[...] Please vote for your favourite clue via PM until Monday, the 2nd April, 10 am Central European time. Well, given that the next 2nd April is in 2018, I guess I cannot complain that I haven't received favourite votes from some people yet. In order to end the game this year, though, please send in your round 3 votes till Tuesday, 3rd May 2016, 7 pm Central European time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I fear, Fragile Bird made a quiet good point wehen she told me this: Quote BTW, I think you will have a problem with your return date being next Monday. It's just past 6:30 pm here and I finally got on. With GoT on tv on Sunday night, it might be wise to move the date to next Tuesday. So I guess I have to do that. New deadline for round 4 guesses and round 5 hints: Tuesday, the 10th May, 10 am Central European time. Btw, that doesn't mean that you should wait till the last minute. Use the time you have now!

Lady Blizzardborn 68 11. lil' ghost 53 Perfectly guessing SWMBO remains in the leading position. Fragile Bird guessed just as well and had the better liked clue, using unusual words like "postmenly", and is catching up. Castellan had maybe the best hint this round - while everyone guessed it correctly, it didn't seem too obvious - and passes a shadow again. Sadly, this is the last round Lady Blizzardborn plays with us, because she has much Real Life stuff to do. Don't let them stress you too much!

Castellan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Congrats everybody. I was not sure about the three direwolves for a while. Both the Shaggydog clue and the Summer clue seemed to point to wolves having eaten someone and I was pretty sure Shaggy hadn't & Summer and Nymeria had. Also, with the Shaggy clue I thought it could be some other animal (with 'sharp teeth' - like a cat). I tried searching 'messenger' in the wiki for the victim. Then, although Nymeria seemed obvious, Summer has also led a pack, as had Varamyr's One-eye. It all resolved when I finally got 'Season, truly' (duh!) which I had interpreted as 'its winter'. I voted for the Summer clue because of this good element which gives you the answer clearly but managed to slide by me for ages. Sorry to see you go for a while, Lady B.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'll be back in a couple weeks, Castellan. Got a school carnival to help organize, and an SCA Spring Crown Tourney at which to sing. BTW, and way OT...that song I've been working on is (still not finished) finally blessed/cursed with a title. I call it Winter Is Coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night'sQueen Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Great round! I always hoped for an animal round so thanks, Yomi! I had Viserion for #9 instead of Shaggydog. Didn't look up "postmen" at all but since a repast is a meal and Viserion made a meal of a guard, I thought postmen could be referring to posted guards. Plus, dragons! Where are the dragons?!?! Sorry to hear Lady B will be out for a while. p.s. This round is going to require actually looking some stuff up (for me). Better get started...

a free shadow Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I am not sure which is better for the game - if I dropped out, or if I kept submitting the rushed clues I do not like. The rushed guessing part was actually nice the last round - although it really was just guessing for a few clues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomi Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Vote for your favourite round 4 hint! 1. Originally redoubt, anchorage - wyvern's Wharf Royal. - King's Landing 2. Offing ruler, adversity we weather regularly. - Pentos They kill their prince when trouble comes and choose a new one. 3. Oceanside - Rock Above - Westerlands - Wharf - *roar* - Lannisport 4. Ostentation rendered arrogantly. Walled, weeping ready. - Qarth 5. Tokars? Yes. Ghiscari? Seldom. Maroon. - Astapor Tokars identify slaver's bay, ghiscari (the language) is seldom spoken anymore, and maroon, or brownish red bricks and dust are identified with Astapor in the wiki. 6. Toward yonder graces, Skahazdhan's mouth. - Meereen While the Graces are found in many cities, they are centered in Meereen's Temple of the Graces. Meereen is located at the mouth of the Skahazdhan river, which is mentioned in the wiki article on Meereen, but curiously not mentioned on the Skahazdhan entry. 7. One reaches anchorage watching waving ragpyckers. - Oldtown This is based on the excellent harbor at oldtown which has moored sailors for over a thousand years and mentions ragpyckers wynd (a street) which is in the wiki. 8. Trees you get shipped, mostly. - Braavos 9. This yielding gob smells mermaidy. - White Harbour Quote If Winterfell was the heart of the north, White Harbor was its mouth.[18] ” – thoughts of Davos Seaworth's thoughts But White Harbor's scent was sharp and salty, and a little fishy too. "She smells the way a mermaid ought to smell," Roro said. "She smells of the sea."[2] ” – recollection of Davos Seaworth 10. Taken. Yolky generals soon mocked. - Yunkai Yunkai was taken. Yolky to require thought, since searching yellow brings Yellow City near the top of the list. The rest refers to the ridiculous names given to the leaders of the Yunkai army, the one with too many generals and names that were unpronounceable. 11. Onyx ringed area wants war, readies. - Volantis Theme: Port cities If you want to add an explanation to your clue or change the current one, you can still do so. Please vote for your favourite clue via PM until Sunday, the 15th May, 1 pm Central European time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm still missing two new clues, and if I understood correctly, some other people would like to work more on theirs, too, so there isn't a new clue list to work on yet. I will post the round 5 clues on Sunday, the 15th May, 1 pm Central European time. So, if you want to improve your round 5 hint, please do it till then.

yomi Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well... I was missing a clue and seven votes this noon, and I'm still missing that clue and four votes. It's quiet late here now, and I want to go to bed now because tomorrow I'm going n holiday, so I don't want to post the round 4 results now, because that post takes some time. That means you're having time to vote till next Friday, because I won't write that post in Vienna, either. (But I will most likely write short answers to PMs). I've came up with some additions to the unfinished round 5 clue, though, so you'll get the round 5 list to work on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Round 5 hints: 1. Cautiously governing rebellious, unruly marches. 2. Idea transporters, weirwood, escutcheon, scarlet 3. It's tournament wagged eyebrows. Surprises.... 4. Icy tribe. Winter's emblazoned star. 5. Intimidating, terrorizing warriors...estranged siblings. 6. Irrecoverable? Trident. Wyvern's enduring servants. 7. Inception: Trustworthy warrior, electrically saved. 8. Island troupe won't ever sow. 9. Crown gained rebelling. Usurpers? Murderer? 10. Iron tribe with emblazoned scythe. 11. Cordoned garrison rewarded underhanded mariner. Please hand in your answers until Wednesday, the 25th May, 10 am Central European time.
