Castellan Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This ogdoad is driving me crazy. If that's not how you spell it don't tell me so, it will worsen my mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same, until I found an answer that I considered reasonable and which matched my theme idea. I never looked for any other options after that because I didn't think I could come up with another guess for this one. I have a very strong guess for the author though.

I had been driving myself crazy over it, and then the realisation came suddenly in a random flash of understanding that I cannot even recall how it came about. The humour I found was in the absurdity of the moment, so I wouldn't read too much into it. Edit: the one I'm most worried about is the 1st clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was driving me crazy, too, and I looked at the clue from every possible angle - and then something clicked suddenly. The more I think of my guess, the better it seems, but I'm still not sure.

Ser Not Appearing Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Why don't you guys just tell me your answers and I'll let you know if they're the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well, ogdoad confused me on first read, then I found this on wikipedia. The problem is just, that even so, I don't have an answer for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The definition I found for ogdoad was "a group or set of eight." I think I may have just now figured out why DG finds it so hilarious. Have to say that I think I got it right without even getting that part of the joke.

Castellan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I decided to censor my nasty comment otherwise it will sit here like a big scab quelling all comment till Rocksniffer returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I decided to look at the clues and thought: "Oh, that is a great clue!" But then remembered that I got the theme (it was so long ago!), and the answer does not fit the theme. And now I cannot make myself to really look at the clues not only for all the other reasons, but also because the intended answers must be much less interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 When is or was the deadline for this round? Sailor lost at sea? Would hate to have this game literally kill another host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiel's Child Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm not sure I like the words "literally" and "another" above, but I am intrigued. Do tell, Ser. Some juicy gossip will help pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that Sniffer is just suffering from the mother of all hangovers and will be back with us soon. Or has won the lotto and has no need for us....

yomi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well, with 'sniffer we have the advantage that we can try asking SWMBO, if she, being his niece, knows anything... with Rhaena... she started to host the greatest Acrophilia game ever and then she just vanished, leaving us horribly worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those awesomely artistic documents she created for each round. Twas terribly sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 rocksniffer did not make it to WorldCom. He had a family get-together before the con, and then posted that a family member was seriously ill (like, dying) and that family came first. We were greatly disappointed but we understood. I have not seen him post in Facebook at all, so I assume things have not gone well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
