- If I'm well practised and experienced at battle royale distance, I can do this. Right now I'm neither of those things, but who knows, maybe I can fluke a game with a few bronze badgers in the lobby, or maybe finish top 3? Watch till the end to find out..

I really hope Tom notices the distance differences between the lower and upper player one day. It would help him tremendously.
Edit : Well, he has listened.
Yeah, bummer he hasn’t figured that out yet...
I’m not sure I do either
@NightLife Explores When you're 1000 miles behind the next guy, then don't guess the same general area. It would only take a quick glance and proper interpretation.
I haven't been able to figure out what those numbers mean exactly
yea. for anyone who doesn't know, look at his last round as an example. he starts in mexico, but then on right side you can see that someone else has guessed better than him, and he is like 6,800 miles away. then he tries albania, and he's still losing, but now he's only 200 miles away from the other guesser. at this point, you can be 100% certain that the true location is closer to albania than it is to mexico, and it's also more than 200 miles away from albania. since guessing spain didn't improve the distance at all, it would be logical to guess 200+ miles to the south or east of albania next.
Tom's disregard to the distance hints is painful and entertaining at the same time.
Mostly painful
Very very paiful
He doesn't read any comments?
I was screaming at the screen "YOU'RE ONLY 18 MILES AWAY FROM THE LEADER MATE, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT AREA!!"
@@SimonLAylett1 While, especially with many guesses already on the board, a good indicator you're likely in the general area, it doesn't necessarily mean he's in the right area. They could also be 1000 and 1018 miles away from the correct location (and, in that case up to 2018 miles apart from each other). It doesn't indicate the distance between players, but how much further/closer your guess is to the correct location.
The only thing this distance definitely alone tells you is that your next guess must be further than that distance away from your previous guesses to have a chance to overtake.
Biggest tip is noticing and using that distance difference. Such a impactful set of information
He definitely doesn’t understand how the distance works on guesses
But you don't really know which of your guesses is the best
@@emile2738 right, but if you guessed first and are on top, and then guess another time. There's not really a way of knowing which one is best right?
@@LPRD well you shouldn't guess a second time when on top, unless you are absolutely certain about the new guess
@@LPRD Does the distance down/up change? Best guess. Otherwise: not best guess.
No other distances on the board: don't second guess.
With this "algorithm" you always know your best guess.
14:41 Tom, the distance it shows for the other people's guesses is very helpful here. It says the person above you is only 18 miles closer than you, and the numbers haven't changed since your initial guess in Lithuania. That means that the location is almost certainly somewhere close to that guess, so you guessing very far in other countries makes no sense. Just a little tip c:
And again at 20:38 - The person above you was 6862 miles closer than you, and when you guessed Albania, it changed to only 206 miles. This means you got a lot closer to the correct location. So guessing Peru after that made no sense either. Try to look at those numbers sometimes, they really do help c:
Haha I was just about to comment the same thing!
Yeah, it's kinda frustrating watching and knowing how close he actually is without realising. Hopefully he'll notice in the next video! :)
For real. Hopefully he sees these
The mile marker above name means the opponent is [# of miles] closer than you. The one below is how many miles closer your are to the spot than the opponent below
Last round:
Tom guesses Mexico - 6000 miles away from the next better player.
Tom guesses Albania - only 200 miles away now.
Spain gives no change, so it must be east of Spain.
Tom: „Fine, let’s try Peru.“
Yeah, Tom hasn’t figured out the mechanics yet...
So frustrating...
also why does he change his guess when he's in first with no new information? It's so frustrating to watch I can't finish the video
@@Dancindazed he’s not very bright haha
@@djzanis5220 he is old so he isnt bright in technology but he is bright in a lot of other things
3:25 “but this guy wasn’t far off with his aquatic effort 👁👁”
best comment
Acquaintance.
😂
These intros just demonstrate how much further Tom is descending into madness
Mukbang when?
He do be hydrating
DND SOON
As someone who finds eating iritating, I could do without the intro
@@fishykid must be hard to live life without eating
My guess is that in about three more episodes he's gonna figure out how the distance markers work
18:28 - remember everyone: if the sky is blue, you're probably in coastal Romania!
Tom: "Bas Sekolah? Is Sekolah a place??"
Me, who doesn't speak a word of Malay: "Pretty sure that means 'school bus', Tom."
