I'm sure we recycled more place names from Britain and Ireland than from anywhere else, but Birmingham, AL is probably the most successful example, so naturally I think of it rather than the English city when I hear the name.


We think it is cute you can't come up with many of your own place names. Bless:)
;)

I can remember someone posting to say were in Jersey caused confusion here, as several Americans asked how long they were in the US for:P

I have no recollection of such a thread; are you sure you didn't dream it? :whistle:
I'm not sure it won't backfire as a marketing tool; I only played it three times (finally getting close to 25k) because once it starts recycling locations the game gets to be more like Concentration than Risk.

I'm guessing the fact that it has been posted here and you have played it three times means it is doing rather well as a marketing tool. It would only have failed if no one heard of it. Like the Quantas version

Never noticed before, but that may be the only English word in which "q" isn't followed by "u. " Wikipedia claims it was originally an acronym. But I played it three times to test a theory now confirmed: I'm pretty much getting 26k give or take a view every time. That may be skewed a bit by how much it likes to hit me with Copenhagen and the fact I spent about an hour staring at a very good map of it while departing. We won't discuss how close to Oslo I can put the plane....

I suspect that scores approach 28k as plays approach infinity (assuming I correctly recall how many cities are in each round. )

The game's broken; Birmingham's not on the map (it doesn't go farther west than FL. ) - 07/09/2010 01:18:09 PM 595 Views
Probably just an advertizing thing - to show people all the cities they fly to from the US. *NM* - 07/09/2010 06:02:07 PM 433 Views
