Bonus Round 3.1 - Kitten Adoption

1)  Adorable niche incarnate mousetrap. Adopt, love.

2)  Ser opts for transfer!

3)  Puss’s likely undiscovered Schrödinger half-lifer!

4)  Special obsidian feline treasure.

5)  Purrrrrr... love us... Seeking home!

 

Please vote for your favorite. (Vote for one entry only, please.  Feel free to provide positive feedback for the rest).  You still get a point for voting, even if you didn't play.  So please show some love.

Thanks for all the entries.  I'm glad I don't have to choose. :) 

 

1. It's a call to adopt and a nice mousetrap usage, albeit generic to cats overall.

2. Specific to Ser Pounce and a mildly sarcastic way to refer to adoption.

3. Schrodinger reference is great, frankly.

4. Heading style and the only color reference.

5. Adoption plea, lovable though generic.

 

All of these are honestly pretty good. I think I favor the specifics in 2 and 4. I'd vote for both but will change my mind now that I'm typing this and will go with #4.

So: 4 is my vote

This is like choosing a real kitten from a litter. By choosing one I feel I am rejecting four perfectly good kittens that need a home.

I was very tempted to go for #5 because kittens can advertise themselves very well and this is how they do it. But I'll go for the cleverness of "incarnate mousetrap".

so, voting for #1.

Sorry everyone. I got caught up in a plumbing issue today. 
 

I will post tomorrow morning. So you have an extra 12 hours to finesse your entries. 
 

still missing a few round 2 votes and 1 round 3 entry. I’m going to post in the morning with or without.

Bonus Round Results - Ser Pounce

  1. Adorable niche incarnate mousetrap. Adopt, love.  -  (RhaenysBee)  -  (2 Votes) 5 + (Voting/Sub) 2 = 7
  2. Ser opts for transfer!  -  (Castellan)  -  (0 Votes) 3 + (Voting/Sub) 2 = 5

          Ser Not Appearing(Voting/Sub) 1 = 1

 

Standings:

Fragile Bird:  18 (Round 1) + 6 (Round 2) + 6 (Bonus Round) = 30

Julia H. :  12 (Round 1) + 7 (Round 2) + 6 (Bonus Round) = 25

RhaenysBee:  4 (Round 1) + 13 (Round 2) + 7 (Bonus Round) = 24

Castellan:  6 (Round 1) + 11 (Round 2) + 6 (Bonus Round) = 23

Lilac & Gooseberries:  5 (Round 1) + 4 (Round 2) + 0 (Bonus Round) = 9

 

Well done!  We had a few ties.  RhaenysBee and Castellan both tied for the most 1st place votes in Round 2, while RB also tied with Howlin' Howland for most votes in the bonus round.  It's pretty close.  The race is on to catch Fragile Bird.

Round 4

For Sale: Joramun's horn aka the Horn of Winter.  A legendary piece with magical properties. A large warhorn, this one is so loud that it can wake giants.  Please don't toot indoors.  It's impolite and it may cause structural damage to the walls and foundations of your property.  A lovely decorative addition to your mantle that could also be used to display autumn fruits and gourds.

 

Letters:

I F W

D A R G E

K E O C H L

 

Deadline: Wednesday 29 March

How I wish I had thought of promoting it like this! I never would have though.

There was a chaise that I was looking at, where the description said "the most beautiful clothes horse you will every own".  I thought it was clever, so I bought it.  It is indeed almost always covered in clothes. :blush:

It wasn't sarcastic or ironic. I really am not sure what it was, the words just came out to match the letters. I think because i was using 'acrobatic' or 'athletic' in an entry I made with the ANIMAL letters I was thinking in terms of sports and that the athletic Ser had hinted at interest in a transfer to another team - so here is your opportunity if you have the money!

Then Jez read it and interpreted that Ser wanted out of the toxic Red Keep, so that was a good intepretation too

Bonus round?  Let me know when.  I have some extra items to action.  I mean auction, of course.

I am willing. Didn't reply at first as had no round 4 ideas yet, but I have a few now so am happy to try a bonus round.
