I think I have the theme but am having a very hard time with some of the clues fitting the theme. I'm back to my usual no-clue-what-the-theme-is status. You'd think I'd be better at a game I inspired. *shakes head, gets dizzy, reminds self not to shake head today* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I solve the problem of answers not matching themes by guessing extremely vague themes that could fit most of the characters in the series. For example: "characters with vowels in their names" only rules out those of Ghiscari descent. I'd actually rather get all the answers right and not get the theme than get the theme and have wrong answers. Mine is a strange kind of perfectionism.

I think #2 is pretty damn obvious. It was #9 which drove me crazy and only getting the theme meant I could get it. Prior to that I had a list of about 6 possibles.

rocksniffer Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 yes Castellan, my dear. it was obvious once i knew ...well the information i needed...but it tripped me up and i got 9 once i was sure of theme but i wanted it to be someone else...

Julia H. Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 The deadline passed several hours ago. Some players haven't had time to complete the puzzle, which is understandable at this time of the year. Still, no one has asked for an extension. I think I will post the answers within an hour or so unless someone asks me to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 ROUND 2 CLUES AND ANSWERS 1. Ran away? Snatched? (Fiancé is storming.) Northern siren. Lyanna Stark – It is still a question whether Lyanna went with Rhaegar willingly or not. Robert, the storming Storm Lord, is the fiancé. 2. Necrosis concreting extension - indubitably luckless. Jon Connington – Reference to greyscale. 3. Nearsighted, crippled, eventual identity, "lefty". Jaime Lannister – The first word means “rash, not thinking ahead’, while lefty refers to Jaime’s efforts to make his left hand more skillful. 4. Robust anointer. Ser “Fleeing Impossible”. Safeguard, not scrutinize. Ser Gerold Hightower, the White Bull – A very strong man; as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, he fastened the white cloak about Jaime’s shoulder; he told Ned “The Kingsguard does not flee”; and he also warned Jaime that they were sworn to protect the king, not to judge him. 5. Necessarily covert. Ephemeral identities. Lefty. Arya Stark – As “No one”, she often has to change her identity. She is left-handed. 6. Recalcitrant and stubborn female is soldierly, not sultry. Brienne of Tarth – Character description 7. Rebellion aroused - subjects found ignition sickening. Notoriously slain. Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King – His cruelty set the rebellion in motion when he killed Rickard and Brandon. His death is a famous if ugly story. 8. "Recruited." Assassin. Seriously faces issues speaking noteworthy saying. Jaqen H’ghar – He is introduced to us as a Night’s Watch “recruit” with Yoren. Being an assassin is his profession. When he teaches Arya the phrase “valar morghulis” he discusses (“faces”) some serious issues – such as whether Arya could go with him etc. 9. "Really, avoid stories. Force? I show nuanced subtlety." Roose Bolton – A paraphrase of his words in this dialogue: Roose: People fear you. Ramsay: Good.Roose: You are mistaken. It is not good. No tales were ever told of me. Do you think I would be sitting here if it were otherwise? Your amusements are your own, I will not chide you on that count, but you must be more discreet. A peaceful land, a quiet people. That has always been my rule. Make it yours. 10. Noble centaur enjoys illicit liaison. Brandon Stark (Ned’s brother) – Lady Dustin compares Lyanna and Brandon to a pair of centaurs because of their riding skills. The illicit liaison was with Barbrey herself. 11. Recent Advisor stays, fighting injustice (slavery). Ninepenny slayer. Ser Barristan Selmy – Dany’s most recent advisor, fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings, where he killed the last Blackfyre pretender. Theme: Characters that have been to Harrenhal. Please, vote for you favourite clue until 4 p.m. (Central European Time) on Thursday 22nd December - that's 48 hours and a half from the present moment. Clues #4 and #10 are not eligible for votes.

Dolorous Gabe Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Can someone please remind me in every round to look for any italics that may have been lost in the copy&paste? This has happened before. Apparently I don't learn. Bad round for me. Bad week. Bad year. Bring on 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Interesting answers to a few. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I was told after preliminaries that I had 7 correct. I had Aerys right then changed him because in my count, I also counted my own clue. oops. otherwise I would have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
