Acrophobia 36 - Gone Fishin' - FINAL BONUS ROUND!!


Jez Bell

Recommended Posts

Hola!

We are starting anew, after much death.  Welcome to episode 36 of ACROPHOBIA.  We start, as usual, by giving thanks to our creator...  Emmit!

Now, between travelling the 7 kingdoms, plotting revenge, planning to overthrow governments, defending against the dark forces, and drinking wine... Well, it's hard to keep regular business hours.

Whether it be an email reply, a note on the fridge, or a message by raven, people need to know where you are when you aren't where you're supposed to be.  How would our characters let folks know that they are unavailable? 

Sign up by sending me a PM titled Acrophobia 36 - (Insert Board Name)

Rules:

Spoiler

 

There will be 6 rounds.

Each round, I will provide 3 sets of randomly generated acronyms that you can choose from to craft your message.

Once the letters are revealed, you will have approx 48 hours to submit your entry to me by PM.  You can change your mind as many times as you would like up to the deadline, but if you give me multiple entries and don't choose one by the deadline, then I will choose for you.  

I will be very strict on deadlines, but late entries will be accepted until the close of voting.  I will consider extensions, but only if you ask nicely.  Bribes help.

Once entries are posted, everyone can vote for their top 3 on the thread.  There's an extra point for voting, so you can earn points even if you don't submit an entry

 

 

 

Scoring:

2 points for submitting before deadline

3 points for each 1st place vote

2 points for each 2nd place vote

1 point for each 3rd place vote

1 point for voting

My spreadsheet is ready, complete with an acro generator and random character selector.  The latter was born out of my complete inability to pick just 6 characters for this game.  If anyone has a particular character they would like included, please let me know with your PM.

We've got 6 players now... I can put up the first round with a longer deadline in case we get a few more players?

ROUND 1:

 

Petyr Baelish, has a finger in every pie.  When he's not running the brothels, framing people for attempted murder by catspaw, or lusting after red-headed teenagers, he is the master of coin.  He's basically the Jeffrey Epstein of Westeros.  But even Jeffrey worked while he was in prison.

What would Littlefinger's voicemail message be to those trying to find him for urgent matters of state?
