Dolorous Gabe Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Very well, I shall host the next game. But beware, for I feel it would be sensible to warn you all that the dreaded Acro-Demon has visited and is currently forming a terrible curse that will hang heavily over Game 14. I will leave that little teaser for your collective curiosity to wonder on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiel's Child Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks for hosting Sniffer! You have effectively twisted my feeble mind into knots worthy of the boy scout you are. @Dolorous Gabe I think Sniffer's game has shown that I am most definitely more Kimmy Schmidt than Jack Donaghy. I will simply observe until my dignity grows back (hopefully it's faster than my bangs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all planned out so it would just be a case of starting the thread and getting people on board ASAP so it's ready to go not too long after Sniffer's game officially ends. 48 minutes ago, Julia H. said: Just so we all know how long we need to hide out in the Wolfswood or in an underground cave...

I do recommend reading the rules in the next game before making a decision though. It might yet shift the game into a fashion that retains your dignity.

You imply, ser, that I have any left to retain. But, the idea of demons and curses intrigues me. I have encircled myself with salt and am ready to go. Now I just need to figure out what a NaNoWriMo is and we're set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having it removed on the 7th, if not sooner. Just trying to gauge whether I'll be able to play or not. I think I'll go for it. Worst that can happen is I don't win...again. 1 hour ago, Destiel's Child said: Thanks for hosting Sniffer!

Castellan Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It looks like I have been trounced by Fragile Bird, due to my writing an extremely uninspired acro as usual and FB writing a zinger. So that's as it should be. I spent this game battering my skull to guess the clues and themes but will have to do that AND try to improve my across while battling DG's curse next game...

rocksniffer Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 well of course we ended up at a brothel...i mean was there ever any doubt? to everyone stuck it out to this, the final sticky cleanup... FRAGILE BIRD and CASTELLEN played a tough fought game and this round was no exception! FRAGILE BIRD held on to win her second straight round, but not without some help... ...Both of these Ladies were quick to undress my in-thread clues and identify chataya's brothel as an answer and the theme...however CASTELLEN wasted no time in whipping out her answers and theme guess within 12 hrs of my posting of the clues, earning her the 5 bonus points for speed...FRAGILE BIRD engaged in 48 hrs of silent foreplay while she thrashed out the trickiest of clues... a 's yodeling mountaineer (my personal favorite )...before hitting me with the only other perfect list this round...i was amused that she didn't need to ask a single question...even though i had decided pregame that this round would be free ...both Ladies joined DESTIEL'S CHILD in managing to tie-up the uber theme earning them 5 additional points each (more on the grandest of themes in a moment)...BIRD's help came in the form of author points and 6 of y'alls votes for Tyrion's tall shadow as your favorite...Congrats Ladies for taking charge and dominating this dungeon of debauchery... ...round 5 saw JULIA H and LADY BLIZZARDBORN scored 41 and 40 points, respectively...Each turned over every rock to reveal 10 of 11 answers correct and a clear understanding of "where whore's go..." ...JULIA's points secured a strong third place finish in the round, while LADY BLIZZ vaulted into fourth position... ... and even though DESTIEL'S CHILD (aka Stoned Heart) and YOMI scored they struggled to see past the lube to the meat of this round's theme... ...and to the lost boys...DOLOROUS GABE and SER NOT APPEARING...as well as our ethereal and lil' GHOST i am grateful y'all stuck it out, submitting great clues and voting for this round ok so where did that leave us...oh yeah the final standings... FRAGILE BIRD...................209 PTS CASTELLEN.......................206 PTS JULIA H...............................190 PTS LADY BLIZZARDBORN.......157 PTS DOLOROUS GABE............143 PTS YOMI..................................136 PTS DESTIEL'S CHILD..............119 PTS LIL GHOST.........................91 PTS SER NOT APPEARING......77 PTS A .................................60 PTS AEGON THE POACHED went MIA after round one...but was officially a part of our infamous group and scored 7 points so there it is, folks... FRAGILE BIRD has flitted past her competition and scored a 3 point victory with her game high 6 favourite votes for her outstanding clue for my man, Tyrion Lannister...CASTELLEN held strongly to second place by being fast and accurate round after round...and even though JULIA H. put forth a surging effort that saw her fall slightly short she overcame a weak beginning to finish incredibly strong and won round 3 convincingly...LADY BLIZZ locked up fourth place overall when she squeezed past head-philiac, DOLOROUS GABE, as life worked it's magic on both, leaving him to round out top five... ....as to the big picture, the grand uber theme...well it was simple really...A TRIBUTE TO THE GOD OF TITS AND WINE......the random clues hidden through out the thread should have pointed you to episode 8 of AGoT seasons 2 and 3... in both Tyrion utters a line about the god of tits and wine...one of the greatest lines of the show, in my not so humble opinion... so i began by rigging the first three letter acro...odg...god...i expected most to assume i chose it for the dog reference...not so much ...rounds 2 (naked women) and 3 (wine) were direct references to the wording of this twisted idea, while rounds 1,4 and 5 were things i associate with worshiping this particular god - sweet nothings whispered in an ear, discussing cocks, members, johnsons, manhood with a friend or companion, and a palace of ill repute, what better church is there for my chosen deity... i will not replay all of my random words but most were hints to various themes...the most obvious of which was the emos i used in each round...particularly the for round 3 and the pimp for round 5... well i gotta say to one and all thank you for your efforts to make this game a success and for helping me to discover i am a better player than host...i hope you were equally fulfilled and of course leftover lubes and libations are free for the taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just checking in from Belfast..... i am stunned. I was sure Castellan would beat me, I tend to falter at the end. But...writing that clue was a stroke of luck. i want to say that rocksniffer did a fabulous job running the game. Very well done, Ser! . . i, on the other hand, am terrified at the very thought of doing one of these games. Thank-you all, for your votes! Congratulations Castellan for one helluva a game! And congrats to everyone for your fantastic clues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Congrats again to the Bird. Hope you're enjoying Ireland! I must admit I always find at least one week in a 5-round game when I simply cannot muster the effort to play for various reasons. How long do we want before I start up the new game thread? I can start it Sunday evening after returning from partying it up in Liverpool? Might not be in the best mental state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Mr R, This was the most original, fun and addictive game ever. The in-thread hints fascinated me. Whenever I finally got something I'd wonder how I could have failed to get it with that many hints thrown about. The acros were very elegant and difficult. For some reason, the last round clicked easily, though, with shadow's clue the last to solve - and I did love the use of mountaineer once I got it. I found the theme easier to get because we had Allar Deem and Anguy in it - and they have only one thing in common. Prior to that, I floundered about furiously every round. Congratulations to all!
