Sorry to say once again, but please fix September 10th. The picture still works, but nobody got it right.

I did, but the given answer is wrong

Mutiix123 · September 10th, 2011, 03:32 PM

Please delete the city name, cause if anybody sees this, everybody knows what city it is...

northern lad · September 11th, 2011, 12:54 AM

ok

Mutiix123 · September 15th, 2011, 08:27 AM

Jan, can you please fix today's image. It doesn't agree with the answer...

If you can't fix it (I mean, it is saying the correct city two times, but still got 0 points), can you please replace Sep 10 and Sep 15 with new ones?

travelbug · September 20th, 2011, 09:07 AM

Ooooooh Jan..... Jan... .Where are you? The XL game is falling apart. Your fans need you now more than ever. Its carnage out there!

Mutiix123 · September 21st, 2011, 08:22 AM

Yeah, I wonder where he is

today's GTC is also bugged

I started making some experiments of this functionality, and for instance on the 26 GTC pictures of the month of September, Google was able to find a direct link to the original image for 22 of them. Even if some pictures of GTC are cropped. It can even find similar images and guess the subject of the photos.

Now does it change the rules ? It was theoretically already possible to cheat by using double accounts. Since the game has no other real reward than your personal satisfaction it would be a pity to play using such tricks just to appear on top of a list.

Agree, still, being able to figure out the rest 20-25% of the pictures that can't be solved with the help of google images puts us among the best.
And anyways, random cheaters with multiple accounts always get bored with the game after a while, and soon disappear from the top of the list, or get uncovered when a corrupted image comes (like 15th Sept.)
I used to be very angry with them too, but you have to admit this is just a game where there is nothing to win, you can only prove to yourself.
And only this "pays" for those countless hours we spend playing GTC.

What about the bugs on Sep 10 and 21? Will they be corrected?

Babete · October 4th, 2011, 10:06 PM

Don't forget 15th September!

Didoni · October 4th, 2011, 11:50 PM

Don't forget about the bug on the 5th of January. It has been 9 months and still a lot of us have not received the 3 points. I wrote 3 times to Jan, but obviously it is not a matter of just writing. I think no one reads this thread or at least the problems from a long time ago are "well forgotten".

It is not that big deal, nobody's going to die. But still, it is good to be fair at least to the people, who do not cheat in this game.

Mutiix123 · October 29th, 2011, 11:05 PM

Sorry for posting in such an old topic.

But there's no pic today (Oct 29). Please fix it.

Edit: The same happened for Oct 30

***Jan*** · October 29th, 2011, 11:27 PM

yeah I'll add some tonight

tesseract · November 4th, 2011, 08:13 AM

oh Jan,

since you are here, would you mind fixing "September 15" please....

Junk · November 5th, 2011, 08:32 PM

Yes, please do.

Mutiix123 · November 5th, 2011, 11:11 PM

And November 5 has no pic either.

EDIT: It is 23:33 here in Denmark and Nov 6 is not working either.

Spocket · November 12th, 2011, 08:31 AM

There are no pics for November 11th and 12th .
What really amazes me though is how 16 people (that I saw) guessed it anyway and at least one has tried to guess today's .

Why would anybody guess where a picture they can't see was taken ?

EDIT : Oh , and can I have my 3 points for September the 15th please ? I got the right city but the computer seems to think that I'm wrong even though I'm %100 correct .

SanMiguel · November 16th, 2011, 03:59 AM

and 5th January seem also not being fixed yet...
i don't really need to complain coz i already got my 3 points
but it's strange to read:
"Today's city picture shows: BlahBlah, Canada. Your guess was BlahBlah, India. You scored 3 points in this round..."

worst of all:
some guys are confused with that and obviously not able to understand it in the right context.
So they cause unnessesary troubles by insulting innocent members

.

***Jan*** · November 16th, 2011, 05:20 AM

Yeah, I still need to look at that one, and the Sep 15 one as well, sorry about that. Thanks for pointing out.

eusimcity4 · November 21st, 2011, 10:30 PM

um....you might want to keep the picture a bit more secret because i heard people go on google, paste the URL and see the city name.......
