Dolorous Gabe Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 If you are struggling, remember my original words on the page with the clues about what you are looking for. It's hard to judge from my position but I reckon you could use just one mini-theme idea, think about what you can add to it to create something in GRRM's world and see what other examples of that thing there are. That could give you potential mini-themes that match with what you added to your mini-theme idea. That could then help you with a wrong answer you might have. Try looking at it on a macro level rather than a micro level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternally_Theirs Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 That would be easier if we had that one mini-theme idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternally_Theirs Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I think I did it. I got the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She who must be Obeyed Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wow! Thanks in advance, @Dolorous Gabe ! I have found the clues to be really well done this round and I feel good about my mini theme choices. Now if I could see the connection I could wrap this round up! I am looking forward to you wise words whether they are rhyming or smelling of sage, notwithstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternally_Theirs Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Maybe I was wrong to suggest doing it solo. I know better now. Oh well, I'll remedy that in Acro 21 when it comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I'll remedy that in Acro 21 when it comes around. We almost always play this game solo, @Eternally_His. Once in a blue moon, @Dolorous Gabe does throw us a curve ball and says pairs are the name of the game, but it is rare. I find that I would rather play alone, although I sometimes wish for a brain-storming session! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Dead ends around you, nowhere to turn, Absurd in this this answer, no walls around, So search as you must, for points may be earned, With help from your maps, the way could be found. Not my best work but should be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I absolutely appreciate our host's poetic talent . A second round of character prelims could be almost as useful though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I have come up with answers that fit (in my mind) and mini themes that are true, with two easy and one a bit more involved. They point to an overall theme. And it's not, and they're not, right. I surrender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Do you mean prelims have told you you're mini themes are true? I am stuck on characters which prelims have told me are wrong. I get the way it fits together as Gabe has outlined. But presently I am only sure of my own clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 1 of 3 prelims (2 of my guesses were highly unlikely so ... no surprise). "Fixed" the other two and "fixed" my missed clues. Then looked at it all and his poem and something just seemed to fit it all. But that was wrong, so my fixes likely are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think I'm just not close enough to the books right now, so everything seems to fit and I don't recall the perfect details to make one possibility stick out from the others. A lot of my answers can be rationalized. Maybe some of that is the clues but I think more of it is just that everything looks the same at a great enough distance.
