northernwarg Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Heh heh, the leftovers thread should be called leftovers and loser's lounge, where drinks could be served. Just like for the World Cup. :D I like it. Mine's a double!! Must we abuse the front runners though? ( er.. cough... 'that rascal Evermind... I fought two world wars for the likes of him. Taught him all he knows'... mumbling incompletely, being led away blindly health professionals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My round two is... OK... doesn't quite strike a chord but it's not terrible.I loved my round one and will just assume that anyone who didn't list it as number 1 was either jealous or scanned past it. That's the only logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil' ghost Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I loved my round one and will just assume that anyone who didn't list it as number 1 was either jealous or scanned past it. That's the only logical explanation.Sometimes I like to wait to see what others vote when I'm having a tough time deciding, then I usually give a vote to the "underdog" of my initial picks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm a cynic. I plan to track and see a bit whether or not the people in front on points tend to view for other best answers (as determined by the votes of others) as a means of not aiding their likely best competition.

Fragile Bird Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I actually try to pick my favourite for first and then for 2nd and 3rd I can be influenced to vote for selections with fewer points if I'm voting late. It's not too hard, because the selections have been all very strong. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Geez, I haven't voted yet, have I? Sometimes I forget, because I read the selections so many times I think I've voted. :) First - 11. Eddard's posse double-deal. Vengeful Northerners ultimately manoeuvre. I liked both the posse idea and the double-dealing. Second - 8. Everyone Pounces! Dreadfort's Vicious Nobles Ultimately Murdered. Silly, but I thought of Ser Pounce. Third - 13. Evidence practically demands volatile North's ultimate mutiny. Yes, it does!

AssHat Ahai Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I loved my round one and will just assume that anyone who didn't list it as number 1 was either jealous or scanned past it. That's the only logical explanation. If you're #9, you might have a point. Otherwise, well... You gotta vote for the best. It's in the rules.

Howlin' Howland Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 mwa ha ha ha... I think round 2 is incredibly easy. Took less than 2 minutes to come up with the winning line :P and we all know how well I score in this game I've already sent Dany Lannister three answers and come up with about eight that weren't good enough to send. My current entry might work depending on the taste of the other players but it's not a sure thing. I feel a lot worse this round than last round and last rounds voting wasn't kind.

Emmit Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I've already sent Dany Lannister three answers and come up with about eight that weren't good enough to send. My current entry might work depending on the taste of the other players but it's not a sure thing. I feel a lot worse this round than last round and last rounds voting wasn't kind.Therein lies the problem. Only one entry out of all the games I've played was I sure I had the best answer that actually won me first place. There is (for me at least) no understanding the tastes of the other players.Clearly Sixchins and Evermind have tapped into our collective psyche... if only they'd share their magic secret.
