FEDERALIST PARTY FUN-ZONE - ETERNITY EDITION
Feynmann
Hi guys,
Today I'm about to step out of my boring news comfort zone and will hopefully provide you with some FUN and TONS OF CASH for at least till the servers are down...
What can I say, we have a great Director of Fun but he's such a model Fed that he let his horny mood mess with his eWork and went chasing bikini girls on the California beaches (damn, I wish I was the Director of Fun ... sighs). So its for us, old, married, rear end black holes to do the writing.
So lets start with some music and kick it from noooooow to .... ETERNITY
(using his best Neil DeGrasse Tyson voice)
This time we are about to break the usual Fed Fun-Zone style.
This time it will be a game, that will last till there are players ... playing it!!!
Every citizen of the wide eWorld is invited and every step of the game will reward you with cash.
And since I love learning new stuff and I hope most of you do too, this one will hopefully provide a lot of interesting stuff for the people who actually play it and for the usual lurkers who stop by to check what's that madness.
I am about to start the game, leaving a comment, with a city name.
In order to participate any citizen got to leave a comment with another city's name - ANY RL CITY will do.
ANY citizen can leave another valid comment, 3 citizens after his last comment, so bring more people with you.
Example: Valid comment
Citizen 1 -> Citizen 2 -> Citizen 3 -> Citizen 4 -> Now citizen 1 can make another valid entry
For every valid city comment left the particular citizen will receive 75 cc.
Now, you can of course post just another city name and you get your money, BUT ... BUT (and here's the fun/educational part) one can add a cool fact(s) for that city and a link to an awesome picture(s) of this city and the 75 cc will be topped to a 100 cc for that type of comment. Sweet?
Of course, if there are a lot of comments for a particular city, that is perfectly ok - your comment STILL COUNTS. But if you leave a comment for the same city, try posting different facts and images for that city, so that we can all learn a lot more.
So you get some free cash and while doing so you learn some stuff about different cities around the globe (smirking at the flat Earth society over his shoulder).
(I know the regular cat can do that game too, so (s)he totally counts, we'll have no way of knowing it).
Where can you find a better deal than that???
AGAIN,THE GAME WILL CONTINUE TILL THERE ARE PEOPLE PLAYING IT.
IMPORTANT: The money will be given once a week at the weekly challenge reset.
That's pretty much it - start playing, get your free cash and LEARN a bunch of new stuff about the world.
Till the next time you hear from me, try to be as PROUD & HORNY as you can.
CHEERS!!!

Starting with one of my favorite cities
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Fun fact: The approximate number of wooden poles that support Amsterdam’s buildings is estimated to be about 11 000 000. All of the structures in the city are supported by 15 to 20 meter long wood poles (except for the newer buildings - concrete) that sink through the mud and are fixed in a sandy layer that is 11 meters deep on average. A typical house has around 10 wooden poles keeping it out of the muck.

Amsterdam is well known to me, but there is another city in the Netherlands that is pretty cool, Utrecht.
Fun fact, the inhabitants are called Utrechters, but many say Utrechtenaren. Utrechtenaren are people that went to Utrecht centuries ago to have gay sex in the destroyed city dome. When they were caught doing that, the death penalty was brought to them.

That has changed nowadays. 😉

We also do not walk a lot in wooden shoes, but Utrecht has a wood mill.

Love Utrecht too. Great pick
Udine.
Little city in north east of Italy, between Austria and Slovenia, Udine was built in the Gothic Age (around 1200-1300). Today it's mostly a commerial city, cause it's in the route of north and east of Europe, and a student city after the construction of a big University.
In the city centre you can still see some buildins of the old Gothic Age:

Wow, looks great. Definitely a must visit city 😉
Regensburg, Germany
Build between 1135 and 1146, the "Steinerne Brücke" in Regensburg is the oldest bridge in Germany.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinerne_Br%C3%BCcke#/media/File:Regensburg_-_Steinerne_Bruecke_ohne_Dom.jpg
Looks great. I once passed trough Regensburg travelling from Germany to Austria, but never really had the time to stop and it was also during the night so...
Belgrade, Serbia
Built around 8 to 10 thousand years ago by the Vinca-Starcevo culture. Has been rased and rebuilt million times in the history. The main artery of the city is "Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra" (ie. King Alexander's Boulevard). That same street has been the main artery of the city since the Roman times. Also, Roman emperor Iovianus was born there (not a terribly important guy, but still an Emperor).
Quite the history Belgrade has. Seems like a nice place to visit if you're a history geek 😉
Does it also offer quality beer?
We do have quality beer, but only from local small breweries or imported. Mainstream local beer is mostly corn-syrup.
If you ever do come near Belgrade, feel free to ping me, I'll be happy to show you around.
We've got a deal 😉
Screw all your dirty europian cities steeped in their bloody history... 🙂
Madison, Wisconsin
Madison's origins begin in 1829, when former federal judge James Duane Doty purchased over a thousand acres (4 km²) of swamp and forest land on the isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, with the intention of building a city in the Four Lakes region. He purchased 1,261 acres for $1,500. When the Wisconsin Territory was created in 1836 the territorial legislature convened in Belmont, Wisconsin. One of the legislature's tasks was to select a permanent location for the territory's capital. Doty lobbied aggressively for Madison as the new capital, offering buffalo robes to the freezing legislators and promising choice Madison lots at discount prices to undecided voters.
Named after president James Madison, It is the capital of Wisconsin and consistently ranks as one of the USA's best cities.

