To see the results of the last game, you can click on the thread here: (http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/113785-asoiaf-guessing-game-xiii-favorite-sigil/page-1)The topic for this round is Most Tragic Character The Rules: The game begins by you sending me a list of your favorite 20 tragic characters in a PM. Send in your lists by September 1st, 12:05 A.M. 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.

Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think that you should change the sigils in the text. Anyway. List sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lyman Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm going to find a way to fix that. I want it to say House Sigils with it being the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think JQC was referring to the fact that all your instructions still say it is a game of guessing house sigils. Its a tad confusing I'm going to find a way to fix that. I want it to say House Sigils with it being the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tad confusing I suppose thats what I get for trying to take a shortcut. I hope its not a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeburners Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi! Kudos to Lyanna less than 3*Rhaegar for hosting such a great game! I imagine this will be an interesting game, considering people have very different notions of tragedy, and some will choose very unsympathetic characters while others won't touch them. I have a few questions... can we pick nameless characters who have lines? (For example, there's the stableboy that Arya skewered in GoT.) Also, do they have to be human? (For example, there's the Harrenhall bear whose only crime was trying to eat the wrong human.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lyman Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Dynamic duos included the Direwolves and Dragons, so yes they can be included. While I don't think any nameless characters will make the top 25, if you want to include them go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I imagine this will be an interesting game, considering people have very different notions of tragedy, and some will choose very unsympathetic characters while others won't touch them. Yes I was thinking about that. There not that many characters that fit a classic idea of tragic - fatal flaw and all that. (Only one or two people in my opinion!) I expect it will just be people suffering horrible fates, who we sympathise with, who make up the top 20. I am projecting to what I think will happen to some people in the next book, by the way. Can foresee some sad arcs for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned this, I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lyman Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hey guys, keep in mind that some of the characters have the same name, so just make sure you distinguish which one you are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 List sent! :D If I knew the name of the girl who traveled with Arya in the Riverlands and kept whispering "please", I would have included her. Thanks for hosting, Lord Lyman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
