Castellan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 How come the clue level has jumped? Oh yes, don't have to be guessable. You are all showing your elegant cryptic skills. Mine is the same as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Dangit. There are at least two possible, loosely-reasoanble alternatives to my clue. I logged in to change it and see it was posted awhile ago. Apologies once again, everyone. I do think my answer is better than the alternatives but it's probably not the most close-to-mind reasonable answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual answer is the best fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I know what mine is - that's a start! Good clues everybody - they're hard but with enough info one "should" be able to puzzle them out (I hope!). Question: do players typically post unused clues in the acro leftovers thread? Would love to see some of the clues that were not used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like this idea. Or perhaps we could start an Acrophilia leftovers thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think my only leftover so far was for Eddard: "The vernal fakeout." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Ha! I was actually going to start a leftovers thread yesterday but got too busy to do it. Because for once I actually have had leftovers worth posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 If we do have a leftovers thread, please remember not to post anything from a current round. I know I'm stating the obvious but errors happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Two of the three mini-themes are very basic links between the characters. The other mini-theme requires a little more thought. Â Edited to add: I'm intending to give some more info about what you're looking for tomorrow. Just deciding what to give.

Dolorous Gabe Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 So more information: two of the three mini-themes really require no thought at all. They are as basic as themes might come. The other one just requires a little more thought. Once you have most of the answers right, it might make sense to start thinking about the overall theme. Take basic concepts out of the three groups and see if you can add something to each of them to create examples of something in the GRRM's world.

Castellan Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I am finding the whole thing very hard. If the mini themes are that obvious my characters must be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 This is looking doable, my wonderful Acrophiles! It is tricky with only three characters in a mini-theme but some appear to be finding their way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
