    I'm in stitches. LOL. But not Chelyabinsk.

    But it is rather close to Chelyabinsk.

    And it is one of the most polluted places on earth.

    Kipate, you are too good at this game. I am impressed. But you have stolen two of my clues. :) The city is 2000k from Chelyabinsk.
    Here's another view of the city.

    Do you mean 2000 kilometres or do you mean 200 km?
    In case you do mean 2000 kilometres, then I was wrong
    and it was just a freaking coincidence that the city I had in mind
    has some views that look 99.99% the same like the real Mystery City.

    I mean 2000 kilometers, which keeps it on the same continent, which in my mind makes it close. I thought you had figured it out. The mystery city is, as you see, very polluted.

    Okay, so maybe to avoid further confusion.
    My guess was Magnitogorsk, Russia.
    You had shown a lot of industry-related photos, so I thought
    of the town having to be a large industrial center...

    And one must say it looks very similar:
    magnitogorsk-town.jpg

    The whole city basically looks like this, so you could go ahead and find an area where you have an
    almost equal scenery to what you show in the photos.

    Yes, I see what you mean. I thought the view of the city I chose was more unique, because of the mountains in the background. Guess not.

    Very good. You are indeed very good at this game, OWO (oh wise one). :sneaky:

    Norilsk is also the northernmost city in the world with a population >100k.

    Your turn, kipate.

    Both Kipate and Facaden are the Mystery City masters, whatever cities you give 'em, they'll find out what it is. :p
    I heard Facaden, when he was active in this game, didn't even got a single one wrong. ;)

    Nah, I don't think I could somewhat compete with Facaden, he is simply better than anyone at this game.

    Nope, and well, the city has less inhabitants than Swansea has.
