Rossiya started it, and I am starting the second installment of this game. Rossiya can explain the rules:

In this thread you have to guess what the city is from a picture posted by somebody (usually the winner on the previous picture)

Rules

1. The picture you post has to be on a city or very large, famous town.
2. The picture has to contain something from the city that makes it recognisable.
3. The cities should be at least known in the country.
4. Wait until the previous poster has stated that your guess is correct, then you can post a picture of a city.
5. If the picture poster takes as long as 2 days saying whether anybody was correct, it is invalid, and another poster gives another picture of a city.

Googling and other searching is allowed.

I will start:

Cairo? Casablanca?

Edit: Never mind, just took a closer look at those people's faces. :p

Was a second thread really necessary? Forum Games is becoming OTised.

My guess: Rome

Phnom Phen? Bangkok?

I think that we need a new pic, this one does not appear to have anything recognisable..

it looks like a street market that is very popular with tourists, that's recognizable

it looks like a street market that is very popular with tourists, that's recognizable

There are a 1001 towns that have street markets that are very popular with tourists.

The people look Asian, at least to me.

The people look Asian, at least to me.

Doesn't mean the city is Asian.

Bangalore? Karachi?

Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This looks familiar.

People already guessed Bangkok and Chiang Mai, so I think I'll go with Ayutthaya.

All are wrong.

Phuket? Penang?

Cairo? Casablanca?

Edit: Never mind, just took a closer look at those people's faces. :p

I guess you haven't seen many north africans in your life, right?

BTW from the face and the clothes i think Mexico City

From the walls and the faces I think it's somewhere in South East Asia.

From the walls and the faces I think it's somewhere in South East Asia.

Thai town in france? :lol:

Los Angles? The sun looks familiar...

Still wrong.

And it is in Southeast Asia.

Singapore?

Vientiane?

Saigon(Ho Chi Mihn city)? Hanoi?

I guess you haven't seen many north africans in your life, right?

I guess you have no idea what the last line in my post meant! :lol:

(FYI I've been to North Africa)

Still wrong. One answer was close.

Songkhla? Hat Yai?

Nope. Backing up.

Hint: It was a part of French Indochina.

Hue? Da Nang?

Still wrong.

Siem Raep? Luang Prabang?

About time someone guessed Luang Prabang.

You know what this means.

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/7915/guessdacityar3.jpg

After three guesses I'll post a clue.

Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast

Bah! Too easy! :p

Your go now.

I'll stay with the church theme:

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9785/guesszb1.jpg

Looks Mediterannean.

Toledo?

Saragoza? Barcellona?

Ceuta? Melilla?

All wrong, but in the right country.

Seville? Madrid?

Valencia? Malaga?

Cartagena? Palma?

Palma

Sidon? Byblos?

wrong

But it was a crusade city

Tyre? Acre?

We have a winner :goodjob:

The Black stuff at the bottom center was added there by me to cover a watermark with the city's name in it.

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/7678/guesscity5sl1.png

Karachi???

How did you know?

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff268/d_artagnan59/quiz6.jpg

Sofia, Bulgaria? Looks a bit like a smaller version of the Alexander Nevski cathedral...

Am I at least in the right country?

Edit: Actually, it looks a lot like a smaller version of it, almost like a copy... But then again it's part of a style, so I could be even in the wrong country here.

Greece? Athens?

Nobody is in the right country.

Moscow?
Sankt Petersburg?

Vladivostok????? :p

Correct country, but still wrong.

Volgograd?
Nizhny-Novgorod?
Rostov-na-Donu? (Rostov-on-Don)

I know. Still incorrect.

And it is dedicated to Alexander Nevski.

Arkhangel? Kazan?

Nope.

Need another pic?

Novgorod? Pereslavl?

Still no correct answers. Not many close ones, even.

Novosibirsk? Yekaterinburg?

Petrozavodsk?

Novosibirsk it is.

It is NOT in Europe.

South Africa? Pretoria? Johannesburg?

No, no and no.

Canada? Montreal? Toronto?

Usa? Boston? Philadelphia?

Canberra? Sydney?

Well I would say Australia is in Asia but a lot of people would disagree. :p

No and no.

RGG (Random Guess Generator):

Singapore? Imphal? :p

No and no.

By the way, this city is on an island.

Hong Kong? Phuket?

No and no.

Think bigger islands.

