Ser Not Appearing Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think we were behind a good bit. Unless you love our clues this round, catching up will be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the game we love to hate - or hate to love - depending on the outcome! 5 hours ago, Jez Bell said: Y'all are pretty cocky, but I am concerned for you. @She Who Must Be Obeyed might hurt herself again doing a victory lap and @Ser Not Appearing is at serious risk of appearing less aloof than he may like us to believe. So, in the interest of all of you, we will take the win. Never fear @Jez Bell I can wave the flag with my good arm! 10 hours ago, Ser Not Appearing said: It's not over until we find out who won and I either note that it's a stupid game and nobody cares or I gloat mercilessly. Gloat away - I got the hang of this now and and chomping at the bit to go again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played regular acrophilia in the past - even won once, if I remember correctly - but this new twist is kind of crazy in the best way. I have never wanted to scream, curse and laugh all that the same time while rocking back and forth in a corner! In fact I think we show have a couple more rounds, now that I am healing up, @Dolorous Gabe should be able to make it up on the fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If my team is winning, we should stop. Otherwise, Gabe needs to keep it going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hahaha Here I was thinking I can relax now (kinda), yet here you all are demanding an encore. I think the winners after 3 rounds are the winner as that was the game I set out. But maybe I can rustle up a sort of 19B Game in the Extreme style if there is demand for it.

He needs to keep it going then. You were quite busy last round or you may have noticed a certain brilliant team was ahead of us by 11 points and another brilliant team by one point. Luckily one other brilliant team had to drop out of the round. PS EVERYONE is probably vastly interested in the avatar of my cat, Flo, rat dispatcher extraordinaire. This captured a moment of folly when she thought front loading washing machines were a nice place to snooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Stunningly odd looking. A vet told me she must be part British shorthair to explain her round eyes, flat face (tiny nose) and other things, including endurance and determination, which I believe she is modelling here.

Castellan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 While we wait, this is arguably more fun that hearing about my cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, Fragile Bird and She Who Must Be Obeyed also submitted a perfect set of answers having worked out that the mini-themes were phrases long before anyone else did. They got one vote to add to the impressive tally. Julia H and Raisin' Bran were hindered by often being busy and never really being available at the same time. It was extremely rare that I visited the PM thread and found anything approaching a two-way conversation. I guess this was always a possibility playing in pairs. Now, do people REALLY want a a couple more rounds? Could make it Acrophilia 19B? I don't have anything else in this version but I can possibly research something. I am half-dead after hosting this game though. I might be near-fully dead after more rounds but I don't mind continuing. Maybe a huge single round game where everyone gets two characters to make clues for? If I can find something. Or if someone else wants to host, they could start a game. I'll try to research something anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I like working with Castellan and would be more than happy to keep going. I think we have a good system where everything is worked out for me and all I have to do is try to narrow down and submit mini-themes, then take credit for our work.

We were like the Sun and the Moon, shining at different times, but I guess giving us this extra challenge was fair towards the other players. 3 hours ago, Dolorous Gabe said: Now, do people REALLY want a a couple more rounds?

Ser Not Appearing Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Congrats to the champs. ... and by "champs" I mean my team. We won the Electoral College. I'm fairly certain of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Btw, since I've nowhere better to share it, this cracked me up. It's a Facebook memory of something I posted three years ago: Quote Just saw George RR Martin canceled some events later in the year but reserved the right to reconsider attending if ... IF ... if he completes Winds of Winter beforehand. Which means there's a chance he's done before then. Which means ... WOOT! Oh Jamal, you sweet summer child...

Jez Bell Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This was fun. Winning feels weird. It's all down to @a free shadow, I was just along for the ride. Congrats to everyone... have some lemon cakes. @Dolorous Gabe, thank you for a fantastic game. You kept us on our toes until the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really we all qualify as summer's sweet children. In fact I remember that not-a-blog post. I think I probably said exactly the same thing at the time.

She who must be Obeyed Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 More rounds at your discretion, @Dolorous Gabe to everyone. This was a great game, twisted but great! And I got to give props again to @Fragile Bird for being a wonderful partner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
