-in-cheek". Don't flip out on me. I feel like I have to specify this here lately) :roll:

A.
I don't really know why.
It just is.

I picked A ... Mostly because back when I used to play the old 8bit isometric games, the directional controls always mapped the UP key to up-left. So on that basis North would be up.

:mrgreen:

YMMV of course.

Now THAT is logical reasoning!

That's pretty much what I meant. Just didn't explain it as well.

Added this photo to my reply, showing West Springfield near the mountains:

I always felt the mountains were west, because that's where my mountains have always been. Nice to see the map back that up!

Honestly, I've always viewed the directions as this:

• Mountains
• Opposite of mountains
• Water
• Opposite of water

No one would ever be confused by this.

Alright! I think this option needs to be added to the poll and I should be able to revote.

Of all the things to poll on - hilarious! And after my vote, A & B are tied at 68 each. 8)

I'm rarely serious :mrgreen: and I've been on the internet wayyyy too long to flip out over misunderstandings.

I'm still right though :-P
