Guess the map 11: New map at least once per year

[Thorgalaeg]

Cant be anything weather-related. It is something that happens a lot more in United Arab Emirates than in the surroundings for example.

 

[Kyriakos]

Showers

This may be it. Or cold showers, etc
Afterall, it's not called a "scottish shower" for nothing...

 

[Hrothbern]

Showers

it is part of the amount on the map
like that Asterix thing is part of it

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Number of catastrophic climatic events.

 

[Kyriakos]

Water consumption? (or type of water consumption, etc)

 

[Hrothbern]

Number of catastrophic climatic events.

no

Asterix in Britain concludes with Getafix introducing the Gauls to tea, which leads me to conclude that I'm wrong, as Britain and Ireland consume copious amounts of our national drink.

 

[Hrothbern]

Water consumption? (or type of water consumption, etc)

yessss

I did choose it because water becomes more and more an issue, also because of population increase, the meat and agriculture, and water engineering and desal plants are on the rise now.
Map was from here: http://chartsbin.com/view/44463
"This chart shows Domestic Water Use by Country.
Domestic water use is water used for indoor and outdoor household purposes— all the things you do at home: drinking, preparing food, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, brushing your teeth, watering the yard and garden, and even washing the dog".

Watering the yard and garden, for that green oasis around your house, is ofc in countries or areas with not much rain a highly water consuming hobby. In Australia 35% in US up to 50%.

UK and Ireland having an abundancy of rain.

 

[Kyriakos]

Getafix

This isn't his name.

I mean, i never liked Asterix, but "Getafix" sounds very lame. It is Panoramix, non?

Oh, and OPEN FLOOR ^_^

 

[Arakhor]

In the English translations, he has always been Getafix.

 

[Hrothbern]

TIL Get-a-fix

 

[Arakhor]

It's a fairly obvious drug reference, so of course I didn't get it when I was a child.

 

[Kyriakos]

It's a fairly obvious drug reference, so of course I didn't get it when I was a child.

Rather inconsistent as well; i mean you don't see Obelix being called Bigsoftix.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, no, not least because that doesn't appear to be a pun.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Panoramix here too (it is the original name in the french version afaik). But Getafix is hilarious. Any hidden meaning for Panoramix?

It is Kyriakos's turn btw...

 

[Birdjaguar]

nevermind

 

[Lohrenswald]

I don't see how water consumption is supposed to be a "britishism"

 

[Kyriakos]

Panoramix here too (it is the original name in the french version afaik). But Getafix is hilarious. Any hidden meaning for Panoramix?

It is Kyriakos's turn btw...

It is Open Floor - i can't post a new map atm anyway

 

[AdrienIer]

Panoramix is just panoramic with an x. Just like how Asterix and Obelix don't have names related to their personality. Only some secondary characters have thematic names.

 

[Arakhor]

Wikipedia suggested that panoramic could be taken to mean "he who sees everything", but hey, we're getting rather off-topic.