"Dirty europian cities" ? 😁. Are you drunk? Europeans cities its the wonderfull and the oldest in world "bro"
European cities are indeed great, but they are not the oldest cities in the world.
no.... I've been through much of europe, and some of the most famous ones are dirtier than ny.... Also like niemand said, they are not the oldest in the world that distinction goes too......
Nice how you didn't call me out on the bloody history....
Looks nice. Never been to Madison before. Is the lake view good?
I don't live there, but been through a bunch... much of madison isn't close to the lake, and I haven't seen the lake much....
A city is defined as a large and important town so i choose
Porangahau
its a township close to the Pacific Ocean coast in the south-east of the North Island of New Zealand it is important in that it has a location within it that is listed in the Guinness book of world records as the longest place names in the world.
The hill that is listed in GBOWR name is calle😛

LoL, thanks Gabz. That's an amazing fact. Who knew. And I thought the Welsh guys had the record for the longest city names. Guess I was wrong.
San Diego
Fun Fact: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale’s vagina.
LoL, nice 😃
So everyone in San Diego lives in a whales Vagina? 🙂
*on, not in. That would be disturbing
Bucharest
Discover that it was under German Occupation between 1917-1918, and since 1459 it was always capital of Romania (in it's many forms) 😃
Never been to Bucharest, but I have friends who visited it once and they say its very beautiful. Hope some day I will be able to visit it too. 😉
It is very beautiful 🙂
Braga Portugal
Founded 16 BC by the Roman (as Bracara Augusta) in the place where the Bracari Celtic tribe lived.
It was the capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia and after that the capital of the Germanic tribe, Suebi.
Called the Portuguese Rome for its many churchs, Braga's Archbishop is the still today the "Primate of Hispania", the first in the Iberian Peninsula.
Its called the city of the 3 sacred hills (Bom Jesus, Sameiro and Falperra)
PS: Of course Braga has the best football (soccer) club, Sporting Clube de Braga 😃
Today one of the "youngest" cities in Europe with a vibrant university (Universidade do Minho)
Nice. Thank you. Braga seem to have quite some history to share. 😉
If I could swear on eRep I would tell you that Braga is known as the city of the 3 P's.
The 3 P's stand for : Padres (fathers - church fathers) P*t*s (can't translate or write but easy to understand I think) and Paneleir** (can't translate or write either but its a swear word for homosexuals )
Haters made that up ofc
LOL, nice ending credits for the history lesson. 😛

It's been 15 years, but back then it needed to words to describe... Dog S**t
Vinkovci ,Croatia
The area around Vinkovci has been continually inhabited since Neolithic ,what makes it one of the oldest cities in Europe.

I like it that you added a song
Nice idea, voted o7
Cidreira, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: it's just a poor beach with cold water, good for fishing and known for it's shrimps... except it has some bizarre shrimp sculptures which remember that classical MAD comic, Spy vs Spy
See the shrimps in it's full glory:

Birmingham Alabama
Alabama's largest city and home to one of America's greatest medical research Universities in UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and often Called the Pittsburgh of the South for it's Iron/steel production also home to one of the most Haunted places in the USA Sloss Furnace
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiCgo6qjZnVAhVF6oMKHdtiAmAQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmygreenbirmingham.com%2F2014%2F03%2F20%2F5-ways-uab-is-creating-a-more-sustainable-campus%2F&psig=AFQjCNEn8rFhEZVrc5lybGhY8jRrLNusdQ&ust=1500682828139105

Wow, nice! Never knew it was called the Pittsburg of the south.
Ever been to that haunted place?
not a chance I suffer from Paranoia so I would have like 50 panic attacks X
there's a lot more than that like the Oldest baseball field in the US the civil rights institute ,Mcwayne science center (I grew up an hour away in Oneonta Alabama but there's not really much up there 😛
You'll rarely hear an Alabamian call it the Pittsburgh of the south due to the rivalry between the Northern and Southern states we'll call ourselves the Steel City of the South but not Pittsburgh
Wow, thank you. That's very interesting 😉
Manchester, England
Manchester was an industrial city, because of this the population grew extremely quickly and led to the janky and narrow roads we now see. The city is a crowded mess, and because of the use of coal for such a long time, it's also a smoggy mess. The post industrial state of affairs lead to a special type of writing known as Northern Realism, forwarded by A Taste of Honey, by Shelagh Delaney. It was also the birthplace of the influential post punk band, The Smiths.
