Dany Lannister Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Greetings! Welcome to the 7th edition of Acrophobia! Previous Acrophbia games // their winners:Acrophobia #1: Seven Kingdoms // SixchinsAcrophobia #2: Eight Events // SixchinsAcrophobia #3: Seven Devils // Turinqui-CalimaAcrophobia #4: Seven Deities // Turinqui-CalimaAcrophobia #5: Pleasantly Plump // Asshat AhaiAcrophobia #6: By the book // EvermindAcrophobia #7: Fan Theories // Howlin' HowlandThe theme of this game will be fan theories. Westeros.org has some amazing theories, and some that are less than, but all the same, I very much enjoy reading ALL of them. So, I am very much looking forward to this round! I’ll probably throw a few in that are generally accepted and a few that are tinfoily (IMO). If anyone has any they think simply MUST be included, please send me a PM. I’m anticipating great entries this game - whether you are adding to the theory, refuting the theory, providing a clever perspective, etc. of course, it's up to you on what you want to submit. Here are the rules: 1. There will be 7 rounds. The theme of each round will be an ASOIAF fan theory. Your job is to take the acronym provided and assign a word to each letter to form your entry. Creativity, cleverness, and humor will usually win, at least, a point.Entries must only contain words that begin with the letters the Acronym provided; therefore, you may not stick in a word like a, the, of, and, etc or &, @. to make your answer make sense. Players will be asked to re-submit their answer if this happens. However, punctuation may be used, which may help increase meaning.2. Players will most often be given ~48 hours for entries each round. I will try to avoid 48 hour periods taking place solely over weekends, as a result, some deadlines may be extended. This is due to prior game having extended deadlines so everyone could participate. 3. Entries should be PM'd to the game host (Dany Lannister). Please title your PM Acrophobia 7 - <insert your Board Name> and keep all communication to one thread so the host's inbox does not reach overload.You may change your entry until the submissions window is closed.4. When all submissions are in, I will post them on this thread.Entries are to be anonymous, so don't reveal which is your entry. Revealed entries will be disqualified.5. Players will then have ~48 hours to vote for their top 3 favorite answers.Please vote in thread by putting your favorite entry first, preceded by the numeral 1. Then put your second choice preceded by the numeral 2. Finally put your third ranked entry third, preceded by the numeral 3. Please bold your selections and include the submission’s number (each round each submission will be numbered). For example: 1. <Submission #> Funny thing tinfoily theory 2. <Submission #> Slightly less funny thing about theory 3. <Submission #> Mildly amusing thing about theoryYou may not, of course, vote for your own entry.You may change your vote up until the voting window closes.6. After Round 1 submissions are over, voting and the submissions for a new round will run simultaneously. 7. Points will be awarded as follows:1 point for a submission1 point for voting3 points for someone choosing your answer as their top choice2 points for someone choosing your answer as their second choice1 point for someone choosing your answer as their third choice4 points for having the answer with the most 1st place votesPoints will be added across the 7 rounds and the person with the most points will be the winner8, New players may join at any time, both during the submission and voting. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please PM me. Or if I totally fark up the score, please point it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmit Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Gah, I know next to nothing about the GNC and simply cannot read 3 entire threads about it. Is there a link to the (very) short version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Likewise, I know nothing, but i just read the long quote 'Yeade said' sitting in the post you get to if you click on the link Dany has included. It seemed to give a pretty good idea.Gah, I know next to nothing about the GNC and simply cannot read 3 entire threads about it. Is there a link to the (very) short version?

Fragile Bird Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The first post in the link gives a pretty good idea of what it's all about. The North is secretly uniting to overthrow those who have attacked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Howland Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Gah, I know next to nothing about the GNC and simply cannot read 3 entire threads about it. Is there a link to the (very) short version? The surviving elements of the army that was broken at the Red Wedding made contact to the units that were sent to secure passage North with Howland Reed. The BWB also gets involved in most versions. In the North Wyman Manderly secured permission from Bran early in the story to build a fleet. He has a huge force and has been waiting for the Lannisters to return his sons before attacking the Boltons. Pretty much every other house in the North, except the Karstarks, has a reason to hate the Boltons and have just been waiting for their hostages to come home before they attack. In my opinion this is second only to R+L=J in the realm of plausible theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Off topic question. I've noticed some people all of a sudden have much lower post counts than I remember. Like Evermind, I'm sure has posted more than 8 times. Anyone know what's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
