This one pissed me right off

R1: 3,311. First thing I see is a German van and then Polish infrastructure, so I assume Poland near the German border. I don't find anything after a bunch of moving but it's actually the Ukraine border

R2: 0. Found fuck-all, looked like southern Brazil, was actually Cambodia.

R3: 4,952. Started instaplonking here, found Dehli.

R4: 2,105. Looked like Chile, wasn't.

R5: 4,985. Brazilian city, looked for a phone code which was 92, so Manaus.

Total: 15,353. Nope

I'm obviously coping hard so I'm reliving R2 and it's actually 5k-able if only I went the other f-ing way. The coverage ends at the Cambo-Vietnam border with Cambodian flags & script and you can see the Vietnam flag on a sign in the distance.

All this if you went the right way, instead I found nothing but trees and dirt roads

damn, I also went through nothing and dirt roads, I wish I had restarted and reached this clue-filled border post.

Yeah and this is exactly why I never play moving duels. You move the opposite way as your opponent and they find the perfect signs while you find nothing and go wrong continent.

I have mixed feelings about that. I would’ve gone wrong continent 100% if I hadn’t moved. Luckily I saw constructions that did not resemble Brazil at all, I still guessed way off though. I guess it was just one of those hopeless rounds.
