    Eh, if it worked your side would have shattered, if it didnt it would have alienated stannis from highgarden+renly. Add to that a little to none cost and it seemed like a pretty smart plan.

    Well, considering I could have just asked Stannis to swear on his word if he killed Margaery or not, and no Dornishman would EVER send someone wine from the Arbor, your plan was about as full-proof as the Maginot Line.

    Yeah, as I said, the only one with a motive was Tywin, had the game continued I'm 100% all Houses would have eventually marched on Casterly :P

    No you couldnt, you'd be dead or too peeved off to think straight and I was under no illusion that you'd think it was from Doran. And no I wasnt expecting for highgarden to sit back, why do you think I attempted to invade?

    1) Stannis would have just sent a shadow of doom after me if he was worried.
    2) Stannis was working with us the turn of the wedding, only a lunatic or a literal retard would try to assassinate someone while at the mercy of his enemy.
    3) Your other plans all have failed horribly. Patterns are not to be ignored.

    1. Yes, you're right I should have just used the red priest I had to pretend to be Stannis and-oh wait.
    2. Yeah, I know, you working with him was obvious from the get go. Heck, I was surprised you and higarden hadnt attacked already.
    3. Dont let this get personal.

    I'm tired due to a combination of Italian food and Rick Steeves, realized this shortly after posting, and edited it to some extent.

    Anyway, it was really freakin' obvious that you were behind it.

    Which plans? Capturing Eddard's the only one I can think of and that was ruined by a NPC.

    Upon asking him about the scope of the character, JHT told myself and Beskar that Renly's death at the hands of Melisandre's conjuration was one of his most disliked moments in the series. As a result, he said that I wouldn't be able to do that against the main roles, though my chances of succeeding against lesser roles (he loosely hinted at Penrose, given that he's also killed by Melisandre) were much more favourable.

    That was fine by me, although it feels a bit lacklustre when you consider how easy it was for the Lannisters to poison your wine in comparison to what Melisandre would have had to do if I had wanted you dead.

    Ah, one thing I noticed that my 'RP' of Doran was the exact opposite of his true character. I suppose I'll set that right this time.

    And i always was wondering from the start that you did not try to do any kind of pact with us. Maybe you just had locked the idea that tyrells need to be destroyed?

    I had locked the idea that Renly needed to be destroyed and there was no way you would side with me as long as he lived, also the iron bank was asking for 1500 a turn so I was in a rush to acquire enough lands to sustain that without becoming bankrupt.

    And Tyrell´s would have been the easiest to pick? You know i was completely neutral before last turn. Had you not put Ironborn attack us.We would not have had anything against you. :P

    Yeah well the iron born thing was an utter cockup on my end, initially I was to pay them about 100 a turn to blockade oldtown if we went to war, keep you occupied while I picked off Renly, unfortunately I am not the best communicator and Stranger didnt understand the "if we went to war" part and attacked immediately.

    It's completely ridiculous. Roughly 50-100 people knew where the wedding was, and at least half were escorts. With the intrigue level that Renly has, the cunning of Margaery, and the vigilance of Brienne, ya'd think that at least one one of them would have thought something was up when Doran Martell sent Arbor wine to the secret wedding location.

    Exactly?

    I dunno, but regardless, it was really damn obvious.

    I was neutral. NEUTRAL. The only person I don't want on the throne is Joff, and that's because his brain is the size of a walnut.

    Most of my land is mountainous or forested, and the waters are far too stormy for a decent fishing industry. How did you expect my lands to help you? Or even go over to you?

    As I say, we were planning on blaming you even though we weren't sure that you did it - it would have just given us more ammunition in winning, say, the Riverlands to our cause.
