What's the timeline for the rest of this round?

[DKrol]

Working on the update, and we will get a new player next turn!

Best news I've heard in a long time.

[DKrol]

I have an idea of who I should take over as in the next round, but I'm open to suggestions.

[DKrol]

Join Team Stannis! It's what all the *cool people are doing!


*Excepting the Ice People

I was thinking either Arienne or Denys Mallister.

[DKrol]

I'm itching to get back into this after dying.

Any thoughts on who you will go with next?

Denys Mallister, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

[DKrol]

v much enjoyed Varys etc, but feel a bit lost as to which of Aegon's kingsguard are alive!

DKrol, maybe Ser Denys should snuff it from age, a heartbroken JonCon could be a wild fun replacement...

Actually, from a dramatic point of view that would be a brilliant choice. I wouldn't normally do this, but if Dkrolga prefers Jon Connington then I am willing to kill old Ser Denys at the end of the turn.

I will, very gladly, take that change if Jon will definitely be the next Lord Commander.

A Proclamation from King Aegon

...

Small Council of Aegon VI Targaryen
Kingsguard:
1 - Ser Franklyn Fossoway
2 - Ser Garth Hightower
3 - Ser Archibald Yronwood
4 - Ser Horas Redwyne
5 - Ser Vortimer Crane
6 - Ser Ryon Allyrion
Lord Commander - Ser Areo Hotah

...

Commander of the City Watch: Ser Rolly Duckfield

I was working off this post in the South thread. Yronwood, Crane, Allyrion, and Hightower were with Aegon in the Crownlands. Hotah, Redwyne, and Fossoway were left at Storm's End.

Aegon killed Hightower at Rosby. Brienne killed Fossoway at Storm's End.

I also killed Allyrion.

[DKrol]

I'll take Jon Connington.

[DKrol]

Lumine, if you need help with a POV I'd be happy to help out.

[DKrol]

Am I dead?

[DKrol]

I guess I'll take Victarion. Maybe I'll last longer than a turn.

[DKrol]

Mmm. Isn't what she'd mainly do go and fry Others? and so isn't your vote a teensy bit self-serving, X? I fully admit mine is too though, as a member of the living and a Targ partisan at that! Personally I vote Benjen her until something (willing player, good mod death opportunity, Fingerbones, whatever) turns up.

But for pity's sake don't kill off those dragons, we really need them to stop the enemy given that there seem to be as many unkillable beings as Renly had peasants in the books...!

My vote actually isn't self-serving, even if it happens to benefit me, since I'm not making it with any strategic purpose.  I'd be fine with doing whatever makes for a better story and more interesting game.  I'm pretty sure I've said to both Lumine and Dereich in the past that I've already accomplished like 90% of my goals for the game and am now just having fun ruling over my dystopian fiefdom in the North ("the rest is gravy" is how I believe I put it)  

I genuinely believe these games are generally a lot more interesting without Dany/if she dies (and still would even if I were playing as an ally of GameDany) because the dragons make her pretty over-powered (remember in the first game, it took an Arryn-Lannister-Stark-Baratheon-Greyjoy alliance to defeat Dany even without her dragons).  The Others have certain weaknesses that can be exploited, but the dragons are basically all-but-invincible.  There's also admittedly an element of personal preference since Dany winning probably means the closest thing to a "happily ever after" ending and that kinda just feels wrong for a GoT game that has been as dark as this one has.  Of course, it's obviously Lumine's call, so I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I agree. That's why I started as Aegon - all the Targaryen fun without the OP dragons.

[DKrol]

I bet I'm dead. $20.

[DKrol]

Could I return as Dany? The game my hate me, but I'm not going to give in and let some random numbers define me.

You have to ask? Of course you can! I can't even express how relieved I am to hear that!

That said, we can actually begin tomorrow if we have a Daenerys, although if someone wishes to join in as Asha he can do so even in the middle of the turn.

Well sign me up and get the train rollin'!