Pretty sure it's Hebrew?! 😂
Ahaha it is, good guess, google translate says it so it’s true
yea i got that hunch too
@@alex0589 Did you really need Google Translate to confirm it tho?
it is school bus
Its amazing how good tom is at guessing while at the same time so slow at understanding what the UI offers to him everygame br he played so far.
"without moving scrolling and zooming" -Tom 2021
lmao i always have to look back at the title after i see him moving
haha yeah apparently panning is allowed and zooming is double banned
next time without guessing too
Tom, we're gonna need a statement from you about getting beaten in the Wetherspoons map by a Yank who has never left Stoke on Trent
hahaha, wonder who...
Fkg lol
i need an explaination!!
@@mmdmaryam5605 ludwig
BOYS!
There is tier based matchmaking, the only reason why there was a silver is because he didn't have enough players to start a match and was allowed to join the bronze game.
Distance Battle NMPZ is super tough! You did good! :)
You just released a vid doing the same thing lol
man geopeter how are you not verified yet, someone verify this man
@@aidansokolov7184 I guess great minds think alike :D
@@GeoPeter I guess so
@@GeoPeter indeed
I think Tom actually figured out the rules
edit: I prematurely made this comment 5 minutes into the video...
@@IHateStroads Yeah, and same at 14:41 when the person above him was only 18 miles closer than him, and he keeps guessing like 300 miles away for some reason. He should really pay more attention to those numbers c:
No he didn’t, lol 😂
Something I’ve noticed to differentiate Latvia and Lithuania,
Latvia’s roads are generally dirt in rural locations, and if you see dirt behind you getting kicked up by the car, it should be more eastern Latvia
Lithuania will still have paved roads, even in the middle of nowhere.
Hope this helps!
Amazing how Tom is so talented at the core activity of the game and so bad at everything else. It's like if Lewis Hamilton didn't understand how pit lanes work.
1:57 "Apparently my nan's on here, and my son"
Look down Tom, there is your ex wife also :D
Haha I looked down and saw my current wife under the desk
What an intro. Bravo
10:20 you have to check the distance every time you make another guess, in this case you would have noticed that you were getting closer by going south and you wouldn't have wasted time trying to place a guess more to the north
The distance isn't the distance to the location, it's the distance to the closest (above and below) competitor. This just tells you are you in the same general location as your competitors NOT are you close to the location.
@@stephenclark9917 but as his competitor is closer than him, that means it is closer to the location.
@@stephenclark9917 Not exactly, it's the differences between your distance to the location, and that of the players next to you. And you can use that information to know whether you made a step in the right direction or not.
@@scarlettfrazier8363 wrong. competitor could be 6000+ from the location (but you dont know it) and you are just 200km from him. in this case, you both are pretty far from the correct location.
@@frareanvidal wrong.
I think the easiest way of figuring out how far away you are is to pay close attention to the distance it says you are to other people. That way you know when your guess is closer, even if you don't move in the ranking
Slurp, slurp, slurp, belch. Has Tom become too good of friends with Ludwig?
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear john
Tom: *is 18 miles behind first place
Also Tom: time to throw some guesses 600-1000 miles away
My city has appeared for the first time, so happy you got the country at least. Appreciate your content a lot here in Belo Horizonte.
Him still not understanding the rules makes these incredibly painful and hard to watch
What’s the rules
I agree. Theres a small cringe factor, and I've never actually finished any of his battle royales because of it. And the worst part is, I have never read the rules, or played the game, but it is easy to tell what he's missing because the UI is pretty obvious.
The intros keep getting better and better!!! Love it!
"I have no idea what clues they got" DISTANCE, DISTANCE, DISTANCE from leader!
"Get in" count = 0
Totally expecting a get in on the Singapore guess... alas. Nothing.
keep up the good work
On the last Turkey round you could see that you got closer to the person in front of you when you clicked in Albania, so you should have known it was somewhere in europe and not in south america! This was awesome though, would love to see you give this one another go :)
14:46 18 miles behind the 3rd player :D U have to read this distance differences Tom :D
"With his aquatic effort!" 😂😂
Tom, pay more attention to the distance to other players' guesses every time you place the marker. In the last round it was clear that your closest guess was the Albanian one, and clicking on Spain didn't bring you any nearer, so it had to be in the other direction.
