Dolorous Gabe Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 ROUND FOUR ASSIGNMENT Mance Rayder and his forces attack the Wall, Stannis rides to overwhelm them. The people of Westeros don’t much care for the Night’s Watch these days. At war with each other, catering to this band of ruffians seems counter-productive. But of course Stannis bucked the trend. With Mance uniting his horde to take them south of the Wall away from the icy demons that haunt them, how would a song about this battle go? What perspective could be drawn from this event? Use one of the following acronyms to create a song title for a minstrel of your choice O W A M N T W O G K I C T L S Let’s make the initial deadline on Saturday 1st May at 10am UK time. So you have a week. New voting round coming at some point today. Just awaiting something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks again for the votes! Try to remember, though, how many times I've led until the last couple of rounds and then lost, lol! I was thinking about Country and Western songs with Tried Loving Cersei. I hoped you imagined, "He tried loving Cersei and she did him wrong!" or "I tried loving Cersei but she weren't no good! or "and this is what I got!" Something like that.

Dolorous Gabe Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 ROUND FIVE ASSIGNMENT Wyman Manderly’s Revenge A bit of forecasting here, as we don’t know everything that happens yet, but a song could be written about numerous points during his revenge plot. It could tell the entire story from White Harbour’s machinations through to the gruesome revelations at Winterfell. From a future vantage point, how would a songster tell this story and from what perspective?

Fragile Bird Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That could have gone any way, my friends! I looked at that list and thought #4 and #8 are going to be tops! I loved both to bits and would have had them tied for first if I could! Don’t worry, I am old and weak and you young wolves will nip at my heels and...and...something, something will happen.

Reveal hidden contents Thank you. That was my best shot, I can’t do any better. You and Julia were just too good. I was also a bit jealous of how well 7 worked in the machinations of Sunspear. I tried, but couldn’t come up with a cryptic way to refer to the Martells and ended up just crassly using Oberyn’s name. That was a bit out of character for Patchface.

That was a bit out of character for Patchface. Oh yes, not to take away from the others, that was a wonderful round! But those were my favorites, and I thought mine might not be appealing. I tried some viper and snake entries but they weren’t very good. I eventually came up with “Oh, Prince!” and tried to create a lament to go with it. And I keep meaning to find the Leftovers thread.
