Eternally_Theirs Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I know the bonus answer, but I won't say who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Looking back at round 3 I have a question maybe someone could answer for me about the horns. Euron's and Mance's are easy, and I thought I had a memory of Jon having a horn too. However the more I thought about the less I remembered and eventually I looked it up on the wiki. All I could find there was that Mance had offered him the horn of winter in exchange for letting the wildlings through the Wall, but Stannis intervened before Jon could say yes or no and as far as I can tell, it got burned before Jon had a chance to touch it. Can someone help me out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have theorised that the little horn could be more important than it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon found this horn while the wildlings were looking for the Horn of Winter. There is a theory that what Jon found might be the real one. My first idea for the theme was winter. Kings of Winter, Horn of Winter, Starks of Winterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I also had crows for the mini-theme in that group at first! In fact, my early guesses for the Mance clue also supported that mini theme. Before I realized that sewing was literal, I had been sure it had to do with Needle, so I thought of Dareon the singer in the NW, killed by Arya for disobedience and desertion. (Only he deserted before he was sewn, so that part didn't fit.) When I realized that this guess was incorrect, I still tried to find something Needle-related, but I couldn't. So then it ocurred to me that it might be Slynt, who was killed before he could desert or rebel. I thought Jon had given Needle its name, so that might be a connection with sewing (even though Slynt was beheaded not stabbed), which was, of course, a weak argument. Anyway, I still had crows for the mini theme, but then another idea ocurred to me, which was elections. Jon and Euron won elections, Slynt participated in one, but again, it didn't quite fit, so I started to look for someone who had won an election, and I remembered Mance becoming King-Beyond-the-Wall. In his case, it was more like a contest than an election, but he still did not inherit the position and was not appointed to it either. It was then that I realized that the sewing was perfectly literal and that the answer could only be Mance. Then I suddenly remembered the horns.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I took awhile on Mance. Though it was pretty quick once I noticed sewn instead of sown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that "sewn" was a reference to Needle and Arya, so my guess was Dareon, the singer of the NW who was "disobedient" but died "before he was truant".

Ser Not Appearing Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I imagine Sam would have said he was already truant before death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Three days and no posts or griping! This is Silence! I guess that means I am the only one who doesn’t have all the clues?

Dolorous Gabe Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 One player did solve it within 2 days. The key is the bonus character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few things in the books that I encounter and think 'something going on there' but basically can't be bothered working it out and just continue on.

I think I have the bonus character (though what do I know...), and I've been analysing every word related to this character, testing different theme ideas on the other characters, but nothing seems to work. Of course, if I have the wrong bonus character, all my efforts are wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 "Misery loves company" and in this case so does ineptitude. Glad I'm not the only one struggling, though the fact that someone had all the answers in two days does not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 The list of answers has nearly all the characters that fit the theme. The bonus character is easiest for researching the theme when you don't know what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I haven't spent time since day one this round. It's the time of year where we great from sun up to sun down for 19 days and I thought it would be a good distraction but instead I just don't have the mental energy.