Very much this!
" Bas Sekolah " = Bus School(directly translated word for word) An easy indicator for Malaysia is that there will be many different languages grouped together, easily up to all the 4 main languages spoken. In order of popularity - Malay, English, Chinese and Hindi(Indian)
Scattering guesses before the other last guy has guessed seems a bad plan. It makes it extremely hard for you to figure out where his best guess is. If you guess first, wait to guess again until are you no longer in first place
On the other hand, if you wait too long you can only make one or two more guesses, because of the timer on them. So if the other person gets lucky you might not have the time to make enough guesses.
You're killing me, Tom. Pay attention to the distance! lol
20:38 Tom if you pay attention to the number in between you and the person above you it tells you how far away you are from them, so when you went from south america to albania, and the number goes from 6800 km to 200 km you could have been able to know to keep going east
It doesn't say how far you are from them, but how much closer they are to the location. You could be on opposite sides of the world but only have a few kilometres difference if the true location is in the middle of you
@@karol6806 ???????????????????????????????
Looking at his mileage on guesses could've helped him a lot. Especially in that last round, where South America was 1000s of miles off, but the Albania guess was only a few hundred miles off of the next guess.
Imagine what a god Tom would be if he ever learned the rules of the game.
Don't give up on the survival missions quite yet. I love 'em!
Try going to Norway again, maybe the eastern forests. We have the best nature and the perfect laws for such endeavours; camping on non-properties can be done all year 'round, just remeber that fireplaces must be built safely with rocks during warm months (april-october)!
Their biggest mistake was probably burning too many calories. I think survivalists spend most of their time just doing nothing.
Hands down, greatest intro of all time.
Reading 'Heemskerk' on the turbine and then seeing it on the map was difficult to watch Tom miss. Although often in these videos the name he's looking for is on the screen somewhere; he would do well to read every town name before he starts moving around when he's searching for something specific.
It annoys me the video with Ben didn’t get more views cos I looooved that shit and would really enjoy more content in the future of that variety
I think it is what he enjoys most though, so hopefully we do see more of it. How NOT to travel europe was my favourite :-P
I can’t wait for the day he plays a game with one of his imposters in the lobby 😂
Am I the only one going to comment on the fact that he instantly starts panning and zooming?
I was confused with that as well
in the intro he said he was going to just try to win one first, then start the NMPZ.
Sadly not, even though if you've actually watched the video you'd know he was right.
As a New Yorker I was impressed you got that so quickly, but it was painful watching you see the 173rd st sign and not readjust your guess 😅
Tom a tip for how to improve littering the map with guesses:
At 14:50, You were 18 miles further from the guy in 4th and (assuming he made no other guesses), 41 miles further than the guy in 2nd.
So rather than littering the map with random countries, the solution there is to make a guess ~60 miles away from your first guess. If it's not closer than your original guess, make a guess again in approx the opposite direction. With 3 guesses using the strategy (assuming the other guy doesn't guess again and get closer, which does happen and make it difficult) you can approximately pinpoint the direction of where the location is from where your closest guess is
This is the advantage of saving guesses in the early rounds (which you're really good at), that you can be super aggressive with this tactic in later rounds
Not really sure about how scattering works etc. but I couldn't help notice there are numbers in miles, above the guesses (i.e. *up arrow* 23 miles). idk what it means, but when you guess closer, the value changes (easiest example is last one where you guessed albania and it was in Turkey). Another one to check would be the map where you guessed Lithuania. Anyways, point is, you can use that to try and pinpoint the general direction/ possibly distance? of where it is given the topography (i.e. there's an ocean in the way if you go in X direction). Cheers! Enjoyed the video, and can't wait to see your first win using this new challenge :)
Love your channel, Tom! Really enjoyed watching your travel through Europe series today. If you ever need a place to crash in Tokyo, let me know!
In the last round, if you'd zoom a bit more it could have been Greece. There is an island called Kastelorizo right down the coast of Turkey. Great video by the way🇬🇷
They probably find a clue about Turkey. Thats why they guessed there. Also mountains really looks like coastline of Antalya.
@@isabellaherrero Yea you're probably right actually
Tom if you look at the distance to other players you can figure out whether you are getting closer or not. If you say 100km behind someone and you guess to the south of your current position and it goes down to 80km then the place is (most likely) more southern. If the guess doesn't change any distance you can be sure that the direction you went for the second guess is wrong.
