The Geography Thread

[reismark]

I thought it was time to bring back an old tradition. (Any CGNer would probably also know that I recently started this up again over there as well.) Here are the rules for the uninitiated:

• The object of the game is to figure out what country I'm thinking of. You can do this by asking yes/no questions about anything relating to it. Whoever ends up guessing the country gets the noble prize of being able to pick the next one.
• For the purposes of this game, all countries used must have a listing in the CIA World Factbook.
• If the question you ask me is not a yes/no question, it does not count in the list and you will simply be ignored.
• If my response to your question is yes, you can ask another question, but you must wait for two other people to ask questions before doing so.
• If my response to your question is no, you are out of the game, unless your question is one of the first three asked. (Essentially, the first three questions are freebies. Use them well.)
• If I respond yes to three questions from the same person, that person receives an extra life. (The person can receive an answer of no to one question and still remain in the game.)
• You may not guess the country as one of the first three questions. After that point, anyone still in the game can guess the country at any time, even if you just asked a question.

"You may fire when ready."

Is the country located in the old world?


(don't you run out of the players soon? )

[reismark]

Please clarify for me what you mean by "old world". I can do some research, but not on a broad topic like THAT.

(don't you run out of the players soon? )

You'd be surprised... it usually takes about twenty questions before we run out of interested people... and if that happens, everyone miraculously revives

No... and be careful with your use of "or".

America?

[gopher]

Is this country located in the Western Hemisphere?

uncle_funk: Can't guess the country before the freebies are used up...

Yes, it is in the Western Hemisphere.

[Juggernaut]

I wondered if the country belonged to the American (New World) continent...

[Ecthy]

I think of a city and you guys have to guess it.

It's in East Germany.

[reismark]

In that case, no.
