Julia battled hard but could not quite manage to break out. Raisin' Bran gave everything to the cause and Castellan was continually unlucky. Talented newcomer Jez brought style and humour to the proceedings while rocksniffer taunted the frontrunners before trying to reach his rock-bottom goal but was thwarted by the busy and forgetful Ser. Well done all, the Others have been fought off and a new dawn is breaking. a free shadow can claim whatever northern title is desired and has the opportunity to bestow northern lands and a fancy new title to all the voyagers.

Castellan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 'Unlucky' is a complimentary way to put it! Thanks, DG. I had no idea that the clue I voted for was a shadowy clue, in fact when I tried to think about who authored what, I was stumped by this clue in particular. It just sort of grabbed me because it was a pretty unusual way to use the letters to point to a character. I also liked 'soft tones breed treason' just for the sound of it and it for some reason bamboozled me for a long time - although one would think Roose's whispery voice would spring to mind straight away.

So the Others are defeated! to everyone! I can actually see the new day breaking now. Special congratulations to our newbie for all her contributions to the fight game. Last but not least, a million thanks to our really awesome host for taking us on this exciting voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours bamboozled me too. 9 hours ago, Ser Not Appearing said: Which is better: Raisin' Bran's taste in clues or the taste of raisin bran? It was a really good clue. Surprised no one else "voted" for it. But I think raisin bran is better than my taste in clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 I do think the final round's clues were overall an excellent standard, so I'm not surprised the votes were quite split, although I expected more votes to come in for Jez's wonderful Arya clue. Two players did fail to vote though. I probably should have used the system where the voter gets a point for voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Let me vote for my own clue and I'll make sure to remember! (no I won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Ser, Ser is put to cleaning duties, for cowardice I did not think I had the theme or the Arya clue, and it shows how hard it was to think anything And I only got the theme, because when I really could not put two thoughts together, there was an echo of a mafia game in my head (a game where some people are liars and you have to figure out who), which reminded me that 'that post from Dolorous Gabe that was absolutely false, there must have been a reason for it'. For Arya I had a vague thought that it fits in a small way if it is about moirai, and just could not access my mind to think anything much. It is good that this game is played Julia H. and everyone else saved it and everything, not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have come up with a new idea for a slight variation of an Acrophilia round. I hope I can find two more rounds using the same variation and use it for a future game. Any prospective hosts of either Acrophilia or Acrophobia? If not I don't mind hosting an Acrophobia game as I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 ah well i failed ...again... to start strong then fall into the abyss... this 5 day hangover i have suffered under did more to aid my goal than my weak ass performance... cheers to winners and losers alike special and to jez who has earned her stripes good job Brother Gabe, a truly dolorous-worthy game... i shall now sail back to lys to rediscover my physical and mental strength...

"Supervised one cleaner and a black ice dragon in an icy hell" is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Bell Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Ok, serious withdrawal setting in I cant sleep. I wake up in strange places with the wiki open. Who knows how long I’ve been alt-shift-x’ing my way through the pages. I can’t eat. I’ve been on a not-so-steady diet of Halloween candy and special brownies. Ok, so I can eat. Wait, what? Never mind. I see acronyms everywhere... TESCO, ASDA, Lidl. On the bright side, I’ve had an early start to Xmas shopping Did I hear something about a new game?
