Alphabet Sheep - World Cities

    Cities.jpg

    A-Z cities, excluding Ireland and the UK

    You know the drill!
    If you don't... for each letter of the alphabet try to pick the most popular answer. You score a point for everyone who gives the same answer as you

    A quick one. Reveal at 9pm next Thursday. Answers to me by PM before 5pm that day please

    Nice and simple, no traps. But there are 10,000 possible answers :D

    Edit: just to clarify, you may google if you wish, but I don't think you need to (apart from X maybe). The definition of a city doesn't matter, there's no such thing as a wrong answer in sheep, if people agree with you, you score points. Except for Irish or British cities, they'll score zero

    My tactic is to not think about & hope for another fluke :pac:

    Did all mine off the top of my head quick fire style just as a personal challenge to myself, so quite interested in this. I did use google to get X names cities though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,396 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Folks, remember, this is excluding Ireland and the UK!

    Couple of slipups already, I've PM'd the offenders but later in the week I may not have time to check everyone's entries

    The key question is will you beat Necro's total of 40 contestants (which included him - so 39, if you like!) for his Alphabet Trapper Files??

    Ah, that doesn't matter, there's no competition bergen me and Necro, just happy to have a few people on board.

    I thought Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway and London would have been monster sheep otherwise. Probably true for Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester too

    Alot of cities begin with M and L and B for some reason.

    Did mine sans internet so hopefully didn't make too much of a mess. I was nearly putting in Quirm* for Q until I thought of a real city :pac:
