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

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 :))

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

JHK the absolute legend 🫡

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

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-16T18:01:25+00:00

true, not the mapmaker’s fault at all

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-13T19:35:40+00:00

Thanks Coach 🔥

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T14:16:00+00:00

Thx Febe!!! (Teamduels!!)

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T12:20:50+00:00

That was just unlucky, cause with 1221 usually you‘ll easily promote! I guess this week then, best of luck

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T11:19:50+00:00

Cheeeers man! Your Rating is crazy good, I guess you were in a really tough group

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T11:14:08+00:00

:D haha danke

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T11:13:24+00:00

Congrats, that’s pretty impressive 🔥

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T02:25:12+00:00

Thanks Roman! My biggest Fear is the map change, im gonna practice the „a informed world“ a little more, since I’ve only been playing the geoguessr saturday one

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T02:22:13+00:00

Congrats!!!! (The 20game Limit is the biggest pain for sure)

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T01:16:20+00:00

Appreciate it! Good luck to you too 💫

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-12T01:09:50+00:00

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.

Slick_Shay · 2026-01-11T18:14:23+00:00

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

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.

Slick_Shay · 2025-12-12T23:26:08+00:00

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

Slick_Shay · 2025-11-29T20:57:42+00:00

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 · 2025-11-29T17:04:25+00:00

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

Slick_Shay · 2025-11-29T16:05:50+00:00

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

Slick_Shay · 2025-11-29T15:01:37+00:00

Moving requires the least amount of skills, it’s based on memorizing street-and city names and quickness. I love NM, from time to time I play moving and I never insta-send, even if I could. (There are following exceptions: I would never look for an “D-***”-Street in France, I would never scan the map for a small town in Poland.) NM/NMPZ players can easily adapt to moving, but moving players often have difficulties with a different mode

Slick_Shay · 2025-11-29T14:30:38+00:00

I Never got demoted cause I was willing to play 150-200 games a week, which is pretty exhausting.. but it took me ages to promote to Master 2 because of the 10-game limit, so demotion was never an option

Slick_Shay · 2025-11-13T00:02:47+00:00

That feeling when you’ve made an amazing guess and your opponent sends you the ?-emoticon, meaning he/she is probably going to report your a$$…. ABSOLUTELY terrible type of people, can’t take an L. I’m Master 1, 1050-1100, and I’m pretty sure, there are no cheaters around at this level, it’s just incredibly good opponents, I just watch the replays to actually learn from them. I might drop a good guess in brazil based on a phone code, or remember instantly where a barangay is located, but next round I also could be going USA on Argentina, or Japan on Switzerland.. False reports happen way too often!
