Keep it going, you'll get there.

little_tippler 05-29-2008 03:56 AM

Andros Island, Congo Town?

pig 05-29-2008 04:03 AM

This is the part of TFP where we guess the islands. so i'm not technically in the "Bahamas" although I think most people would consider it to be the Islands, or towards the Bahammas. Tully was the closest with the Dominican Republic.

Check out post #100.

SSJTWIZTA 05-29-2008 07:22 AM

HA, I skimmed right over that one. whoops!

Leto 05-29-2008 07:56 AM

is the primary language of this island Dutch?

BadNick 05-29-2008 09:31 AM

well we're close so if we keep guessing the process of elimination will get us there

so I'll say Turks & Caicos Islands?

pig 05-29-2008 03:16 PM

tully's haiti is the closest of the recent, but i think the dominican republic is closer...:)

SSJTWIZTA 05-29-2008 03:50 PM

the whole island of hispaniola?

pig 05-29-2008 03:55 PM

Hispaniola? You crazy Treasure Island reading bastard...nope...but you're close....

uncle phil 05-29-2008 04:05 PM

st. pierre et miquelon?

Jetée 05-29-2008 04:35 PM

Puerto Rico?

pig 05-29-2008 04:39 PM

jetee: give me a city, any city :) do i need a city? you sir have chosen the correct island ;)

Jetée 05-29-2008 05:29 PM

Thank you, pig but I do not know one city in Puerto Rico. I'll guess ... still nothing. It'd be a shame if someone else swooped in with a real city in Puerto Rico, so I'll wrap this up with a quick google search and: Aguadilla

Alright, I'll give my globe a quick spin, (I need to update my version of Google Earth) stick out my finger, and point-stop on a locale.

Where in the world is Jetty?

SSJTWIZTA 05-29-2008 08:17 PM

SSJTWIZTA 05-30-2008 12:10 PM

is the native language English?

pig 05-30-2008 02:17 PM

Does the country border the Mediterranean?

BadNick 05-30-2008 05:28 PM

Monoco? ...anyway, I'd like to be there.

Leto 05-30-2008 05:59 PM

North America?

Jetée 05-30-2008 09:09 PM

SSJTWIZTA: no

BadNick: no

Prague, Czech Republic {Charles' Bridge}

Wow! I really must go.

Ok, where in the hell... err, world am I?

BadNick 06-01-2008 07:51 PM

Prague is beautiful and fun, and they have great beer.


OK ...are you in the Western Hemisphere?

Tully Mars 06-01-2008 07:54 PM

Yes, I am.

BadNick 06-01-2008 08:05 PM

OK...are you in the Northern Hemisphere part of it?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 04:08 AM

North Hem, check.

little_tippler 06-02-2008 04:16 AM

Mexico?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 04:17 AM

No, not in Mexico

pig 06-02-2008 04:26 AM

Oh Canada?

uncle phil 06-02-2008 04:31 AM

U. S.?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 04:35 AM

Oh Canada? Oh no.

US? Nope.

Mais leste, Uncle Phil

pig 06-02-2008 08:53 AM

Columbia?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 09:09 AM

Go east young man, go east.

Leto 06-02-2008 10:06 AM

easter island

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 10:38 AM

No, that would be west of Columbia.

BadNick 06-02-2008 10:43 AM

Brazil?


...you aren't one of those "here-to-fore-undiscovered-by-stupid-come-lately-white-people" amazon natives that were shooting arrows at the recon airplane last week, are you?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 10:56 AM

Nope, the country I'm in is entirely within both the northern and western hemispheres.

But I like the sound of throwing arrows at tourists.

I'll throw Suriname out there in case you're not following in Jim Jones' footsteps.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 11:27 AM

Not in South America.

Leto 06-02-2008 11:43 AM

ok... Bermuda?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 11:51 AM

Not an island.

little_tippler 06-02-2008 03:07 PM

So if it's not an island...and it's in the Northern and Western Hemispheres....and it's also not in South America or North America...Greenland? That's like a big island... heh.

I'm stumped.

uncle phil 06-02-2008 03:57 PM

ok, northern hemi...western hemi...not north...not south...not central...not an island...i'm stymied...

Hmm, lets see. West of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich) and North of the Equator, yet not in North or South America and not an island.

Let's just say I find it ironic you can't clearly see this location.

