Acrophobia #12. Congratulations to the Winner: a shadow!

[Lady Blizzardborn]

Yenned? Yenned?

Past tense of yen. In this case probably not to do with Japanese currency.

[Lady Blizzardborn]

1. 9. Gains eminence, discovers heralded Prince, eventually yields. I could see this.

2. 1. Girl’s exceptionally dramatic hatchings predetermine eventual yielding(s). In other words we've seen it coming since book one, but who will yield?

3. 7. Girl’s equity: dragons, horde, prophecies, exiles, youth. Nice inventory here. Looks like a lot in her favor.

Honorable mention to 8 for lovely wording...except for the yawn.

Thanks for the game, everyone! And to our lovely host, HC!

#1 1 Girl’s exceptionally dramatic hatchings predetermine eventual yielding(s).

#2 2 Gradually everyone deserts her. Politically, empress yields.

#3 5 GRRM endlessly delays her promised entrance. Yawn.

[a free shadow]

first 6. Grueling expedition; Demands her privilege exists! *yawps* (I do not very much like the ending, but the privilege is great!)

second 8. Glacially elongated deployment halts presumed election. *yawn* (I think the first two words work doubly - for her glacially slow current progress and for her upcoming fight with icy others)

third 4. Greatly eulogized. Daenerys had potential. Evermore yenned.

[Dolorous Gabe]

1) 1

2) 7

3) 6

Sorry HC, not got my computer to use.

Thanks for the game. Thanks to the host. Thanks for the votes.

Good luck to the other competitors for the throne.

3. Gets educated. Destroys hegemonies. Prophesied empire? Yippee-ki-yay!

8. Glacially elongated deployment halts presumed election. *yawn*

5. GRRM endlessly delays her promised entrance. Yawn.

It was ghost, not DG who gave FB a 3rd place vote. Thanks Woofless for spotting that. :)

[Dolorous Gabe]

Congrats shadow. It's about time you won one of these! If you win another I will have to consider you a mortal enemy though!

Thanks for hosting HC. A fine job you did too.

Happy New Year everyone.

Congratulations, shadow! *streamers and confetti*
