Dolorous Gabe Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I am fine with whatever. I'll definitely host this Acrophilia variation at some point. If it isn't now I could try to extend the concept to three rounds to play at a later time. I do believe the lovely Jez will make the competition even harder in Acrophobia. We might also see a return to acro games from Lady B, Fragile Bird and lil' ghost and some others who didn't join us for the excursion into philia, which would be delightful!

Is it true? I would love to play an Acrophilia game at last. But if everyone else needs something more relaxing (what on Planetos has exhausted all of you?), I can wait. Just don't forget your plans.

Is it true? No, obsession replaces exhaustion in about 5 mins. I am happy to play anything and interested to see any new variation on either game. So sign me up.

Jez Bell Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Acrophobia sounds like fun! I'd be up for giving it a go. That said, I would not say no to a quick game of Acrophilia either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I feel I should host a game of acrophobia, unless someone else is keen. I thought I'd try 'House Words' or 'Character Fates'. Anyone interested and which topic would you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be delightful I think we've done variations of both those in the past but we would only have done seven Houses and characters. Either would be a lovely way to bring the game back. I now have three rounds of this "slightly evil" version of Acrophilia. I'm calling it "Acrophilia Extreme" Here's a basic rundown of the difference: in each round, the character answers will be split up into sets of 2 or 3, which will constitute a clue to another answer (or a mini-theme), then the answers (or mini-themes) to each set will have another link or answer to work out (kind of like a puzzle). I might start a thread later to work out specifics. Do we want to play in pairs? And if so, how do we want the pairs to be organised? Should playing in pairs be an optional thing?

Haha To clarify I will reveal here how Round One will look to use it as an example: 1a) Character 1 clue 1b) Character 2 clue 1c) Character 3 clue 2a) Character 4 clue 2b) Character 5 clue 2c) Character 6 clue 3a) Character 7 clue 3b) Character 8 clue 3c) Character 9 clue Each number has a mini-theme, so there are three mini-themes here. These mini-themes together will be a clue to something else, an overall theme. Some of it will be more like working out a puzzle though, particularly in working out the links between characters. Hopefully this makes it easier to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this makes it easier to understand? So it is multiple levels of themes within a round. Would there also be a theme that linked rounds? Just to drive us mad forever? And I am wondering how the mini-themes link but I suppose we'd have to work it out. Would you supply the extra clues to get to nine, if we did not have enough players?

Yes, basically. I think I may have to hint towards what kind of thing you are looking for at times but I think it will work. It will be tricky though. There's no overarching theme linking the rounds. I will indeed provide any clues needed to make the full number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
