Dolorous Gabe Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I ended up buying a second hint to the 5th clue. I didn't buy one for the 9th. Other than the 9th, only one other clue did I not buy a hint to. A few of them I accept I was either lazy in buying a clue when I could have researched and figured it out or silly for not seeing it. I think sometimes having the purchasable hint makes me lazy, but it is also sometimes useful if I simply don't have the time to do the necessary research.

She who must be Obeyed Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, good job, DG! and to whom ever got the correct list. Clues 8 and 5 were miseries and I still don't have confidence in my answers. And after my 2 attempts at theme, I had to just take a shot into the dark. I am sure I will feel stupid when the theme is revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia H. Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 It's about an hour and a half till the deadline now. If you want to change anything or add a theme guess, you can still do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I literally have near random names thrown in on multiple of these simply because Google returned their name based on a search of words in the clue. I'm guessing I have about 3 right... maybe 4... and not the theme. Definitely not the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 the theme is an illusion...it exists only in the 5th dimension when the moon is in the house of tarth...and jupiter aligns with freys...then chaos will guide planetos...and death will guide the starks ...

Because it was something to do and because if you would give me a house, I tear it down, just to see how the piping works The host had a mountain of patience. It must have been terrible for them.

Julia H. Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 ROUND THREE CLUES AND ANSWERS 1. About titans wildling impassioned sang. Answer: Ygritte. Explanation: She started singing the song The Last of the Giants. Some other wildlings joined (but not Mance), and Ygritte also wept for the giants (impassioned). Later giants remind Jon Snow of Ygritte. 2. Ever readily begins. Reply makes ends arise. Answer: Arthur Dayne Explanation: The Sword of the Morning, wielding Dawn, has the following dialogue with Ned Stark: "And now it begins," said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light. "No," Ned said with sadness in his voice. "Now it ends." 3. Erstwhile running boy, royal moron. Egregious assassination. Answer: Viserys Targaryen (Third of his Name) Explanation: Running boy refers to Viserys being a refugee as a child. Royal because of his descent, and moron because of his behaviour. We all know how he died. 4. Earnest, resolute, blue. Really...murderer??? Error, actually. Answer: Brienne the Blue Explanation: A description of Brienne’s personality (and “favourite” colour) as well as allusion to the fact that she was falsely accused of having killed Renly, when in fact the shadow baby did it. 5. Announces title wearing icy shield. Answer: Jon Snow My clue *ducks to avoid arrows*, don’t be tempted to vote for it. Explanation: The night before the Passage of the Wildlings, Jon Snow has a dream where he is alone atop the Wall, abandoned by all except the scarecrow brothers. He is armoured in black ice, wielding a burning sword. The attackers are trying to climb the Wall, and Jon Snow suddenly notices that he is fighting dead loved ones. He shouts “I am the Lord of Winterfell!” (a title) just before Robb appears. 6. Enmity aroused, being 'rapist, monster', egregious affair. Answer: Rhaegar Targaryen Explanation: Enmity between Rhaegar and Robert, who refers to Rhaegar with those words (hence the quotation marks). The result is war and death. 7. Extra "rope" borne round, manifesting earned authority. Answer: Khal Drogo Explanation: The “rope” is his long braid that is never cut because Drogo is never defeated in battle, which makes him a leader. 8. Elected 'Rex'. Baseborn relative. Mangled, evilly assassinated. Answer: Robb Stark Explanation: Robb was elected king. He has a bastard half-brother. Red Wedding. 9. “Abomination, troll!” Warden. Intelligent. Sneaky. Answer: Tywin Lannister Explanation: Tywin’s attitude to his younger son, his office and personality. Troll means ‘Tyrion’ here, which really fits, because trolls are sometimes “dwarfs” and sometimes giants. Tyrion is a dwarf but is called a giant repeatedly. Theme: Characters that have appeared in other characters’ dreams. Ygritte: Appears in Jon Snow’s dreams. Once they bathe in the hot pools of Winterfell with Eddard watching through the weirwood, and Ygritte also appears in Jon’s “Lord of Winterfell” dream described above. Arthur Dayne: Appears in Eddard’s fever dream and in Jaime’s weirwood dream. Viserys: Appears to Dany in a dream at the end of Dance. They chat. Brienne: Appears in Jaime’s weirwood dream. Jon Snow: Appears in Bran’s coma dream. Also shows up in a dream that Sam has. Rhaegar: Appears in Jaime’s weirwood dream. Drogo: Appears in Dany’s dream. Together they ride dragons instead of horses. Robb Stark: Appears in Theon’s “Feast of the Dead” dream and Jon’s “Lord of Winterfell” dream. Tywin Lannister: Also appears in Jaime’s weirwood dream. The special theme hint was that my clue (Jon Snow) described a dream scene. Technically, the Arthur Dayne clue did the same, but there the choice was limited. In the case of Jon, the use of a dream scene might have seemed a bit more peculiar. Don’t forget to vote! Deadline for voting: 10 p.m. Central European Time Wednesday 9th March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Damn it. I see where I screwed up. In my first set of prelims, I had Jon Snow for the answer, and when filling in the rest of the names I accidentally put in Robb Snow instead of Robb Stark. The weird thing when you do something like that is that you can look at it and not see it, so when Julia told me I had 4 right, I actually had 5 right. I was absolutely positive about Robb Stark, so I thought Jon Snow must be another member of the Night's Watch, and I went with Benjen because it had to be a Stark. Julia said to me, I don't know what to say about your guess to #8, and I thought she was yanking my chain because it had to be Robb Stark. I mean, when I looked at it, I was reading Robb Stark even though Robb Snow was there. I shoulda had a complete set of right answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 well i also had benjen for my nightswatch member ...with the rest right cause he was the only one of the night'swatch who i read as alone....he rode off on a ranging and was presumably left alone.... and i was sure clue 2 was the hint within a hint.... so i never considered dayne as a part of the theme.... ah well shit does happen congrats Gabe old chum...and who ever else pulled dreams out of their ass.... oh and yeah they all have some eye color that contains blue blue grey - ygritte blue - dayne purple - viserys (blue + red) blue - brienne blue - benjen indigo - rhaegar black - drogo (all colors including blue) blue - robb green - tywin (blue + yellow) now read that shit and weep.... and hey darling host...i thought your clue was not part of the theme just a hint to the theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think I got two... but I should get at least partial points on my theme guess and potentially full points, depending on leniency. A few clues I like my answer better. At least one much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with only half points or whatever close gets you (hopefully that's not zero but, if so, then zero) but there's a strong case for saying that, in this series, dreams and prophecies are rather synonymous.
