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

[ASPN]

Balon sounds fun, I'm gonna call dibs on him.

[ASPN]

Can I take on Edmure?

Yes, of course!

Aw, I can't control the Tully forces.

Bloody Starks. They bang your sister and then they think they can raise your levies!

I say we chop all their heads off.

[ASPN]

That sucks, computer trouble is never fun. At least we know now.

[ASPN]

Though as mentioned before, computer issues have suspended the game atm, so it may be some time after joining that you'll actually have a game to participate in.

[ASPN]

I'm all aboard starting as soon as we can.

[ASPN]

Welcome back. I just sent my moves in, procrastination is a tough mistress.

[ASPN]

Sorry for having bombed you with messages lol

Makes things more interesting.

[ASPN]

I'd like us to end this turn tomorrow so we can move on, so please send your remaining orders as soon as possible. I think four players still need to send those (three of them who are quite important to end the turn)

On the good news side, as soon as I close the turn I'll post POV's! Anywhere from 2 to 3, one of which is already finished (and it's one I had a lot of fun writing)

Oh dear...

First difference from the books!

The point has been made at least.

Gonna be fun trying to get myself out of this situation that's for sure.

[ASPN]

This turn is over btw, I'm half way through the dice rolls. One of you, I'm afraid, is dead. Two to three more players may also be in danger.

Dun dun duuunnn

[ASPN]

Anyone else cracking up / despairing at quickfire fone autocorrect? David Seaworth, Shirley Baratheon, Khan or Khalifa Drogo...

That's not funny at all.

-Edmund Fully

I agree

-Salon Gregory

[ASPN]

Fine, until tomorrow it is (26 hours more).

I don't see why you're all surprised, though, it's been literally a week and it's been several turns now we take an exact week and end on Fridays.

I'm inclined to agree. We've had today as the cut off for some time now. Shouldn't catch anyone off guard.

[ASPN]

I might of died, but at least the Starks look bad now.

[ASPN]

And Balon proved a much wiser king than in canon.

Canon Balon also did better, taking large chunks of the North.

[ASPN]

I've always disliked the Greyjoys in these games and thought they are essentially traps for aspiring players. Once you get the role you realize you have no potential allies (because nobody SERIOUSLY wants to allow the realm to split up), too few military resources to have a critical impact on the war, but a strong enough navy to make invasion highly unlikely. Garlan is the only one who came close to a significant impact and that's because that game was pre-Wot5k and independence wasn't the only option.

Yeah, whole time I played I thought. "It don't really matter who I side with, they gonna back stab me anyways." Was banking on the Targaryan deciding I wasn't worth the trouble of retaking.

[ASPN]

At any rate, I am game for rejoining. Maybe not as a Greyjoy though.

[ASPN]

I absolutely loved playing the Greyjoys - ships, crazy cast of various characters, risk-taking, madness, unpredictability, etc. And I think one of the fun things about this games is (at least ideally) that everyone has endless potential beyond their apparent resources - as I hope Ramsay Snow and Aurane Waters have both in their time proved...!

So Dr_Novella don't abandon the squiddies unless you really want to - not speaking from self interest here! If Vissy got copped I would definitely consider reentering as Asha or Euron

Maybe. Though going by kingsmoot, Vicarion would probably get it. Didn't send Asha to do anything and I don't remember if Euron has the horn yet.

[ASPN]

Hm...Maybe we could say with the other candidates ether too far away or held by Starks, that Asha strong arms her way to being the next ruler? I'd rejoin as a Greyjoy for that. (Otherwise the High Sparrow is tempting)

[ASPN]

Well dead or alive, if no one objects to my Ashe justification. I'll rejoin as her.

[ASPN]

So uh. As much as it pains me to say this. I've lost my spark with these games as of late and not giving it the time they deserve. So uh yeah. Gonna back out for now.
