Here we are in the second thread, not even four months after starting. Here are Lance's rules from the original thread:
quote:Originally posted by lancesrealm: Here is a new game I thought I would try out. Just like the "I'm thinking of an animal" thread, posters ask yes-or-no question to find out what city/town/village I am thinking of. This should give us all a chance to beef up our geography, huh?
There are only a few rules:
1) Questions should be of the "yes or no" variety.
2) Try to make the towns something that is visible on a map. A fishing village of 3 Innuit might be too small, for example.
Ok, off we go...try to guess...
Where am I?
Quis gave the last correct answer, so it's his turn to be somewhere.

Posted by Quislet, Esq on :

Apparently Halifax supplies Boston with a Christmas tree every year because Boston sent a relief train immediately after the Halifax explosion of 1917. On December 6, 1917, the munitions sip Mont-Blanc collided with a Norwegian ship Imo. The subsequent explosion (the world's largest man-made accidental explosion) killed 2,000 people and injured 9,000. To add to that disaster, a blizzard came the next day and dumped 16 inches of snow.

I answered this question from Kent that neither the historic province nor current department begins with any of those letters; however, for clarification, the region I am in does begin with one of those letters. France's system of regions and their constituent departments is kind of confusing. I apologize if I misled anyone.

You're on Honshu. You're west of Okayama but east of Yamaguchi. According to Google Maps, unless I'm mis-reading them, those four - Okayama, Hiroshima, Shimane and Tottori - are the only prefectures that have territory within that range, yet you say you're in none of them.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
your summary above contains an error. Re-read your prior questions, and compare them to your summary more carefully.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The only error I can see in the summary is that I said you're east of Yamaguchi rather than "not west" of Yamaguchi. So I'm going to guess you're in Yamaguchi.
But I thought that was ruled out when you said it wasn't in Hiroshima prefecture. Unless I've done something wrong, it looks to me like Yamaguchi is in the prefecture of Hiroshima.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
nope. Yamaguchi is in its own prefecture.
Yamaguchi it is!

Argentina and Chile maintain a permanent population in certain Antarctic bases? I imagine those would count as "towns," wouldn't they?
Not to mention US, Russian and Norwegian bases. British, too, maybe? Antarctica seems fair game.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Yes, but those are manned by only scientists. The Argentinian and Chilean ones have civilian populations.
Posted by Blaze on :
Awww *blush* thanks IB! But no, not in Oceania.
Yes Lance, I am in Europe.
Posted by Blaze on :
Yes Future, population is way over 200,000.
Certainly not Antarctica but that wouldn't be a bad proposition. Posted by lancesrealm on :
Are you north of London?
I actually thought about using Antarctica earier in the game. I don't think I ever found a populated "town" with a name, though.
Posted by Blaze on :
I am not in London.
And to answer your Q about a town in Antartica:
Villa Las Estrellas (Spanish: "Starstown") is a Chilean town in Antártica Commune, Antártica Province, Magallanes and Antártica Chilena Region. It is located on President Eduardo Frei Montalva Base, a military base, on King George Island. It is the biggest and one of only two civilian settlements on Antarctica (the other being Argentina's Esperanza Base). It has a summer population of 120 and 80 in the winter. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Las_Estrellas) Posted by lancesrealm on :

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Alert it is! Northernmost permanent settlement n the world!
Ibby, I've never been to Grise Fjord, actually; I just know of it from studies.
It was founded in the 1950s as a forced relocation of Inuit in order to have a settlement on Ellesmere during the Cold War, to strengthen Canada's claim to the island (and to the far north in general). Bureaucrats in Ottawa decided it was a good idea, assuming all arctic habitat was alike and interchangeable, so they asked an Inuit band to move there, promising fresh hunting opportunities and resources to get going - and passage back if they didn't like it. Both promises came up short.
Ellesmere had none of the land or sea resources the Inuit were used to, and there was virtually nothing to support the population, in far harsher conditions than they expected or knew how to deal with. Ottawa decided the Inuit were just refusing to adapt and got too accustomed to the provided resources, so they cut them off - while also requiring those who did want to move back to where they were had to reimburse the government for their travel expenses. With nothing profitable to hunt/sell, little to eat, the community was stuck there and virtually starving or at least malnourished. It took decades to adapt, at a cost of many lives. At times, Ottawa only lived up to its assistance promise once a nearby American cold war air base learned of the Inuit plight.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Ibby, are you in Eurasia?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
And an extremely small settlement, if I remember right.
Thanks for the quick summary, Kent. I read that the government finally settled with the Inuit survivors and descendants, but never apologized for basically stranding them there.

Are you in St. John's?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I am in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (to use the province's full name).
I have a funny connection to Newfoundland (though I've never been there). My friend Max in Boston always boasting of his WASP pedigree which included his grandmother who was from a prominent Newfoundland family. Years later, after I moved to Texas, some relative I never met did genealogical research on my maternal grandmother's family. It turns out that her mother was born in Newfoundland. As soon as I found out, I called Max and said "Guess what? I'm a Newfie!" His classic response was "You can't be! I won't allow it!"
Over to you, Kent!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Ha! I never knew until the year I lived in St. John's that "Newfie" was a bad word, although they are usually okay with Yanks saying it vs. Canadians, as to us it lacks the scorn Canadians (especially Torontonians) sometimes attach to it.

It's kind of like "Yankee", I guess, which is a word no one applies to themselves. There's the old E.B. White bit about it ultimately meaning someone in Vermont who eats pie for breakfast. Of course, most New Englanders, being Red Sox fans, particularly dislike the word.
Are you in North America (as defined before also to include Central America and all those islands in or near the Caribbean)?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
there are some northeasterners who call themselves that. but not many, it seems.
Yes, North America as so defined.

Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Are you in Blanc-Sablon?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Given the shape and population distribution of Quebec, the question, as worded, is too ill-defined to answer. For some, 'northeast Quebec' could mean anything northeast of Montreal. For others, it could mean anything northeast of Sept Iles or even Schefferville.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Are you in Northeastern Quebec as defined in this article - http://wikitravel.org/en/Quebec. Quote: "The rugged coastal region northeast of the Saguenay River on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River."

Scandinavia to me = those 5 countries you list, Ibby, and also the Faroe Islands, if one considers them a distinct nation, as some do, as well as any regional Norwegian islands like the Spitbergens, but not Norway's South Atlantic holdings (which don't apply here anyway).
To the best of my knowledge, the country I am in is the only one you guys have not touched upon or even doubled up on (as Ibby's 2004 EU question and some of Chaim's guesses do).

CMK, are you in Eurasia?
I fiend Liechtenstein and the other microstates (Andorra, San Marino etc.) quite fascinating. They're tiny, but they've managed to hold on to their own identities - and size doesn't mean there's not much to explore!
How was Schaan? I hear Liechtenstein has great hiking and scenery, and a couple of nice castles.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
It was a rather rainy, dreary Saturday morning. I got off the bus there (instead of Vaduz) by mistake.
While waiting for the next bus, the rain got heavier, so I took the next bus back to Austria. My exciting visit to Liechtenstein!
It looked nice, from what I saw.
