Well, after hanging out for a chunk of time today in the Beginner Zone at Cloud Party, I can say one thing: there seem to be a LOT of cannon-happy people out there :-)
Today, I spent some more time looking around at various builds, and I came to the following conclusion: Cloud Party needs to get its act together when it comes to providing mapping for its cloud islands. For example, I took a photo of a build and then realized that I had forgotten the name of the island I was on (hey, the names are all so similar, it happens). I actually had to teleport to another island, then turn around and identify the island I had just come from by its jet trail, and click on the island to remember its name. Please, could we have some way of identifying which island we are on by name as well as by number?
Related to this is another, looming problem: as the number of islands grows, it's becoming harder for people to find the one they are looking for. This may not have been a problem at first, but my back-of-the-envelope calculations give me an estimated sixty island neighbourhoods out there. What is desperately needed is some sort of directory, something like the following:
SUBDIVISION ADDRESS LIST

etc.
What do people think? Is this feasible? Could such a directory be automated?
P.S. Also, a couple of days ago I came across a case where two islands share the same name; there are (or were) two islands named Lovely Orchards. Oops!
