I am feeling good right this minute because I have decided my theme ideas must all be wrong and I will look anew. Already getting some new ideas. anyway we should be careful what we beg for. Could always beg for two theme prelims. or a prelim on a clue of our choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have devised a little something. A curiosity of sorts that may infuriate you more But I will wait to see if anybody cracks it by the middle of Sunday. If not I will unleash my creation.

Eternally_Theirs Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I thought about it and I think I figured it out. But I will hold on to my horses to see whether my theory is incorrect or not. After all, Frey weasels may unravenl it at the seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It is somewhat comforting in my be-puzzlement to find the rest of you are not crowing about how easy the theme was to crack. Makes me feel a little less dense. eta1: And now I've actually had a theme idea . . . looking forward to seeing the real answer. eta2: my euphoria was short lived . .

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 ROUND THREE You should all have received your R3 characters. In this round, the system will be more like the Extreme Edition. There will be nine clues split up into three mini-themes, with each theme being a clue to something else to do with ASOIAF (the overall theme). Each mini-theme will be worth 1 point each. The overall theme worth 4 as usual. You will get a prelim score out of three for each mini-theme grouping. You will also get a prelim score out of three for the mini-themes (these guesses must be submitted together). And of course, you will have a prelim guess at the overall theme. You will also have one yes/no question you can ask the host. There will be a favourite clue vote at the end of the round. No author points so I will be checking for alternative answers to your clues. Acronyms: C I B A D I S B H T P H W O E T B I I'm not going to set a deadline just yet as I'm not sure of my week's itinerary. Hopefully I'll set one in due course.

Julia H. Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Next round sounds (again) exciting! And I can actually see a theme idea evolving for this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternally_Theirs Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Looking forward to the next one. And if I am right, I was the first to notice the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don't think mine is the real theme though... (But it would be a good theme.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 That all sounds impenetrably confusing. The game wasn't hard enough in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it twice and don't know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Beware of the alternative answers. I think these might be throwing many of you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Heed not the wisdom of the breaker of chains, When lost and alone and feeling the strain, For what some have asked for again and again, Is written so clearly and hidden so plain.

Still confuzzled. The second and third stanza could apply to characters, but could also apply to us guessers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
