The Rubicon? Yes.

Epic one there

I should have just said "river" off the bat, that would have been a better start.

I don't get it... Is there any other Rubicon besides the river?

Yes, the idiom regarding Caesar.

Meaning "crossed the point of no return", because that when Caesar went across it, it was a signal that Rome was being invaded.

this one was too tough... :(

Yeah I was kinda trying to imply that when people say "Rubicon" they are just as likely to be talking about Caesar basically as they are to be talking about the real place, especially since it's small.

Oh well.

I think we might have to plan to AVOID GoJay's schedule hhaha

Hm, I see now. We don't have that expression in my culture, so that never crossed my mind at all.

You're prone to these risks by playing international games, I suppose =D

Somehow I don't think I've ever heard that phrase in my 22 years on this here planet... Ah well, there's still a handful of questions to possibly answer yet :P (and probably more to learn about geography and history along the way xD)

Ohhh I'm sorry. Yeah, that does suck... gr. Ok, from here on in straight up geography so there's none of that.

Yes but I have to go to sleep some time, and that's your time to strike!

Nah, It's fine.

Well, I gotta go now. I will be pretty busy for the next 2 days, so I don't know if I will be able to keep it up, but we'll see.

See ya later!

And thanks for the fun games =)

Ohhhh sorry to hear that!!! :(

7/25: (4 pts.)

This city was once the capital of a powerful ancient empire. Today, it no longer exists. However, other cities nearby have been named after it. Curiously, the city's location lies outside of the country that is named after the empire in question. What city is (was) it?

[ORIGINAL capital, it had more than one]
