ROUND SEVEN RESULTS 1 - Oh lovely Daenerys, Venerable ally lingers. Your return is anticipated! Author: She Who Must Be Obeyed 1+1 +3+1+1+3 = 10 2 - Fire ignites. Rhaegar enshrined, Aemon nearly. Daenerys becomes lightbringer of obsolete dragons. Author: RhaenysBee 1+1 +2 = 4 3 - Foes invading realm. Empress, Aemon now dies believing lost orphan’ll overcome doom! Author: Julia H. 1+1 +3+1+3 = 9 4 - Observe love. Determine values assisting life. Your responsibility is achievable. Author: honeyed chicken 1+1 +1+2+1+1 = 7 5 - Forever, I repined, exhausted. And now, dragons! Bright looms our old dreams! Author: Fragile Bird 1+1 +3+3+3+2 +3 = 16 6 - Occupying lands, dragons, victories aplenty!?! Lady, your return is assured. Author: Howlin’ Howland 1+1 +2+1 = 5 7 - Take aggressive risks getting allies. Regretting years...exhausted now. Author: rocksniffer 1+1 +2+1+2+2 = 9 8 - Fiery impregnation routs Egg's -- alas! -- nixed dragon birthing. Lucky obstetrics, obviously, dearie! Author: Count Balerion 1+1 +2+3 = 7 A first, I think. Joint winners. In the end a tie between Julia H. and Fragile Bird. Congratulations to both! FINAL STANDINGS Julia H. 68 + 9 = 77 / Fragile Bird 61 + 16 = 77 rocksniffer 58 + 9 = 67 She Who Must Be Obeyed 54 + 10 = 64 Count Balerion 42 + 7 = 49 / honeyed chicken 42 + 7 = 49 Howlin’ Howland 41 + 5 = 46 RhaenysBee 36 + 4 = 40 Eternally_His 15 Castellan 8 Based on the collective entries of the two winners overall, I’d suggest the tie as it stands is a very fair reflection of a strong contest between two of the top tier Acrophobia players. Shall we leave it at that? Thanks to everyone for playing and putting up with my bad hosting.

I think I promised to host before you put yourself forward, unless I am mistaken. Nevertheless, you'd definitely do a better job than me at the moment.

Missing a couple of votes. I'll leave it a few more hours.

Full disclosure. The new word has been added by the author, it wasn't there originally. Guys, how you vote in this situation is your prerogative. Just bear in mind that I am responsible for letting such mistakes slip through the cracks. Admittedly I don't check for such errors but I should. I promised to host this game so I did but if I'm honest I regretted it as soon as we got started. I think I need a break from the forum to be frank.

A word has been added to the entry. Well spotted again. I should employ you as a proof reader.

Yay! More time to procrastinate before failing to get started All my answers are still joke answers. I might just submit the joke answers.

ROUND SIX RESULTS 1 - Pretty darn badass - J.K.! Seriously: now closure. Justice. Author: honeyed chicken 1+1 +1 = 3 2 - Deeply forlorn. Onto intrigue, honorless games? Olden aggressions ignored easily? Author: RhaenysBee 1+1 = 2 3 - Pretty dresses? Bah! Jejune! Killing spree's nihilistically jolly! Author: Count Balerion 1+1 +1+1+2 = 6 4 - Deceptive faces? Oh I have got one, "Alayne" in exile. Author: Howlin’ Howland 1+1 +3+2+3+1 = 11 5 - Found out, unbelievably, how sometimes dancing creates inspiration! Author: Fragile Bird 1+1 +3+1+1 = 7 6 - Don't forget our incinerated House! Gracefully obfuscate and - incognito - eavesdrop! Author: rocksniffer 1+1 +2+2+2+3 = 11 7 - Found out unbalanced hothead 'suddenly died' - Congrats! Impressive!! Author: She Who Must Be Obeyed 1+1 +2+3+3+3+1+2 +3 = 19 8 - Father's opinion: "United houses survive." Daughters collaborate invincibly! Author: Julia H. 1+1 +3+1+2 = 8 STANDINGS AFTER ROUND FIVE Julia H. 60 + 8 = 68 Fragile Bird 54 + 7 = 61 rocksniffer 47 + 11 = 58 She Who Must Be Obeyed 35 + 19 = 54 Count Balerion 36 + 6 = 42 honeyed chicken 31 + 11 = 42 Howlin’ Howland 30 + 11 = 41 RhaenysBee 34 + 2 = 36 Eternally_His 15 Castellan 8 With just one last voting round to go, ten points separate the top three. Julia H. did enough to keep top spot from the onrushing rocksniffer and the high-flying Fragile Bird. She Who Must Be Obeyed made a surge to get back in contention but a 14-point swing is perhaps a tough ask up against these hardened phobia veterans. Thanks to everyone for continuing to play at a wonderfully high standard of creativity Please check my tallies in case I made any mistakes

Missing a number of entries so I'll extend to tomorrow afternoon

I still have Katy Perry down for #4, which I hope will not remain there when I send prelims

Typical you, thinking you have fans before you actually have them

Get off my lawn You can make it up to me by agreeing to co-host a game of Acrophilia in the future.

ROUND SEVEN Maester Aemon to Daenerys Targaryen Aemon learns of Dany’s exploits whilst travelling to the Citadel. Let’s say the great old man manages to get a message out before his death. What does he say in it? Acronyms T A R G A R Y E N O L D V A L Y R I A F I R E A N D B L O O D The deadline shall be Thursday 21st May at 1pm UK time (BST)
