The Guess-the-historic-event game!
« on: July 02, 2008, 12:41:57 pm »
The title says it all. I give you a picture, and you have to derive a historic event of it.
Find one, and get added in the =hall of points=!
Why, do you ask, would you do this? Why, did I set this thing up?
Because I'm bored. And so are you. Admit it.
You gain extra points if you guess multiple pictures correctly in one go.
For example, if you guess three correctly, you gain 1 point, another 1 point + 1 point bonus, another 1 point + 2 points bonus. Or something.

Hall of Points!
-------------

14 points - LeoLeonardoIII
6 points - Jualin
5 points - Asheron
4 points - LASD
3 points - Maggarg, eater of chickens.
3 points - Naze
3 points - Bullion
1 point - Strife26



So, here are the first pictures.

The second one down is about the roman empire splitting into the western and eastern empire.
The third is probably something to do with us (the British) colonising India, giving India back, or the East India company.
And tea.
Oh, and the last would be Bloody Sunday.
Not sure about the first one though.

The India part is crossed because people thought it happened there, but it didn't happen there. If you find that more confusing, just ignore this message.
Oh and, uh, notice the ship. Old ship. Over the sea. Hint.

The third is Kolumbus (what the hell is it in English   ???) and his expedition finding India America.

EDIT. Apparently Columbus  ;D, I just wanted to post fast so that no one would snatch my points.

The second and fourth is correct, the third isn't.

Here's another one.
I can see what you mean now, but that is also the wrong kind of ship.
Colombus would have sailed in a caravel, and that ship is probably a tea clipper.

That last one must be the Alamo!
I think that it was triangular, and it does involve mexico.

Although Fargo is a fair bit away from the southern border.

I thought the first one with the cheese was about man inventing the wheel.

OK so the iceberg one is obviously about the sinking of the Titanic.

Bravo, btw, this is a great game because there's no possible way to cheat by searching on the Internet. You just have to get it.
