Dolorous Gabe Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 ROUND SIX RESULTS 1 - Runaway Imp (The Demon Monkey’s Favorite Eunuch). A buddy/road musical by Roberts War Hammerstein Author: AssHat Points: 1+1 +1+1+1 Total: 5 + 5 = 10 2 - Only Mothers Forgive All Sins Author: Fragile Bird Points: 2+2+1+2+2+3 Total: 12 + 5 = 17 3 - Bolting Relieved Him - by the Little Birds Children's Choir Author: rocksniffer Points: 1+3+3+1+2 +2 Total: 12 + 5 = 17 4 - Oh Merciless Fathers and Sons - by the Blue Bard Author: Howlin’ Howland Points: 1+1 +1 Total: 3 + 5 = 8 5 - Bloody Red Hands - by The Guilty Parties Author: Castellan Points: 1+1 +1+1+1+3 Total: 8 + 5 = 13 6 - Of Monsters, Fathers and Slaughters - An epic poem describing all of Tyrion’s crimes by Galyeon of Cuy Author: Lilac & Gooseberries Points: 3+1+3+1 +2 Total: 10 + 5 = 15 7 - Rise Inmates, Thieves, Demon Monkeys, Fly East! - Wicked Author: RhaenysBee Points: 1 +2 Total: 3 + 5 = 8 8 - Repaid is the Debt, My Father, Eternally - The Last of the Reynes Author: Julia H. Points: 1+1 +1+3+2+1 Total: 9 + 5 = 14 I think some great titles got fewer points than they deserved due to the high overall quality of the round’s entries, so everyone gets an extra 5 points. Rhaenys, my apologies, I genuinely laughed out loud when I read yours and thought it would do better. We should have tried the other one instead. 1 Fragile Bird 78 + 17 = 95 2 AssHat Ahai 74 + 10 = 84 3 Julia H. 68 + 14 = 82 4 Castellan 58 + 13 = 71 5 Howlin’ Howland 54 + 8 = 62 6 rocksniffer 40 + 17 = 57 7 RhaenysBee 47 + 8 = 55 8 Lilac & Gooseberries 37 + 15 = 52 9 a free shadow 35 10 Jez Bell 25 Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Can it be caught with a butterfly net and a dream? Tallies, check ‘em - cos I’m only human after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 ROUND SEVEN VOTING Normally I’d say vote for 3 with only 7 entries but I don’t like to change things too much on the final round. So let’s continue with FOUR votes 1 - Today We Serve “Vermillion Lunch” - The Mutineers 2 - Anybody Here...Only Corpses! - by The Ravens featuring Sam the Slayer 3 - Mormont Over, Out. - Mutiny 4 - Adieu, House of Cold - by Otava Yo 5 - A Host of Cowards (aka A Hell of Cold) - a song for two opposing voices by Alaric of Eysen 6 - And Honor only cried - sung by Dolorous Edd 7 - As Hunger Overcomes Crows - Wildling Folksong It ends when it ends.

AssHat Ahai Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I liked Rhaenys’ acronym the best, but Galyeon of Cuy was too perfect of a singer choice by L&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Every time I look at the list I change my mind about which one I like best, I genuinely think I could pick every one of them. My apologies to the two people who did not get a vote, your entries are great, but there are only 4 votes to give. <3 1st. 7 - As Hunger Overcomes Crows - Wildling Folksong 2nd. 2 - Anybody Here...Only Corpses! - by The Ravens featuring Sam the Slayer 3rd. 4 - Adieu, House of Cold - by Otava Yo 4th. 5 - A Host of Cowards (aka A Hell of Cold) - a song for two opposing voices by Alaric of Eysen I wasn't sure if I should pick #5 or not, because of the double entry. I like A Host of Cowards on it's own, why is there the second entry? I choose to ignore the aka! And I liked the two opposing voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative title alludes to the alternative viewpoint (of the mutineers). It isn't two entries at all. It's one song, the alternative title is simply to bring depth to the central idea of it. I chose to allow it because I thought it clever. Blame me if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all played extremely well. Reading your brilliant ideas coming in each week was a treat. Finally (or, should that read shamelessly?), I'd really appreciate it if any of you wonderful people could give my band Wonderland Trip a like on the social media (big thanks to rocksniffer for already having done this). We're currently doing a big re-release of past songs and are gearing up to release some new material over the next few months, including a song I wrote, with some serious promotion. A big post is coming tomorrow with further details (edit: okay, maybe at some point this week depending on when the songs are due to go live on the big music platforms). For the record Wonderland Trip songs are very, very different to my folksy takes on Westerosi songs linked in my signature box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 This theme was a great idea and a very smoothly organised game as usual. Thanks, Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
