After your entries and names are the points earned that round starting with the 2 points for that entry and your point for voting. Next comes points for first (if any), second and third followed by the bonus if any. This round's bonus split three ways, but I decided to round up and give each of the three bonus babies two points. Standings 1) Fragile Bird: 13 + 16 = 29 2) SwmbO: 16 + 9 = 25 3) Count Balerion: 6 + 17 = 23 4) Howlin Howland: 18 = 3 = 21 5) rocksniffer: 8 +12 = 20 6) Dolorous Gabe: 7 + 8 = 15 7) RhaenysBee: 4 +7 = 11 8) Castellan: 3 + 6 = 9 Turns out I had enough time to post the r3 entries. R4 letters will be up later on. Don't forget to check your scores and votes, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Round 3 Dorne Blood oranges. Blood on the sand. Heat shimmers above the dunes. Seems like a place to avoid - but we know some hardy folk will come. How have our advertisers done at reaching them? Let us take a look: 1) Red wine, fine people! (naughtily, utterly, licentious...) 2) Taking off inhibitions! Always! 3) Intense Environs - Impassioned Experiences. NO BLIZZARDS! 4) Red wines, fresh plums, Nymeria's unmatched luxuries. 5) Restless wives, fiery peppers, neverendingly unbroken lands 6) Ice? Enough! Inviting environment, nocturnal banquets. 7) It's exotic! It's erotic! No-brainer! 8) Rejecting Winter? Find Pleasure Negotiating Unbroken Luxuriousness! Frankly, these are all really good (glad I don't have to vote). You all did well with a tough bunch of letters, so everybody gets a 3 point bonus for this round's scoring (remind me later). NOW, there really will be an interruption while I make breakfast for Mrs. Chicken and clean up after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 How is everybody's schedules during the holidays, after I post r.3, do you want the next deadline on the 29th, or would waiting till 2020 (Jan.5) be better for you?

Count Balerion Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think Jan. would be easier. I'll be out of town most of next week. Although, if we're talking about Pentos I already sent mine, so hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’m perfectly fine with 29th, I would rather not stretch out the game too much. Of course, let the majority vote win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if we're talking about Pentos I already sent mine, so hey. Yes, you did get a Pentos entry in, but if I post on the 29th, there'll be a new destination to advertise - a new group of letters. If you can get an entry in for the round after Pentos by the 5th of January, then I will make the next (Pentos entries) deadline for Dec. 29.

Count Balerion Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Getting something in by 5 January shouldn't be a problem. I'll be back by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
