Lady Blizzardborn Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I was close-ish on the theme. I'd narrowed it down to an entire region. If only my head wasn't hurting/spinning so much lately I might have taken the next step and gotten Harrenhal. Great clues this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I was forgetting a centaur reference but couldn't remember the website people use for searching actual text. Typically, I exclude characters we didn't see in actual text (not alive as of the story) ... so that hurt. A Search of Ice and Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe 29+24=53 9. lil' ghost 20 The round was won by Castellan, the first player to submit a perfect set of answers, well ahead of everyone else, while spending only one point on questions and jumping to second place in the overall race. The runner-up in this round is She Who Must Be Obeyed, who has managed to keep her first place in the game. Fragile Bird is still flying close behind them, after submitting a perfect set of preliminary guesses, without asking a single question even! The chasing pack includes all the other players who have had time to research the clues and the theme. Dolorous Gabe and lil' ghost had to dedicate their time and energy to real life issues and so they couldn't focus on the game this round, while Destiel's Child is too busy to continue participating. Gabe nevertheless has won the favourite clue contest this round. To be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 ROUND 3 CLUES 1. “Wer imagines naked young amazon.” Motley-burner! 2. Wounded. Infamous nickname. Yesterday's absconder, 'morrow's burier? 3. Walker invalidator. Needs yon academic mentor's backing. 4. Wretched in nuptials. Yonder, a malefactor banished. 5. Winter's Inglourious niño. Yearning always...mother...birthright. 6. Crown's dalliance, orphan collector. 7. Counter detained overturning chalice. 8. Commander's disguise - often common. 9. Westy is notorious. (Youthful assassin!) Missing - brotherhood? 10. Conqueror(?) dreams of corpses. Theme??? There is one character this round that is significantly more obscure than the others. Be careful with that clue and be suspicious if you think you know the answer but one word doesn't seem to fit the character you are thinking of... Deadline: Since you may want to take a few days off these games due to celebrations and family events, the deadline will be a bit longer this time. Nevertheless, if you are ready with your answers sooner and you agree to move on, we will. Or, if you want an extension, I will understand. But for now, it is: 10 a.m. (Central European Time) on Saturday 31st December. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I have sent out the characters for Round 4 to give you all enough time to make the clues.

Julia H. Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 General information for everyone who may be working on the clues: The bold letters in Clue #1 mark the subject of the clue, to make it clear that it's neither the amazon, nor the speaker of the "quote" . If you copy-paste the clues, make sure you keep the formatting, because it may be important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia H. Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 It seems celebrations and Acrophilia aren't always compatible because I haven't even heard from some of you. Also, an extension has been requested. Therefore (supposing that New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are Acrophilia-wise practically non-existent) the new deadline is ... 7 p.m. (Central European Time) on Tuesday, January 3rd. P.S. Please, remember to make the new clue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have found a theme. Its that my brain apparently only works every second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She who must be Obeyed Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Happy New Year everyone! I fear my position is in dire jeopardy, since the holidays have ruined any chance I had, so good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've learned this game that chronic headaches actually improve my performance in Acrophilia. Maybe they keep me from overthinking as much as I normally do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
