Thank goodness, I have until Friday!

[Lady Blizzardborn]

I'm finding three letters to be kind of difficult.

[Woofless]

I'm finding three letters to be kind of difficult.

Very difficult. Nothing makes any sense.

[Castellan]

The particular letters were OK considering there were only three. Could have been a lot worse. Still, I couldn't exactly get any memorable zing in it. Be interesting to see if anyone does it really well.

Howlin' Howland gets for favourite votes (and many other votes, too), which normally should give him a chance to get the extra points for most favourite votes, but not so this round, because Lord Lyman gets an amazing amount of six of them (and some other votes as well). With this Lord Lyman rises from sixth place to first, and Howlin' Howland catapults himself from rank eight to rank two. With a also quiet good round Julia H. rises from fourth to third place, which she shares with our previous leader Reek Havoc. Dolorous Gabe falls to the fifth place, and first rounds winner Bendubz falls to rank eight because you guys didn't get the brilliance of his entry. Nor did you (except SNA) get the brilliance of Fragile Bird's entry.

And check the points. Sums are probably correct, but I might have mixed up some 1st places getting 3 points with some 3rd places getting 1 point, so make sure I got your votes right.

Points! Me luvs 'em. :smug:

Thanks for the votes! :bowdown:

ROUND 4

House Greyjoy


Letters - DNT


Ok, actually the house words "We Do Not Sow" fit King Euron Greyjoy, who intends to reap Dany's dragons and the Seven Kingdoms, quiet well. Instead of using an other House for this round, I go a bit crackpot though. Let's assume some Greenlander managed to bring Euron's rebellion down and killed the Crowseye because none of his bastards seemed like a good hostage ward. The same Greenlander also got his hands on Theon and decided that this brocken young man made just the perfect puppet lord to rule the Iron Islands according to the Greenlander's wishes. Theon agreed to this because he feared he would be given back to Ramsay otherwise. He has just one tiny plea: You see, the Greyjoy house words, they remind him painfully that he will indeed not sow his seed in any woman ever more. So could he, please, get some new house words?



1. Don't Negotiate Trust.
2. Do Not Troll.
3. Drowned, Not Terminated.
4. Drowned, Not Tombed.
5. Descendants? No Testes.
6. Drowned Nobles Triumphant.
7. Drowned! Neutered! Triumphed!
8. Do Not Trust.
9. Darkly Nurtured Triumph.
10. Dreadforted, Now Tougher.
11. Dauntless, Never Tender.
12. Due No Tribute.
13. Diplomacy Needs Thinkers.

14. Death Never Triumphs.

15. Do Not Tarry.

16. Dulled Nagga's Teeth.

17. Don't Need Testicles.

ROUND 5

House Lannister


Letters - OFRLA


The Lannister's house words don't need an update, but they need an improvement. At least in my opinion. I cannot help but interpret "Hear Me Roar!" as a boast about how good they are at boasting, and boasting doesn't seem like a very boastworthy skill to me. If boasting is your most impressive ability, why should I fear you? Boasts probably won't hurt me.

The other proverb about House Lannister, "A Lannister always pays his debts.", is very good, a promise to those who help you and a subtle thread to those who harm you, but sadly in doesn't fit the letters given in this round ;)

Please send in your new submission till Monday, 6th April, 3 pm Central European time. If you need an extension of this deadline, please tell me so, preferably soon.

While I accepted slightly late entries for the Greyjoy round without any penalty, starting with the Lannister round, I will still be adding late entries to the list and they have the chance to get votes, but they won't get the one point for submission of an entry. You'll just get that one point for submitting an entry in time.

[Howlin' Howland]

I'd like to get to know who made the 'Wit makes destiny happen' now, because I could like that person more for longer :ninja:

:)

[Woofless]

Congratulations to Lord Lyman

And to Howlin'

Well done both of you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Fragile Bird]

Wow, congratulations to our leaders! :bowdown: :bowdown:

I'm disappointed that almost no one liked my "We Make Duty Honourable". :bawl: :crying:

First of all, Petyr is certainly not honourable, but he's trying to build his minor House into something grand and glorious. And Petyr is the customs duty collector, so it's a sly play on words.

ETA: it falls under my usual complaint category, making people think too much. :p