From the trees, i guess it's in a temperate zone. Maybe Japan? Hiroshima? Nagazaki?

If its on an island and it looks like theres a church there dominating the central plaza, I'd have to guess its in the Philippines. The problem is I don't recall any provincial city that has that kind of climate or vegetation or is even that clean.

Baguio City? Cebu City?

Haikou????

One person has the right country...


But not the right city though. Try again. :D

Kyoto? Nagoya?

Manila? Makati?

Sapporo? Quezon City?

Manila? Makati?

We have a winner!!!

The building is the Manila Cathedral.

You are up! :)

What?! I don't recall Manila being that clean and green

Anyways...

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa317/iwashuman/pix_00.jpg
(old picture)

easy enough.

Well, obviously, it's in a desert.

Santa Fe? El Paso?

Nope.

The picture is 17 years old, A LOT has changed since then

Dubai? Addis Ababa?

That age probably means I'm on the wrong continent.

Riyadh? Amman?

Catharsis has it, it is Dubai. (Ever seen the Sim City Dubai powerpoint ?)

Catharsis has it, it is Dubai. (Ever seen the Sim City Dubai powerpoint ?)

Yep, Dubai it is

Here's the before and after shot

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa317/iwashuman/pic_194305001189101810.jpg

:eek:

The tall buildings in the original picture look puny by comparison in the second picture...

It's not Dubrovnik this time:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=185113&d=1218136837

One of the former soviet republics ? Ends in -stan ?

Almaty? Bishkek?

No to all of those questions.

Belgrade? Sofia?

'Fraid not. Right continent, though.

Varna? Constanta?

Budapest ?

Nope, none of those.

Warsaw? Bratislava?

Nope.

Notice that there's a CCTV camera on top of one of the lamp-posts. That should give you a clue as to what country it is.

London? 910

Not London, but you've got the right country.

Birmingham? Glasgow?

Edinburgh? York?

None of those, I'm afraid.

Liverpool? Belfast?

Liverpool?

Correct! Your go.

Might be a bit too easy this one...

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m51/Grenadier_539/GuessTheCity.jpg

No takers? :p

Here's a clue: The city once had a sizable Russian population.

Chernobyl? :p

Any better pic? This only has one building so it is pretty much impossible to tell where it is if one has not seen it.

Kiev, Tbilisi?

Any better pic? This only has one building so it is pretty much impossible to tell where it is if one has not seen it.

Actually, the one building is what the city is famous for. Or rather, a collection of buildings like that one...

Not Kiev, not Chernobyl, not Tbilisi.

You asked for another picture. Here it is, same city.

http://www.weirdomatic.com/wp-content/pictures/2007/01/250641449_c6a365fe8d.jpg

So, the city looks like a red x?

Here's another extra clue then.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m51/Grenadier_539/GuessExtraClue.jpg

Same city as the other picture. Should be quite easy now...

I see Chinese letters.

No, I still don't know what it is. :p

They are Chinese letters.

Come on guys :)

Dalian, right on the border

Or Harbin

Lushun????

Port Arthur or whatever the hell it's stupid Chinese name is.

Dalian, right on the border

Or Harbin

The picture is from Harbin's annual Ice Festival. The ice buildings are lit up at night.

Your go. :)

I love this place because there's a bloody massive cone. There is also a little police station thing to the left outside the photograph. I stole the Police sign one night. It sits in my room.

Neither of the two, no. ;)

New Plymouth? Gisborne?

If i remember well, rule 5 of this game, let me post a photo of a new city.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9540/450pxgrotekerkrc7.jpg

Good to see this thread still going.

Northern Europe, right ?
Easy guess : Amsterdam.

Wrong and worng.

Leiden, the Netherlands.

right country, but still wrong.

Middelburg? Arnhem?

Utrecht? Haarlem?

Still all wrong.

Groningen? Hague?

No and No.

Eindhoven? Zwolle?

Nijmegen?

That's the only Netherlands city I know that hasn't been mentioned.

Guys why don't you use Google to search "Dutch Dj" instead of trying ad infinitum?

Breda

Finally someone followed my tip. It's your turn. :goodjob:

Anyone can post a new pic :)

Hello all, my name is Anyone :

By Izipo (http://profile.imageshack.us/user/Izipo)

Could be easy, or not... I'll provide hints as time goes by.
PS : Don't cheat and use the link in the pic ! I know I'm guilty of being lazy for leaving it in the first place, but still, cheating is bad for you ;).

