Fragile Bird

Recommended Posts

If we do a round about Quentyn, I demand this acronym: DDDDD DDDDD DDDDD

Is this it? :rolleyes:

For the mass production in Dorne, the little souvenir gravestones say only Daring Dornishmen Die Dramatically. Duh.

It is amazing how in each game there's been someone who writes an excellent entry that everyone really likes. This time around a shadow shows us all how to do it, winning a marvellous 6 first place votes. But steady Emmit hangs on to first over shadow, Woofless slips to third and Julia H. and Stonehearted Snake hang on to 4th and 5th respectively, while Dolorous Gabe moves into 6th.

Well played, everyone, considering how you all thought you wrote lacklustre entries!

ROUND 6 Submissions

Once again, we look north, but this time it is someone from the south, someone who died at sea, not on terra firma, and sadly got stuffed into a barrel and pickled until he could be brought to land. Maester Aemon.

A man who came from the family of kings and queens. And dragons. Aemon Targaryen. A wise man, a gentle man, a kind man, a man who knew the meaning of sacrifice. He went to the wall rather than taking the crown. He lived a long, and I think, happy life, secret heartaches notwithstanding, dying at the age of 102.

Your watch has ended, Maester Aemon...

1. Greatness Survives Within,

To Dragonbone Akin.

2. Good-bye! Superb watch terminated, dear Aemon.

3. Greatness sadly wasted

Targaryen despite abdication

4. Genealogy

Seldom weaves the destiny

Actuality

5. Grief, sacrifices - wisdom toughened, dutiful always.

6. Go Stay With The Dead, Aemon.

7. Godspeed sweet watcher. Today death answered.

8. Grand servant.

Wise, temperate.

Dragon ascends.

9. Gently step, wintering there dragon asleep.

10. Grandmaester's Slow Walk Towards Dragonly Ancestors.

11. Going South with Tarly, Dragon abdicated

12. Good Sleep, Watcher. The Dragon Arises.

13. Gifted scholar’s watch terminated.

Dragon adieu.

14. Gentle sage's watch terminated.

Deceased.

Ascended.

15. Gracious, selfless, wise.

Targaryen Dragon,

Arise.

16. Go softly Watcher. The Dragon arrives.

17. Grieved silently. Watched tirelessly. Dutiful, absolutely.

Once again, for all the problems you had, you rose to the occasion!

Please vote for your top 5 entries by Thursday, July 9, 10:00 pm EST

ROUND 7


We started the game with the first death, so we really should end with the last death. But that's a pretty dreary character, Kevan Lannister. The big death at the end of A Dance with Dragons is Jon Snow. But that would make him our third member of the Night's Watch, and how many jokes can we make about stabbity stabbity stabbities? And we don't even know if he really is dead, after all.

Oh what the hell. Let's be evil!

Here Lies Quentyn Martell.

Your acronym is DDDD FFFF.

Your deadline is Thursday, July 9th, 10:00 pm EST.

Enjoy! :devil:
