Westeros: A Game of Thrones.

[White_eyes:D]

Oh come on, Robb's a momma's boy and you're his mother, get influencing.

Nobody listens to Cat when they are upset.

[The Stranger]

Cat is one of the most annoying povcharacters in the books. crazy *****

[The Stranger]

Yeah, it doesnt help that there arent any good SOIAF mods for the total war games.

there is one under construction for mtw2

[Double A]

Cyanide is gonna make a RPG. I read about it in GI, actually sounds pretty decent and like it won't be rushed.

Huh, I had forgotten about her, she didnt seem important enough to bother with, I suppose if she didnt go with Sansa she's still in KL somewhere.
I wonder where Beric dondarrion went, he was supposedly on the way to take Gregor Clegane's head yet I didn't get any messages about it.

He's in space fighting the Klingons with James Bond and Batman.

I'm going to get back to proper GMing tomorrow and I'll reply to anything I haven't already (I notice some QTs have a lot of new posts, if you asked a question I didn't answer drop me a pm or ask it again further up the QT and I'll answer tomorrow.

Just wanted to clarify one thing first, the post in the Game Thread, no 91 by Greyblades, that caused a bit of fuss. I don't have a problem with it, like I've said a few times, not all the information in the game is freely available, and from the results Greyblades received the post was perfectly fine.

[johnhughthom]

I said I would make a rule on declarations, any declarations on war must be made at least 24 hours before the deadline to be allowed.

[Greyblades]

I wonder how Beskar expects to do anything to the greyjoys without losing his blockade.

[Beskar]

Easy, it is part of my plot to invade King's Landing when you think I am at Pyke.

[johnhughthom]

Something unexpected came up last night and I wasn't able to do the gming I'd planned, doing so now.

[johnhughthom]

I think that's all the pms needing replies dealt with, let me know if I missed any. Darn Ironborn plaguing me with pms while I was trying to get through them, can't trust those pirates.

[The Stranger]

well you were much nicer when we were drinking scotch and i bribed you by offering 40 virgins to let me win.

[johnhughthom]

Opening post of Game Thread updated with an FAQ.

[The Stranger]

will the phase be postponed more? i prefer not... :P

[johnhughthom]

The round will end on schedule, it is likely I will be unable to complete the results by Monday though, Tuesday is more likely, as I'll be spending the New Year at my sisters and won't have much time to work on the results before Monday evening.

[The Stranger]

ok can we get a prolonged phase that first week of january then? like till the 10th or sumthing?

[The Stranger]

i thought the nights watch didnt partake in the squables of the realm, i think this means they will not sit in a jury like which is proposed in the game thread either?

[White_eyes:D]

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all nights to come

There is nothing in the oath itself that says they can't act as impartial judges. And war has yet to be declared anyway.

[Kagemusha]

What is exactly the trial about. "King" Joffrey is put on trial of murder of Ned Stark? How on earth that would happen?

[Arjos]

First, atm he's not king, and second he personally ordered the murder of the King's Hand...
So basically, what authority permitted him to do so?

[Greyblades]

What is exactly the trial about. "King" Joffrey is put on trial of murder of Ned Stark? How on earth that would happen?

Simple, Sandor clegane and Joffrey are going on trial because they killed Ned. the starks say its murder and we say it was a rightful execution, if we can prove Ned was a traitor Sandor and Joffrey are innocent, if not Sandor will be executed, joffrey goes to the wall
And yes Joffrey will attend, Tywin has enough dread to intimidate him into submitting "of his own voulition", little git deserves at least the chance of retribution.

[Kagemusha]

Well...Ok.If it is accepted by the host, then go for it. Putting once claimant of the throne to trial, while he is son of your daughter.Well,ok.

[Greyblades]

Tywin doesn't expect to lose, also I think it will be a learning experience for the boy.

[Double A]

"There's always Tommen."

[Greyblades]

Yup if I win the starks are satisfyed and I keep clegane, if I lose the starks are elated and I lose joffrey. Win-win.

[Beskar]

I don't think the Stark's would be satisfied.
"Rob, your father was killed because he was leaving King's Landing, escaping for his life and trying to protect his own daughters"

It is pretty easy what is going to happen. Either Tywin has a trap installed or Joffrey will really be going to the Wall, the Hound dead, and even less legitimacy for you.

[Greyblades]

Well, more like "Robb your father was allied to a known traitor and fleeing KL with his daughters in an attempt to link up with said traitor and put a bastard on the throne instead of the legitemate heirs."

Incidentally, thanks for putting Eddards letter in the announcement thread so I can use it as evidence.

[Double A]

Put a bastard on the throne? But I thought Ned hated Joff.

[Greyblades]

I meant Edric storm.

[Beskar]

I meant Edric storm.

How can you link Ned Stark with Edric Storm?

I mean, trying to link Stannis sure.. but Edric Storm?!

[Greyblades]

I link him to you and I link him to edric storm. Anyway it doesnt matter I dont need to outright prove he's a traitor beyond all doubt, just provide more/better evidence that he was than not and the nights watch judge will rule on my side.
