ROUND 2 SCORES

Howlin' Howard's nifty Heirs to the Sons was very popular and he blitzed the round with a total of 26 points including 4 points for most first places entries. Gabe also had a decent round with Gallantry's A Mummer's Farce. He came second with 17 points and he and Howlin' are now tied on 32 points at the end of round 2. 

I encourage everyone to check their score. I am not confident I have found all errors but I am sorry, lack the brain power to do more checks, having just been thrashing around in acrophilia clues.

PS I have scored this way: 1st - 4 pts; 2nd - 3 pts; 3rd - 2 pts; 4th - 1 pt.

1. Games Are Man's Folly Jez Bell 1+1+4+4+1=11

2. Death Waits Raisin' Bran 1+1+ 4+3+2+1=12

3. Gallantry's A Mummer's Farce Dolourous Gabe 1+1+4+3+3+3+1+1=17

4. Go Amidst Much Force Ser Not Appearing 1+1+3+3+2=10

5. Heirs to the Sons Howlin' Howland 1+1+4+4+4+3+3+2+2+4=26

6. Turning Dragons Lady Blizzardborn 1+1+4+2=8

7. Hides Turned. Trials Settled. She Who must be Obeyed 1+1+2+2+2=8

8. Games Are Masterfully Fought Julia H. 1+1+4+3+3+1=13

9. The Dragon-ish A Free Shadow 1+1+1+1=4

10. Total Dicks! Fragile Bird 1+1+4+2+2+1+1+1=13

 
STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 2

A Free Shadow 2+4=6

Dolorous Gabe 15+17=32

Fragile Bird  6+13=19

Howlin' Howland 6+26=32

Jez Bell 2+11=13

Julia H. 11+13=24

Lady Blizzardborn 14+8=22

Raisin' Bran 11+12=23

Ser Not Appearing 10

She Who Must Be Obeyed 8+8=16

Sadly, I think I only had 21 points last round.  You might want to recount that.

1 for vote, 1 for entry, 9 for three first place votes, 4 for most first place votes, 4 for two second place votes, and 2 for a third and a fourth place vote.

Apparently I never paid much attention to scoring when I was playing. I have scored based on 1st - 4 pts, 2nd - 3 pts, 3rd - 2 pts, and 4th - i pt, when I gather from HHs scoring that previously it has been 3 pts 2 pts 1 pt 1 pt.

Well perhaps I will never have to host again.

I don't mind the way I did it because it just makes it a high scoring game. It is perhaps a bit unfair to people who did well in the first round where the scores possible were lower - but we did add a player which took me over the edge where I thought we needed to have 4 favourite votes.

I'd rather just keep it as is. 

PS Have not yet received entries from a few players.

Overall standard went down a little this round I think. We're better than this.

Before I vote, does "Nifes" mean anything other than a misspelled word?

I looked it up. It seems to be a geological term for the earth's core, which is thought to be composed of nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe)
