Turinqui-Calima Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ladies, gentlemen and any other sentient beings, welcome to the 12th ASOIAF Character Guessing Game! Previous ResultMost Loved Character: Arya StarkMost Hated Character: Ramsay SnowSexiest Character: Jaime Lannister (male) / Arianne Martell (female)Most Badass Character: Asha GreyjoyFunniest Character: Dolorous Edd TolletBest Death: Ned StarkBest Actor/Actress: Charles Dance as Tywin LannisterCharacter You Most Want to Survive: Arya StarkMost Dangerous Character: Petyr 'Littlefinger' BaelishFavorite Minor Character: Sandor CleganeFavorite Historic Character: Dunk Last game was hosted by Arya Kiddin so thank you to him! The topic for this round is Dynamic Duos, so any two characters (including animals) that have a close relationship of any kind. Historic characters are also included. I know there was some talk about the next topic being dead characters you would like to bring back, but I found the spread between the two pretty even and had already thought of a clue or two for this topic. I hope you guys don't mind. And just to be clear, when you guess you have to get both characters in the duo right in order to get any points. The Rules (sticking with Evermind's) The game begins by you sending me a list of your favorite 20 dynamic duos in a PM. Send in your lists by May 22nd at 6.00pm EST. Please name the PM 'Guessing Game - Your board name'. The character you rank 1 - your absolute favorite character will be given 25 points. After that the characters in the list get 19, 18, 17 points, so on that the character you put down as your no 20 gets 1 point. In every round (excluding top 5) you'll be given a hint to identify the character. You can either gamble on a character to obtain 5 points for a correct guess, or you can give three choices in order - and for the correct one you'll be getting three, two or one points respectively. We expect each round to last about 48 hours. If there's a tie, you will need to guess all the tied characters at once, getting 5 points for each one guessed right. We can discuss scores for final 5 once we get there. :) You can join in the guessing anytime, doesn't matter if you sent the list on or not. And if you sent it, you don't have to guess if you don't want to, it's totally fine. If I forgot something, let me know, and if you have some objections, write it down here. Result so far: 25. Sam and Gilly23. Arya and Jaqen23. Shireen and Patchface22. Jaime and Tyrion21. Dany and Drogon---19. Jojen and Meera19. Robb and Grey Wind18. Rhaegar and Lyanna17. Bran and Summer16.

Jon's Queen Consort Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ships are in? People who died during RR are out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I expect this to be one of the hardest games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turinqui-Calima Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ships are in? People who died during RR are out? Correct on both, although if you guys want to include historic characters I have no problem changing that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ships are in?I've read your intro several times and all I see is "two characters" - I see no mention of ships. Or do you see a ship as a character? This must be for Asha and the Greyjoys? Anyway!TC, I'm glad you're doing this.Great to get going again and get the brain churning. And here's another question that comes up for me: can one character be part of more than one "dynamic duo", eg Jon/Ygritte, Jon/Ghost, Jon/Sam?

Bori Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 no Rhaegar and Lyanna :( no Blood and Cheese :crying:yes Nedbert :commie: will you give hints for both characters separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Oh, actual ships (large boats) are not in. I thought she meant shipping characters, i.e. SanSan. And yes, you can use characters multiple times. ETA: I am planning on giving one hint for the duo combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's Queen Consort Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Correct on both, although if you guys want to include historic characters I have no problem changing that rule. Me think that the people who have died before RR should be in. A game about couples without D&E is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I second the motion.I still haven't read D&E, but I constantly see how much people love them, so they should be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Done! Historic characters are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I actually think the first rule was better, I mean no RR-characters and no D&E (and I've read D&E). But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night'sQueen Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yea! Thanks for starting the new game TC!! Working on my list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmit Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I guess we should say books only. Imaginary pairings from the show - like Olena and Tywin - are out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have wondered a few times, though never asked. Now I will ask. Would it be for the benefit or opposite of any benefit for the game, if people shared some entries they think are worthy, but others might forget? Without saying where exactly they placed them and without people commenting -- so it would not be clear if anyone else feels the same. I personally feel I must be forgetting some things, because I only managed 7 ideas/entries I remotely care about. At the same time I think that some of them are great, though might not come to mind to other players. Any ruling on sharing before submitting the lists?

Any ruling on sharing before submitting the lists?I'll tell you how I did (well, will do, but writing in future tense is just... wrong) it. I made a list of every single pairing I could think of, then I started picking my favorite; then my least favorite. My favorite; least favorite... until I've used all the pairings. Take the top 25 and voilà!Eta: Clearly I am including pairs I am ambivalent about, and ones I actively dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
