Dolorous Gabe Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 ROUND ONE RESULTS 1: Raisin' Bran – 1+1 +2 = 4 2: Julia H. - 1+1 +2+3+2+3+2+1 +3* = 18 3: Castellan – 1+1 +1+3 = 6 4: Lady Blizzardborn – 1+1 +1+3 = 6 5: lil' ghost – 1+1 +1+1+2+3+2 = 11 6: Fragile Bird – 1+1 +3+2+3+1+1 +3* = 15 Vote: The Bastards Giant Friend = 1 * the 4 point bonus will become 3 points if shared by two players, then 2 points if shared by three players STANDINGS after R1 Julia H. 17 Fragile Bird 14 lil' ghost 11 Castellan 6 Lady Blizzardborn 6 Raisin' Bran 4 The Bastards Giant Friend 1 The usual suspects shared the 1st place bonus in Round One, with 3-time-champion Julia H. taking the top spot just ahead of 4-time-champion Fragile Bird. Lurking just behind, a lil' ghost-ly apparition awaits the opportune moment to spring upon the leaders. The stalwart Castellan holds the middle ground with the whirlwind Lady B cooking up a storm. Playing his first game since his victory of two games ago, the cereal Stark Raisin' Bran is already plotting his climb. Meanwhile, another very warm welcome goes out to our new Acrophobic cohort, The Bastards Giant Friend, an unknown quantity and, judging by what he would have submitted in R1, a potential danger to the seasoned campaigners above. All to play for! As usual, please check my tallies in case a mistake was made, which is always possible. As I am just awaiting one more submission for R2 voting, the next post will be the R3 assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 ROUND TWO VOTING The Long Bridge of Volantis 1. Beautiful nightfall. Fairly peaceful evening, wind blowing elegantly. 2. ... Bridge nearly feels positively endless. Walls blacken east... 3. Bridge's nearly full. People enjoy wholesale bargaining everywhere. 4. Bondsmen, not freedmen, provided erection. Wooden buildings encroach. 5. Beware nighttime folk! Pickpockets, easy women, beggars! E-coli! 6. Bargaining neath fabulous porticos, East, West, best extent. 7. Bridging near, far. Painstakingly erected web. Beautifully engineered. And so the Super Six becomes a Splendid Seven. Vote for your top three again, please. Good luck!

lil' ghost Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Honestly, I love every entry for this round, even my own.

Dolorous Gabe Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 ROUND TWO RESULTS 1: lil' ghost – 1+1 +1+3+3 +3 = 12 2: The Bastards Giant Friend – 1+1 +3+2+2 = 9 3: Julia H. - 1+1 +1+3+3 +3 = 12 4: Raisin' Bran – 1+1 +2+2+1 = 7 5: Fragile Bird – 1+1 +1+2+3+2 = 10 6: Castellan – 1+1 +1+1+1 = 5 7: Lady Blizzardborn – 1+1 +3+2 = 7 STANDINGS after R2 Julia H. 17 + 12 = 29 Fragile Bird 14 +10 = 24 lil' ghost 11 + 12 = 23 Lady Blizzardborn 6 + 7 = 13 Castellan 6 + 5 = 11 Raisin' Bran 4 + 7 = 11 The Bastards Giant Friend 1 + 9 = 10 No major changes in the standings after a well-fought round in which every entry was well received. In another shared round victory, Julia H this time shared the bonus points with lil' ghost, who very nearly caught up with Fragile Bird in 2nd place, but the canny Bird flapped those wings and kept the small apparition at bay. The Bastards Giant Friend took a strong first tally of 9 points to enter the fray in a congested chasing pack, all of whom are hoping the leading triumvirate have peaked way too soon. Everything can change in an instant. Game on! As usual, please check my tallies in case a mistake was made. Onwards to Norvos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 ROUND THREE VOTING The Three Bells of Norvos (Noom, Narrah, and Nyel) 1. Too odd, dinging Norvos, one beautifully audible crescendo 2. Tremendous ostent during Norvos' overmodest beginning... alloyed copper. 3. Tolling organizes days, nights. Obnoxious, but also...calming. 4. Toll, oh, dearest notes of bells, authorizing carnality! 5. TODAY OH DEAR …. NORVOSHI ORATORIO … BELLS ALL CLANGING 6. Tones otherworldly, delightful. Norvoshi ostentatious but always charming. 7. This one's deceptively nomenclature....ominous bells actually conventional..? Another Splendid Seven to mull over. Please vote for your top three as usual. The deadline will be provisionally set to Wednesday 6th April at 10pm UK time (BST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
