Ser Not Appearing Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 So many I didn't take/have time to consider. Catelyn for 10 is a surprisingly good answer I never considered. The italics kill it a bit, but that an interesting guess. I like these clues significantly more with answers than I did trying to guess them within 5 minutes.

Fragile Bird Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yes, on my first go round I said Catelyn for 10, mainly because my copy and paste did not pick up the italics. But it didn't fit exactly well, and I decided 8 was a better fit for her. Next I pencilled in Lyanna, for the faithfully, but decided to go back and re-read every little clue crumb rocksniffer dropped, and I also saw the emphasis on faith. That's when the theme clunked on my head with a bang, so I searched....I guess I can say this, everyone has submitted their answers....Tyrion's Wiki page and the next penny dropped.

a free shadow Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I thought the 10th was for either Jon Snow or Eddard Stark, although I agree that italics pointed to Lemore more. Can we still guess the theme, as it is not yet revealed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I managed to guess Osha, but my thinking was entirely different. I thought of the old iron swords in the crypts guarding the living from the spirits of the dead. Those swords are corroded so the spirits may be free now. Osha took Ned's sword. There are other characters who noticed this or took a sword, but Osha fit my theme guess best. Regarding #10, I noticed the emphasis on faith, but my first guess was R'hllor-oriented: I thought of Selyse, who assumes that another child would be given to her and Stannis if they remarried in the light of the Red God. I still think it's a very good answer to that clue, but Lemore is good as well. I finally managed to guess her as Selyse didn't fit with my theme... I missed Shae though, because I totally misinterpreted consort and looked for someone royal. I even wondered how Shae could be missing from this pageantry of beauties, but I couldn't place her, and my wrong guess, Arianne, seemed to fit.

I thought of the old iron swords in the crypts guarding the living from the spirits of the dead. As I think, the explanation for the Osha clue is twofold. First, she is "a free agent" who choose freely where her allegiances lie and who broke through the ironborn guard.("Corroding agent" is also chemistry!). And the second one is that she also took one of the iron swords that is supposed to guard graves in the crypts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I missed Osha due to lack of punctuation. If "free" had been offset either by a comma or a period (making it its own very powerful little sentence) it would have made a huge difference. As it was I thought it referred to the guard first and was thinking Justin Massey because he guarded Asha. Then I asked if the subject of the clue was the guard and the answer was no, so I figured it was the guarded and went with Asha. Didn't get Septa Lemore either, though in hindsight the italics on "faith" should have given me something. I was thinking about children we know were given to others, so I guessed Lyanna Stark, and thought that "faithfully" had to do with Ned and the Stark devotion to the Old Gods. I understand the clue better with the explanation but I'm hung up on the word given. We don't know she gave away her child, it could have died. Or am I just reading it wrong? Going on very little sleep lately so I fully admit I could be seriously wrong with my interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think 3 just has no grammatical clues about how to interpret it, I wished I had answered it purely on gut associations - I kept thinking it was Osha. #10 was so ambiguous In the end I just went on the 'Faith' hint -. although as Tyene is speculated to be her daughter I initially went with her. I think I mucked up the theme too. My brain just doesn't work sometimes. Or rather it works, badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyene's mother lives in the Reach. She and Arianne, and another Sand Snake or two have visited her. Please excuse my going off-game here. I was up literally all night last night, and I'm fried.

Castellan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Lady b; I didn't say it was correctly.... actually I thought it was bit cheeky to incorporate a minor fan theory into a clue ... but the person hadn't. 17 hours ago, a free shadow said: I thought the 10th was for either Jon Snow or Eddard Stark, although I agree that italics pointed to Lemore more. Can we still guess the theme, as it is not yet revealed? I thought that was possible also, and I thought a corroded iron guarding agent could be Theon (iron born) or Jaime (guardian of iron throne) because they are both corroded (have lost bits, although not from a corrosive agent unless you see GRRM as a corrosive agent). Anyway, I asked a yes no question which eliminated them, and promptly made up something implausible for the iron agent one and changed a correct clue to incorrect, thus keeping the same score.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well that was not my theme guess. I thought it was women who had their looks remarked on with the words beauty, beautiful, or lovely. Arya didn't fit my guess until I added lovely, but all the rest did--with my wrong answers in the mix, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 For a while I thought the theme was women who bathed on page, but some of the answers I was sure of didn't, so I settled for "appeared naked on page". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
