Where In The World Are We?
« on: February 02, 2009, 04:34:49 PM »
Let's play "Where In The World Are We?".  Here are the rules:

1. The image must be of a location somewhere in the world with a distinguishing feature that is unique to that location.  It can be a city, town, monument, park, etc.  It can include a festival or an event.
2. Correct answers are worth 5 points
3. Wait for confirmation from the person who posted the image unless you are absolutely sure.
4. Call for a proxy if you cannot post an image, however you should post if you guess.  
5. If someone proxies for you, you cannot guess on that posted image.
6. Post and update the name listing and code.

***After your guess has been confirmed as correct by the original poster, you will have 60 minutes to post a picture or ask for a proxy.  Any player is entitled to proxy for you. 2 points are awarded for a proxy.  You may not guess on your own proxy.  If you have no intention on posting a subsequent image after your correct guess, please withhold your guess.***

N.B: Staff reserved the right to update this game if proof has been added by the member guessing, or with their own if necessary, if the game hasn't been answered within one hour of the correct guess.  This is to ensure that the games flow freely even if people are playing from differing timezones.  It also means you can post when you don't have time to answer, with the knowledge that one of us may take care of it for you.

I have so little time these days that I really struggle at this game now. There was a time I could spend an hour or 2 sniffing around for the answer and think nothing of it. 

I really need to chill out for a while.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

This is by far the more time consuming game of all.

And that's why I always played it.  I used to have most of my days free and had something to chew on so to speak, but now, even this evening I didn't get home from work until 9pm - and it's the sabbath!! (for me at least that is).

Well at least I had enough time today to source some African capitals.  I'm just lucky that it wasn't a country beginning with "Z" otherwise I would have surely timed out.

Yamoussoukro, C?te d'Ivoire?
