Note The Nation II
 
I'm bringing back one of my own favorite games with a few changes.
In this game I or someone else with experience will name a city or region from a certain nation of the world,the next step is an answer from about 1-5 people to which nation it is.Then the person whom asked the question must give the answer and can name a new city to begin the cycle once again,(in a bold italic post so it can be noticed).If confusion arises on who is asking a question I will step in and ask it.Sometimes I will give a image from a city to add to the culture and excitment of this game.


I will begin with Istanbul also known as Constantinople.(Click to enlarge)Click the image to view the full versionIf anyone is good with flags in the picture....

Captain Del 03-07-2010 07:30 PM

Istanbul? That would be Turkey, my fine sir :)

Crestshot 03-07-2010 07:31 PM

Ummm.....Turkey? I think

Dockwrecker The Privateer 03-07-2010 08:14 PM

Very good!The first one was quite easy,you both are correct,the nation is Turkey!


Now for my next question,where is Thuringen ,better known as Thuringia in English?Click the image to view the full version

Crestshot 03-07-2010 08:24 PM

Let's see.....the name sounds like it's from either a German area or a Russian type area....

Yah, let's go with Germany

Oh, and also, the building looks more western Europe from perhaps the middle ages, and it has a cross on it, which makes me more sure of germany

James Bladefury 03-07-2010 09:20 PM

Germany????

Dockwrecker The Privateer 03-08-2010 01:14 AM

Germany is quite correct!Excellent jobs.


Now do you all know where Praha ,known in English as Prague, is?Click the image to view the full versionClick the image to view the full versionI frankly love the images!

muffin pirate 03-08-2010 01:16 AM

i do not know




(looked it up. Czech Republic. is that possible???)

Crestshot 03-08-2010 01:18 AM

Agreed, Czech Republic

James Bladefury 03-08-2010 01:54 AM

Czech Republic!

Dockwrecker The Privateer 03-08-2010 02:10 PM

The Czech Republic I find to be correct!Please remember ye can't look these up before answering the question however I recomend checking these amazing cities out after.


Now can you tell me where Strasbourg is?Click the image to view the full version

djr_8fan 03-08-2010 03:01 PM

Austria???

muffin pirate 03-09-2010 12:28 AM

yes i agree with that... it is not american arch. but not british arch.

Crestshot 03-09-2010 12:32 AM

I can't see the picture, so I'm just going with the name here....

Definitely European, probably the Austria/Germany area. However, we just had Germany, so I'm gonna guess it's not there.

I'll go with Austria too, but it may be Swiss or something as well

Dockwrecker The Privateer 03-09-2010 01:51 PM

I had hoped this one would fool ye all this time lol,it is actually in France near the border with Germany.The city and it's area have swapped between the two nations for hundreds of years,I knew the slightly altered German name would make it harder.(By now ye can tell I know Europe better than many other places. :p )



Now in which nation is the city of Rotterdam?Click the image to view the full version

muffin pirate 04-11-2010 11:39 PM

Japan?!?!!?!?!?!!?

Crestshot 04-11-2010 11:59 PM

Oh shoot, I know this one....ummmm......It's Europe, I know that much.....Poland? Argh, why can't I remember?

Dockwrecker The Privateer 04-12-2010 05:21 PM

I can see you almost had it Crestshot lol!The nation that contains the city of Rotterdam is the "Low Country" of The Netherlands, occasionally known to some as Holland.Good jobs everyone so far in this game!

Lol my vacation from the game has succeeded thus far just not the vacation from POF. :p (The answer to Ft. Lauderdale is coming soon I just wanted to let some others answer it.)

seafox 04-12-2010 07:38 PM

Crestshot 04-12-2010 11:19 PM

Haha, I definitely know that one. Definitely down in Florida. Also, I wouldn't mind taking over the game for you while you're gone

muffin pirate 04-12-2010 11:28 PM

Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dockwrecker The Privateer 04-13-2010 02:09 AM

The seaside city of Ft. Lauderdale is in fact in the United States of America!
Excellent.
Now for anyone wondering I will be taking a short break from POF and so I name this game's new Co-Moderator to run things while I'm gone,I was supossed to be gone last week but that's another story lol.
Your new Co-Moderator is Crestshot!I think ye for your offer and ye have be accepted for the job,thank you Crestshot.She will now be asking locations when I'm not in for as long as she wishes.

Now for my final question before Crestshot begins:Where is Pristina also spelled as Prishtina?The last time I checked there was conrtoversy about the state of a certain nation being apart of another or not ( a really fired argument internationally) so I will accept either nation's name.

Crestshot 04-13-2010 02:44 AM

Um....Iran? Can't be sure on this one.

Pirate J 04-13-2010 02:13 PM

Dubai?...........

Dockwrecker The Privateer 04-13-2010 04:18 PM

The two possible answers for Pristina/Prishtina are Serbia or Kosovo.Good guesses though mates!
I will let Crestshot post the next question as this is my last post for a brief time,Crestshot has permission to add one more Game Moderator if necessary.Später and good luck!

Crestshot 04-22-2010 02:42 AM

My apologies for not having posted here. I've been a bit...yah. Anyway, next city! Kind of simple, but we'll get harder. Can you tell me where Minsk is?Click the image to view the full version

The Skirata Clan 04-22-2010 03:21 AM

You mean the capital of Belarus, an industrial city in the central region of the country; pop. 1,613,000.

Crestshot 04-25-2010 10:24 PM

TSC has it. It's Belarus. That one wasn't too difficult, but I'm not going to do the same this time. Tell me where Cheju-Do is!http://files.meetup.com/1013733/Chejudo.JPG

Dog Firestack 04-25-2010 10:49 PM

Not the globe guy so I think South Korea?? Just sounds right lol.

Crestshot 05-01-2010 04:00 AM

South Korea is right! It's an island just off the southern coast, and a rather large one too. It holds a special place in my heart....

Anyway. Next up is....eenie, meenie, miney, mo.......Wellington! This one shouldn't be hard at all methinks.
