Fragile Bird Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 ROUND 1 SubmissionsIt seems appropriate to start this game with the first death in the book. Ser Waymar Royce, an arrogant young lordling of only 18 or 19, foolishly ignored wiser words from a more experienced ranger and had the misfortune to have a run-in with a group of Others, who made short shrift of him.Of course, Waymar didn't stay 'dead' for very long, being turned into a wight shortly after his death, but he did die.Here lies SER WAYMAR ROYCE ...1. Adamant Bold Leader … and very cold undead grunt2. A brave lad ably ventured, commanding unfaithful Gared.3. Ambitiously Brave, Lordly Ascetic Vanished Chasing Unidentified Grumkins4. A Brave Lad - Alas, Vile Creatures' Unfortunate Game.5. 'Another Brother's life already vanquished. C U,' - Gared6. A bonafide lordling, albeit vain. Cocksure until gutting.7. Attacked by lactescent ambulators. Viscerated coldly, unflinchingly, ghoulishly.8. Abundantly bold, lusted after victory, cunning, undeniably graceful.9. A Brother's Lamentation: Arrogant Valiance Creates Unwise Gallantry10. AnOther, be(k)nighted lord Alas Very cold. Unpleasantly gored.11. Another brother laid a-rest Viciously cut, unholy guest12. A Brother's Life: Alien, Volatile, Cold, Unforgiving, Gone13. Arrogant Badass, Lamented and Vainglorious. Corpse Unaccounted Gravely.14. Aspiring brave lordling's antecedent venture "caught" unexpected guests.15. Alas brave lad! A vacant, corpseless, unoccupied grave.Please vote till Tuesday, June 23rd, 10 pm EST.1. <Submission #> Best grave epitaph suggestion2. <Submission #> Second best grave epitaph suggestion3. <Submission #> Third best grave epitaph suggestion4. <Submission #> Fourth best grave epitaph suggestion Late entries will be accepted, but you will lose your 1 point for submitting an entry.

Fragile Bird Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 ROUND 2We started with Ser Waymar, next should be Ned Stark.Poor Ned. Loyal, honest, naïve, cut a deal that wasn't honoured. Lost his head. We know he should end up in the crypts under Winterfell, but his bare bones are in transit, somewhere, and may never be found. A beautiful stone statue of Ned has been carved and is waiting for him.Here lies Eddard Stark...Your acronym is ONCPYour deadline is Tuesday, June 23rd, 10 pm EST. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 There are too many I like. It never happens! Must be a Christmas miracle :ninja: first 3. Ambitiously Brave, Lordly Ascetic Vanished Chasing Unidentified Grumkins (Because it was the only official version of the NW)second 10. AnOther, be(k)nighted lord Alas Very cold. Unpleasantly gored. (I very much like 'benighted')third 1. Adamant Bold Leader … and very cold undead grunt (It looks like someone tried to be nice at the beginning of it and then gave up. Maybe Edd. :ninja: )fourth 15. Alas brave lad! A vacant, corpseless, unoccupied grave. (The only one I think might stand in the Vale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofless Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Really hard to choose - they are all sooo good! Congrats to everyone. Imagining that I'm reading this on a gravestone, I finally managed to pick four out of the rest. First... 11. Another brother laid a-rest Viciously cut, unholy guest Second... 15. Alas brave lad! A vacant, corpseless, unoccupied grave. Third... 6. A bonafide lordling, albeit vain. Cocksure until gutting. Fourth... 9.

Ser Not Appearing Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've got a handful for the left over thread. Had trouble picking between accurate and sounds like an epitaph and includes only information the Watch would know. Still don't know what I think these should represent so I'm going to hold off on voting for a bit and mull these over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Very hard to choose. The first round sets an extremely high standard! My reasoning is basically awesome in general balanced against what would actually maybe be put on a headstone. 1. 7. Attacked by lactescent ambulators. Viscerated coldly, unflinchingly, ghoulishly. You had me at lactescent ambulators. Also viscerated. 2. 13. Arrogant Badass, Lamented and Vainglorious. Corpse Unaccounted Gravely. Nice play on words at the end, and of course points for eloquent use of the word badass. 3. 1. Adamant Bold Leader … and very cold undead grunt Simple, to the point, utterly truthful. And it's awesome that you worked in the tragedy of his demotion from living leader to non-living expendable foot-soldier. 4. 8. Abundantly bold, lusted after victory, cunning, undeniably graceful. I tried to use graceful in mine. Special Honorable mention to entry 9, which almost made it in to my votes. Standards HMs to 3, 6, 10 and 11. And of course kudos to all. This was a tough round.

She who must be Obeyed Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I am so excited, my first vote. 1st - 11. Another brother laid a-rest Viciously cut, unholy guest. This is exactly what I had hoped to do. But did not have it in me. 2nd - 10. AnOther, be(k)nighted lord Alas Very cold. Unpleasantly gored. Alas another wonderful rhyme, that might have been mine - if I were a poet 3rd - 1. Adamant Bold Leader … and very cold undead grunt. I really liked this one for its before and after imagery 4th - 15. Alas brave lad! A vacant, corpseless, unoccupied grave. This was just too blunt and true not to get my vote. many others were oh so worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Howland Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I just got a new PC and it's not letting me cut and paste the way I'm used to. My votes are 1) 11 2) 15 3) 6 and 4) 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Howland Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 FYI. whoever came up with clue #11 I am incredibly impressed. A difficult character with 8 difficult letters and you made it rhyme and flow naturally. One of the best entries I've seen playing this game.
