The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

In case of two word place names, does the next one have to begin with the last letter of the last or the last letter of the first word? Either way, here are answers for both possibilities. Choose the one that suits you better:
Tours - town in France.
Yokohama - town in Japan.

Feeling so heroic :lol
I wonder why games such as "word association", "word connection", and "word connection part 2" won't ever fall silent :rolleyes:

Georgia -- A state in the US and I also think there is a country named that in Asia.

Guess there are other states who would try to rival the claim. If I was giving Alaska as the next place, or Arizona, the a loop would continue. So it is:
Arnhem - Town in the Netherlands near the German border. "One bridge too far".

There are many Memphises around the world, including one in Texas ;)
The original one was in Egypt but many US towns have been named after it. The Memphis in Tennessee may is probably the most famous not just for being the largest of the lot, but also for the importance the place has in music history (Beale Street, Elvis Presley etc.).

Seine - A river for a change, best known for running through France's capital Paris.

^ Don't they sometimes call it "La Seinne" though or "The Seinne"?  I don't remember much from Frech class six years ago. :p

Not a hundred percent certain about that. My French is almost nonexistent. However, the Mississippi would usually be referred to as THE Mississippi (river) as well, but I doubt anyone would take it as a place for the letter t.

Argos - a very old town in Greece.
