Where Am I? - GeoGuessr: R5R
brewers90
No idea if people will play and enjoy this but I thought it would be worth a try. It might just be a one-off. Smile

Silly old Brewer has got himself lost in the wilderness after a heavy night of drinking. All he has with him is a camera and, incredibly, a 4G connection. You need to use the photo he sends you to try and find him and send someone to pick him up. Obviously, the closer you get, the more points he'll give you.


Current Standings - After Round 4 of 5

Rounds = Number of rounds participated in
Wins = Should be fairly obvious
Kms = Total number of kilometres away from the correct answers. See this as similar to goal difference
Points = Well, duh


The points system is quite simple as long as people take part. The closer you get, the more points you win. 100 points is the highest score if the taxi (or Uber if you prefer) you send to pick up our stranded wanderer is the closest of everyone. Only distance counts, not the country, so you could get closer despite being in the wrong country. The rest are as follows and more will be added if enough people take part, hopefully.

1st - 100pts
2nd - 75
3rd - 60
4th - 40
5th - 25
6th - 20
7th - 15
8th - 12
9th - 11
10th - 10
11th - 9
etc.

If you somehow get it bang on (within ~1km), you will get 250 bonus points and a restraining order, you stalker.

If at the end of the season, two people are tied (for whichever position), the person with the least amount of distance in total away from the correct locations will place higher.

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. Pfft

For example, if I showed you a picture of the Eiffel Tower, this:

i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd369/brewers90/Screenshot_1_zpsuzcdfet2.jpg

is clearly going to be better than this:

i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd369/brewers90/Screenshot_2_zps0qroavg4.jpg

for you and me.

The locations can be anywhere that has street view and some will be harder than others. If there is enough interest, round 1 will be posted on Tuesday or Wednesday and anyone interested will have between 24-48 hours to send in their answer (depending on how many people we're waiting for). It shouldn't take you too long to make an educated guess anyway. If you're lucky enough that one location happens to be your own house then so be it. That's the luck of the draw. This game should be fun (and potentially hilarious when you realise you're 6000 miles away).

The plan at the moment if there is enough interest is to have a first season of 5 locations with the winner being crowned at the end. The idea is that this 1st season of 5 would take 2-3 weeks so there should be enough time for everyone. You're not going to need to be here 24-7 to take part. If people enjoy it, there will be more and maybe can be expanded to 10 per season. Consider this a beta test. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work but it could be a lot of fun.

It's impossible not to join after reading this intro, someone has got to save poor old Brewer!

Hey, that may just be something to go for in the end you know. It's still not easy to win that. Pfft

Nice to see some solid interest already. I'll definitely give it another day until we start though. I make it 9 so far and I'd like a few more really.

Right, my internet typically died for nearly 24 hours which is great when you've just decided to start a forum game.

Thanks to everyone who has registered interest. We have at least 17 people which is great. Grin

The first round will be posted in a few minutes. I will give everyone until 5pm GMT on Friday to send something in but hopefully we won't need to wait that long. Remember, the game is GeoGuessr not GeoSpend10hourstryingtofindtheexactplace. Pfft
