Rhaena Sandship Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 About the theme - if you ask me, it is very obvious and easy to guess. If you are not sure - use the wiki to see if your theme guess only firs 6 characters + one in a very twisted way. Or use the Warrior to ask a yes/no question ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaena Sandship Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Round 3 The Warrior stands before the foe, protecting us where e'er we go. With sword and shield and spear and bow, he guards the acrophilia players. The brave Warrior will fight with you against the evil tricky clues of round 3. But first you have to create and send me your clue. The deadline is 23:59 GMT on Tuesday, 10. March. (A reminder - the deadline for this round's guesses is tomorrow.) Here are your acronym choices: RFAIDIT or NSNRWSD Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaena Sandship Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 A very good round, everybody! The favourite clue voting form is now open, you will find it here:(link in your PM). You can't vote for #14 - it is my clue and obviously points to that bastard Joffrey. All other correct answers are posted in the form. What you won't find there is the theme... The Mother represents mercy, so that's the theme. Characters who have given the gift of mercy to somebody. The game is based on a GRRM book series, after all. :devil: Arya -> killed that squire at the Inn at the CrossroadsSandor -> killed a Piper soldier who escaped the Red WeddingDaenerys -> smothered vegetable Drogo with a pillowTheon -> killed Ralf Kenning, the commander of the ironborn in Moat CailinOsha -> granted the gift to the dying Maester LuwinAnguy -> kills the northenman in the crow cages at Stony Sept the vicious idiot -> sent an assassin after Bran and later killed Ned :bawl: After you have voted, you can go to the game thread discuss the clues and your votes. But in case somebody doesn't resist the temptation, please don't explicitly state your authorship in your posts. Also, please send me your clues for round 3, if you haven't already. The favourite clue points will make a lot of difference this round, because many of you guessed all clues correctly. So choose carefully and good luck!

yomi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, this round taught me that Arya and Dany are both travelling girls with many names that want to kill some people because they are angry... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reek Havoc Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, this round taught me that Arya and Dany are both travelling girls with many names that want to kill some people because they are angry... :dunno: Yup! Same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Fingerbones Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, this round taught me that Arya and Dany are both travelling girls with many names that want to kill some people because they are angry... :dunno:Me too.I don't think Dany really has different aliases, so much as different titles. Arya however has many aliases, as in different names she's had or characters she's played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Welcome to game 7 of AcroPHILIA! Favourite clue points: 4 points for the authors of the clues with most ‘Best wording’, ‘Funny or ‘Aha!’ moment’ and ‘Most creative approach’ votes; 1 point for each ‘Additional’ vote your clue received. Its probably time I admitted I don't understand how the favourite clue points are assigned. In particular the second part of the explanation above about 'additional points'. I couldn't figure it out at the time 1st round scores being posted but didn't bother my head about it. I can see I seem to have got one point for my one vote (thanks, whoever) but why did DG only get four but shadow got 10? Or is the last number added in next to the players name not always the favourite clue points. DG had two votes in the most creative category as well as winning the funny aha round with seven votes. Shouldn't he at leastget two more points? Can someone explain where I am going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah, never updated my answers. Very few points this round. I'm going to blame the fact that I'm fasting and will claim diminished mindfulness. Yeah... that's it.At least I submit clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Castellan, I think I understand the fave votes. I got 4 for winning the funny aha category. shadow took 8 for winning both the other two categories. All extra points are awarded for the 1 point category, so shadow must have gotten two votes in that one whereas I didn't get any votes in that one. That 1 point vote is the only one that definitely counts, the four point votes only go to the winner of the category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ah thanks I never realised she won both categories. But I don't understand your explanation re the '1 point category'. I still don't understand that. I swear I used to be a lot smarter. This is just one symptom.Castellan, I think I understand the fave votes.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The "1 point category" is the fourth vote at the bottom, for if you want to recognize a particularly great clue that just didn't meet the first three criteria. In a game with 10 players, if everyone voted for player A's clue in that category, player A would get 9 points (because player A couldn't vote for him/her self). I think.

Woofless Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If I understand it correctly, and maybe I don't.In the first three categories you have to get more points than anyone else and then you get four points for winning it.In the last (fourth) category you get whatever points people vote for you, so even if you don't win the category you will get those points. I think that's the way it is. But I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh Thank you Woofless and Lady B. now I get it. I thought there was a fourth category on the form I voted on in round 1, but then I decided I must have imagined it. When I look at my explanation here about the 'disappearing' category I have to laugh. I just hope I never have to follow the instructions on how to inflate a raft in an emergency or anything.

Bendubz Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ugh! I said Rickon for one Arya and for one Osha, which left a pair of LS! Oy vey! ETA: And that meant my theme was way out, went for double names with Rickon as the odd one out (second name being shaggydog) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaena Sandship Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Woofless explained it the easiest: in the first three categories only the clues with most votes get points, and it's always 4 points. So if seven of you vote for clue #1 as 'Best wording', it will win 4 points and the votes of the six players (who voted for other clues) won't count. If you want to make sure a clue gets at least 1 point, no matter how other players vote, you put it in the 'Additional vote' category. If seven of you vote for clue #1 as 'Additional vote', it will get 7 points, and the clues the other six players voted for will also get points - one for each vote.

yomi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Apropos fav votes, I hope I assumed correctly that it is peferctly fine to vote for the same clue in more than one category... I considered to give all my votes to #9 this round. (In the end I decided to vote for #2 as funniest... which probably shows that I'm a horrible person, thinking that poor Theon's suffering could be funny...)

Rhaena Sandship Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yes, it is perfectly fine to vote for the same clue in multiple categories. To be honest, I consider voting for any clue but #2 in all categories a serious lack of taste. It's funny, the approach is definitely unusual and creative and so is the wording :) But then again, I can't vote, so it's up to you, guys! I am missing only one vote now.
