yomi Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 So, the deadline has ended. Should any of you not have sent in answers or new clues or wish to change anything, do so soon. If I counted correctly, two of the new clues are missing. Probably it's similar with the round one answers. I'll assemble and count what I have till now. If I'm still missing replies by the time I'm finished with that, shall I wait or proceed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked two distinctive swords arranged off one.answer: Tywin Lannister author: a shadow authoring points*: 12guesser points**: 38total: 50 Theme: Fathered at least one daughter Three people guessed the theme correctly: Queen_Cersei_II, redriver and a shadow, in the last case at least thanks to Castellan's in-thread hint about the theme clue (Castellan herself sadly ignored that hint). Three more people figured it had something to do with people having daugthers or children of the opposite gender, and got half theme points for that. Well, here is the ranking after the first round: 1. Rhaena Sandship 501. a shadow 503. Queen_Cersei_II 494. Dolorous Gabe 465. redriver 456. Castellan 447. lil' ghost 398. Woofless 379. Lady Blizzardborn 3310. Emmit 2511. Ser Not Appearing 1812. Q the Cat 1413. Fragile Bird 10 Our last game's host a shadow shares the top spot with our new player Rhaena Sandship. Rhaena got there by guessing all characters correctly and getting half the theme points. A shadow had two wrong answers, but got the theme and more author points, including two favourite votes. With just one point distance, Queen_Cersei_II is following them. Most (three) favourite votes where given to Woofless' clue for Tytos Blackwood. *authoring points = author points + favourite clue points**guesser points = guessing points + theme points + theme clue identification point + voting points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Well done,beloved leaders :cheers:. And Yomi,what is the answer to the theme clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's just a hint to the theme. I wanted to guide your minds to fathers and daugthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 in the latest round, all bar one clue looks very cryptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Impressive debut Rhaena Sandship. Most impressive :) Well done to shadow and Bex too :cheers: A man must up his game :fencing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Oh man! I had Cleos and then changed it because I couldn't remember him having daughters. Went with Tyrion because a lot of people think Lanna in Braavos might be his daughter. I completely blanked on the Brackens and Blackwoods. Went with Bloodraven for Clue 1 (on the Melony Seastar theory), and don't remember who I threw in for Clue 7. For 11 I thought of the Roose is descended from Night's King theory and was thinking that Walda's baby could maybe be a girl. Great round! Congratulations Rhaena, shadow and Queen Cersei II!

Ser Not Appearing Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So authoring points is how many people guessed my clue? I'm surprised it's so low. Feared it was too obvious.I suspect Yomi thought it was somewhat obscure. Probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, right, I forgot: authoring points = author points + favourite clue pointsguesser points = guessing points + theme points + theme clue identification point + voting points And I thought the "Bent, then didn't subdue archrival" part was great, I just feared the "obligated" would be misinterpreted. But in the end I fear I gave you a quiet minor character. Well, there are many more minor characters to come in the next rounds :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Now that round 1 is done, I'd like your opinion about two topics: 1. What do you think about the theme clue? Is it fine? Is it horrible and we should abolish it starting with round 3? Shall I make them more obvious? 2. Are the prelims fine as they are? Do you want more questions? No prelims at all? Send in your list the learn how many but not which you got right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd say it's all fine. The theme clue thing did throw me off course but in retrospect I should have got it. I was too stubborn in the path I was taking to see the correct path that was right there next to me. Edit: Just to say that I love that there have been slight variations in the system in each game. I don't think there should ever be one definite system. Keeps things fresh and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
