I tried a couple before-hand and decided to do new one, if too many rounds were from US, or if it was too hard, or if I did too poorly :lol: So obv this was above-average round for me :) (but easily beatable)

Proud of my second round answer that missed by 25m. I doubt anyone gets close to round 5.
Came second! If I'd have gotten a little better on the last one I would have beaten Olly.

Round 2 had me thinking and then I realised that's the Melbourne skyline. Only lived there for two years :lol:

That's actually pretty bad miss by you! Anything more than 400m is unacceptable! Seen that skyline for the last 5 January, maybe 2022 again...

Zagreb apparently has "Primorskaja" street, it literally translates like "a street near the sea" and there's no sea next to Zagreb :lol: Fecking logic.

Awful. Did alright for the first two but the third I had the correct country in mind but was worried it might be wrong and ended up so far away.
Yeah for the third I picked that country just because there was so much red colour around. Shame on you for the 4th! Had bit of home-field advantage on that one.

I mean I lived in the city so I never really got the best look at it from afar :nervous:

Battle Royale sign-up - 1pm GMT

I will send a link out at 1pm in the thread. It's basically in real time and you only need to guess the country you are in (three guesses and you can move around). In the first round nobody gets eliminated, then one person each round or whoever doesn't get it correct.

Can’t see how anyone can get close to the last one.
Yeah, I would have pre-screened that one if it came on 1st or 2nd round. And wanted to keep it because of 4th.

Give it a few practice goes if you need. You can move around it in too.

Oh, I didn't realise you needed premium to play a private game. I thought it'd be similar to how it works now, where we can seemingly do unlimited challenges, but can only play one 'normal' one a day.

I can't make it for this one but if there's another one tomorrow or the next few days, I'm definitely up for it.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
There was a sign!? I was struggling to think how Olly could possibly have been so close with those last two, as I was doing pretty well up until then.
There was, but it was quite blurry. I had a vague idea of a town name, and was scanning relevant African countries. Quite satisfying when I found it.

Sorry @Solius, thought I’d be able to set it up for non-premium users so you might as well take me out
