WTF - Landmarks

tusk

Sign ups closed

Guys, I am super bored.

So I tried to come up with a new game.

What I've come up with is called WTF.

Basically I'm gonna post a bunch of acronyms (this game's topic is landmarks) and you've gotta PM me your answers. Whoever scores the most corrects wins!

Simples, but it will keep me entertained if people enter.

There will be no 'The' attached to the acronyms if it's at the start. For example, GWOC instead of TGWOC would be used for the great Wall of China. Landmarks can include natural and man-made. Hope that makes sense.

I'll also give the continent each is on as a little clue.

Here we go...

1. GGB - North America
2. MR - North America
3. AR - Australasia
4. SOL - North America
5. ADT - Europe
6. BB - Europe
7. MP - South America
8. GPOG - Africa
9. AW - Asia
10. PT - Asia

Sign ups close Sunday night.

There may be a tie breaker, if there are people on the same score

I can tell you there are more than 2 people in pole position currently, so unless a miracle happens, there will be a tie-breaker in the reveal thread!

How lenient are you on spelling tusk? I've just noticed 2 spelling mistakes, but I don't want to send you a fourth entry!

tusk

I'm too lenient...

Inaugural games get away with murder :P

That's what I like to hear! Cheers Tusk!

don't see why you'd need to be strict on spelling in a find a item by initials game like this, if its funnetikali korekt, then you have identified the landmark from the initials, which is the aim of the game.

If that's the level of your landmarks, I've gone WAY too simple.

Choc Chip

Oh Sk. I just re-read your comment and I think I need to go and drink more coffee.

Change of plan...