Los Angeles? Phoenix?

Las Vegas? San Antonio?

Colorado Springs?

Aberqueque?

Aberqueque?


:confused::confused::confused:

Perhaps you mean Albuquerque?

Choxorn has it.

It was Las Vegas, from a lesser known perspective.

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/5299/guesscity6mo6.png

Abu Dhabi? Hong Kong?

Well, you're on the right continent, but neither is correct.

Guangzhou? Taipei?

Not in China, or Taiwan.

Dubai?????

Closer, but no.

Kuwait City?

Riyadh? Jiddah?

Doha? Masqat?

Kuwait City?

You got it. :goodjob:

Here's the next one.

Is it in North America?

It seems to me islamic.Ankara? Baku?

Is it in North America?

It is in North America.

Wilmington, DE?

Dallas? Menphis?

All wrong. Think capital cities.

Ottawa? Washington DC?

Seattle? Helena?

Ottawa? Washington DC?

Too far east.

Seattle? Helena?

Too far west.

Omaha, Nebraska?

Seattle and Omaha aren't even capitals. :p

I guess Jefferson City or Austin.

Indianapolis? Springfield?

Lansing? Topeka?

Nope.

Omaha, Nebraska?

Close.

Lincoln???

Saint Paul? Jefferson City?

Lincoln???

:yup: Winner!

There are at least 20 cities named Lincoln. The dude should specify which one.

Also, I don't like it how "capital cities" was given as a clue. Everybody outside America was thinking of capitals of actual countries, rather than counties, townships etc..

My 2 cents but I think he means Lincoln, Nebraska:

Also found the pic on the net:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Lincoln_ne_skyline.JPG

Capital city is more than just national--could be a state capital or a provincial capital. Though, for future purposes, clarification as to which would be helpful, I agree. The pictured city is Lincoln, Nebraska, and AFAIK, Lincoln, NE is the only Lincoln that fits as a capital. Choxorn is the winner, unless that was not Choxorn's intended guess. If not, then it goes to Arian.

Yes, I did mean Lincloln, Nebraska, and was unaware of the existance of another Lincoln.

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6228/guesscity7zr0.png

Is it Honolulu, Hawaii??

That's the natural harbour at Rio di Janeiro.

Rio it is. :goodjob:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=189476&stc=1&d=1222189895

Looks like a mosque.

London?

It is a mosque. Not London, though.

Is it the Al-Hadgikideh mosque in Lyon, France???

Sorry, it is not.

Alexandria? Amman?

No.

Here's a clue: tailless got the country right.

York? Birmingham?

After your hint, searching was a lot easier!
It's the Glasgow Central Mosque. See here:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Wfm_glasgow_central_mosque_side.jpg

After your hint, searching was a lot easier!

It is indeed Glasgow! Hoots mon.

OK. Guess this one (I hope this one was't done before, cause I only found this thread recently and didn't check them all :p)

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4443/citybi7.jpg

Canberra ?

Nope, not Canberra.

Sydney? Auckland?

Nope. Nope. But on the right side of the equator though...

Buenos Aires?

Buenos Aires?

Right. I guess I gave it away too easy.
You're next...

:bump:

@choxorn: your turn!

Whoops, forgot about this. :lol:

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5816/guesscity8hu5.png

Too far north.

No, and not funny. :p

Cincinnati? Milwaukee?

Indiana? Louisville?

A big pile of no.

Columbus? Nashville?

Salem? Bismark?

Hint: West of the Mississippi River, although not very far west.

Jesus Christ, read the Friggin' image URL.

St. Louis, Missouri?

Arian has it, although Perfection cheated.

And I didn't yet even notice he used the pic's actual name instead of the name I used that hid the city's name. :lol:

And now for something completely different:

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/910/city2fa1.jpg

How the hell did I cheat?

How the hell did I cheat?

I don't know, but if you want you can have it and I'll PM the city to you.

Taipei?

Looks like an RoC flag. Could be Myanmar's though.

No. (10 chars)

Alright then, Yangon/Rangoon.

Right! Your turn!

BTW How did you find that out so incredibly fast? The flag?

The flag?

I believed it was a russian flag. :eek:

It was the flag. Red base and blue canton, so either Myanmar or Republic of China.

New city! Hint: same continent.
