Acrophobia #12. Congratulations to the Winner: a shadow!

[lil' ghost]

I really like the entries this round, and it's hard to choose. I know we can choose and then make changes, an idea I personally find distressing because I know for sure how much everyone wants at least one vote (one time I had one vote only and the person changed their mind, it was heartbreaking!).

So.. You're saying be aware I might change my votes? (lolol) or just making a general statement?

[Fragile Bird]

Actually, I'm saying I'm not going to change my votes. :)

[lil' ghost]

Actually, I'm saying I'm not going to change my votes. :)

I'm the same, once I vote it's locked in.

[a free shadow]

Unexpected points :ninja: Thank you for the good things that were said though.

When I placed my vote, I did think that I could be voting for any entry and be happy about it -- which I never rarely think. I did not look through other votes, so the result is a surprise and also it will not happen again, I'm very sure :ninja:

first 5. Loyally overlooks Princely epiphany. Wall needs Snow!

second 7. Lonely orphan’s pedigree emerges – Westeros’s new saviour.

third 3. Lonely orphan Prince eventually wins. Naysayers screwed!

[Castellan]

#1 5. Loyally overlooks Princely epiphany. Wall needs Snow! seems likely

#2 2. Longterm outlook predicted. Erratic Weather – no Snow.

#3 9. Living on promise, educated within nipping Snows.

[Woofless]

First 7. Lonely orphan’s pedigree emerges – Westeros’s new saviour.

Second 1. Life over? Perhaps ensorcelled. Whitewalkers new saviour!!

Third 4. Lyanna’s offspring presumed expired. Wolf now Snow.

[Lady Blizzardborn]

My votes...

1. 3. Lonely orphan prince eventually wins. Naysayers screwed! Love this one.

2. 2. Longterm outlook predicted. Erratic weather -- no Snow. Best use of a weather forecast. Seriously, that's funny!

3. 4. Lyanna's offspring presumed expired. Wolf now Snow. Thank you for saying "presumed." Jon Snow lives!

Honorable mentions specifically to 6, 7, and 8 (which cracked me up, but he's not dead!).

[Dolorous Gabe]

1st) 7. Lonely orphan’s pedigree emerges – Westeros’s new saviour.

2nd) 9. Living on promise, educated within nipping Snows.

HMs to all. Hugely creative entries all round, though none really say a great deal about Jon as a potential player in the Game Of Thrones.

2nd 8. Late orphan prince. Epitaph – Wasn’t Ned’s Son

[Emmit]

Each round, you will be given a character from ASOIAF. She/he will be a living character with some chance of winning the throne by the end of the story (some may not even know they are in the game), or in some cases may already have a piece of it and be clinging for dear life. You may assess that character's chances of winning the game, discuss their methodology for playing, or analyze how good/bad they are at it.

I used the quoted as my guidelines. There were some great entries that had only tenuous connections to their ability to gain/hold the throne.

First 2. Longterm outlook predicted. Erratic Weather – no Snow. Very clever (so clever I am willing to overlook "longterm" as one word)

Second 3. Lonely orphan Prince eventually wins. Naysayers screwed!

Third 7. Lonely orphan’s pedigree emerges – Westeros’s new saviour.

[Lady Blizzardborn]

HC, did you get my message?

[honeyed chicken]

HC, did you get my message?

Yes! Glad to see you are joining. How did your writing competition go, or is it too soon to know?

[Lady Blizzardborn]

Not really a competition, except against myself. I'm one of many winners. I did not finish the draft (goal 2) but I did keep from stressing about the event (goal 1). So overall it was a positive. I ran a newbies group again, which was nice.
