I still don't think that's right, otherwise we would have filled the image by now. If the same small group of people could slowly fill in a circle by activating throughout the day we would have hit it by now. I still think each geographic location has a small frequency pattern that they add to the puzzle.

I might be wrong but I think that gif is over the course of 15 hours, I was taking layers at 6 am PCT and they were near horizontal, now it's leaning left side up.
-
It is possible, I'm still just skeptical (in past days we were able to get more circular patterns early on).

I think the patterns are somehow based on geo-location of IPs but it's just my personal speculation. It would be possible that they use latitude/longitude I suppose.
-
that's what I was thinking, geo-location, but you're saying the others came into view much faster, do you think that was due to populations, speed of rotation, axial tilt, or our measurements?
-
or all the above? i think its more complex than we are assuming
-
I'm beginning to as well
-
No clue. I was guessing a given region had a specific pattern. But I stay logged in as much as possible just in case.

i think you must be right, the tilt is looking the same for both the animation and what I can glean from the stills. I hope the -blam!-ing north pole reaches higher than the bottom of the letters, that may be why Mercury is -blam!-ing on us
