@FearTheMoo I guessed that Nordland was Norway in the first place because it sounds like Norway... isn't that the easiest way?

Blocks suck. even if you do buy a sticker what is the point? The people you talk to will be like: "Wow a bumblebee, I'm so impressed". (Sarcasm)

At least the chat for the game is active :D A fun silver lining that. Whats more interesting is most people chatting are oldies who have been here for over ten years.

They should give you points for bring in the right country. Sometimes I'm of by just a little and I get almost no points.

Like a lot of people, I earned all the badges of this game a long time ago and my easy badge is not detected for the BOTD because of the "Blocks BUG". We can't even report a missing achievement. How do we report this?

If I know where the country is, I just click in the middle of it. If I don't know where the country is, I pick somewhere that's land.

The Mercator projection probably isn't the way to go for this game, too much distortion... Mollweide would be a little better for getting the Canadian and Russian cities. Or the dev could do whatever Google Earth does to get great circle distances. That could be some fun math

5/5 even though the "strike" concept is purely luck. I couldn't strike myself at that level if you put a pin on my location.

In Europe you get some points even if you pick the wrong country, but in USA you get screwed if you don't know the city names xD

Sure wish there was a full screen option, the map is too small for any accuracy even when you know a city location. I got just one strike by shear luck.

When it ask some USA city and you just shoot randomly because cities you know is Washington, New York and Los Angeles...

Why did my geography classes only cover continents, countries, states/provinces/territories, and counties? Fat lot of good that did me.
By the way, did you know that there is a Phoenix, New York, USA? When the question is Phoenix, USA and there is more than 1 right answer, the question needs to be a bit more specific as to which Phoenix it wants. The damn Souix City, USA question is a really mindscrew...

This game rules. I've had a strong desire to brush up on my rather weak Geography skills, and next thing I know this game pops up and teaches me the layout of half the planet. And for that, I thank you.

I'm reposting this comment from a Kongregate staff member because it's getting lost in the sea of (rightfully) angry people whose badges aren't registering. "Please email support@kongregate.com if your Badge of the Day isn't registering. During this time, emailing us or using a "Contact us"-->other form instead of "Report missing achievement" form will work better. We are committed to getting everyone their missing Badge of the Day goodies"

So the badge shows up now... but no BOTD award and therefore no Kongpanion (and if that keeps up for this week then no Shiny either!)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yup, the badge is broken for me too. The past few days it'd show up if I just waited a while after logging into the page, but now it doesn't seem to register at all... Here's hoping they fix it soon.

I already have the badge but it still won't give me the kongpanion. I played it three times today just to try and gwt it once more. I guess this will remain broken.

Even better than finding there are no stickers available, it claims I own all the stickers! o_O But I have none... AND I can't get the BoTD either!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Right, so I'm positive that I got this achievement in the past, but with the block update, the daily no longer triggers. But I can also no longer find how to report missing achievements...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
What happened to the link to report missing achievements? I, along with other people it seems, am not getting this achievement, even though I have done it in the past. Did it again and it didn't pop.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I vowed that if a week goes by without me being able to get a shiny kongpanion, I will leave this site forever. shame it might be over this stupid block thing that I don't want or need.
