I should say that the only really fancy place we stayed in was a beach resort place after doing the lost city trek, so we were grimy enough. Other than that we back packed to try and meet people and have the craic

Guys, while yer here, there is a one-night game of werewolf taking place on Friday evening

Its a great chance to give it a go, its a great game. Basic premise is three people are nominated wolves and get to kill of other players, while the other players try to find them, based on nothing but their interactions. Not dissimilar to Among Us

Link to the sign-up is here

I was the same and still am sometimes but that doesnt matter. Every game I learn something new and like Forum Games people really welcoming. Some games complex some games easy and anyone who can puzzle out FG quizzes well able for it

Try a simple game to get into it.
Ah go on go on go on

This is a vanilla game so should be a lot easier to follow so would be a good one to dip your toes back in.

So, if the answer is the price of a top-end hotel room, but top-end is subective (whose subjective?), then there isn't actually an answer to aim for?



This game is starting to really hurt my head

There is an answer, it just happens to be an answer only G&R knows and no one else could.

The game is essentially guess a number and person furthest away is eliminated. Like "guess how many jelly beans are in this jar, which is hidden behind this curtain, and no you can't have a look at it."*

Its much more fun than having questions that can be worked out reasonably by all you math nerds, and I am loving the questions.

Just use your imagination...

That is what keeps me baway from it. I wouldn't have a clue and end up looking like a dope.
Also if you were AFK for a good while, could you spoil the game for others?

NOpe adds to the fun and even the experienced players mess up. So dont worry just ask lots of in game questions dont worry its all part of it.

I dunno what AFK means but I can assure you, after 2 odd years of playing I still haven't a clue what's going on. That in a way is kinda the point of the game. In the last game Green, an experienced player game himself up incorrectly and that could have been seen as spoiling the game for others but it just wasn't. That's not how the game works. Also the community of players is not like that.


We've a huge amount of people offering to be supports this round. So sign up and let Bags or myself know and we'll hook you up with an experienced player to guide you during the game if anyone would like.

Everybody looks like a dope at some stage, even the most experienced players in there. Its well worth trying out and a bit of craic.

Also most people post in fits and spurts rather than there all the time so if you go missing for a while its no biggy.

It is according to a lonely planet article so I guess it is the opinion of whoever wrote it what top end is? I would be more interested to know when it was writen.

Is "top-end" not just a 5 star hotel?

Maybe it's a trick question, and they just got the top-floor room in a shitty hotel...

I'm thinking of changing mine, but I don't know what to. I just know I don't like my answer.


I took the unstated theme of the question as "You wont believe how cheap hotels are in Bogata" In the same sort of vein as "Would you believe how little dairy farmers get for milk".


Now I just dont know :eek:

That definitely wasn’t how I intended to theme the question but don’t let that put you off in the other direction either


You’re f**ked now, aren’t you?

Out of interest was the whole honeymoon in Colombia or was it part of a wider South American trip?

Don't think I know anyone who has just gone to Colombia. Seems an interesting spot...big cities, Caribbean and Pacific coasts, rainforests, uplands...bit of everything really but probably suffers from a bit of a reputation.

A mate started a South American trip there and never made it anywhere else. Managed to blag working remotely from there for a few months before he came home. Few months later he moved to Bogata. Still there, obviously loves the place.

I never played Werewolf before and joined the Die Hard one after Xmas. I found the other players to be really welcoming and friendly and explained anything i was stuck with. I thought it was really good fun.

According to the Lonely Planet how much would one night in a double room in a top-end hotel in Colombia cost?

Does the price include breakfast, and if so is that bacon, egg, sausage, black and white pudding, a bit of liver, a chop, tomato, mushrooms, beans, hash brown, Ulster farl, and brown bread and toast with marmalade, together with a pot of tay,

or is it just a coffee and a bun?

In Colombia? I don't think so. I would say coffee and some exotic looking, eh, plants.

Just Colombia for the month. We’d both spent time in SA separately, I had 7 months there


It’s a class spot, Bogotá and Medellin are party towns, there’s loads of adventure sports in smaller towns, then lots of islands to visit, Cartegena is as cool a city as you’ll see. Lost city trek is class.

Found it very safe, people are really friendly, my Spanish is poor but they have a great level of English. We had a DJ take us home to a house party in the Bogotá suburbs one nite, never felt dangerous.

Couldn’t recommend it enough, real diversity

So all answers are in

I'm thinking of starting a travel agency after this question, I would like all but one of you to book your trips through my enterprise

Thats right, only one of you went lower than the answer, two more were within €15 of the answer and everyone else was at least twice the answer


You guys suck at this game

Two people were over 10 times greater


But one guy went wayyyyyy over and above


100 times the answer

The actual answer was 160,000 Colombian Pesos, which corresponded to €38.08 this morning. Hats off to Duffman who was very close.

I can only think that Aaronjennings is so rich he never needs to trouble himself with booking hotels. Maybe he thought it was how much to buy the hotel?
