Is Farren likely to know enough about Euro geography to be thinking about geographic proximity? I mean he may do but unless he’s a geog nerd like me I wouldn’t expect him to necessarily

As in: I would expect Americans to maybe know where a couple of major countries are in the same way I’d expect brits to know Cali west, NY east, but I wouldn’t expect the average Brit to have any idea where Idaho is

Damn guys I really wanna drop a HIMALAYAS while I’m on this hot streak but I guess I’ll wait for some feedback

(NB: 1 correct guess is still a hot streak)

I think they’re both pretty equally likely in a general sense of Swiss —> Mountains —> Himalayas or Swiss —> Europe —> Czech
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Swiss Army LIFE


I'm alright with Himalayas, I think. I'm also alright with Czech, since they're both nationality descriptors (the hint was Swiss and not Switzerland). If you feel strong about Himalayas, that's fine - I don't feel strongly about any alternatives.

I'm kinda cold about HIMALAYAS. The mountain range in Switzerland is the Alps, not the Himalayas, so while I'm not entirely against it if we have no other good leads I want to see if there are any other obvious connections.

roughly 3-4 hours to deadline. Do we want to guess one of those two, or do we want to pass?

I am mildly leaning more towards Czech than I am towards Himalayas.

Sorry if it's wrong, but it's late, I'm feeling impulsive, and it sounds like most people are at least ok-ish with this.

I think we are going to lose if we pass, so let’s guess.

How about Himalayas?

I know googling is against the rules but if the opposing team would possibly make an exception - especially since it seems to be mostly just Charles and me and neither of understand the clue?

That or Atlantis if neither Bulge - should he manage to grace us with his presence or Hockeyfan has no clue what that word means either?
