Yellowlab

Congratulations, simwario. This city is in Bolivia. That's good for 2 points. Scoring simwario +2 Also, new colors! The gray replaces the orange to tie all YellowGames together with a common color and a variation color, in this case blue.

The date I give is the date of Annuarianship...being the day that you've been a Simtrop member for 1 year.

Going to near Harrisonburg, home of ACEfanatic, for a week. Will return July 24-hold down the fort for me.

Congratulations, simwario. Mystery City #1 is Niigata, Japan. Niigata Facts Niigata is a city in central Honshu in Japan and lies on the Sea of Japan. Niigata is the capital of Niigata Prefecture both economically and politically. The city is split by the Shinanogawa River, with the older town to the north and the newer to the south. A Niigata landmark is the Rainbow Tower, which you can see in the image faintly in the background. From this vantage-point the entire city can be seen. About 600,000 people live in and around Niigata. Scoring simwario +8 Moving on...

I will say this: Clue 1 Nobody has guessed the right country as of this post. A note: I will be out of town until Saturday, July 24. So guess away!

Congratulations, raindog. Mystery City #1 is Klaipeda, Lithuania. Let's find out more! Klaipeda (formerly called Memel) is a city in western Lithuania on the Baltic Sea. The city is a shipping and fishing center. Klaipeda was founded in the 600s and destroyed in 1252 by the Teutons, who built a fortress there called Memelburg. In 1629 the city was captured by the Swedish; they were forced out in 1635 by the Prussians, who controlled the city until 1919. In 1923 Memel was passed to Lithuania and renamed Klaipeda. Today the city is home to around 300,000 people. Scoring raindog <> +10 That brings us to Mystery City 2 http://3.forumer.com/uploads/simtropolis/post-3-1090048892.jpg width=604 border=0> Where am I?

Simwario has the correct nation, as that architecture could only be in Japan. Scoring simwario +2

I was pretty certain that was One Wachovia Center, Charlotte, NC, and a quick check on skyscrapers.com confirmed it.

Ah...thanks Lighthouses of Maine coffee-table book! That would be the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine, USA

Just a thought...there is a big, wide internet out there, and on this site there's a lot of places to post your thoughts not pertaining to this topic...why don't we use it and not clutter up the thread with random tangents? Also, there is no point to the Annuarians Club other than to simply recognize still-active members of this site who have been members for over one year. Post count, site influence, etc. is utterly unimportant. There is no reason why this thread is offensive; I refuse to address it further. Thanks for taking unrelated topics elsewhere and complaints to PM.

Bern or Montreaux?

No need to be rude/sarcastic/holier-than-thou... It's obvious dev has worked hard on this and it doesn't merit ridicule. I think it's a good idea, but it would be much better hosted on a site like SCH, what with Simtropolis being pressed for bandwidth. Why don't you host the site on SCH, which is looking for content anyway? You could link to the latest developments and put news, awards, etc. and a sampling of entries (with the pictures hosted on SCH) here. That would be nice. I may enter, although right now I don't have anything suitable. The restrictions are kind of intense... Also, I'd make 3 pictures the minimum and 6-8 the max. Just a thought. Also...ert...I don't think he was talking about having the contest in 2012...it's 2012, I believe, because the host city hasn't been chosen yet.

Hmm...I will guess Nepal or China

Hmm...I will guess Bulgaria or Albania
