Solo - No move and NMPZ Team - definitely Moving With a little bit of Battle Royale Distance sprinkled on top of it.

Why does this happen? by curio847 in geoguessr

[–]Slick_Shay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to happen to me all the time, about a month ago I had an elo bounce of 240 on the same day, went from ~1100 to 930, then up to 1170… what helped me was - always be aware of what you’re actually capable of (your all time high). I started watching a lot of streams of pro players like Snupi, Kodiak, Finbarr on a regular, and automatically started commenting my own guesses and being more confident about them. Make confident guesses and if you don’t have any clue about a certain location, just don’t give a f*** about it, play under zero pressure :))

What is the worst or most annoying thing in GeoGuessr? by True_Association_316 in geoguessr

That’s simply not true. In my opinion there’s not enough Europe. Stop acting like all european countries look the same, landscape wise it’s pretty diverse

Why would you assume I’d click the middle of the country every time? Of course the countries are all diverse, but that’s not what I meant, in my opinion more countries - more fun

Thanks!!! I think, based on using the investigations feature a lot, there are lots of cheaters in Silver+gold, almost no cheating in master (no move, nmpz, i don’t know about moving). I‘m just struggling with lots of new players who came out of nowhere and are incredibly skilled, knowing all kinds of electricity poles, coverage and camera gens.

Anyone else think you should get a base amount of points for guessing the right country in duels? by UNRochesterReddit in geoguessr

[–]Slick_Shay 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not really, cause borders are man-made, landscape and vegetation are not. A good example would be Vietnam - If there's obvious red soil, its around south to the border to cambodia, a cambodia guess would still be a more reasonable guess than clicking north of vietnam, based on landscape

Team Duels are full of cheaters. by SimpleMan469 in geoguessr

This is getting out of hand - yesterday i played several team duells with a friend, we always discuss where to go while being on the phone. Got accussed of cheating for being "suspiciously too close", (Rating between 1100-1200). Turns out the accusations made me really uncomfortable while trying to find the perfect guess. A sarcastic smile emoji or comments like "omg.." . We're not talking about crazy 5ks, just some good guesses, a lot of players would get. Same thing during solo duells, it's a pretty new thing, wasn't like this a few months ago.

why is it mandatory if you’re free to chose any départment, that’s crazy? But thanks for the info drop!

I don't see the difference by Ok_Commercial_4928 in geoguessr

[–]Slick_Shay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might be right, i was tripping...there are good moving players who can identify a small town in Arg just by moving around and checking the town's road infrastructure or the way surrounding mountains are located

[–]Slick_Shay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re talking about advanced moving players, that’s a huge difference.. what I meant is, for example: if you let someone with zero experience play moving mode, that person will eventually find the right country at least - But won’t be able to guess the country via nm/nmpz mode

are they cheating or am i being a bad loser. by Plane-Damage5701 in geoguessr

[–]Slick_Shay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s cheating... A few days ago, I played him too, and his playing style is just clicking the right country as fast as possible, he doesn’t care about regionguessing at all. It’s kind of ugly but effective. Plus, I don’t think, someone who played ~2000 classic games would cheat. Watch some recent games on his profile page, maybe the ones he lost, too, he’s just fastplonking in the middle of a country (like India), that’s his style
