That was a rubbish guess  But at least I played. Was fun, if there would be a third season, I think I'd try to play every round  even though I would never play for the top spots |

I am interested in a season 3. Its one of those games where you can legit guess or choose to take some time and spend on it. Most people don't like the current version of the game so maybe change the title where it is more of a find the location game where searching and strategy is more involved other than pure guessing. Just my opinion

Brewer has been told that this is his final stop so, in Kimi Raikkonen fashion, he's not even trying. Shorts and ice cream it is. But is it warm enough here for shorts and ice cream? Where is his final stop?
As I said yesterday, you have until Sunday afternoon to send in your answer. It would be great if everyone reading this could send something to go out on a high. Let's try and get 20 submissions.

Four answers in so far. This game is not over yet.

Not as many submissions as I'd hoped for but you still have 24 hours from now to send something.

This one was the easiest of the last few rounds as there were at least some clues. The road signs, the fact that they drive on the right and the ferry port with land not that far away on the other side were obvious clues. Then it was just a case of working out where the place looked like and trying to pinpoint it. With many battles still ongoing in the table in this final round, where did the entrants go for?
| matt17br | Luleå, Sweden | | lakebeach | Visingsö, Sweden | | Bjartne | Visingsö, Sweden | | Luxemburger | Kiel, Germany | | jseadog1 | Tver, Russia | | Marcovdw | Visingsö, Sweden | | The Rider | Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia | | Bikex | Calvi, Corsica, France | | afirm | Haugesund, Norway | | AbhishekLFC | Lelystad, Netherlands | | Selwink | Brekke, Norway |
Sadly, only 11 people entered so the season won't end on a big hurrah. Of those 11, the majority were in Scandinavia and two others in Northern Europe. The other answers were Corsica, Russia and Australia, where they don't drive on the right. Leader afirm plumped for Haugesund in Southern Norway, whilst his only rival Bjartne went with an island in Sweden, as did two others. jseadog1 is trapped in Russia and matt17br is right up near the Arctic Circle in Northern Sweden. But where was Brewer on his last escapade?
In an absolutely incredible and dramatic finale, Bjartne, as well as Marcovdw and native Swede lakebeach, got it bang on. It was the small island of Visingsö in the middle of Vättern, near Jönköping, Sweden. With afirm in Norway, we already know who has won the game but let's see how far away everybody was first.
| lakebeach | 0 | | Bjartne | 0 | | Marcovdw | 0 | | Luxemburger | 488 | | afirm | 546 | | Selwink | 600 | | AbhishekLFC | 831 | | matt17br | 933 | | jseadog1 | 1292 | | Bikex | 1763 | | The Rider | 15279 |
Luxemburger was the nearest of the wrong answers in Kiel, so guessing Scandinavia wasn't necessarily vital to get good points. afirm yet again finishes in the top five but is cruelly denied victory at the last by his compatriot Bjartne. The Rider's left-field answer didn't pay off, adding over 15000 air miles to his total. One final mention must go to the oldest rivalry in the game as lakebeach shakes off jseadog1 once and for all. It just wasn't to be for the American this season.
So, let's see the final standings of Season 2:
| # | Name | Rounds | Wins | Kms | Avg | Points | | 1 | Bjartne | 10 | 6 | 8049 | 804.9 | 1085 | | 2 | afirm | 10 | 5 | 13022 | 1302.2 | 1030 | | 3 | Marcovdw | 10 | 5 | 27618 | 2761.8 | 996 | | 4 | lakebeach | 10 | 4 | 20259 | 2025.9 | 805 | | 5 | MARSUPILAMI | 6 | 4 | 17051 | 2841.8 | 729 | | 6 | Waghlon | 5 | 3 | 1451 | 290.2 | 670 | | 7 | jseadog1 | 10 | 2 | 39954 | 3995.4 | 575 | | 8 | matt17br | 10 | 2 | 59391 | 5939.1 | 575 | | 9 | Selwink | 9 | 2 | 23847 | 2649.7 | 508 | | 10 | AbhishekLFC | 10 | 2 | 58640 | 5864 | 507 | | 11 | The Rider | 10 | 1 | 56108 | 5610.8 | 440 | | 12 | PeterRyder | 7 | 1 | 48069 | 6867 | 295 | | 13 | trekbmc | 2 | 1 | 195 | 97.5 | 107 | | 14 | Bikex | 3 | 0 | 9065 | 3021.7 | 81 | | 15 | Luxemburger | 5 | 0 | 23124 | 4624.8 | 81 | | 16 | Dippofix | 1 | 0 | 681 | 681 | 55 | | 17 | jihardy | 3 | 0 | 15965 | 5321.7 | 31 | | 18 | Ian Butler | 1 | 0 | 6128 | 6128 | 20 | | 19 | jandal7 | 2 | 0 | 33200 | 16600 | 16 |
So, by just 55 points after ten highly competitive rounds, it's Bjartne who takes the win. After finishing 5th in Season 1, this is a nice reward for being an ever present in the game. afirm will be disappointed to have lost it at the last but he's definitely a deserving podium finisher who has always been there or thereabouts in every round, although Bjartne has the best average this season of those who stuck around for the whole game. Marcovdw's correct answer takes him so close to 1000 points and he finishes barely 30 points behind afirm.
lakebeach jumps the two inactive members to claim fourth; certainly not as good as last season but some pride will have been restored there. jseadog1 and matt17br incredibly finish tied after ten rounds, with the previous runner-up taking 7th by virtue of his much more accurate guesses, while matt17br takes the prize for most air miles, putting nearly 60000km on the board, just a few more than AbhishekLFC.
Speaking of AbhishekLFC, he gets pushed in to 10th by just one point after Selwink finished one place above him in the final round. Nevertheless, a huge improvement on Season 1 for the ever present Abhishek. The Rider had to settle for 11th, while we had another tie for 14th between Bikex and Luxemburger; Bikex coming out on top due to his better average. jandal7 does indeed claim his second last place in two seasons after picking up just 16 points in two rounds at a remarkable average of 16000km!
------------------------------------------
A massive thank you to those guys that answered in all of the rounds, or most of them at least. This game would have ground to a halt long before round ten if it wasn't for you. Congrats to Bjartne, afirm and Marcovdw for your podium finishes and to AbhishekLFC, who I'm going to give a completely imaginary Most Improved Award to.
There may very well be further seasons of this game but it won't be until after the summer. Hopefully, that will help to refresh the game. As I said at the end of Season 1, if you have any ideas that could improve the game or maybe even some sort of spin-off idea, go ahead and suggest.
Thanks.

Next time I will try and play it full, I wasn't intentionally being bad

Sounds like me after I've shanked an open goal to the corner flag.

Congrats, Bjartne! Well deserved!
I was 95% percent sure you'd get it bang on, but I couldn't find the time myself.
Good job everyone, and thanks for hosting, Brewers! |

Wow, thanks guys! I did really not expect that to happen with one round left to play. I feel sorry for Afirm after having leaded the game for so long, you would have deserved it as well. Also big congrats to marcovdw to get it bang on and podium place. If I hadn't found the place, you would actually pass me aswell! Good job by lakebeach aswell!
And thank you for hosting brewers, the last one had some small hints, but no give-aways so that was a very fun round to play. (Although I initially thought it was Finland because of your Kimi Raikkönen-wording in the start and used about two hours searching through ferry ports over there ) |

Not a good ending as I was hoping for. I would probably participate again if the opportunity presents itself
