Julia H. Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I know I have totally mixed up the traditional order of things here. That's what happens when I'm trying to do serious things late at night or early in the morning. Anyway, here are now the entries and authors of Round 1, and their scores: 1. I guarantee - for thine equanimity - absent infidelity, permanent amiability. (Aegon the Poached) 1+1+3=5 2. In gratitude for this espousal arrangement I pledge alliance. (Howlin’ Howland) 1+1+1+1+1+3+3+1=12 3. I'm game for trout. Even-keeled attitude is perfectly acceptable. (Lady Blizzardborn) 1+1+1+2+1+3+2+1+3=15 4. I guarantee fucking thee ... er ... and I purpose affection. (Yomi) 1+1=2 5. I get freaky. Thanks Eddard. And I prophesy.. Asshole. (PyroclasticFlow) 1+1+1=3 6. I'm given faithfully, true. Ever. Always. I promise. Amen. (Ser Not Appearing) 1+3=4 7. Invoking Gods’ favor, to Eddard abidingly I pledge affection (Night’sQueen) 1+12+3+2+1+1+2=13 8. I give freely, today...everyday...although I'd promised another. (Rocksniffer) 1+1+3+1+1+2+1=10 9. I'll give faithfully, take earnestly, and indulge passion absolutely. (Emmit) 1+1+1+2+3=8 10. I give fully to eternity. (Although, I prefer another..) (lil’ghost) 1+1+1+1+2+1+1+1+1=10 11. I give forever truths, except an intimately promised assignment. (Dolorous Gabe) 1+1+3+2+3+2+3+4=19 12. I guarantee fidelity to Eddard, ... and I protect all. (Castellan) 1+1+2+1+2+1=8 Standings: 1. Dolorous Gabe 19 2. Lady Blizzardborn 15 3. Night'sQueen 13 4. Howlin Howland 12 5-6. Rocksniffer 10 5-6. lil'ghost 10 7-8. Emmit 8 7-8. Castellan 8 9. Aegon the Poached 5 10. Ser Not Appearing 4 11. PyroclasticFlow 3 12. Yomi 2 13. Fragile Bird 1 The first round is won by Dolorous Gabe with a wedding vow that proves not only Eddard's famous honour but also his prophetic ability (he apparently foresaw that he would undertake an intimately promised assignment several months later). The runner-up is Lady Blizzardborn: The twin vows she constructed for Catelyn and Eddard indicate the nature of their future relationship. The third place is held by Night'sQueen, whose entry is a beautifully composed promise made by the dutiful, young bride. They all must watch out for the chasing pack, led by Howlin' Howland, close on their heels. The third round will start soon. Good luck to everyone!

Julia H. Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 ROUND 3 For a young maiden, Margaery Tyrell has had a surprisingly high number of husbands. So far she has married King Renly, King Joffrey and King Tommen (she is careful to marry only kings). That means she knows more about wedding vows than most young women of her age. Your task now is to reveal Margaery’s favourite wedding vow, or, if you prefer to approach the topic from a different angle, you can also reveal the vow taken by one of Margaery’s three husbands – the choice is yours. The acronym is: C O P H H R D I A. The deadline for voting and for the submissions is: 11 p.m. (Central European Time) Saturday, the 28th of May.

Dolorous Gabe Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I kept expecting someone to point that out, especially after votes started coming in for it. Edited to add: thank you for the votes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Tough to choose. Many excellent entries this round. First: 4. Dragons appear wild, true, yet rarely beasts at heart. Second: 5. Duty, ardor, with these your royal brother anticipates happiness. Third: 7. Dragons are we - triumphant, young, resplendent. Blending aflame hearts. Fourth: 10. Devoted affection warms the years...Rare beauty arouses hearts! My top three could easily have ended up in any other order. All would have deserved the full three points.
