Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Know Your Legion Worlders Game - Round SEVEN!

1) Crisis on Infinite Earths 7 (death of Supergirl)
2) Legion Lost 11 (death of Monstress)

Not the correct combination.

I don't know why, I was horrified at Supergirl's death, but didn't quite cry. First time I read COIE I was not all that familiar with her yet. I did feel bad though.

Successive readings tugged at my heartstrings more, but I don't quite remember crying.

Hint time: the answer is more obvious than you might think.

2) Legion Lost 11 (death of Monstress)
9) Legion Lost 12 (death of Live Wire)

Correct! Legion Lost was quite the whammy for me. I never cried for other Legionnaire deaths like Lightning Lad or Leviathan or Karate Kid. But the emotional buildup of Legion Lost was too much.

Over to you Xben

I find that story packed the punch as well, although I don't think I cried (I did when Supergirl died, more for how it was done rather than because of real attachment to the character).

OK, where am I right now?
a. At home
b. In a cafe, having a cup of coffee
c. In a bookstore, which also has a cafe in it
d. At a hotel
e. At an airport
f. At a convention centre
g. At a library
h. At a friend's house
i. At my wife's university
j. At my workplace
k. At church (which also has a cafe in it)
l. Waiting for a bus, using up my phone's data limits

Obviously, the answer will stay the same even if I'm not in this place anymore when it's guessed

Supergirl's death was very well done indeed. I'm actually surprised that I don't remember having cried reading it.

e. At an airport

Well, you got it right off the bat, IB. I was in the Brisbane airport, waiting for my flight to Townsville. Now I'm sitting in a hotel lobby in Townsville, waiting for my room to be ready.

Lucky guess, I thought "home" was too obvious and airport seemed the most likely choice given the hour at which you posted.

Have a pleasant trip Xben!

I recently read a couple of articles (from different authors) on hardest/most difficult countries to enter. These countries have tough visa policies (though as a Philippine passport holder, even entering the USA or European Union is tough for me!), may be dangerous, and are fairly hard to reach via conventional travel methods.

Which 2 of these countries would I definitely like to visit?

a) Libya
b) Nauru
c) Somalia
d) Afghanistan
e) Russia
f) Uzbekistan
g) Sudan
h) Eritrea
i) Equatorial Guinea
j) Kiribati
k) Chad
l) Saudi Arabia

Here are the 2 articles:

As a hint, these countries were also listed and I am definite I want to visit them: Bhutan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan.

d) Afghanistan
f) Uzbekistan

One of them is right! I do want Uzbekistan for the amazing ancient Silk Road cities. Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva... sigh. I get shivers.

f) Uzbekistan
l) Saudi Arabia

Not Saudi. I am not particularly interested in seeing Mecca and I visited the desert in Dubai already.

f) Uzbekistan
j) Kiribati

While Kiribati is supposed to have some nice beaches and has one of the largest marine protected areas in the world (The Phoenix Islands have UNESCO Heritage status!), we also have a lot of nice beaches in the Philippines. So beaches are not a major travel draw for me.

b) Nauru
f) Uzbekistan

Not Nauru, which some have described as the most boring country in the world. It is an island but does not have nice beaches and can be driven around in an hour

f) Uzbekistan
g) Sudan

Not Sudan. It has pyramids and the Sahara, both of which I can see in safer countries like Egypt.

a) Libya
f) Uzbekistan

Not Libya. It's a bit too dangerous for me, even though it does contain some beautiful Roman ruins I can see those elsewhere.

I have almost forgotten the second correct answer!

Almost...

Does IB even remember the answer three years later?

Chad?

what a pleasant surprise, seeing this thread bumped up!

unfortunately, the second country wasn’t Chad. Chad has some nice lakes and contains part of the Sahara, but I’d much rather see Mali (with Timbuktu or the Bandiagara Escarpment) or Niger (and its ancient trading cities) than Chad

Oh I misread the question! haha I thought it was just "hardest countries to enter" and not "ones that you also wanted to visit".

Ummm Russia is a big enough country that surely there's something in there you want to see!