The same works if you are first just look what increases the distance ;)
i can't believe geoguesser allows identical usernames. that's so weird.. why wouldn't they require unique usernames
"Can I win a game of Battle Royale Distance without moving, panning or zooming, or fully understanding the game mode?" is an even bigger ask Tom
03:28 this is so funny to me LMAO. AQUATIC EFFORT 0_0
Props for increasing the budget on the intros to your videos, it's noticeable and goes a long way. Keep up the great work!
Im from Belo Horizonte, and i've been in the exact place that was on the map, absolute scenes!
Sempre torço pra isso acontecer comigo haha. Quando vi o grafite do Milton no muro já imaginei MG.
Eu também já estive lá várias vezes! Fica no bairro Santa Tereza hahaha massa demais
Look at the miles man, thats how you know how far you are from other people guesses, it was driving me crazy the hole video
Geowizard is really treating us with all of these uploads
First time it happens to me. I knew exactly where the Brazilian spot was. It would be amazing to be playing this match and get that location.
11:51 as an austria I can give you some tipps here:
- The sign below (red font on yellow) writes "Murauer" which is an austrian beer which you pretty much only get in austria.
- Looking at the pub sign you can see on the left side a white cross on a red background which is the flag of vienna so it's probably vienna ;)
Those are so specific aha
Will keep those in mind, i see a lot of vienna on this game mode
17:44 Damn Tom why'd you have to do Ana Maria like that 😂
Thanks for being a channel that I can watch on CZcams in 2021 that doesn't decrease my IQ
If you're scattering in a country there's a strategy (apart from looking at the other players distance difference):
1) choose a point near a border
2) choose a point near the opposite border
3a) no change? Choose a point in between points 1 and 2.
3b) yes change? Choose a point north/south of the nearest point
4a) If 3a, choose a point north/south of point 3a. Continue narrowing it down, alternating north/south or east/west
4b) if 3b, continue narrowing it down. Alternate north/south or east/west
Lots of love to you Tom. Keep it up. It's the best content before going to sleep
One tip on the Brazilian round: mostly of the Brazilian northeast countryside is dry and arid, so that guess was too far north.
Another thing you can pay attention to is the language. Portuguese is very distinct from Spanish (at least for me) so it's pretty easy to distinguish between Brazil and other south america countries just by language alone.
I love how they bother to put up a sign warning of the potholes, but didn't bother to fix them
Hey Tom, for that Malaysian round, 'bas sekolah' = 'school bus' in Malay as a few others have pointed out. You also zoomed in on the street signs that said 'Johor Bahru' at the bottom, which is one of the biggest cities in Malaysia. The city borders Singapore, but you're right to notice that the wealth divide is huge. Many people in JB are not well off, but the lucky ones who can find a job in Singapore will travel across the bridge to work every day and bring their first-world earnings back to JB. Those electrical huts with the red and blue band around them are also a recognisable feature of the area.
Unless you start using the distance markings between you and other players in the lobby, you can't really win imo. But of course you are a legend in the og maps so that feature might be harder to get used to. Great vid, have fun mate!
I've been playing "no move" lately inspired by this channel. I tried "no move, no pan, and no zoom" but that was a bit too much for a relative n00b like myself. I'm still proud that I got a "no Google" (and with no street signs visible in the shot to assist me) guess that was less than a kilometre off in Brisbane, Australia the other week, since it was obviously Australia but the palm trees looked more tropical than the trees in Sydney.
I guessed Australia at the one before last, amazing job on spotting Singapore I would have really never guessed it the next one I though Spain and Turkey and it was the latter. Something about the harsh sun, forested low mountains, Mediterranean coastal feel to it but yeah not easy without panning. Really love your videos! Keep it up.
"Great guess by Anna Maria, Out in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near a motorway" Show some mercy lad
Okay. A bit of a tip for GeoWizard: The distance to next person can tell you a lot. Say this last game in Turkey. You are 6000 miles away from the person in front of you on you first guess. This means they are 6000 miles closer to the spot. You guess Albania and is now only 200 miles behind the next person. This tells you that if you guess 200+ miles in the right cardinal direction you will end up closer than them (you need to get a grip on how many miles certain distances is on a map, might be a good idea to look at a map that has distances written out). Try east/west. Or north/south. If anything changes on the board between you and the next person, then you need to go further that way to get closer to the goal.
