    Would you mind playing a different faction? The Greyjoys already have three players, but the Tyrells, Dragonstone and Storm's End only have two.

    BTW, if anybody disagrees with the characters in their faction, or thinks I've forgotten somebody, let me know. The make up of each faction isn't set in stone. Some of the choices weren't ideal, but I think I've got the best options in each faction. There were probably a few more I could have put in as vassals, but I didn't want to have an overwhelming number of characters, some factions already have quite a few.

    Considering everyone knows who Lannister house's members are (and could see thier stats up until yesterday) I think there should be an addition to the opening post where every factions member and thier locations are listed.

    Whoops, sorry I thought I'd got rid of that. I don't think any of the locations are a surprise, and I picked the Lannisters as the four characters would be pretty obvious to anyone.

    Perhaps Lord Lannister should be sufficiently proud that his House is so reknowed and don't concern himself with other Houses?

    can you specify the cost and or requirements for knights, or when they are classified like longships, atleast give a specification like you gave for longships who or what can get knights?

    Knights are landed gentry, they have no upkeep cost and can only be called upon in time of war. Losing knights can be disastrous for factions. Not all factions can call up knights, though they may have a few with the factional army.

    This was buried away in page three, I have quoted it in the op of the main thread, and will do so again here.

    A lot of ideas I have come across are not in the spirit of this, I understand it's difficult not to use the knowledge you have but some of it is blatantly giving the characters psychic abilities. I won't disallow orders that I feel come into this category, but you may not like the results.

    Hey, clarifying final orders: one player sends them all in, and the others (CCed) confirm with their approval?

    Oh, yes, some of the QTs are getting rather long, you know who you are. I would appreciate it if you could put your faction orders in one post before the end of the phase. No need to pm me, unless you control an individual character and want to over-ride any QT orders. You sneaky devil.

    Also; I have decided that everybody can play one character if they wish. One member of each team must be the Faction Leader however, and that person will control the characters without players. If anybody prefers to play as a team that will be fine as well.

    cross post Monty, I think I answered your question anyway :)

    You are going to need to be more clear about this...if I follow this then the Stark's will no matter what, choose the path they did in the books then

    The world of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is more about there is no right answer that solves everything for everyone, rather then the right answer is always the hard and obvious one. I just want to know how free we are to act honorably/dishonorably and what you would define as being "psychic".(Since you would need some knowledge of the characters at least)

    It seems this war will be over sooner that I thought. I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could think of something.

    Ah, ah, ah, I could never tell, though I can tell you that I can see at least one way for you to improve your situation without Ned becoming dishonerable.
