Greetings! Welcome to the 8th edition of Acrophobia!



My little game is all grown up! *sniff*



Previous Acrophbia games // their winners:


The theme of this game will be Little Known Facts About the Reeds. Really, is there any House more enigmatic than House Reed? As a young man, Lord Howland saves Eddard Stark's life and becomes part of the greatest conspiracy in the Seven Kingdoms -- after which he completely disappears. His wife Jyana is named, but we know precious little else about her. His kids, Meera and Jojen take part in perhaps the most important story line in the series, yet all we know is that Meera is tough and Jojen is creepy.



Let's fix this together. I will provide a topic, and you will make up a fact. That's right folks, I am giving you free reign to make shit up. We can only hope that the best of these can be added to the World Book before it ships!





Here are the rules:



1. There will be 7 rounds. The theme of each round will be little known fact about the Reeds. Your job is to take the acronym provided and assign a word to each letter to form your entry. Creativity, cleverness, and humor will usually win, at least, a point.



  • Entries must only contain words that begin with the letters the Acronym provided; therefore, you may not stick in a word like a, the, of, and, etc or &, @. to make your answer make sense. Players will be asked to re-submit their answer if this happens. However, punctuation may be used, which may help increase meaning.



2. Players will most often be given ~48 hours for entries each round. I will try to avoid 48 hour periods taking place solely over weekends, as a result, some deadlines may be extended. This is due to prior game having extended deadlines so everyone could participate.



3. Entries should be PM'd to the game host Emmit. Please title your PM Acrophobia 8 - <insert your Board Name> and keep all communication to one thread so the host's inbox does not reach overload.



  • You may edit/change your entry until the submissions window is closed, just be sure to let me know.



4. When all submissions are in, I will post them on this thread.



  • Entries are to be anonymous, so don't reveal which is your entry. Revealed entries will be disqualified.




I am trying my hand at this top three entry thing. You may begin praying now!


5. Players will then have ~48 hours to vote for their favorite answer.



  • Please vote in thread by putting your favorite entry first, preceded by the numeral 1. Then put your second choice preceded by the numeral 2. Finally put your third ranked entry third, preceded by the numeral 3. Please bold your selections and include the submission’s number (each round each submission will be numbered).



For example:



1. <Submission #> Best Reed fact


2. <Submission #> Second best Reed fact


3. <Submission #> Third best Reed fact



  • You may not, of course, vote for your own entry.




  • You may change your vote up until the voting window closes by editing your original voting post.



6. After Round 1 submissions are over, voting and the submissions for a new round will run simultaneously.



7. Points will be awarded as follows:



  • 1 point for a submission




  • 1 point for voting




  • 3 points for someone choosing your answer as their top choice




  • 2 points for someone choosing your answer as their second choice




  • 1 point for someone choosing your answer as their third choice




  • 4 points for having the answer with the most 1st place votes




  • Points will be added across the 7 rounds and the person with the most points will be the winner



8, New players may join at any time, both during the submission and voting.



If you have any questions, comments or concerns please PM me. Or if I totally bork up the score, please point it out!

Round 1



We know that the seat of House Reed is Greywater Watch. We know that Greywater Watch moves. We don't know how.



Tell how Greywater Watch moves.



Letters: NCBBHA



Random letter generators love Q, X, and Z... so I took them out.



Deadline is Tuesday evening - August 5 - unless it's later. I will start tallying votes about 7:00 p.m. Central (Chicago/Houston) Time - unless I put it off.
