northernwarg Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I voted for #9 because I had to look up "ossa."Ha! There were some weird and wonderful definitions, weren't there?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q the Cat Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I never submitted my prelims until I saw the six hour deadline today. Had eight of nine original submissions and the theme correct but rushed through the rest... hopefully the rush doesn't hurt me too badly on the rest.I decided that, at least for now, my favorite clue won't be a super straightforward easy one. I voted for #6... probably just because I had to look up "Fe" ... after that it was easy.Thanks for the vote :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm anticipating, btw, that my clue was somewhat difficult. Hope I'm wrong... but I liked it too much to swap out for an easier (high point-getting) clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I had #5. Maybe everyone else dislikes it (hopefully the opposite so I get some points), but I quite liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Howland Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I had #5. Maybe everyone else dislikes it (hopefully the opposite so I get some points), but I quite liked it. I know I got three answers wrong and I think yours was one of them. The only character I could think of who worked with the clue and the theme was Cleos Frey, but it was a huge stretch to consider Jaime an operator.

Howlin' Howland Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Kevan Lannister... The word "piloted" made me zero in on people who'd been on a boat or ship. Even if I hadn't, there was no way I'd have gotten that clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ... and this may be the first game I've tried to enjoy over trying to win. Though I'd still like to win... but won't because I like a good (to me) clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The word "piloted" made me zero in on people who'd been on a boat or ship. Even if I hadn't, there was no way I'd have gotten that clue.I hear you. In my mind, the first and last words might key the guesses. Still quite obscure, as I was warned.I had originally tried for an acronym using the short one and referencing his chilly, per Varys, death... but it didn't have enough letters in that acro and too many people have died cold.Interestingly, I had just re-read (listened to) many/most of of his book appearances.

Previously struggling players are improving round upon round, with special mention this round to rhymeswithleek, lil' ghost, and Lady Blizzardborn. In an intriguing sub-plot, Woofless appears to have worked out a discernible style to the entries of Ser Not Appearing, having correctly identified his work in both of the last two rounds. FULL GAME TABLE AFTER ROUND 3 1 – AssHat Ahai + a shadow (ofacloud) 83 + 47 = 1302 – Howlin' Howland 84 +40 = 1243 – yomi 74 + 47 = 1214 – Ser Not Appearing 85 + 34 = 1195 – Woofless 67 + 46 = 1136 – northernwarg 86 + 26 = 1127 – Q the Cat 67 + 44 = 1118 – Reek Havoc 77 + 31 = 1088 – Evermind 67 + 41 = 10810 – Castellan 69 + 38 = 10711 – Lady Blizzardborn 63 + 41 = 10412 – lil' ghost 53 + 41 = 9412 – rhymeswithleek 52 + 42 = 9412 – Emmit 65 + 29 = 9415 – Et Cetera the Mouse 52 +24 = 7616 – bryden blackfish tully + DreamSongs 68 + 7 = 75 a shadow has stormed out in front, leading the chasing pack now after two sterling performances. Howlin' Howland is hot on the trail, having been the steadiest and most consistent scorer of the first three rounds. Meanwhile, yomi has mounted a challenge of her own, another consistent display cementing her place in the top 3. Ser Not Appearing suffers for having a tricky clue, with author points hard to come by, and slips to the midst of the chasing pack. nothernwarg's challenge stalls in an off-round, but beware the wounded animal's warging skills. Finally, mentions must go to Woofless and Q the Cat, whose recent performances suggest there could be more to come from these dark horses. Please don't forget to pm me your ROUND 4 clues if you have done so already. The deadline is in a little over 21 hours Thanks and well done everyone. Sorry about the mess-ups this round. I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again. Must sleep now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, no way I'll win. Can't bring myself to pen easy clues unless it's needed based on the character. This round was too hard. Would prefer about half get the clue.This game is still my favorite, though. If guessing characters was all that mattered, I'd be doing pretty darn well.

Dolorous Gabe Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Anyone think I should add another point to the player with the most favourite clue votes? I'm now thinking that way. Maybe even two extra. I'll throw that out there then run off. I'll see what is said on the morrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Personally? No. But it's no big deal either way. Small difference, so I'm happy with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
