Now the 'Risk Takers'... and their final pleas
  • (A) DirtyJester - Guinness Black Lager
    Black as in a Black King ie. the Chess piece.
    _____________________________________
  • (B) Ahleckz - Stone Brewing Co. Arrogant ******* Ale
    The starred out word is another name for an illegitimate person (or scroll down and check picture)
    As taken directly from email....
    I provide this as evidence:

    Exhibit A:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror
    "William I (Old Norman: Williame I; c. 1028[1] – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the *******,[2][a] was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. "

    Exhibit B:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/william_i_king.shtml
    "William was born in around 1028, in Falaise, Normandy the illegitimate son of Robert I, Duke of Normandy. He was known as 'William the *******' to his contemporaries."

    Exhibit C:

    http://www.essentialnormanconquest.com/story/william-the-*******.htm

    "William the *******"

    Exhibit D:
    http://www.royal.gov.uk/historyofth...fengland/thenormans/williamitheconqueror.aspx

    "Born around 1028, William was the illegitimate son of Duke Robert I of Normandy, and Herleve (also known as Arlette), daughter of a tanner in Falaise. Known as 'William the *******' to his contemporaries, his illegitimacy shaped his career when he was young.

    On his father's death in 1035, William was recognised by his family as the heir - an exception to the general rule that illegitimacy barred succession. His great uncle looked after the Duchy during William's minority, and his overlord, King Henry I of France, knighted him at the age of 15."


    Conclusion:

    We have 4 websites, one of which being a UK government website and the other being the great institute which is the British Broadcasting Coporation recognising that King William was known as King William the *******. Thus my entry is entirely valid.
    ___________________________________
  • (C) Seabiscuit - Brains Brewery The Rev. James
    King James?
    ___________________________________
  • (D) Windle - Caesar Augustus
    As taken directly from email....

    I present the Caesar Augustus Lager/IPA Hybrid.

    As validation for the King part, the Caesar references Ptolemy XV Caesar (King of Egypt from 44 - 30 BC and Augustus relates to Ernest Augustus I (King of Hanover from 1837 to 1851)

    Let the arguments commence!

  • (E) robfosters - Thwaites Lancaster Bomber
    As taken directly from email...

    I hope this is acceptable. It is Lancaster after the house of Lancaster. The Kings which included Henry IV were known as Henry IV of Lancaster.

  • (F) Repta - Robinson's Old Tom
    As taken directly from email...

    Bit of a long shot but couldnt find anything else in the end. King Tom was a sirrea leone ruler in the 1800's


Anyone who has received points for this weeks entry now has a say on the 'Risk Takers' receiving theirs... If you feel they have entered a valid beer then vote according with a Thumbs Up or Yes, if you feel it's wrong and not should not be allowed then a Thumbs Down or No....

The majority vote will win in each case as discussed earlier today in the main BOTW thread...

Ok so like a thumbs up or down kind of thing.... we now have 5 on the list of doom :D

So say 15 people are voting, and you receive 8 thumbs up you get the points and anything less, thumbs down and the chop!

EDIT: I'll list them (the people on the list) from A - whatever letter we finish with on the list and each valid entry can post a message with each letter and yes or no?

Yeah got the James bit and I know it is allowed under the revised rules, not quite sure why yours went to the vote :confused:
Click to expand...

If you look at the list of people that received points, they ALL had King in their name. Anyone who didn't ended up on the 'list' as nothing was set in stone nor agreed. If you feel it should be allowed, then vote a YES :)

For what it's worth, I cant see how there's even a discussion about Seabiscuits entry. James is the name of 2 English kings and 6 scottish ones. Couldn't get a better entry.

Oh, and I vote for France.
Click to expand...

The only reason it was added to the list was simply because of the 'Rev.' James part. I have to attempt to cover all sides and any possible arguments, hence it's presence.


EDIT: Country voting updated :)

Sorry this is my first time participating in one of these threads.

Go to page one, scroll down and read his reasoning... simples :)


Oooh ok...

'I hope this is acceptable. It is Lancaster after the house of Lancaster. The Kings which included Henry IV were known as Henry IV of Lancaster.'
 
Raptor said:
If it had been left at King, no issues, King in the title.
Human was changed to a word with a body part as part of the name, and IMO there were some real dubious ones in there.

Just think it should have been left as it was at the start of the comp. of course there are difficult rounds, that's the game.

Man, I'm vocal tonight, not like me at all :D

I blame it on my L,O,P,R and X entries :)

The unfortunate thing was it was never made clear what 'K' - King would be, hence the update on the 22/4/13 to make an attempt at clarification. I know if I had found a 'KING' beer I'd have just taken the hit and entered it, sadly I couldn't hence the gamble in my case.

As always everyone in the competition has their say as I personally feel it's the only fair thing to do.
 
Raptor said:
You do a great job DJ and we all appreciate it.

Apologies if I've said too much :D
Click to expand...

Doing a great job is debatable, yes I try to do the best that I can by everyone. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but in the end of the day/night as long as the beer is cold and the laughs plenty it's always a success :D

...and no mate you didn't say too much at all :)
