[quote="dragonskeep"]I got the date wrong and ended up with [spoiler]1861. So I was looking for who joined the Confederate States of America last. I completely missed the "four friends" bit as well as the actual map I was drawing all over. [/spoiler] Ah well. Still a very enjoyable puzzle.[/quote]

I hate to rain on your good work with that map, but you've linked Warwick and not Wick, which is in the far north of Scotland. Other than that...
I think, on reflection, this may be my favourite card of them all. Just 'cos.

Map with Vectors (spoiler!)
For those that are interested, here's what a colored vector map looks like. Definitely an awesome card. Vectors in order are: black, red, blue, green.
Enjoy,
EnigmaDude

1861. So I was looking for who joined the Confederate States of America last. I completely missed the "four friends" bit as well as the actual map I was drawing all over.
Ah well. Still a very enjoyable puzzle.

Happened to me once. Now when I search I cover up most of the screen, squint a lot and ignore bits that start "forums.unfiction" - I hate not being able to unlearn things...

Yes. I agree it is a good card. I worked out the 1801 bit in my head but then went and googled "1801 friends four" and it blurted out the answer from this forum! Argh! I wanted to solve it and was obviously on the right track. Maybe there should be a "no robots" option set on these forums so people can't get the answers from search engines so easily.

I really enjoyed this one, and was pleased to get the first solve.
I followed magma's route and got to the same point. Slightly confused I tried what he came out with as the solve, but it didn't work. The next morning I was stood in the shower and it just came to me. Except I thought of the wrong friend but I knew where the link was and got it.
Very nice card, and I really recommend that people try to solve this themselves rather than reading the answer on here. Way too nice a puzzle to ruin like that.
Congratulations to mind candy for another great card.

Tried something, got something back, don't know what to do with it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There are four groups of vectors seperated by semicolons.
I drew them on a map of the UK.
Wick-Bath makes a vertical line
Tain-Derry-Blackpool-Kings Lynn-Weymouth-Rosslare-Lancaster-Tynemouth-Tain makes a figure of 8 (two diamond shapes)
Stirling-Dublin-Cardiff-Hull-Glasgow makes an 0 shape
Bath-Montrose makes another vertical line.
Overall, the picture looks like 3 interlocked diamonds with a thin tall V in the middle, but taking each set in turn it spells 1801.
Any ideas?

[flame set] #134 - Four Friends Acting Up
No signature that I can spot.
The text reads:
Quote:
Fixing four friends up for a date
I traced my courses far from home:
Wick to Bath; then Tain, Derry,
Blackpool, King's Lynn, Weymouth, Rosslare,
Lancaster, Tynemouth, Tain again;
Stirling, Dublin, Cardiff, Hull, Glasgow;
Bath to Montrose; and when I was done
They met, and talked about their past.
My question is a simple one -
Which friend was it joined last?
