Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 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'. Oh man! I totally missed the pun! Not like me at all. Must check my temperature now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegon the Poached Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 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 ;) Yep, he died at sunrise.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yep, he died at sunrise. I thought he died just before sunrise. With the sun up the shadow would be less effective. Despite what Mel says, they are creatures of darkness. The shadows come to dance, my lord... The shadows come to stay, my lord... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehearted Snake Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I thought sunrise was when the battle was to begin according to Stannis but he came before sunrise to get the advantage of Renly not being prepared. But I might be getting the show confused with books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocksniffer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 i concur with everyone saying it was at dawn according to wiki and ACoK...i think show sorta gave indication he was undressing but i won't swear since i was probably drinking while i was watching... time for a re-read, graycie (SwmbO)...it will help build your character to spend some time north of the wall... ...and your post count... :smoking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm just going by the wiki. That quote says he was preparing for a dawn battle when he was slain. If the battle hadn't started, it wasn't dawn yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She Who Must Be Obeyed 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13 And once again Emmit manages to stay in first place, but the competition is creeping up fast. Stoned Snake moves into 2nd place with a great entry and took half the first-vote points, together with Ser Not Appearing who has powered up to 5th place. Julia H. is in 3rd, but another person who had a great entry moves into 4th, a shadow. For those of you who were sad not to get as many votes as you thought you would, I want to say every entry was strong , but it was a very strong group overall and it can be tough to get votes in those circumstances. I feel I must mention the first entry that came in was Ser Not Appearing's submission, and it just blew me away, with his gentle peach pitted by Stannis. And a shadow's very poetic entry also impressed me, 2 wonderful entries among a batch of wonderful entries. :) As usual, please double-check the vote count.

Fragile Bird Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 ROUND 4 SubmissionsSo many deaths to choose from, what to do, what to do...The death that shocked us all as much as, if not worse than, Ned's death was the death of his son, Robb Stark. You poor brave lad. King of the North, dead at 16. Betrayed by allies. Your head chopped off and the head of your direwolf sewn on your neck. Do we even know what happened to his body? I don't think so...For his epitaph, I think of something pithy, like those great words used in the American West, He died with his boots on.We remember Robb Stark...1. Some paths grimly instigate man's ruination.2. Silent prayer: Gods, inspire my realm.3. Strong, Proud, Gallant, Infallible. Mortals Remember!4. Still proudly growling, "I maintain resistance."5. STARK Passerby gaze inwards momentarily. ~ Remember ~6. Son persisted gamely; insolently murdered - renegades!7. Suddenly, painfully, grievously impaled. Mother's regret.8. Strong, proud, gone in mere ruse.9. Sew... Poor Greywind Is My Replacement?10. Snow piles grief. Ice metes revenge.11. Severed promise. Grey, immortal mourning reigns.12. Stunned, poor Greywind. In misery remembered.13. Skillfully Played. "Greetings" Intention Maliciously Relayed!14. Southrons proudly guard, Incised many regards.15. Seldom Pretentious, Gleefully Idealistic, Monstrously Robbed.16. Sadly pretenders get important marriages red.People kept telling me what a hard time they were having, and kept telling me their entries were lousy. But now that I have looked at the list, guess what? You're wrong! They are different than Renly's but the words are pithier.And some people gave me the choice to run their entries as a single line or to make them look like they were on a tombstone. I went with the tombstone. :)Good luck, everyone.Please vote for your 5 top entries until Thursday, July 2, 10:00 pm EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sorry this took so long, but I had just about finished the list when my post disappeared, and auto saving only saved the first few lines. :( I had to re-do the whole thing.

Fragile Bird Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 ROUND 5We could go with Catelyn, or Gregor, but since we've already done the undead, I thought we'd go for Tywin Lannister. As a man of few words, for the most part, and a rich man who would have quite the mausoleum, I shall switch back to more letters. King's Hand, betrayer, wily son-of-a-b, a man not to be crossed, a father who loved his children...not quite...a man known to have loved his wife. Rich, ruthless, arrogant. Does he rest in peace?TYWIN LANNISTER:Your acronym is: RAILM JNYNF[Er, those letters look brutal :o ]Your deadline is Thursday, July 2, 10:00 pm EST.
