Emmit Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Well, every round is a chance to decrease my lead.So I am voting for 2 rounds only.However if I am in the minority I'll go with the group wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehearted Snake Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I really like this topic, it's forcing me to be really creative and the answers are really funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It is one of my favorite entries of all time! Thanks! :) I was glad when you wrote "The North Remembers!" next to my entry. It was good to see the paraphrase was recognizable. A number of people have commented to me about having 10 rounds - how does everyone feel about the idea?Is this a fun topic? I'm fine with 10 rounds - why not? My votes: 1st 14. Benevolent, Gallant, Youthful prize. His righteous life, purloined at sunrise. 2nd 13. By gods, you pass hereafter, ruling lands past always summer. 3rd 8. Begone guilt, yesterday's petty harms - Relish life's peaches, after storms 4th 3. Beloved Gentle Young Peach Here Rests. Lamentably Pitted Against Stannis. 5th 15. Bye, Gallant Young Potential Hero, R'hllor's Light Produced A Shadow. Wow, this was difficult! Great entries!

rocksniffer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 ...and see I was really trying to be serious last round and i choked.. i believe that if this is supposed to be headstones multiple lines make sense. some of the entries are more of an obituary than epitaph. however i seem to suck at both so hey cheers to me i'll take a glass of wine ...vote to follow gotta think this one over.

Fragile Bird Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I have had several very strong objections to lengthening the game, so I am leaving it at 7 rounds. :)I think that's fair - a 10 round game should be announced from the start. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night'sQueen Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This one was really difficult, people! First: 8. Begone guilt, yesterday's petty harms - Relish life's peaches, after storms Second: 14. Benevolent, Gallant, Youthful prize. His righteous life, purloined at sunrise. Third: 4. Bereft. Graceful, youthful, playful Hart! <------ I adore the use of "Hart" here! :bowdown: Right, left. Picaresque avengers start. Fourth: 13. By gods, you pass hereafter, ruling lands past always summer. Fifth: 9. Bummer! Gone! Young prince’s hallmark rainbows lost. Pernicious Asshai spawn. <-------- Excellent line!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegon the Poached Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm happy with any length. i just hope another game starts soon after this one is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Has including a carriage return in your submission now become a key to victory? I was going to encourage you to vote only for those without carriage returns, until I counted them and realised even with such a rule in place I'd get no votes.

Aegon the Poached Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I don't see how carriage returns are even a discussion point. Most of these would be no different without them, they just make it easier to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 For those of you worried about your submissions....many are having difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night'sQueen Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 ^^ Yeah, this one is tough. :/ In the meantime I made up my own epitaph for this round (SOCR ALIIRS) Self-conscious of carriage returnsand lacking inspirationI reluctantly submit.

Castellan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Before I know who you are and this becomes embarrassing I just want to say when I first read #3 I felt a gentle wave of love for whoever came up with 'young peach...lamentably pitted'.

She who must be Obeyed Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Wow really difficult they all have positive qualities. 1) #14 - I don't know if he died at sun rise I thought he was getting undressed but I really like the way it looks on a grave in my mind ;) 2) #15 - I really liked "potential hero" 3) #9 - I really enjoyed this because it uses two of my favorite words, Bummer and Spawn! 4) #3 - This is just sweet, and even though I am not generally hung up on sweet, this one got to me 5) #8 - I was torn but ultimated chose this as my last pick because it had peaches in it in a cool way. Very philosophical. ^^ Yeah, this one is tough. :/ In the meantime I made up my own epitaph for this round (SOCR ALIIRS) Self-conscious of carriage returnsand lacking inspirationI reluctantly submit. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
