Somehow Maptap lost all my stats/achievements and reset me back to the tutorial. Did this happen to anyone else using the web version? To make it worse I no longer can hold to tap and I accidentally mistapped the last one into Russia, not China (Not that I knew where the city was…but I do know where China is).

That's very unfortunate. I'm on the web version and it hasn't erased my data yet.

So, like everyone else, I didn't know that whatever the South Georgia territory one was had nothing to do with the Georgia that's by Russia.

I knew it would be some random island but still didn't come within 1000 miles.

I figured it was some cool little place in another Sea next to the County of that name that I had no idea UK still had.

I will add that I really should figure out the locations of Belgium, The Netherlands, and all of the subparts of former Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

Three things:
1. I thought I was going to be closer on the Edmonton one - Canada is a big place.
2. They almost got me with the France one, until I saw the Martinique part.
3. Everything I know about Irkutsk and Yakutsk is from playing Risk.

Irkutsk - GFY. Had to go with a central Eastern Siberian vibe like an outpost in the region to Vladivostok. Nobody likes you Irkmanistan.

Alas, had I watched Narcos, I could have made the leaderboard. I'm kicking myself because I had a strong hunch it was not on the coast but I picked a city further north anyway.

Medellin is a good city for MapTap to select because it has such notoriety and people “generally” know where it is. But it’s very much located in the middle of nowhere in that region. Like asking for Manaus or Brasilia. That’ll get a bunch of smart geography people. Not that they are wrong, it’s just geographically hard to pinpoint.

WTF!!! @jaxhawk has a 10 point deduction and mine 9 but we get the same score?

Bonus points for 100? I’m claiming MapTap is thumb biased.

Round 3 is a 2x multiplier and round 4 and 5 is a 3x multiplier (I think)

I have you both with 20 points of deduction:

• -4 + -1 + 0 + 0 + -15 = -20
• -1 + -1 + -6 + -3 + -9 = -20
