The Snowfyre Chorus

Just as predicted, through no doing of my own, my online activity is no longer anonymous.  I have not signed out, nor have I intentionally or knowingly changed my privacy settings.  (In fact, I don't see a menu anywhere for privacy settings.)  But one week after my last post (quoted above) my profile suddenly displays what I am "Currently" doing, for the world to see.

Mods or Admins - Ideas as to why this might be happening?  Any feedback appreciated.

(I did post a comment just a few moments ago.  Could that have automatically switched off the "anonymous log in" setting for some reason?  I wouldn't have thought so, given that I also posted a comment on December 11th and there was no change in anonymity at that time.)

I signed in anonymously this morning, at 10:00 am EST.  Based on the last two times I signed in anonymously... since about November 20th... I expect that within a week, my online activity and presence will no longer be anonymous.   No notification will be given that my privacy status has changed, when, or why.  

Does the new site software impose an automatic expiration on anonymity?  Or is this issue related to site restoration and upgrades, or what?  Hoping this is not a permanent "feature" of the new set up. 

Admin's decision will not be revisited on this issue.

Hey Stubby, I was in the middle of reading Heresy 164. Now I can't find it. Did Admin just delete another Heresy?

No response whatsoever on this question from the mods... but suddenly Heresy 164 has reappeared in cyberspace? Anyone care to explain what happened (and then un-happened)? Seems very odd/arbitrary...

Wolfmaid - It could be a site issue (lots of those lately, it seems)... but it looks like the links to the last two Heresy threads need to be edited. Currently they both point to this thread - the Heretics Guide. (Though as someone else pointed out, Heresy 163 seems to have disappeared... so it might be difficult to redirect that link at the moment. :) )

I think tansy tea is a likely explanation, but we do actually see a Tansy in ASoS a "buxom red-haired innkeep" Arya meets while with BwB.

Yes, but that Tansy was pretty clearly one of Martin's red-hairings. ;)

Can't you guys just post a summary of what your core beliefs are this week?

This week, we believe in compiling links for future reference! :cool4:

For those interested in Heresy and those already familiar with the thread;here is a compilation of what was discussed from its inception to the present.Its also an easier way to refer to topics discussed without having to thumb through loads of threads trying to find a particular Hersey...

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

Is it explicitly said that Griff caught Greyscale from saving Tyrion? When I was reading through those parts, I got the idea that Griff was already infected, was hiding it from everyone else on the boat, and only looked checked on his condition to be sure it wasn't spreading too quickly. So it wouldn't become obvious right away that he had it.

I believe there is a passage in which, while considering his diseased hand, Griff thinks something along the lines of "I should've let the dwarf drown... I told him to stay away from the Stone Men!" The impression I got in my reading was that the condition of his hand and the rescue of Tyrion were connected.

n00b here. Just finished reading ADwD (though I first read AGoT way back in 1998)... and here's one (small) question I was left with as I finished the epilogue:

What are the chances that King Tommen is a warg?

"From soup to sweet Tommen burbled about the exploits of his kittens, whilst feeding them morsels of pike off his own royal plate. "The bad cat was outside my window last night," he informed Kevan at one point, "but Ser Pounce hissed at him and he ran off across the roofs."

"The bad cat?" Ser Kevan said, amused. He is a sweet boy.

"An old black tomcat with a torn ear," Cersei told him. "A filthy thing, and foul-tempered. He clawed Joffs hand once." She made a face. "The cats keep the rats down, I know, but that one ... he's been known to attack ravens in the rookery."

With the corollary question being... Whose bonded animal friend is that snooping old black tomcat? (Or is that one too obvious?) :)
