The Lion and the Rose, the II ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread)

[Lumine]

Hey any open spots atm? I've read up on the story and I also went over the clash of kings game to get an idea of how to play. The stories are really good btw, kings landing blowing up was awesome

Well, Leonardo, welcome to the forum! Glad you liked both of the games, xD

There are many spots available, the main ones being:

-Daenerys Targaryen, now Dragonlady of Volantis
-Tyrion Lannister, Regent to King Tommen Baratheon
-Aurane Waters, Bastard of Driftmark
-Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North
-Ser Denys Mallister, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch

More can be available depending on how the game moves forward, but so far those are the main ones (I hope I didn't forget anyone important).

Wow such a difficult choice lol

I feel like picking Daenerys might be rocking the boat a bit too much with Aegon already in Westeros, how do people feel about me playing Jon? I'd also be Denys Mallister depending on what you think would best suit the game going forward. I was also considering Edmure even though the Riverlands is in shambles.

Aye but I reckon Jon is my first pick, he's currently married to Val and Stannis is his liege correct? Tbh I'll take whoever you think will suit the story best though, this one is already better than clash and I don't wanna slow anyone's roll

Quite excited though, gonna go get caught up on all the regional topics too and the vale player mentioned he was pretty proud of his POV IC so I'll check it out.

Oh, did you find this 'cause I posted about it on westeros.org?

Take your time to choose, Turn Five ends on Monday night and then you can start playing at the start of Turn Six as your chosen character. Jon is indeed married to Val and serving under Stannis.

In terms of what I might prefer considering the crucial characters I'd say Tyrion, Jon and Daenerys are the truly crucial ones during this stage. Tyrion because without him Tommen and the entire Westerlands are NPC's, Daenerys because she is moving to Westeros much quicker than in the books and Jon because the North needs some attention as well.

Yup yup, I'm Leonardo on there
If we're eager for more players I definitely know one or two who would be interested. They slaughtered me last game of ASOIAF diplomacy we played, so you don't have to worry about any goofy alliance antics

I'll take a minute then, it seems like Dany might be the crucial character here then since her forces are still unspent, then again Tyrion actually still wields a decent force too and his gold

I think a player Tyrion would be a good addition to the game - since he knows about Cersei and Jaime, it'd be interesting to see how he handles being Hand without Cersei or the defiant Joffrey around.

[Lumine]

By all means, Leonardo, if you have some extra players in mind don't hesitate to invite them!

[leonardothered]

In really tempted to take Jon but I'll take a tyrion since he's going to be more involved it seems

Welcome then, Lord Tyrion! You will start from Turn Six, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubts.

[Lumine]

Sorry, I had a delay, everything will be up today!

[leonardothered]

Had a reeeaaallly long POV chapter so I figure'd I would summarize OOC here:

Smallcouncil:
Steward - Roland Crakehall
Coin - Alysanne Lefford
Laws - Forley Prester
Whisper - Antario Jast
Marshal - Addam Marbran
Admiral - Gerion Farman

Kingsguard:
Ser Jaime Lannister
Ser Balon Swann
Ser Lyle Crakehall
Ser Harwyn Plumm
Ser Josmyn Peckledon

I also issued a pardon for Clegane should he return to the west to claim the castle or serve though I don't really expect that to pan out, and also a 250k gold dragon bounty for Euron's head and 100,000 for Victarion. A Lannister always pays his debts

I'll try and cut the next POV shorter >.<

I hope not! It was a great read, please keep it up.

Has turn six actually started yet?

[DKrol]

Has turn six actually started yet?

I don't think so. We haven't got our player crises.

[leonardothered]

Oh my bad, I still don't entirely understand procedure just yet, should i take my pov down?

[DKrol]

No, I think it's fine. POVs aren't that important - most of the game is done by PM.

[Lumine]

Turn hasn't started but that's my fault, so no worries! It will formally start soon.

Hi, another recruit from Westeros!

I'd be really interested in joining either as Aurane, Ser Denys Mallister, or...someone else? Can I pick more of less any lord?

I think which characters are available depends on the situation when you enter the game or at least that's how it was during the first game (ex: I doubt whichever Redwyne became a Lord after Paxter's...err...cremation would be a playable character).  But Aurane Waters and Ser Denys Mallister are both available right now, as I'm sure you saw.

[Garlan Gunter]

Aurane was last seen chilling on Driftmark with the dromonds and Qyburn, right?

And Jon Con is bound for the wall...hrrrm.

Well, welcome to the forums!

The idea is to pick one of the available characters because otherwise you might not have many things to do, and so far the ones available are:

-Aurane Waters, Bastard of Driftmark
-Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell
-Ser Denys Mallister, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch
-Daenerys Targaryen, Dragonlady of Volantis
-Edmure Tully, Lord of Riverrun

And the High Septon of Oldtown might be a possibility as well.

[Garlan Gunter]

Edmure is an amusing and tempting option too!

EDIT: I've pondered and I'd like to join as Aurane.

[badgate]

Welcome, Garlan! Cool to see my post on Westeros brought you here.

Lumine, is there a set date for the end of turn 6?

[Lumine]

Welcome, Garlan! Cool to see my post on Westeros brought you here.

Lumine, is there a set date for the end of turn 6?

Yes, POV comes tomorrow, turn ends at Sunday night and from there on they should take five or six days instead of a week, I don't want to bore the players, xD

Edmure is an amusing and tempting option too!

EDIT: I've pondered and I'd like to join as Aurane.

Welcome, Admiral! You can start playing at the start of the next turn.

For our knowledge - who has Waters aligned with since the burning of KL? I beat him up near Dragonstone. Is he still holding it for Tommen?
