[Madame Adequate]

I'd guess Hong Kong. I'm not playing, but

[Jiro]

I am guessing just because I think everybody needs to cheer up a little.

(SPOILER)Perth, WA, Australia

[Raistlin]

So I miss the easiest one while I was out of town earlier this week, and come back to this nonsense.

Sent in my completely random guess.

[Spuuky]

They took a photo with just enough evidence to make you dig,

Wat. Even a CIA agent with all the technological tools at his disposal would probably struggle triangulating a location.

You grossly underestimate modern technology :C

[Pumpkin]

And that concludes this supremely difficult round. The location was (SPOILER) Metro Manila, Philippines

ROUND NINE


Where am I?
Start guessing!

[Beowulf]

Looks nice :3 I wanna guess...

[Raistlin]

Who the smurf is from the Philippines to take that picture? And how the smurf did Endless and Denmark get it right on the nose? You people are insane.

[Denmark]

god damn it endless

mine was pure mildly educated guess, nothing more

edit: "mildly educated" meaning: it doesn't look like any western architecture but it's clearly a sizable city. manila was the first eastern city i saw that looked close enough. and i think aicha lives there?

[Yerushalmi]

What.


HOW DID YOU GET IT.


I had guessed Yekaterinburg, Russia. There are quite a few red-striped buildings there with the same style of architecture.

BUT HOW.

Uh, say, 41-Inches-Wide perhaps?

[Raistlin]

I try to know as little about you people as possible. It keeps my medication requirements down.

[Formalhaut]

Why didn't I go with the Philippines. I WAS SO TEMPTED TO GO FOR IT. "Oh but Formy, the majority of members are from America, just go with logic for this one".

Smurf you Formy. Smurf you and your stupid brain.

EDIT: I should probably clarify why I thought the Philippines in the first place. I don't know, I just got an Eastern vibe from the image (which makes me wonder why I didn't smurfing go for it in the first place). First of all, there's there sort of misty haze surrounding the photo, which you generally get in Eastern areas, I can assume. Also, some of the houses seem very low to to ground and not akin to something of a shanty town (it isn't, it's just that short of style of low to the ground house. I'm probably not explaining myself well). Either way, that, and the weird atmosphere made me think 'Philippines'.

The reason why I asked people for a list of submitters was because I really wanted to see Pitye/LonlyPaperStar's name on that list. She was the only person I knew who lived in the country. If I saw her name, I would have gone with it, but I didn't know Aicha lived in the Philippines (I barely know her), and so with the only real evidence for it being the Philippines being like a mildly calculated stab, I just went smurf it and went with America. Statistically, with only TWO members in the Philippines, and like 90% of members being American, I have a more than likely stab at it being at least that.

But no, of course not. I was wrong by like half the entire smurfing globe. How I am still barely clinging on to a 'barely passable' 5th place is beyond me. I can't even be mad at Aicha for taking one photo because she's so darn cuute!

[Endless]

[01:28:36] <Endless|Awayyy> There, sent my dumb guess for this round of geoguessr
[01:29:00] <Endless|Awayyy> If I get less than 200 points, remind me to play the lottery

Dumb luck and educated guess.
I had a gut feeling it was Asia from the start, possibly China. I was pretty sure it wasn't Vietnam. So I searched for high rise buildings and skyscrapers in Asia. When I say I looked at thousands of diagrams, it is no joke. Same with pictures, but I never found the buildings in the image, not one of them. So out of frustration last night I was ready to say some city in China or Thailand, so I did a last minute google earth flyover and realized most big cities in China are coastal, and have roofs the wrong color, so I had to change and flew over other countries around. I was ready to say Hanoi (I had it typed in my PM to Shion) but changed my mind for Manila because it has a very high number of high rise buildings and skyscrapers, and had roofs the right colors (red or green or white).

ROUND NINE[/SIZE]


Where am I? Start guessing!

I thought we were supposed to submit our own pictures? As it stands, I can name at least two (possibly three) different locations for these pictures and source them.

Same here. They're from at least three different cities miles apart. What's up with that?
