Lol yes. Search for Ryan REYNOLDS here. @Kat

 

[Tommy Boy]

I’m going to rescind my offer to play. Difficulty isn’t the issue, it just I don’t think I’ll be putting in the effort to actually search the way I should and I don’t want to make a mockery of a game that seems really interesting and fun

I think it was @Tommy Boy

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

But what do you think of my latest test case?

 

[shortkut]

I’ll say yes if I can just lay there and do nothing if it makes you feel better… not sure if you’re used to that or not

 

[Smacktard]

I think this game is going to be awesome, so I'm gonna pester people to join.

See if you can figure out the things Tubby and I have posted and if it would be an enjoyable game for you to participate in.

 

[TD]

@everyone

Nope.

 

[Crystal]

Come play.

...I...this is a trap.

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

How about the easiest of easy:

What Body of Water is this?

 

[TD]

...I...this is a trap.

No.

We love you and it's a fun game where we all try to figure out locations based on things posted by Tubby and Alu.

Join us.

There is one VERY helpful clue in this photo

It's a river. What do I win?

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

Also @Crystal - @Tubby23 and I are gauging difficulty in a geogusser-ish Amazing Race game. There will be more to it than just identifying the correct locations/things in/near them, but getting that bit down is important.

You win the chance to be more specific.

Sure? Maybe we can come up with some bonus points for getting the exact same image on maps.

Is this more the difficulty level we can expect recently or is this still gauging?

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

Is this more the difficulty level we can expect recently or is this still gauging?

Still gauging. Probably going to have a mix of easy ones and harder ones. Probably also get harder as the rounds go on.

Different point values for the different difficulties?

Different point values for the different difficulties?

I think from what I've seen this may be hard to do. Some have been easier for people than others and there doesn't seem to be a pattern yet.

It's likely due to level of knowledge of any specific topic.

Just like jeopardy. More difficult questions in one category might be easier for you than easy ones in another

@MrDawn

 

[TD]

Yes, so, about that...

I've never watched it either but from what I gather, we're basically teaming up with a partner and determining geographic locations based on pictures from Alubby.

 

[MrDawn]

The route will involve guessing the location that you need to "travel" to from a Google Maps screenshot (similar to GeoGuessr but without the required sign up), teams will then be timed on how long it takes them to complete the route for a given round. Rounds may focus on one or more countries and may have themes. There will be Clues available to help you guess where you need to go however these will have time penalties attached. There will be elimination and non-elimination rounds

@MrDawn

No. I'm not a big fan of playing Pokémon Go.
