Acrophobia #10: You Are The Prophesier - Winner: Lady Blizzardborn


Dolorous Gabe

Recommended Posts

I'd love to have a prophecy for Tyrion that says something like:

A wife you'll take, a wife you'll lose. You'll search for your wife but not the prude.

... or ...

You'll search for your wife but not the beauty you've married.

Oh, and my entry so far sucks... again.

"When you face a choice of two roads, take the other one."

How's that for vague?

Thanks, I need it. Now I remember why I always drop out of this game: I'm terrible at it. Zero votes on the first round!



I know, you could have a round where you try to guess which clue is mine the worst. :-)

To be fair it only takes a couple of strong winning rounds to get you up in contention. I had one entry that got zero votes and one entry that got just two 3rd place votes in the last game. My final entry only got 3 votes, although they were two 2nd and a 1st so they were handy in seeing me to the top, but that means for nearly half of the rounds I got just 15 points (6 of those for simply sending in an entry and voting).



Don't lose hope!

Personally I Iike to get my answers in asap, so that I can forget about it, as I never know how busy I'm going to be in the days remaining. If something else comes to me I can change it, but the pressure is off.



Yes, I know, you can tell I get them in quickly as they make no sense - except to me, of course.

I missed Arya, of all the rounds...



first 9. Braavos beckons--under guise, master “sewing. (I would like it better if "sewing" were not in these "", but it is good still)


second 7. Be brave – Unknown girls may survive....


third 10. Blade ballet until God: many-skulls. (Just for the "blade ballet")



another kind of blade ballet

Well I must admit that when I received entry 7 from Reek Havoc I hoped it would get the praise it deserved. To be the standout entry in such a strong field is an impressive achievement. An incredible haul of 31 points (with six 1st place votes) closes a giant deficit to draw level at the top with the second best scorer of the round Lady Blizzardborn and push Howlin' Howland into 3rd. Meanwhile, Captain Lemon continues his strong start to his Acrophobia career and Emmit and Ser Not Appearing hang tenaciously to their positions in the chasing pack under pressure from lil' ghost, twice-champion Turinqui-Calima and Castellan.



Round 3 entries on the way.

Congratulations to Reek! Nicely done. That is a big move and gives us bottom dwellers hope we can move up. :)


Kudos to everybody for a nice round. And to our host for a job well done.

I have done that as well. Not this round, but in the past.

ROUND 4



CERSEI LANNISTER (hoping for some belters here!)



Letters - DLEROHC



The royal party travelling north to Winterfell stops for King Robert to go hunting in a nearby forest. Cersei is twiddling her thumbs impatiently. You come around the corner. She'll ignore you at first as you try to make some kind of conversation. What do you say that grabs her attention (and possibly gets you sentenced to death)?



Deadline for Round 4 submissions is 11pm London Time on Monday 6th October (6pm New York Time). You'll probably get an extra hour as it might be midnight before I can start the count.
