Thank goodness I used the full box of salt.... I meant to comment on your post about trying to guess who wrote what. I find I am not very good at guessing authors, but what I see happening all the time is that I often vote for the same people's entries. I picked yours for first, for example, something I think I do regularly. And I know I've gone wrong in an entry when some people who regularly vote for me don't. I go 'ouch, I'm in trouble!' However, I also know a great entry can take me down, and I look forward to seeing your great entry, Gabe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best effort by far was using the wrong acronym haha. We shall see. At this stage your 8 point lead is a fair reflection I think. It's been a good battle! Re: guessing authors; I've noticed that certain people do have similar telltale signs, which makes it easy to mix them up and obviously newcomers can make things interesting, but some do have very unique signs, not always evident but often are.

rocksniffer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 me too...and guess who my favorite character is ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!" Hard to disagree, Sam Rockwell is marvellous! Alan Rickman's wonderful Alexander/Dr Lazarus runs him close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 ROUND SEVEN 1. Just an incestuous matriarch exploring. 2. Celebrated enforcer, rich, secretly enjoys incest. 3. Clawless expiating rogue seeks ethical intimacy. 4. Jeweled, acock, illustrious, malkinesque empress. 5. Junior Adonis? I'm marvelously eager. 6. *Cannot ever replace sister - eternal inamorata* 7. Just admire intensely, massage ego. So finally, the final seven! Regarding the votes, I would like to suggest a slight change this time: Let's make the voting anonymous. Send your votes to me in a PM. Eventually, I will reveal the votes and the voters, so in the end everything will be public,as usual, but the votes will be secret for a while. Please, vote for your favourite three entries not later than 6. p.m. (Central European Time) on Thursday, 29th June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Any volunteers to host another game? and how about acrophobia? I am not up to it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm not up to hosting anything (I think I'm having a relapse of the latest fibro flare), but I have some theme ideas if anyone wants to bat them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I do not think I would be qualified to host. As poorly as I did this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I do not think I can host for a month or so. I may look at bringing back Acrophilia at some point though, if demand is popular enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm sorry, I have had an awfully busy day. I couldn't even get near this computer. Tomorrow will be very similar, so I have to postpone the final calculation and post until Saturday. In the meantime,please, elect a new host and choose a new topic. (If no one seems to want to host, start suggesting topics, perhaps someone will be tempted by a good idea.) I also want to say that I really miss Acrophilia, so I very much support the idea of starting a new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I tried to come up with some theme ideas. This was an effort and they are not my faves or anything, so please suggest your own ideas. The preacher speaks - messages from the religious characters we have encountered - from different religions. Imagine new houses are created - write their 'words' - create the houses for specific characters in the book - e.g. Gendry - could be characters ludicrous or worthy to be raised up. Letters home - from those far away. I know we've had raven messages between characters, this is slightly different. I thought the next two might have popped into my brain because they've already been done. Can't remember - Mysteries - pose a mystery and we write the solution. Fates - for each character, predict an outcome . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I like all of those, Castellan. I think New Houses And Their Words is my favourite of those, although Letters Home runs it close. We should do both! them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think the mystery solution might be fun, but since I did not start playing until the last 5 or so games I have no idea if it has been done before. New house words also sounds fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I also like fates of characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
