Howlin' Howland Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This was the first time I've played this game that I was so frustrated I rage quit. I'd like to thank Bird for being OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofless Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I was hoping that this fix, upgrade, whatever it was, would enable me to 'search' again. But no such luck. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmit Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Apparently, anything posted on the site (like this very post here) until the upgrade is re-upgraded will be lost to the Internets forever. I do not know who is hosting the next game, but we definitely need to wait until things are new, sparkly, and running smooth before starting again.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is the voting done for the no-points round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 No one seems to want to vote, but the board being down hasn't helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a free shadow Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sad board. No game :frown5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehearted Snake Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sad board. No game :frown5:Wait until after upgrades? Maybe we could take this time to choose a theme since it doesn't matter so much if that is lost as we will remember, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, since everything is supposed to be lost between now and the upgrade, no use starting a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The host always has final say on the new topic, but it is fun coming up with ideas. It could be quite tricky, but I just imagined an idea where we rewrite a quote from asoiaf, as D&D like to do. Take the context of the scene in question and rewrite the quote using an acronym. It could say the same thing said differently or it could be a completely different interpretation of the scene. Not sure if it would work but thought I'd hoist it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. :) A more specific version could be the abridgement of a longer text (like a letter or a song) from ASOIAF, using an acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Interesting. :) A more specific version could be the abridgement of a longer text (like a letter or a song) from ASOIAF, using an acronym. I was in a "Pride & Prejudice" fan group that did this as a challenge in hopes of creating a calendar. Summarize the story in 12 sentences was the aim, but it wasn't a strict rule, so the varied results were pretty fun. I combined that with another challenge and condensed the novel into a series of limericks one night when I couldn't sleep. I think my favorite though was the one done as a Dr. Seuss book. They were all too long for the purposes of Acrophobia, but I submit this as proof that condensing can be done, and done well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegon the Poached Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What if the theme was alternative house words? Each round we get a different house, and we have to use the acronym to propose a new motto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
