lil' ghost Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 no such surge in submissions or entries, but that's okay. We all have lives outside of games. So, um, 20 hour extension. 12:30 EDT Friday, August 5th ETA: otherwise, I won't have the time for host things until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I now strongly regret not choosing the option I thought was better but felt would be less popular. it shall be added to the leftovers thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I never seem to have any leftovers. But maybe that's because I do not take the time to prepare more than one acro. no wonder I am doing poorly, with the exception of one round (the Dany round made me feel warm and fuzzy inside).

I voted for yours for first place. I got my votes posted just under the wire, before the results went up. You and me both. Anything would have been better than what I wrote. Mud sticking on a wall, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't always have leftovers myself. Sometimes I come up with just one thing, sometimes I have more. The most I ever had was over a dozen, and that spawned a game of its own. But more doesn't always equal better, sometimes it just means I can't come up with anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I want to say that I like my prophecies a little on the puzzling side. If you think of the prophecies in the books, they are all open to multiple interpretation....or are downright obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil' ghost Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'd like to go another round, but I want everyone to get a fair last chance because some will be too busy next week. I'm gonna make this the final round. Round 8: Littlefinger P M T C L B N Due Wednesday Noon EDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think of the prophecies in the books, they are all open to multiple interpretation....or are downright obscure. I agree, but it's a very tricky balance to perfect between puzzling and saying something. i have been trying to make prophecies with multiple interpretations but I think it is acceptable if it is obvious to us but wouldn't be to the character at the time of being said. I tried a different tactic last round. It did have two variations of its meaning but it was relatively blunt. Littlefinger? This should be interesting!

Raisin' Bran Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 1st: 12. Flower safely, overlooked. Change guile into the true wolf. (fairly vague) 2nd: 2. Fatherfull son of caring, go into the terrible wild. (Sounds like the house of the undying) 3rd: 6. Forget summer. Only covert, genealogically interesting, Targaryens tame winter. (maddeningly unhelpful) 4th: 11. Future sways on cousin greenseer imparting trees' true wisdom. (cousin?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
