Points given to the host: 8 points ... except sniffer, no one seems to like talking to me anymore :(

 

 

 

Ranking after 4 rounds:

 

1.   SWMBO   158

2.   Fragile Bird   155

3.   Castellan   149

4.   Night's Queen   137

5.   Julia H.   128

6.   rocksniffer   127

7.   a shadow  117

8.   SNA   91

9.   Dolorous Gabe   90

10. Lady Blizzardborn   75

11. lil' ghost   69

 

The beginning of the list is pretty much the same as last round, given that both SWMBO and Fragile Bird made 40 points this round. So did Night's Queen, but that only secured her the fourth place, because Castellan did well enough this round and had enough points from previous rounds to remain on rank 3.

Just so that you know.

Whoever wrote number 7?  I hate you. 

:P

Let the records show that this was written by Fragile Bird.

rocksniffer, disregarding the futile attempt at backtracking, I would like to prompt you for a response ;)

 

On another note, apologies to everyone for my lack of participation. I lost interest through personal circumstances. I hope to be ready to participate fully again by the start of the next game.

And apologies again to our lovely host.

Vote for your favourite round 5 hint!


 

1. Cautiously governing rebellious, unruly marches.   -   House Swann

This is in reference to the word cautious in the House Swann wiki and the fact that they ruled the Red Watch and part of the Dornish Marches


 

2. Idea transporters, weirwood, escutcheon, scarlet   -   House Blackwood

Describes their coat of arms:

"A flock of ravens (idea transporters) surrounding a black shield (escutcheon) charged with a dead weirwood (weirwood), on a scarlet field (scarlet)"

 

3. It's tournament wagged eyebrows. Surprises....   -   House Whent


 

4. Icy tribe. Winter's emblazoned star. - House Karstark


 

5. Intimidating, terrorizing warriors...estranged siblings. - House Clegane


 

6. Irrecoverable? Trident. Wyvern's enduring servants. - House Darry

House Darry is extinct in the male line, but maybe it could be remade from the female line. It's a Riverland's house situated at the Trident. They are Targaryen loyalists.

Don't vote for this clue, it's authored by the host.


 

7. Inception: Trustworthy warrior, electrically saved. - House Dondarrion

Hopefully, the only house that started due to a lightning bolt.


 

8. Island troupe won't ever sow. - House Greyjoy


 

9. Crown gained rebelling. Usurpers? Murderer? - House Baratheon


 

10. Iron tribe with emblazoned scythe. - House Harlaw


 

11. Cordoned garrison rewarded underhanded mariner. - House Seaworth


 


 

Theme: Houses whose coat-of-arms is partly black


 


 


 

If you want to add an explanation to your clue or change the current one, you can still try do so.


 

Please vote for your favourite clue via PM until Tuesday, the 31st May, 7 pm Central European time.

Sorry I've been less involved, all. Ended up flying out to care for my father after surgery complications, then our seven week old daughter got sick and we were sent to ER. Fun times. Daughter is OK, father's leg if getting better but still up in the air how bad infection is/was and how they will heal long term.

Anywho, hopefully I'm back in and involved these next few rounds.
