Boojum Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 (edited) Here's the idea: Someone names a place. This can be a city, county, state, province, country, continent or other recognized geographic region; the only restrictions are that it must actually exist (that lets out Narnia) or have definitely existed in the past (this rules out Atlantis), and it must not be so obscure that no one else has heard of it. Someone else then responds with another such place whose name begins with the same letter that the previous entry ended with. My first entry: Ulan Bator. P.S.: I left out one rule: The entry must not duplicate any previous entry. (Note that this will require reading the entire topic if you're not sure your entry has not been used.)

Boojum Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 {A note regarding this game: The object in Geography is to see how many unique entries people can come up with. Using duplicate entries defeats this purpose; therefore, anyone using a duplicate entry will be disqualified—as has already happened to axeman, stevevan and PDABruce. It is not reasonable to expect staff members or moderators to enforce the rules of our game, so I have taken the time (which I do not enjoy, but I think it's necessary) to find duplicate entries and ask those who have made them to drop out of the current game. If other participants want to assist me, I would appreciate the help. In time, the current game will wrap up of its own accord, and in a few months, we will likely begin another. At that time, all players disqualified from the current game will once again be invited to participate.} Quote
Bunni Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 The object in Geography is to see how many unique entries people can come up with. Question, Boojum? How does this apply to places that have the same name but in different localities? For instance, you used Odessa, Texas. Back where I come from, we also have an Odessa, Ontario. Quote
