BLOW THE HORNS!!! 3 TIMES!!!

Crikey, I’ve been drinking out of the horns all day. Give me a moment to chug-a-lug, a quick rinse, and we are ready to blow. 

If only I had one of those dragon glasses...

PASSAGE THREE ANSWERS

 

1 Secretly tallies bare threads

Arya Stark

(Arya lists the people she intends to use Needle on)

 

2 Lonely rider overtaken. Dark.

Jon Snow

(Jon rides from CB to join Robb's army but is chased and brought back by his friends)

 

3 Lowlifes' revolt orchestrated death

Jeor Mormont

(the lowlifes of the NW target and kill Jeor in their mutiny)

 

4 Lord...Reserved...Outplayed...Decollated.

Ned Stark

(Ned: reserved Lord played the game and lost his head)

 

5 Soft tones breed treason.

Roose Bolton

(Roose talks very softly and surprisingly, then plots against the King in the North.

 

6 Stubbed toes betoken troubles.

Theon Greyjoy

(toes become stubs for this highly troubled character)

 

7 'Sword!!!' told (believably) to...

Catelyn Stark

(Lady Stoneheart hears Brienne say a word, confirmed by GRRM to be “sword”)

 

Theme: characters who have spoken the words “winter is coming” on page.

Well, my first hints were references to myself being in Winterfell awaiting winter whilst you were voyaging. I then reminded stalwarts and informed newbies that I once did a theme about characters who had said “words are wind”. Then I had the narrative suggest winter being on its way or already here.

A number of players did get it.

 

Right, battle begins and will end once all votes are in for favourite clue. Please vote ASAP, let's be done with this battle.

SIGNING UP

If you would like to be a voyager in this noble quest to places mapped and unmapped, please send your host – Dolorous Gabe – a PM entitled “Acrophilia 16: [your board name]” and I will place you in the lists and provide you with a ship and crew with which to set sail before winter arrives.

Very vaguely hinted at all three themes in the very first post :P

@Ser Not Appearing...if i beat you because you jerked off and missed deadline, i shall be forced to insult you

 

:smoking:

No fair peeking.

In my defense ... I don't have one. I mean I did try to log on at the last second and somehow managed to botch my password enough times that they locked my account, but that's hardly justification.

I was not expecting the level of mind-buggery this game would provide.  I'm hooked. :D

Welcome to the club!

We must learn to carefully scrutinize every single word you utter here. :read:

a free shadow has just guessed every author of the R3 clues correctly :o

Whilst we await the final remaining votes to come in, do feel free to have a go yourselves. You won't be able to change your favourite vote after learning the authors though.

Wow. I have a couple of guesses myself, but to guess all of them correctly... That's uncanny. :bowdown: Well done.

How? How?

Experience and careful observation of your fellow players from game to game, I guess... Or something much more mysterious that only a free shadow can do. :dunno:
