The Geography thread

[Wernazuma III]

[ranskaldan]

Part of the Americas - No
Northern hemisphere - Yes

[ranskaldan]

More participation, people!

I will respond to all questions tomorrow, at about 10 EDT = 7 PDT = 16 CEDT.

Remember, only one free question left. From there onwards, if you get a "NO", you're out of the game.

[Adalbertus]

Does it have access to the sea?

[ranskaldan]

Part of the Americas - No
Northern hemisphere - Yes
Access to the sea - Yes

[The Viceroy]

Is it in Asia ?

[ranskaldan]

Part of the Americas - No
Northern hemisphere - Yes
Access to the sea - Yes
--------------------------------------
Asia - Yes

(remember, from now on, you have to try and get yeses or you will be out of the game.)

[The Viceroy]

Was it previously a colony of the British Empire ?

[Richelieu]

Is it Myanmar ?

[Shadowstrike]

Does it touch the Pacific Ocean?

[Adalbertus]

(remember, from now on, you have to try and get yeses or you will be out of the game.)

Weren't the three free guesses per person? You'll loose audience quite quickly otherwise.

Two Questions:
1) Is it entirely in Asia?
2a) If yes: Does it not touch the Mediterranean Sea (Black Sea included for this question)?
2b) If no: Is it Russia?

[ranskaldan]

Seeing as to how many No's there are, I've decided to adopt Adalbertus's suggestion to keep people in the game.

The problem now, however, is that the game has become really easy.

ixnay: 1) Part of the Americas - No
Wernazuma III: 1) Northern hemisphere - Yes
Adalbertus: 1) Access to the sea - Yes
The Viceroy: 1) Asia - Yes
The Viceroy: 2) previous colony of British Empire - technically, No
Richelieu: 1) Myanmar - No
Shadowstrike: 1) touches the Pacific - No
Adalbertus: 2) entirely in Asia - Yes
3) touches the Mediterranean/Black - No

[Adalbertus]

ranskaldan, I think this also was Wernazumas revenge, oops, rule. I just want to point out that I put my question by purpose in the way that your answer should be "yes"

The collection of answers makes it difficult to continue. What means technically, no? AFAIK, Pakistan and Bangladesh were parts of India which was part of the British Empire. Is this technically yes (because their territory was part) or technically no (because the countries didn't exist and therefore couldn't be part of something?)

Anyway, I cannot think of any other good example which might be in doubt, so

1) Any other country than Pakistan?
2a) if no: is it Pakistan?
2b) if yes: any other country than Bangladesh?
-- 3a) if no: Is it Bangladesh?
-- 3b) I first wait for a clarification of "technically".

[Wernazuma III]

Adalbertus: Do your friends actually like playing anything with you

[ranskaldan]

Adalbertus: Was the land now called Bangladesh once under British colonial rule? Yes.
The country in question was never under British colonial rule.

Wernazuma III: considering that now the rules are a lot laxer, you might want to ask a few key question and then get the answer right.

ixnay: 1) Part of the Americas - No
Wernazuma III: 1) Northern hemisphere - Yes
Adalbertus: 1) Access to the sea - Yes
The Viceroy: 1) Asia - Yes
The Viceroy: 2) previous colony of British Empire - technically, No
Richelieu: 1) Myanmar - No
Shadowstrike: 1) touches the Pacific - No
Adalbertus: 2) entirely in Asia - Yes
3) touches the Mediterranean/Black - No
