Ser Not Appearing Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Lol, second of three rounds I come back to review clues and submit something... only to find I'm already late. I should pay attention to deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 16 hours ago, a free shadow said: 2. Larger and neatly revealed form crowns. Tyrion Lannister (Ser Not Appearing) ... referring to "When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king." The light neatly made Tyrion's shadowy form appear larger, like a king. Seems some are still confused, which is a sign maybe it's not as nice a clue as I think. But I think it, so I agree with me. It feels more an artful clue than exceedingly clever, as I tend to consider my other favorite clues to be... but I really do like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 14 hours ago, Julia H. said: Hm, I'm still not sure about the Tyrion clue... Anyway. I had three ideas for it: The first was Drogo - he was large, and I imagine the Dothraki clothes may have revealed quite a lot of his large body and he crowned Viserys. I discarded this idea soon enough. Then I thought it might be the Greatjon (the larger one of the two Jon Umbers) as he points at Robb with his unusually large sword saying "The King-in-the-North!". I thought "revealed" might refer to the unsheathing of the sword (the sword is revealed). Then I came across the information that the High Septon that Tyrion chose received a larger crystal crown (from Tywin) than the one his predecessor had had. This crown is always conspicuous as it is very tall and makes the High Septon seem taller, and it also looks nice (with all the rainbow imagery around it), so I was 99% sure that is was that correct answer, but, unfortunately, it greatly reduced the theme possibilities. @Castellan, I didn't get the Varys clue immediately either. At first I focused on "portly" and I thought it was Lord Manderly, fat and making secret plans in a port city (White Harbor) - I considered it a brilliant clue and wanted to make it my favorite clue until I realized that it was only plump Varys with the usual spider reference. (Sorry, Gabe. ) Godric - Yes, I kept thinking it couldn't be Godric because he didn't fit with the other characters (but as I knew I had two wrong I couldn't be sure) but my second guess was Manderly, and after a while I realised 'webbing' didn't really fit him at all so I went back to Godric. I must say I thought it was a brilliant clue! Tyrion - I could never get this - I ended up putting in the High Septon that Tyrion appointed because he gets a bigger and fancier crown after the earlier one is ripped apart along with its wearer. The other answer I thought might be correct for a while was The Queen O Whores, because her larger and neatly arranged form (spilling our of her laces!) had led to Ryman crowning her!

Raisin' Bran Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 @Dolorous Gabe Acrophilia I think. And a Halloween story for you per 's demand Spoiler One year when I was a kid, my mom had made matching costumes for my older brother and myself based on Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Both my brother and I loved the Disney animated version of Robin Hood where Robin was a fox and Little John was a bear. I thought, since I was the smaller of the two, that I should be Robin Hood, but my brother, who was two years older, taller, stronger, and a bit of a bully, insisted that he was Robin Hood. I cried for about a half an hour because I wanted to be Robin Hood so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a great idea, it's just too vague IMO. A heads up to everyone. I hope to start a new Acrophilia game thread on Monday. Keep an eye out for it.
