honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 This should be pretty simple. I'll think up a common phrase* from the books and give you the number of words in it.You can then start reeling off guesses (one per post) and any one poster must wait for my reply - "yea" or "nay" before asking again.oryou name a letter and ask if it is in the phrase.if "yes",I'll tell you how many times the letter appears and where in the phrase, but not where in the word - that would make it too easy. :)andYou'll get to ask another letter.if "no"two posters must ask for the same letter before I will answer. If that letter is not there, then 3 posters asking and so on. The poster who correctly guesses, comes up with the next phrase. First entry: 3 word phrase common throughout Westeros. * we should allow house words as well, I'm thinking.

honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 What???? That was too damn easy! But congratulations! Your turn to come up with one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 :lol: I'm guessing you wanted it to go on a little longer at least. Right, okay. I don't even fully understand the whole letter-guessing part but I'll give it a go. 2nd entry: 6 word phrase spoken mainly in one particular area.

honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have one in mind, but I'm going to ask a letter first: is there an "e" in the phrase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Words 3, 5 and 6 have an "e" in them. Word 5 has two "e"s in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cool!Glad I asked. It's not the phrase I was thinking. Is it, "What is dead may never die"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yep :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hmm this may not be tough enough, but let me do some digging. I just expanded the rules above to include house words. That'll widen/deepen the pool and make the game tougher. entry #3Four word phrase (sorry, that's all I'm giving :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Is it, "Dark wings, dark words?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Is it, "Dark wings, dark words?" That was my first thought, which was why I asked if there's an "a" in the phrase. HC says there are two but they're in words 2 and 4. I then had some house words in mind but the "e"s don't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lyman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Now Hear me roar! Highly doubtful though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Is it, "Dark wings, dark words?" No. Is there an "s" in the phrase? No. As per the rules it will now take two players asking for the same letter for me to reveal it. Now Hear me roar! Highly doubtful though It is not "Now hear me roar."
