Well, I've realized that most of you will be busy with the Thanksgiving celebrations this week, so I've decided to extend the deadline. How about

10 a.m. (Central European Time) on Sunday, 27th November?

Will that give you enough time?

Thanks Julia!  That should be plenty.

Happy thanksgiving everyone :D

Curse you all with your inability to forego top priorities like planning a feast. Mine was excellent. Pie was quite good too.

Pie at my house was the best. We have a generations-old family recipe that is a guarded secret and has never been surpassed for excellence of taste.

ROUND 3 AUTHORS AND RESULTS

3. Kinslayer!!!  Ill-made spiteful oaf.  Commit suicide, Imp!     Howlin' Howland    1+1+2=4

4. Kinslaying is sometimes opportune, causes severe introspection.   Raisin(g) Bran 2 Greenseer  1+1+2+3+2=9

5. Kismet is sailing on cursed seaward itinerary.     Dolorous Gabe   1+1+1+3+1=7

6. killing isn’t strategy.. oversight!  ..choose SOARING instead..  lil' ghost  1+1+2+2+3+2=11

9. King's imprint soured ovum. Chimera's sanguinely interesting.  Castellan   1+1+1+3+3+4=13

10. Kleptocracy is surely our choice, son! Indubitably!    Nasty Fragile Bird   1+1+3=5

 

STANDINGS

2. Howlin' Howland                    30+4=34

3-4. lil' ghost                                15+11=26

        rocksniffer                            22+4=26

9-10. delspark                            7+7=14

          Dolorous Gabe                  7+7=14

 

This was another strong round with fierce competition, which was eventually won by Castellan, who had produced the entry winning the most first-place votes (two)! However, the overall first place is still held by Raisin(g) Bran 2 Greenseer, who is now running well ahead of the chasing Howlin' Howland. The race for the third place is quite fierce, too, with lil'ghost and rocksniffer running side by side, closely followed by Destiel's Child and Castellan.

Please, check your scores, as always.

ROUND 5

Two men from two different eras. Two extraordinarily handsome men, two legendary swordsmen, anointed knights. Both had a duty and a king to guard.

Each was in incestuous love with his sister, who was married to the king, and each had a reason to resent the way the king treated the queen. Both men were rumoured to have fathered a bastard child / bastard children passed off as the king's child / children. (We know the rumour was true in the case of one of them at least.) 

Each of them rose to become Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, serving several kings in succession.

One of them died to protect his last and ungrateful king. The other one killed his first king and lived to tell the tale.

Suppose that one day Jaime Lannister, Kingslayer and Kingsguard, secretly the queen’s lover and father of her children, glanced into the White Book and found there a mysterious, magical message sent to him by the long-dead Aemon Targaryen, the Dragonknight, hero of song and legend - what would he read in that message?  

What message would Aemon Targaryen the Dragonknight send to Jaime Lannister?

Your acronym: P A R A N C S N O K

Deadline for submissions:

11 p.m. Central European Time on Friday 2nd December

For a while... I'll let you know at the end of the game. Of course, in the meantime, you are free to guess. :read:
