lil' ghost Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Greetings! Welcome to the 9th edition of Acrophobia! Raven messages was brought up by shadow and took the crowd by storm. I hope to choose characters that y'all will enjoy, but it's hard to please everyone. You can make up what ever you want about the messages. I will provide you a sender that will be the author of your submission and a receiver. ..I made that sound harder than it will actually be. Anyway, on to previous winners and the rules! Good luck to you all. :cheers: 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' HowlandAcrophobia #8: Little Known Facts About the Reeds // Fragile BirdAcrophobia #9: Raven Messages // Dolorous Gabe Here are the rules: 1. There will be 7 rounds. The theme of each round will be a character sending a raven message to another character. 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 lil' ghost. Please title your PM Acrophobia 9 - <insert your Board Name> and keep all communication to one thread so the host's inbox does not reach overload.You may edit/change your entry until the submissions window is closed, just be sure to let me know.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 favorite answer.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 #> Best message 2. <Submission #> Second best message 3. <Submission #> Third best messageYou may not, of course, vote for your own entry.You may change your vote up until the voting window closes by editing your original voting post.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, notes on screw ups, comments or concerns please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Oh, and I recommend following the thread :) Thanks for the reminder. I usually have to go a few days of wondering why nothing is happening with Acrophobia then discovering in shock and horror that it's gone 5 pages and I missed a turn or two. :( I hope I end up liking this topic as much as you guys seem to. I'm pretty sure it's going to kick my a** like the one before and the one before that and . . . Thanks for hosting lil' ghost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The big question is: can Reek Havoc live up to her hugely impressive Cersei-Brienne sample? If so, the rest of us are probably doomed! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
