Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I can't see a speed round for Acrophillia happening. Acrophobia - yes. As in the old Acrophobia game. But think if you are asking the host to make up all the clues... Just don't see it. That's actually kind of how this started. I had fourteen leftovers for an Acrophobia round, different characters for each of them. Somebody thought it would be fun to guess which characters they were for, and the rest is history. Very recent history, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Were they all with the same letters?Or just different clues to different people - which I could see (sorta), but the name ACRO wouldn't be right then. I just don't get the ACRO bit in doing an Acrophillia speed round with the host doing it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a free shadow Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (Please don't take away prelims future hosts. Us people that aren't so great at this game may like the extra help) One vote for no preliminaries (woofless) and one for (lil' ghost). I do think that we ought to try a game without preliminaries sometime though. Especially if it is short, like mine :P If everyone will keep onto their politeness (or busyness and indifference) and say nothing of whose game they want to play next, I will rigg the process, take the game and you will lose any vote you have :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q the Cat Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (Please don't take away prelims future hosts. Us people that aren't so great at this game may like the extra help) :agree: I really need like the prelims, too. It also gives me some time to digest all of the clues, etc. I can understand the desire for speedier rounds, but for me one of the greatest things about this game is that it compels me to review and study the books more and I really like that. :read: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Were they all with the same letters? Or just different clues to different people - which I could see (sorta), but the name ACRO wouldn't be right then. I just don't get the ACRO bit in doing an Acrophillia speed round with the host doing it all. All the same letters. I came up with them due to an overload of creativity on the assignment for the Secret Targs round of game (number) of Acrophobia. (Please don't take away prelims future hosts. Us people that aren't so great at this game may like the extra help) I have to agree with this. I've only played the one game so I lack the ability to see if I've gotten any better, but without prelims in game one I would have bombed. However, I do see the point about trying it without prelims. And I certainly think that would be preferable in a speed game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'd be lost without the prelims! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmit Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'd suck without prelims, but I'd be willing to try a short game without them.But i definitely don't want to give up prelims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well, should we then have a 3-round game without character prelims hosted by whitefinch first, and if it is indeed as horribly difficult as many of us fear now, I'll reinstate it in my game?Or I start, and have no character prelims in the first round, but maybe have them again starting from the second round if a majority wants them after the test in the first round? edit: I must confess I'm rather happyabout the prelims this round as they made me find out that I have 9 correct answers and not just 2 as I feared.

a free shadow Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 If everyone could decide soon, it would be good :ninja: I might have to start a sign up thread in the next 24 hours, as I am not quite sure what windows I will climb out have on Monday and Tuesday, and might not be able to properly start it then, in case I am the host. If you are doubtful about no preliminaries, it might be helped by me screening the clues properly or, possibly, giving you the preliminary guesses on five Edit: two, I think two is better of your chosen clues, besides the theme. I only want everyone to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm not entirely certain, maybe DG can clarify on this, but IIRC we didn't have prelims in the very first round of the very first game and we still managed somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round 1 of game 1 had no prelims. It was requested and implemented in round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Oh :frown5: I did not know that. I would have loved to play it. As a host, it does not make much difference, just that I lost am losing hope as a player that it will ever happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 There be no prelims in turbophobia. That was a typo but... arrr. #Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I can surely host a round without character prelims to make you happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I would like to play a round without prelims, but I think there would be a bigger split in the scores then, with some leaders sprinting away. Worth trying, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNHKmaFUrs4 The second Theme Clue has arrived, and as requested it is a video clue. It would be below this, but apparently Internet Explorer and this site do not get along (I can't quote when using IE either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That points to a pretty obvious theme but it doesn't fit my answers! Its going to be a bad round for me, if I send prelims in it won't help because i can see for myself a big chunk are wrong and I won't know which ones.

a free shadow Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The decision is reached now that I will host the next game, the most horrible game you will ever see :ninja: If there is no opposition, I will start a sign up thread in the next hours, as I might not be able to do so well later. Do you mind, LadyB? I do know this game is still very much going on :ninja: The one thing I still need comments on is preliminaries. Do you prefer to submit a whole list, a theme and three of your chosen clues for it, or do you want to play without it? The new game will last three rounds.
