Ser Not Appearing Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I had Cersei bedding her cousin for the final, though I knew reluctant was wrong for that. Just couldn't think of another, better devotee relationship. Salladhor crossed my mind briefly but couldn't fit deceiver. I still can't, actually.

Castellan Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Damn that theme. At one stage I had no-one born in mainland westeros as a theme.  but I was too ignorant of ASOIF geography to recognise that them places Daario and Missandei et al come from are also islands. 4 minutes ago, Ser Not Appearing said: Blah. I changed from Brienne. It made sense but then I decided it was less likely that the clue described a blade carried and more likely that it describe a person who was considered a rare fighter and so I switched to Baristan, who I thought was less a good fit for the searching part but who did resolve to search for the rightful heir to the throne. I kept thinking Brienne might be wrong too. Although I think of 'gay blades' as young so I wouldn't have thought of Barristan thinking more of a Bravo type person and couldn't come up with one. But I came up with obsidian being a rare blade and thought it could possible be Marwyn, if every sliver of obsidian was regarded as a blade even when used in a candle. But luckily I resisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Gah! The answers and errors on my part have scratched an itch. Everyone is therefore ordered to submit favorite clues and their next round submissions by end of day so we can begin again tomorrow. That is all.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that they probably just represented the idea of colours (because authors have the letters to mind as well). I didn't think of the "rare blade" as a person either but now I really like the idea. Warriors are often referred to as "swords" in the books. Yes, the Valyrian dagger is also connected with the idea of delving / investigating. "Prisoners" is a tricky theme idea because it would fit so many characters in the books that it may seem to work very easily even if the real theme is something else. I had learned that before. 11 hours ago, Ser Not Appearing said: Salladhor crossed my mind briefly but couldn't fit deceiver. I still can't, actually. He is treacherous, but yes, he probably makes it clear that he is there for business and only as long as you can pay. He never pretends to be otherwise. But since he is also involved in smuggling, there may be some deception there as part of the profession.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hmmm, I had only one right in the prelims and decided to change them all. I knew I be wrong on at least one as a result and it was Dany Girl . . . oh wells! I got the archer part of the nocker clue, but I took the "requesting" the wrong way - like someone who was wanting an archer, not an archer who was wanting. And I forgot about the Summer Islanders being first rate archers - dum, de dum-dumb. I'm a wee bit salty about that Asha clue. It's true she was initially resistant that last time at Deepwood Motte, but she and Qarl had been lovers for a long time and with great gusto - so that never fit for me.

Polish your next clue until it's perfectly indecipherable at first look but then magically transforms into perfectly gettable by all, so you maximize both fun and points. I, one the other hand, will probably produce a terrible clue that everyone hates. And I will cackle in mad, deluded glee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
