Acrophobia #11 - Animal Life in Westeros Round Won by Dolorous Gabe


Fragile Bird

Recommended Posts

Welcome to edition #11 of Acrophobia :cheers:

In this edition of Acrophobia you get to tell us certain facts about animals who live or have lived in Westeros. I will provide an animal, bird, fish, or bug (my list is not yet complete) for each round and ask you something about the creature. I might even ask you to respond from the critter's point of view. :P

I will try to choose creatures that should be familiar to you all so you do not have to fret over what to say. :) Or overly fret, anyway!

Brand new players are absolutely welcome into our wonderful world brought to the forum originally by Emmit, for which we are all eternally grateful :cheers:

Here are the rules:

1. There will be 7 rounds. Each round, you will be given an animal and some kind of scenario into which you are transported with the chance to say or do something or explain something.. Creativity, cleverness, and humour are usually what the voters respond best to.


  • 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 Fragile Bird. Please title your PM Acrophobia 11 - <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 in a new reply.

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.


5. Players will then have ~48 hours to vote for their favourite entry.


  • 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 submissions number (each round each submission will be numbered).

For example:

1. <Submission #> Best explanation
2. <Submission #> Second best explanation
3. <Submission #> Third best explanation


  • 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.

ROUND 1

Dragons

Letters - WTIDLS

So....just how do you train a dragon?

DEADLINE: Friday, October 24th, 10:00 pm Toronto time

An extra day to get your head around animals and out of prophecies.

Question...

Were you wanting us to answer the question "How do you train a dragon?" Or is this just flavor and we can put any dragon-centric entry we want?

Emmit, you can write from the trainer's POV or the dragon's!

Dolorous Gabe, who goes to Florida in hurricane season? :P I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

LOL I was under the impression hurricane season was more in September?

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal is the main draw for going at this time of year.

Technically, it could go on as late as November 15, but the last decade has been quite quiet and has usually ended by the end of October. For the last three years (not this year, alas) I've gone on a cruise at the end of October. Two years ago our cruise was totally rearranged because of Hurricane Sandy.

These are really good letters.

I have done something I don't usually do... I have already come up with 10 possibles. I usually come up with one and refine until it's mediocre and leave it alone.

Weird, huh. Great letters.

Joining in this one.

Thanks for hostIng Fragile!. Well done to Lady B for the win too.

Thanks. :blushing: :D

I'll attack this tomorrow. So tired the only thing I've come up with so far is "With treats, idiot! Damn landed simpleton." My first reaction to the letters is often useless as you can see.
