Julia H. Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 ROUND 3 In this round, we return to the classic game structure. There is just one theme. You can have a character prelims round, two prelims rounds for the theme and a (free) yes/no question regarding the character clues. The theme may be a bit trickier this round (or I may be mistaken). This theme probably will not show up readily in the wiki, so reading the original text will be necessary. Listen to the characters, and keep in mind the title of this Acrophilia game. ROUND 3 CLUES 1. In crossing, master-at-arms undulates greenly. 2. Insufferably cautious(?). Makes unacceptable groom. 3. Insidiously conveyed misrepresented, urbane greetings 4. Re-lives intense memories, the elusive seasons in (adolescent) love. 5. Rhyme I might. To escape. Still, I am lost. 6. Ingenious cripple married unfamiliar girl. 7. Kingly aristocrat osculates (onerous FEMALE!!). Kisses “tepid”. 8. Riddle is "mints". (That's extra sentence in additional letters). 9. "Knights appreciate oaths over fortunes. Kind Thanks!" 10. Known abdicator ordered others found. Knifed treacherously! Theme: ??? Deadline: Wednesday, May 6th (10 p.m. Central European Time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must find theme! This round is a combination of answers leaping out at me and others I think I won't get in a million years. PS On second glance, two answers leap out at me for some of the 'easier' ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Looking at these clues I feel like I could nail 6 or 7 of them on the first go . . . .but then I'll send in my prelims and the bubble will burst. Now if someone would tell me the theme, I might just have a chance . . . No, don't do that - I was kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia H. Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm not going to send the theme to anyone, however, I can give you all some (little) help with finding it (besides the hint above). So I will tell you this: I could easily have had subgroups with mini-themes in this round as well, but I didn't want to because some of the characters would have been alone in their groups, so you couldn't get those mini-themes without getting the theme first. Still, it might be helpful to know how the characters could be put into groups with regard to the theme. Here it is: 1, 3, 5, 10 (There is one more character in the books that would fit this group, but I don't want you to get bored of this character's frequent appearance in this game these days, so this character was left out.) 2, 6, 7, 9 (There is one more character in the books that might fit this theme at first glance - but if a certain fan theory is correct, then said character does not really fit. So, to be on the safe side, this character was left out.) 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Upon further review" (an NFL ref for American sports fans) your groupings are not the ones I was seeing . . . hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hints always infuriate me at first sight. Just more things not to solve. Better have a proper look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
