In this round it was especially tricky. My pool of possibilities seemed small. Perhaps with more time I could have found something more interesting. When I hosted, I never had these problems.

a free shadow Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 6a “Relish kills, curtail loop.” This clue is a character witness. Bell said it means 'Greed kills, break the cycle', and I said it must mean 'you can kill anybody, just do not get caught up in it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hey all, umm, if any of you are around please could you bump your new clues to the newest post in our PM threads as I am struggling to find them. Then I can post results and start the third round. I'll keep looking but a new message would be helpful. Cheers Edited to add: Okay, let's make it tomorrow. Please can you bump your clues by tomorrow 11pm UK time. And if I have suggested you should modify your clue, please do so. Be aware I'm in danger of going into evil overlord mode. Nobody wants that.

Dolorous Gabe Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Okay, I've decided not to release the clues just yet. I'm still missing one and for a number of others I have asked for modifications and met with a certain degree of stubbornness. Therefore, I hereby suggest that I may be implementing author points in Round Three and those that have been asked to modify have till tomorrow night to do so. If all the clues are modified to acceptability then I will not implement author points. Just one rebel will cause me to bring in author points.

Dolorous Gabe Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Ser Not Appearing said: What are author points? Maybe I'll rethink my submission. You don't remember when the system was that the author got a point for every correct guess to his/her clue? It won't make a massive difference because you could only get up to 6 author points with four teams of two playing. But I thought it was worth scaring some people into action, even if I am bluffing (but am I?). I think I should have made favourite clue votes worth two points each.

Ser Not Appearing Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 But the masses wouldn't know a good clue if it ... did something characteristic of a good clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I liked author points. My natural bent is to try to communicate despite the obstacles of working with an acronym. Probably not a good idea at this late stage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
