lil' ghost Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Welcome to Acrophobia #19. Wow, this game has come a long way! As ever, we express our gratitude to Emmit for bringing this wonderful yet frustrating game to the forum. :P This game will be about Newspaper Headlines from events around Planetos. Your goal will be to come up with what you think would be a good/unique/interesting/off-the-wall Newspaper Headline for each event. I think this will be fun and I hope you all will enjoy it! Here are the rules: 1. There will be 7 rounds. If possible. If not, it will end when it ends, unless folks tell me they want it to continue. Who knows, this might be a boring game. 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. Deadlines for each round will be detailed as each round arrives. I will always give 48 hours at the very least. I will also continue with yomi's system of accepting entries after the deadline but not give late entrants their point for submitting. Deadlines may be extended, since the players in this game tend to be forgetful. :P 3. Entries should be PM'd me, your host, lil' ghost. Please title your PM Acrophobia 19 - <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 ~72hours to vote for their favorite 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 2. <Submission #> Second best 3. <Submission #> Third best Depending on the number of entries, there may be 4 or even 5 submission votes. 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 and any additional places 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. Acrophobes, seasoned and green alike, may join at any time, both during the submission and voting. Previous Acrophobia games their winners. Well worth a browse if you're new to the game (sadly, games 1-6 appear to have been deleted).

yomi Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'll try to play, but at least the first 5 minutes of thinking about it led to nothing. I'm mainly struggling with the Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think one will have to make assumptions about whether its a northern or southern newspaper or even one from Essos commenting on those crazy Westerosi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmit Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I was thinking the same thing Castellan. Perhaps next round Lil G might think about telling us the name of the newspaper the headline was in.

Castellan Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not a problem we can all choose an angle, it should be obvious from our entry. I wouldn't mind being given a newspaper in some rounds, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
