Oh oh, Brewer's gone partying again. Bad times...
If you would like to take part in this season and didn't take part in the first season (or you're just forgetful) have a read of this before I confuse the crap out of you.
https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1142260
So, unfortunately, our careless and clumsy friend has got absolutely wasted again and woken up in a random location with nothing but a camera and a 4G connection (best not to question the plausibility of this plot, we're not going for an Oscar here). You have to help find him using the omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent Google. If you get closer than everyone else, you win the round. Simple. The most consistent player after 10 rounds wins the game.
Season 1 started off with two correct answers, which defined the entire game and lakebeach managed to hold off jseadog1 to take the overall win. This time, correct answers will net you a reduced total of 200 points, so maybe it won't be as decisive as before. Unless you get all ten correct.
The other rules remain the same. The top 19 (if we get that many participants) will score points with the following scale:
| 1 | 100 | | 2 | 75 | | 3 | 55 | | 4 | 40 | | 5 | 30 | | 6 | 25 | | 7 | 20 | | 8 | 16 | | 9 | 13 | | 10 | 10 | | 11 | 9 | | 12 | 8 | | 13 | 7 | | 14 | 6 | | 15 | 5 | | 16 | 4 | | 17 | 3 | | 18 | 2 | | 19 | 1 | | 20+ | 0 |
There have been some minor changes to the points scale to try and make it a bit more competitive. As before, any ties at the end of the game will be decided by who has the least total distance away per round entered over all ten rounds, so consistency is always important.
To send in answers, you will need to make a point on a Google Maps screenshot by left clicking where you think it is. It needs to also be zoomed in far enough that I can actually see exactly where you think too. I recommend downloading something like Lightshot if you don't have it already as it makes it so easy to make screenshots. Then it needs to be sent in a PM to me as sending it in a post would be a little bit silly. Refer to the first season for more info.
Two screenshots is always a good idea with a more zoomed out one so I can see where you are generally and then one with more detail to get your exact location. You might think this doesn't matter but if you're trying to get the location bang on, you're going to have to show me. Please no satellite images. It makes it a lot harder, especially on the zoomed in screenshot, where I can't see shit. Like this example, sent in last season. I was able to work it out thanks to the more zoomed out picture and my good geography skills but I'm not going to let it slide this season. I'll send you a PM back for a better picture.
Any questions that you may have, feel free to send them. In general, it's a very simple game for you but pretty difficult for me, so anyone is fine to play this. No advanced skills are needed, just the ability to take and send good screenshots and have decent geographical instinct. We have a few days until the game starts (possibly Sunday, maybe a bit sooner), so if you want you can post below letting me know of your intended participation.
There will be no punishment for not taking part in all ten rounds except for your chances of winning will reduce massively. You can drop in and out when you want but I would love to get 20 regular participants for every round to make it really competitive. The season will last until the end of March/early April and each round will consist of 2-3 days to send your answer.
That should be everything. Oh, one last thing, try to remember that this should be fun. Wild stabs in the dark that get you 3rd place should be enjoyed. Being as far away as it's physically possible to be while still being on Earth is hilarious too. Good luck.

Next season should only be Bing! 
I'm in again anyway, got to beat Abhishek while trying to beat lakebeach this time.

Ok, last season I didn't participate but I saw from outside... This time I will be in, maybe just because "Mars has discovered the games section!  "...

I have a bunch of assignments to work on next week but I have to prioritize, and it is obvious that this game is way more important than school.
