a free shadow Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Would it help if you danced at my expense while I watched? I do not understand what people say anymore, so I can not put them in their place with the right answer :ninja: usurper - "usurped" Rattleshirt's identity trans - beyond great separator - the wall snip snap Oh, thank you... I only noticed the "trans" meaning to be around "something-slash-something" or "having changed from one thing to another" (in accidental internet dictionaries, as always), although it did bother me why "turned" was not used instead. Stupid :frown5: It is really a great clue, yomi! I can tell a secret :ninja: On how to win the game :smug: I did the best, when I remembered that the clue maker is trying their best to tell me the answer, that they want me to get it, and they made a great clue. So if something does not add up into a perfect solution, it must be a wrong guess and my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 So, Gabe, I know #16 (Tyrion's clue) was one of the hints that you were referring to when you said a couple clues should have had hyphens in them... what were the others? The others didn't need one to make sense for the answer, but it struck me that 'lilac-scented', 'bad-toothed' and 'yellow-belly' could have been hyphenated.

Woofless Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It wasn't close at the end, and DG did an amazing job. But I didn't get any points for favorite clue this round. Whacha mean? You got two points for favourite! And I know I definitely voted for your clue. :smoking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Thanks for hosting Gabe. Let me explain #15 'Loved Sister. Bided time. Younger brother' The word sister was capitalized and had a double meaning--he was in love with his sister, but he also carried DarkSister the sword. Sorry for not 'cluing in' DS, unfortunately the clue also fit Oberyn to a 'T'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Whacha mean? You got two points for favourite! And I know I definitely voted for your clue. :smoking: I don't recall anyone voting for clue 12, the one for (f)Aegon/Young Griff, which was H'H's. There is a full count of 14 favourite clue votes in the list (rhymeswithleek didn't partake) so I must have counted your vote, but it didn't go to clue 12. If I made a mistake and gave it to the wrong clue then I apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernwarg Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 14 Longevity saps bastard. Treehugger's years beyond...Answer Brynden 'Bloodraven' RiversAuthor northernwarg My choice for favorite clue. The pun of "sap" did it for me.Cheers Emmit. I was pleased with it too! Very well done to HH. Imagine if a shadow had won? The backwash of terrifying ninja smug???!!! ;) I suppose it will only make her meaner and more determined:) Massive thanks to the Great Dolorous One. Btw like the idea of a theme but not clue prelims. And a secret congrats/hugs to lil' ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q the Cat Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Congratulations on the win, Howlin'! Nice final round Reek! And thanks to everyone who played. :cheers: What a super fun game! Thanks again, DG :bowdown: Guessing the theme correctly in the prelims definitely helped me in this round:I had a dumb assumption that the answers were characters that started out alive. Initially, I had #3 as Stoneheart, but changed to Catelyn Stark after the prelims.#6 I was on the right track for prelims, listing Aegon V, but due to my dumb assumption, I changed it to Sandor Clegane (thinking 'summerhalled' might mean he was burned).#7 I initially had Robert Baratheon, but changed it to Mance after the prelims#8 I got wrong. I was sure Sarella Sand *had* to be one of the answers, so I guessed this was the most likely. The sparrow part didn't fit, but I went with it anyway. If only the clue had been Little sparrow - then I'd have gotten it for sure.#15 I guessed Doran Martell and he was my odd one out. He fits the clue, too!#16 I guessed Sansa, since she also had to be in one of the answers. *sigh*#17 I guessed Theon. I'd forgotten about Ramsay being disguised as Reek. Happy I got some Favorite Clue votes this round.I also guessed Castellan's entry. Now I can hardly wait for the next game. Still, this one is my favorite. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 See, I told you I need a better dictionary! Mine said "trans" relates to translation. ETA: Here's the sign-up thread for Game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
