The Iron Throne, the V ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread) (Turn Open)

[Dereich]

It may be delayed a couple of hours... hearing of John Hurt's death forced me to watch some of his scenes as Caligula.

But dice rolls are done, three of you ended up dying.

THREE?

My honest guess is that Edmure Tully, Walder Frey, and Khal Drogo ended up dying.

Holy Inks on a stick

I predict Walder Frey, Edmure Tully, and Viserys Targaryen ended up dying.

[DKrol]

RIP Stannis, Walder, and Olenna.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

RIP Stannis, Walder, and Olenna.

Huh...did not see that coming (well aside from Walder Frey, who was clearly a goner).

[Swedge]

Ahh poor old Walder, apparently hostages aren't enough to keep the might of Enduro at bay, well played!

[Lumine]

Windjammer, Swedge, GoTfan, excellent work. I'm sorry that you had to meet your end on this turn, but you were excellent players and I'm glad all of you took part so far in the game.

I do feel I need to explain the Stannis situation, just so there's no confusion:

I learned very early in the game that Stannis was planning to declare for Viserys, which did led to an internal conflict on how to read Stannis and whether he'd even consider it. I decided to let the matter go for a turn to see what happened, and I asked Garlan and GoTfan to explain why should I allow this action despite it being hard to justify in canon. Both their answers proved satisfactory to me, and I decided to give it a green light... with a twist.

Even if we accept the argument of Stannis seeing Viserys as the legal heir as he agonized over whether to fight Aerys with Robert, I highly doubt the smallfolk, his lords and his allies would be willing to accept his turn, so I added a dice roll by the time he declared for Viserys on how badly the response would go, 1 being acceptable, 6 being a disaster. Stannis got a six, so I crafted  the scenario you just saw. I hope that explains the situation.

Turn 5 will be up tomorrow. Blair has the right to claim a new character first as he comes from the last turn, then the players who died this turn.

[Garlan Gunter]

Wow. Mad and disheartening and thrilling!!!

[leonardothered]

This will probably be the best iteration so far. So many ways to play out and many already have. Very very interesting...

[leonardothered]

Also what characters are open out of curiosity?

[windjammer]

I guess didn't die from natural causes and got poisoned?

[windjammer]

Anyway,
I truly wish all of you the best

[leonardothered]

I guess didn't die from natural causes and got poisoned?

I'm guessing Widow's Blood. It takes a few days to kill someone and basically looks like regular illness in many ways.

[GoTfan]

Well I'm done. What now? Could I continue as Davos Seaworth?

[Blair]

The smallfolk always loved their one true King Renly

[Lumine]

Let's go over open characters:

We have House Tyrell (as Mace Tyrell) and some of its key bannermen such as Houses Florent, Hightower and Tarly. We have the Stormlands wide open after Stannis's death, so a player can choose between Eldon Estermont, Bryce Caron, Cortnay Penrose and, if we really want to go to uncharted territory, play as young Edric Storm.

Davos Seaworth is another possibility, I can retcon his presence in KL and have him in charge of Stannis's armies and fleets in Dragonstone to give him a shot.

In Essos we also have Tyrosh (As Drogo's ally and now expanding through South Essos), the Iron Bank of Braavos (although I've made little progress on how they should be played), and of course, the adventurer Euron Greyjoy.

That aside, there's Yohn Royce, Wyman Manderly or Roose Bolton as other important Lords (although I'd very much encourage taking Tyrell first, and perhaps the Stormlords second unless we want to have that as NPC's).

Events in King's Landing will be moving fast (and going crazy soon), but so far none of the characters I have in mind there are available.

[GoTfan]

Is Gendry playable?

[Lumine]

Is Gendry playable?

Afraid not. It's a flavor event, but Gendry has no education and barely realized he's Robert's son.

Blair will be joining as Mace Tyrell, his turn events will be up tomorrow.

Very well. I will join as Davos.

[Lumine]

Events for Davos and Mace are up. If Swedge and Windjammer wish to rejoin, do let me know!

I do not wish to rejoin now, I'm too busy IRL. I might be available later.
Best of luck!

[Swedge]

Sure I might as well give Cortnay Penrose a go, seems like it'd be fun.

Nice! Your event turns will be up in a few minutes.

I wouldn't say wide open given that their loyalty by all rights and measures goes to by default to Shireen... ;}
