Castellan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Welcome! Guessing has at last begun. Anyone can guess, you don't have to have sent a chapter.

The rulesThe game begins by each player sending me a PM with your top 20 lists. Please title them 'ASOIAF Guessing Game XVI - Your board name'. Send as soon as you can. The chapter you rank #1 will be given 25 points. After that the chapters in the list get 19, 18, 17 points, so on, until the chapter you put down as your #20 gets 1 point. In every round (excluding top 5) you'll be given a hint to identify the chapter. You can either gamble by nominating one chapter only, 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. Each round will last about 48 hours. We can discuss scores for final 5 once we get there. You can get an idea by looking at recent games. :) I think for this game I'd like to drop the special scoring for tied chapters. But if people want to keep it, let me know. Otherwise, for tied chapters, I'll just rank the one that was nominated by the most people higher. You can join in this game anytime, it doesn't matter if you sent a list on or not. And if you sent it, you don't have to guess if you don't want to. The more lists the better! Once we start the guessing rounds, I'll add a list of each round's chapter here, and hope I remember to keep it updated. If not, please remind me.

honeyed chicken Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Great topic, Castellan.It's going to take a lot of research for me to put a list together. Until I look through the book chapter by chapter, I'll have no idea what my favorites are . . . I've read them all, of course. It's just that I've never really considered this question in an organized way.My first impulse is to put down chapters like Ned's beheading & the Red Wedding - but those aren't favorites, they're most memorable. So, favorite is going to be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have 45 chapters picked out . . . ranking them is not going to be easy. I'm not sure I can even pick a favorite, let alone a second one after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have added up the lists sent in and its pretty interesting results but I think we need more than eight players. So, Sign up for the first GG of 2015 and have a say in our official result - the favourite chapter in ASOIF. I tried making my own list and got to 13 off the top of my head, its not that hard to make a list from your #1 to your # 20 and PM it to me. See the first post for game rules.
