How about this ... forget miles/meters ... use "blocks", where every block = claim. Then number every claim in the world w/ (x.a,y.b,.c) where x and y are the claim coordinates and the .[abc] is the offset within the claim (note: 3 dimensions) ... you could use (x,y) if you only needed rough location and (x.a,y.b,.c) for a precise location ... then bring on the slash commands! .... "/loc" and "/faceloc x,y"

Could just call each claim (or unclaimed lot of land) a SECTOR.

As I said before, it doesn't matter if "miles" or "meters" is the measurements, because it'll all work out. In this game, miles and meters are just words, not realistic measurements.

I can live with 32 claims equaling 1 mile or 1 kilometer, and a person can use what they want to use... "mile" or "kilometer". I'm about to make signs for how much distance to my town, and it would be nice to have some kind of understanding on it.

The word kilo means 1000 and in 32 claims there are 1024 blocks. 8 levels, 124 blocks per level. This is assuming each block is a meter. Seems like calling it a kilometer is as close to accurate as we can get. The world sees 'kilo' and thinks 1000, 1000 blocks is actually 31.25 claims if they figured it out they could see that and not be confused when we round up less than one claim. If the world sees the word mile and becomes confused. I think we should do this because if we figured that a block was a yard instead of a meter then it would be 55 claims per mile. 55 won't divide into 4 and there are 4 claims per level (I sure hope I'm correct and there are 4 claims per level) but 32 does. and 32 claims is so close to 1000 blocks. We ought to forget about yards and miles and say that a block is a meter. If I'm right and there are 4 claims per level.

You're making it harder than it needs to be, just so you can use "kilometers". Just say... 32 blocks equal a mile, or 32 blocks equal a kilometer. To each his own, and when you see the word "miles", just pretend you see "kilometers", and when I see "kilometers", I'll pretend I see "miles". I like how it is in America, and we use a different words than Europeans do. I've been resistant to the European metric system and always will be.