I try to picture a radius around you or a bubble of sorts. If the next person is 50 miles away, they are somewhere on the border of a bubble around your guess with a radius of 50 miles. If one way doesn't get you closer then try the other way. All will go well as long as you dont confuse 50 miles with 500 miles. You only need to get slightly closer than the next person anyway, so why overdo it and risk getting way beyond where you need to go.
I hope this was somewhat easy to understand. I see you struggling a bit with this and just wanted to help. You are usually a genius in recognizing and finding places but in this game mode you need to learn to estimate distances and use logic to ascertain what you need to do in relation to the other guessers. Cheers and good luck!
Are we not going to talk about how searching for Tom Davies brings up "Geo Wanker"? Hahahaha funniest little Easter egg.
Hi Tom! I was in the last round you played here (masonmbostock), it was my first game of the day and I was so excited to be in the same game as you. All week I’ve been thinking “omg, I’ve made a fool of myself by placing 9th” to just watch this video to see that you weren’t even moving, panning or zooming... now I’m extra embarrassed.
But, great vid as always!! 😃
Wow that nethetlands nmpz round was amazing i live 12 km north of that!
Brazil loves you, mate. You should try a perfect game in Brazil
I'm gonna predict before watching and say yes... Stay tuned to see if I'm wrong.
edit: no :')
I predict no... gl
Title says no
I also predict no
I think yes
17:30 says "Heemskerk" right there on the wind turbine ;)
''apparently me nans on here'' 😂
And his son. So unexpected
Greatest intro to a CZcams video ever
it was fun being in a lobby with you man, GGS!
A hint for the signs in Malaysia and Indonesia, Jalan means road, and is sometimes written as jl. on road signs, and then arabic-looking Jawi script means it's probably Malaysia
2:24 "we've got one silva". yeah, you bernardo!
I saw the same as you on the last one, and i knew it was turkey straight away. The tents over crops screamed turkey. Same as the gravel miced with green trees and mountains
Yes, more of these videos please Tom. Quite entertianing.
One thing that makes Brazil standout on first glance is the style of graffiti lettering (favela) which is covered on most buildings. Kinda mad as they climb up these like 10 story building on outside just going up the window bars, worth checking out.
Tom not paying attention to the distances is miffing me
King of intros, Tom. Truly.
Its amaizing how when you play with insting you make much better guesses than with logic
I don't know if you noticed or forgot, but you can use the 'how many miles away from the best guess are you' at the right to figure out if you're guessing closer or further away when scattering. For example I noticed in the Turkey round that when you guessed in Mexico you were 6,000 miles away from the closest guess, meaning on the other side of the world, so you closely guessed Albania and it then showed that you were only 200 miles away, meaning it's probably somewhere close to that area, presumabely Turkey, because I at least couldn't think of any similar-looking place in another direction 200 miles from Albania.
You probably knew this but sometimes when you forget you lose the game haha!
This may be my favorite series!
I'd love to see more
everyone stop what youre doing, tom has uploaded
it is really weird to see some random guy on youtube playing geoguessr and landing on my street at belo horizonte
The finger tapping is strong in this one
a little bit annoying for me
Tom the no moving rounds were so impressive. Main takeaway is that you need to understand how the distance ranking system works. You seemed to get it in earlier rounds, but that last round you showed you don’t quite get it at all. I’d love to see more of these where you understand and use your opponents distances to your own advantage
Nice Singapore guess 😁 but I do think Singapore has no electric poles or overhead lines in their country so this might be a helpful clue.
the first round was right by my house in the Bronx. on Webster lol, wow that’s crazy. great video man!
Tom you gotta use the distance between other players to your advantage. At a certain point you were only 20~miles away from the person ahead of you and you started making guesses very far from your position. If ppl are that close to your guess then it's probably something nearby. Likewise if you're in like second and the first guess is 300 miles away then you know you're in the wrong area by a good margin
18:27 "Yeah, I'm thinking coastal Romania, idk, based on the...blue sky" 😂
Fax
You could probably beat me blindfolded at this game but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOOK AT THE DISTANCE DIFFERNECES AND HOW EACH GUESS AFFECTS IT!!!
it tells you if you're hotter or colder