BadNick 06-02-2008 04:36 PM

You also said it's not Central America or S. America or U.S. or Canada or Mexico, and not an island. I think that pretty much eliminates everything I can think of.

How about under the Atlantic Ocean?

uncle phil 06-02-2008 04:41 PM

way down...
below the ocean...
where, i wanna be...

the lost continent of atlantis...

Olhe com cuidado.

uncle phil 06-02-2008 04:46 PM

a HA!!!

europe?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 04:48 PM

Yep! You're on the right track Uncle Phil.

BadNick 06-02-2008 05:04 PM

ahh, you confounded my normal western hemisphere perceptions.

I'll go with Portugal

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 05:12 PM

We have a winner.

I seriously figured when Brazil was eliminated and I posted "mais leste." It pretty much left one country. Then after posting I found it "ironic" that LT couldn't "clearly see this location." I thought I couldn't make it any clearer, so I posted a map.

Yer up. Mr. Bad.

BadNick 06-02-2008 05:52 PM

OK. Where in the world am I? clue: I don't see Waldo here.

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:26 PM

no, not the w.h.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 06:28 PM

Do you speak Japanese?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:40 PM

No I don't, but I own three Japanese cars...but what does that have to do with where I am? ;)

another clue since it relates to do with your question: while I am sure the residents there don't speak Japanese, the Japanese language has a connection to this place

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 06:45 PM

Hawaii?

Edit: Gez! now I'm doing it. Hawaii's in the WH which you stated you're not.

Philippines?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:57 PM

as you said, not Hawaii. Also not the Philippines.


edit: bed time for bonzo. So throw out some guesses and I'll address them in the morning, eastern time morning that is, western and northern hemisphere, in the U.S., PA, near Philadelphia.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 07:49 PM

Korea?

BadNick 06-03-2008 04:17 AM

no, not Korea. Here's another clue: not China.

I hope you worldly travellers don't loose patience, but I'll be offline until after lunchtime today ...Eastern U.S. time.

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 05:23 AM

Hmm, island?

BadNick 06-03-2008 09:19 AM

not an island. Do I have to hand you this on a plate, or what?

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 09:31 AM

Guess so, your clues are flying past me. I thought I was spoon feeding Lisbon too.

Waldo unseen.
Japanese has something to do with it.
North Eastern Hem.
Not an Island.

Shot in the dark...

Myanmar (Burma)

BadNick 06-03-2008 09:33 AM

and the drum roll................................................not Myanmar :(

when I said "plate" that was a clue

Leto 06-03-2008 09:42 AM

Well, plates can be made out of china, but you said not China. It's not an island. Thai food is popular, and it can be handed to you on a plate. So... I'll go with Thailand.

* although, I don't know how the waldo or Japanese references fit in. Except during WWII, Japan had conquered the area.

BadNick 06-03-2008 10:05 AM

dear Leto, your circuitous logic is interesting, but wrong. Not Thailand.

Think plates.....wet plates

Leto 06-03-2008 10:23 AM

hmmm....plates... plate techtonics.... underwater earthquake zone.... ergo wet plates.... pacific rim of fire... could be any unmentioned country along that seismically active zone... Russia. I'm thinking the Kamchatka peninsula

uncle phil 06-03-2008 10:24 AM

mongolia...

I like that logic, but Waldo and Japanese seem missing to me. Though I know jack shit about "Kamchatka."

I'm stumped.

Leto 06-03-2008 12:07 PM

weren't waldos a type of munition in WWII? and getting back to the Japanese, weren't they all over that area in the 1930's & '40's? conquering Korea, Manchuria, Sakhalin Islands (near Kamchatka)

aggghhh... Ok I give.

BadNick 06-03-2008 12:36 PM

forget about the "waldo" thing. I just threw that out there without any thought whatsoever. The plate tectonics idea is right on the money. Think about that concept in that area and you can get figure it out. Nudder clue: think plate tectonics under water...get it = wet plates.

uncle phil 06-03-2008 12:44 PM

guam?

Leto 06-03-2008 12:48 PM

tibet?

Not tibet. that's not underwater.


Wait a minute... maybe you aren't on dryland. Maybeyou are under water. Therefore not on an island.... How about the Marianas Trench?

(that would make Phil's Guam guess fairly close, except it's an island)

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 12:55 PM

Guam's an island.

Tibet, lot's of high ground pushed up by plates.

What about Kathmandu?

uncle phil 06-03-2008 01:13 PM
