I made a post about this on the 2008 Election Game I'm part of.

I made a post about this on the 2008 Election Game I'm part of.

Thanks! I do hope NHI doesn't mind, and another thread has been opened in the forum community board (that should suffice for now, I believe).

Since you're a former participant in the game series, I'm sure he'll be fine with it.

[DKrol]

I believe I have someone for Roose.

[DKrol]

Yes, Elkins is my guy. He and I are both players on Virtual America (a govsim) and I can vouch for his abilities.

[DKrol]

Elkins is clearly a sock so Dkrol can play two characters

I swear he's not. He's a real person, from a GovSim , whom I'm friends with. Several other players of that game are active on this forum and can vouch that we are not the same person.

[DKrol]

When can we expect the POV update? (not rushing you, just genuinely curious)

Glad you enjoyed it, xD

Yes, the Iron Throne is gone along with everything of value in the city, expect for Aurane Waters's Royal Fleet, the Reach survivors of Mathis Rowan and thousands of refugees and a few characters that managed to survive. It will be up to whoever wins the crown to choose his new capital and forge his new throne.

Spamage and Mr. X can start playing from the start of turn 4, they can have the Tyrells and the Boltons if nothing happens to them at the end of the turn.

I want to note that we now have two major claimants for the throne (Stannis v. Aegon), one independent king (Euron), Daenerys in Meereen and Tommen and Myrcella as wildcard kings or claimants.

Are we going to use the usual POV, one day for responses, and then the next day the new turn starts?

[DKrol]

The turn is over, it's writing time!

My favorite time!

[DKrol]

Will POVs be coming out today, continuing with the usual POV Thursdays, or later in the week?

I'll try to have them done by today, but if they are not up tonight it will be tomorrow at the latest.

Sorry if I see pushy at points, I'm just really having fun in this game and want to make sure it doesn't fall by the wayside like the 1550s game did.

[DKrol]

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

There are plenty of open spots! I'll let the GM tell you exactly which ones, but I'm sure there's one for you to join us!

[DKrol]

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

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.

[DKrol]

Has turn six actually started yet?

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

[DKrol]

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

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

[DKrol]

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?

[DKrol]

Didn't Waters have command over the Baratheon Fleet?

[DKrol]

Didn't Waters have command over the Baratheon Fleet?

No, to my knowledge that never happened, Waters has not fought in a battle since King's Landing was burnt to the ground.

Woops. Guess I got mixed up.

[DKrol]

POVs! POVs! POVs! POVs!

[DKrol]

On the upside, this gives up one more day to send in our turn orders.

Am I the only one who sends them in on the same day the turn starts?

[DKrol]

Twenty points to Lumine for using "Scumbag" in the Tully POV.

[DKrol]

When does this turn end?

POV's tomorrow, turn ends on Monday or Thursday.

Is the round still ending tonight, even though POVs didn't come?

[DKrol]

When will this round end?

[DKrol]

Don't stress yourself out, Lumine. We want you to keep going, producing high-quality material for us. If it takes two weeks for a round, we'll get over it.

[DKrol]

Until we get a player for Doran, would it be alright if I assume command over his armies - since they're playing such an important role in the game?
