Bustard Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello all :) Another congratulations to Reek Havoc for her impressive victory in the "Most Admirable Character" guessing game. :cheers: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/117557-new-look-at-guessing-games-2-most-admirable/ This time, the theme is "Best Single-Combat Warrior" starting with the reign of King Aerys II. I decided to limit the time scope for those not so familiar with ASOIAF history. Please assume that every character is in his or her prime when you construct your list (i.e. young Barristan, Jaime with two hands.) Characters in Essos are allowed, but direwolves/dragons are not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Format: Round 1:Instead of providing a clue, I will begin by offering the names of #21-#30 in alphabetical order. At this point, participants will submit what they believe to be the most likely order. For every correct guess, the participants receives 5 points. For every guess that is off by 1, the participant receives 3 points. For every guess that is off by 2, the participant receives 1 point. For ties, participants receive 4 points for guessing within range and 2 points for missing the range by 1. (No points awarded for missing range by 2.) Round 2:When the first round of guessing is complete, I will reveal #11-#20 in the same fashion. However, the point values double. Round 3 (Final Round):Again, I will reveal #1-#10 in alphabetical order. The point values do not double again, but increase by the same increment.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game will begin Monday October 20th (one week from today) as long as I receive enough lists. PM me if you'd like to contribute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeburners Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Aw I would have liked to play Most Admirable.... then again, looking at that list, I'm thinking I probably wouldn't have. I mean, I have massive issued with that list. No Septon Meribald? He's like, admirable to the point that it's satirical, nobody in the series even comes close. Also... Tyrion Lannister? Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriously? Haha, well, I guess that's just, like, your opinions man. Anyway, just posting so this appears on my content. :) Will message you the list soon Bustard, thanks for hosting.

Howlin' Howland Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Are we allowed to vote for dragons, dire wolves and white walkers? I'd definitely change my top answer to Drogon or Belarion if that's allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
