Julia H. Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've been too busy this Sunday. I'll come back with the results as soon as I can, but it will take a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 And here I was thinking that I had to post the results of the round next - when we haven't even had a favourite clue vote! So here are the answers finally, so you can vote for your favourite clue: ROUND 4 ANSWERS Theme: Subjects of unproven sexual gossip or accusation 1. Ordinarily not dumb - honor, unfortunately, made deadly ending. Ned Stark (rumours concerning Jon Snow's mother - Ashara Dayne, Wylla etc.) 2. Otherworldly named dummy humps underwhelming monarch dame. Evidently. Moon Boy (Tyrion's insinuation regarding Cersei and Moon Boy becomes an issue for Jaime) 3. With knife irritating pharynx, invigorated. Catelyn Stark (Littlefinger keeps boasting about having taken her maidenhead - but it's not true) 4. On nuptial dalliance, hers undermined - "moppets damned evermore!" Selyse Baratheon (rumours concerning Patchface) 5. Wife. Killer infant prevails, infamously. Joanna Lannister (unproven rumours concerning King Aerys) 6. Oblivious narcissistic daughter hastens unwittingly mystic's dire extrapolations. Cersei Lannister (while the main rumours about her are well founded, the Moon Boy joke is probably untrue) 7. Obliging nymph declares honor under "mother's" duplicitous exprobation. Margaery Tyrell (accused of having had sex with a number of men - at least some of the accusations must be lies) 8. Oh!? Notably "dangerous" ? ...him...? Unbelievable! Mouths ditties everlasting. Patchface (rumours concerning Cersei) 9. Women’s kingly “instructor”. Poetic imprisonment. Jalabhar Xho (one of the men imprisoned as Margaery's alleged lovers - the accusation is based on the confessions of the tortured Blue Bard - hence poetic - and kingly instructor because he was teaching Margaery and her maids the Summer Tongue) 10. "Wench kept innumerable partners inspired." Ashara Dayne (rumours about Ned and maybe others - the clue refers to her dancing with various partners in Harrenhal according to Howland Reed's account of the event, told to Bran by Meera Reed) Please, note that clues #9 and #10 are not eligible for votes. Vote for your favourite clue until 8 p.m. (Central European Time) on Wednesday, 18th January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further congratulations to Fragile Bird and rocksniffer, who also managed to find all the characters from Ashara Dayne to Jalabhar Xho, and solved the theme as well, and to Raisin' Bran, who finished the round with the third highest score (missing only one character) and climbed to fourth place, being now only two points behind Castellan. The last round will begin soon. (Don't go away.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I still haven't received all the clues, and that's why I haven't started the new round yet... I think I'll have to make some more clues myself now.

Fragile Bird Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I kept checking and never saw a notification, for some reason nothing was coming up. Weird. I see I will never catch up to SWMBO. What a powerhouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 SWMBO is rocking it this game! I forgot we still had another round to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 ROUND 5 I'm sorry about the delay, but finally here are the entries for the last round: 1. Relishes entangling things. Woman: A channel blowable. 2. Remembers entryway to where? (A citrus brainteaser.) 3. Reinterprets executions. The World’s assiduous chronicler. Biased. 4. Stupid royal emo lost. 5. Regularly envisions tragedy - water...attacks...cave...beheading. 6. Sentinel riser espies lions. 7. Advocating education, sends exaggerated coward always High-er. 8. She's revived egregious liquidation. 9. Reportedly eternal. Truly? Wyvern attack consumes bodies. 10. Awkward event - sinister emissions creating achromatic handiwork. Theme: ??? Regarding the entries: In this round you may have to identify a character who is not mentioned in the main series. The answer to another one of the clues is not one person but a group. Regarding the theme: With the theme, the wiki may not be of much help this time, however, A Search of Ice and Fire can be very useful. Perhaps the best way is to start by doing some rereading (in the actual text) about some of the characters to see whether anything interesting stands out. Good luck!
