Here is how the game works:

Someone names a city, state, province, nation, continent, island, or land feature (desert, lake, ocean, sea, river, etc.) (aka geographic feature) ON EARTH!

Someone then names another geographic feature that starts with the same letter that the previous geographic feature ended with.

Example

Atlanta

Achorage

Ecuador

Romania

I'll start.

Rome

(I suggest a rule amendment. As there are so many names ending with the same letter as they begin I suggest that the same letter may not be at the beginning and the end of a word in more than two successive posts).

Nevis - One of the islands of the Lesser Antilles.

I certainly didn't mean to belittle Naples in any way and I am aware of its ancient routes. Sometimes I am a little uncertain about when to use the term "town" and when to use the term "city". I heard the two terms used on the same places and sometimes I heard rather large and famous places being referred to as "town". Thank you for correcting blunders on my part :)

I suggest that we do this only if it is really necessary. Everyone knows the Mississippi or the Nile to be rivers for example. The obligation to use that word all the time would seriously cut down our possibilities not to get the same letters all the time. We have so many "A"s already that I wouldn't insists on the sea behind the Baltic.

Northumbria, earlier name of Great Britain
Not quite, it was one of several kingdoms covering a large part of what is today the English midlands, the northern region around the river Humber (hence the name) including modern day Yorkshire and Cumbria, and a part that today belongs to Scotland. There is a modern county (the north-eastern most) of the name too, but it is much smaller than that kingdom used to be. Excuse the little lesson, the historian just couldn't shut up ;)

Sussex - Another petty kingdom in Great Britain which today has been reduced to a county on England's southern coast.

^ No nuclear weapons involved either, but still a war between the US and Great Britain erupting in 1859 would have probably "messed up" history as we got to know it beyond all recognition  ;)
The British sent 5 warships with more than a thousand soldiers into the region. The US sent the 9th infantry led by George Edward Pickett (the same one who became associated with "Pickett's charge during the battle of Gettysburg four years later). Both sides tried to taunt the other into opening fire but neither complied. At last the British admiral suggested that it was kind of silly to start a war about a killed pig and everyone agreed.
The debate about the ownership of the island continued into the 1870s though when Germany was chosen as an unbiased judge on the matter. The verdict of the Germans was very much in favor of the US who got all of the disputed islands. [history lecture mode off]

Stabiae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabiae) - Ancient Roman town near modern day Naples. Of the three towns destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius 79AD (the other two being Pompeii and Herculaneum) this is the one that gets the least attention.

I have a suggestion for this game in order to make it a little more than a "rise the postcount" kind of game (similar to word connection / association). My suggestion is that for every place posted here the poster should also provide one trivia fact (if none are known Wikipedia is suitable to look them up). It would make the game more "educational" ;)
What do you think?

Ardennes - A region of forest, hills, and mountains in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the northeast of France which has gained tragic fame as one of Europe's main battle grounds, the Romans and Franks already fought battles in this region in their respective times and more battles between most of the major powers of European history took place there in the 17th to 19th century. In WW1 the region saw bloodshed again. For some reason it was still considered impossible terrain for an enemy attack in 1940 until said attack came :confused
Finally the battle of the Bulge also took place in that region.

^ Aye, also the site where the highest ranking general to be killed in action on the southern side during the Civil war fell (many mistake Stonewall Jackson for the one, but it was Albert Sidney Johnson).

Harrisburg - capital of Pennsylvania. In much of the world the name Harrisburg is associated with the worst nuclear accident in American history (which still went of lightly compared to what could have happened). I remember that when on 9/11 a plane over Pennsylvania was first mentioned I really went like "Please, please, don't let the nuclear power plant in Harrisburg be the next target!"
By the way, there was another accident there last November which again didn't turn out as bad as it could have and did not compare to the case in 1979, but still it is kind of disturbing.

Waterloo, site of the very famous battle in which Napoleon was finally defeated for good.
Title: Geography Game
Post by: Malte279 on March 11, 2010, 05:49:52 PM
^ It is kind of funny that Wellington there determined to call the battle after the village close to which his headquarters was which of all possible names had to be named Waterloo :slap
The story is even stranger if one considers that for a while an alternative name suggested mainly by Bl¸cher had been in use. If the battle had been named after the place where the two commanders met it would have been the battle of "La belle alliance" which would translate to "the beautiful alliance" which would be quite fitting considering the many nations assembled on the battlefield against Napoleon (the English made up for only a small portion of the "English" army actually). Perhaps the name "La belle alliance" sounded too French so one better settled down on the Waterloo :confused
In spite of being one of the most famous battles in human history the battle of Waterloo arguably was rather pointless. Even if Napoleon had won that day he was bound to be defeated ultimately. His defeat had been sealed more than a year ago (actually much earlier already) and at least with regard to the question of whether or not Napoleon was to continue to rule France in the long run even a victory of Napoleon at Waterloo probably wouldn't have changed anything at all anymore... oh wait, this is the geography game, isn't it? :lol

Ocana - Sticking with locations of the Napoleonic wars Ocana was the site of the greatest single victory of the French over the Spanish on the Iberian peninsula (which otherwise proved to be a site of a war of attrition the effects of which can hardly be overestimated (though often they are underestimated; overshadowed by Napoleons disastrous attack on Russia)). Ocana is a town in the Spanish province of Toledo.

Interestingly, even he had won and somehow managed to regain his previous power as "Emperor", Napoleon was believed to have been sick, and possibly would have died within a couple of years no matter what the outcome of Waterloo or any similar battle. He died in exile at St. Helena within a short time, in any case.
Title: Geography Game
Post by: Malte279 on March 11, 2010, 06:35:20 PM
^ Napoleon did not, but still parts of Argentina (then a Spanish colony) became a theater of war during the Napoleonic wars when the British launched an unsuccessful invasion in 1806 - 1807.

Staying within the theme of Napoleonic wars our next place is

Austerlitz - actually that name is kind of dated for the Czech town of Slavkov u Brna where on December 2nd 1805 (the first anniversary of his staged coronation) Napoleon won what is often perceived as his greatest victory. Outnumbered by the Austrian and Russian forces in this battle that was also referred to as the "Three Emperor's battle" (in spite of the fact that emperor Francis II of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire (which was dissolved as a consequence of this battle) was not present at all). Also... oh well... geography game it is :oops

Some parts of the state are poor (inner city Cleveland, rural Appalachia), and some are rich (Suburbs, Cincinnati, Columbus), and the companies with headquarters or major operations there can be used as means of measuring the national economy, such as Proctor&Gamble, which makes consumer products, or Kroger, which is a HUGE supermarket chain.

Puerto Rico - An island territory of the United States in the Caribbean Sea. Its name is Spanish for "Rich Port" and was claimed for Spain by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage to the new world. Despite separate attempts by the English, French, and Dutch to capture the island, Spain held onto it until after the Spanish-American War in 1898, when it ceded the colony (along with Guam and the Philippines) to the United States. It has been officially called a Commonwealth since 1947, despite numerous votes on whether it should become a state or an independent country.

The way I see it, if anything is going to eventually become the 51st state, my money is on Puerto Rico.

Quote
All their life was spent not in laws, statutes, or rules, but according to their own free will and pleasure. They rose out of their beds when they thought good; they did eat, drink, labour, sleep, when they had a mind to it and were disposed for it. None did awake them, none did offer to constrain them to eat, drink, nor to do any other thing; for so had Gargantua established it. In all their rule and strictest tie of their order there was but this one clause to be observed,

    Do What Thou Wilt;

because men that are free, well-born, well-bred, and conversant in honest companies, have naturally an instinct and spur that prompteth them unto virtuous actions, and withdraws them from vice, which is called honour. Those same men, when by base subjection and constraint they are brought under and kept down, turn aside from that noble disposition by which they formerly were inclined to virtue, to shake off and break that bond of servitude wherein they are so tyrannously enslaved; for it is agreeable with the nature of man to long after things forbidden and to desire what is denied us

If you're a college student, you'd understand it.

Yellow (River) - Also known as Huang He, it is the 6th longest river in the world, and 2nd longest in Asia, after the Yangtze. It is known as "the cradle of Chinese civilization." It has also been nicknamed "China's Sorrow" due to its many devastating floods throughout history. In fact, the two deadliest natural disasters in recorded history (not counting famines or epidemics) were caused by the flooding of this river (2nd worst in 1887, and the worst in 1931, which killed 1 to 4 million people). Its name comes from the appearance of its muddy water. The saying "when the Yellow River flows clear" is basically a Chinese version of the phrase "when pigs fly."

Rapa Nui - Better known as Easter Island. An island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean and one of the most remote inhabited places in the world (1200 miles to the nearest island and over 2000 miles west of South America). It was given the name Easter Island because it was discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday in 1722. The island is famous for the hundreds of moai (the giant head statues) located along the coast. It is believed the mass construction of these statues ultimately led to ecological disaster that left the island treeless and led to a huge population loss (from 15,000 to 2000-3000) before the Europeans had even arrived.

(I had been avoiding this topic for quite a while mostly because it has simply gotten way to complicated for me. It just wasn't fun anymore when I had to keep visiting Wikipedia for every post here just to get some info on some rather obscure place. On another forum I visit, they have a their own place-name game going on where they don't require any descriptions to go with names, and I actually liked that a lot. Of course, I understand that some of you might like the old way better, so perhaps we should reduce descriptions to just one sentence from now on. I'd like for this game to not be so much of a chore anymore.

Anyway, since I got a new atlas for Christmas, I might as well try getting back into this game.)

Niue - a small island in the South Pacific that is a freely-associated state of New Zealand. It was first settled by Samoans around 900 AD, and it was later settled by people from Tonga in the 1500s. Now it boasts a population of approximately 1600, along with its own language, which 40% of the island's population speaks exclusively. It also has its own currency, but it primarily uses the New Zealand dollar. James Cook, the first European to try and land there in 1774, named it "Savage Island", which endured for several centuries before the island's traditional name (Niue) started to be used again.
