    So, we did the flags, how well do you know your world capital cities?

    PEEHS is like a game of Pointless. We're looking for the least popular answer here. The winner will be the player with the fewest points at the end. Your score each round will be the number of people who match your answer.

    Incorrect answers will score 1.5 times the most popular answer.

    Google or other research is not allowed.

    Please PM me your answers. Do not post your answers on the thread. No need to number your answers, or say which country you're answering for. Just a list of 15 different answers, one per round, will suffice.

    It is the official or de jure capital required. A few of the more disputed capital cities have been excluded to avoid controversy.

    Spellings do not need to be 100%. If I can figure out what name you're trying to go for, you'll get the point.

    We have 15 rounds. Reveal date tba, depending on number of entrires received.

    Here we go:

    Hahahahaha!!!
    I have given up trying to figure out Peehs beakerjoe. A complete minefield.
    I knew a couple of (what I would consider) obscure ones, the rest I think will be middle of the rod, not peehs but not sheep either.

    The biggest difficulty I had was that I have learned these capitals in Greek decades ago, so I am translating in English based on the Greek pronuncation. I'm bound to have some incorrect, hopefully they will be close enough to the correct ones so I donlt get punished :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Go with your gut.....its the only way to go with Sheep, Peehs, Heeps...etc.

    My biggest issue is spelling, thankfully QB doenst mind too much.

    Doesn't help when capitals are renamed or move either!

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭Purgative


    In. I thought it sounded fun until I read the questions.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,117 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Never done one of these before, but I'm in. I'm sure ye've all worked out the best ratio of obscure-to-obvious answers for this, but I've gone and waded right in there, so I'm going to bomb this I'm sure :p

    Just settling down to do an entry for this - and I suspect this will be my problem as well!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    I'm in! Lots of dodgy ones I'm not sure the official capital of these days... hopefully I got 15 right answers, after that come what may :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,286 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    The only thing we can be sure of when trying to work out what everyone else will do is that somebody will answer Cork for the Irish one.

    For which the penalty should be 5 times the sheep.

    Well, I kept it to 15 rounds x 8 countries, so 120 in total. Technically there could be another 9 rounds added, or done in a separate game......

    Ah feck off!

    Correctly identifying capital cities is a strong subject for me.
    Choosing good PEEHS answers, however, is a far more difficult prospect.
