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

[Lumine]

This can be considered good news or bad news, but I've finished the dice rolls and two players died this turn. I'll get to writing the update.

[Lumine]

Congratulations on Swedge and Spamage for excellent performances as Tywin and Cortnay, I'm truly sorry the dice weren't kind on you this turn. Should you wish to return (I hope so!), you have first preference on Tyrion Lannister and Edric Storm.

[Lumine]

I would second Robert's Rebellion, as long as the game starts in the war itself (After the False Spring had a great concept, but the caution of the players prevented full-scale war to break out as it should).

In any case, after this is over it will be a long time before I ever host another ASOIAF game.

[Lumine]

Thanks everyone for such a fun game, especially to Lumine for hosting! Unfortunately I really dont have the time to remain as comitted, so I will not be rejoining. I wish you all the best of luck, you never know who will die next

So sorry to hear that, Spamage, it was great having you in the game!

What is the ETA for the next turn opening?

As soon as we get a player for House Lannister, we cannot do without that House.

[Lumine]

Oh, I missed that, we have a House Lannister then. Sorry for the continued delays, university is putting a lot of pressure on me.

[Lumine]

Okay, turn open.

[Lumine]

Turn closes on Friday.

[Lumine]

The move has been temporarily revoked, I have no PM's from the player in question (and while I do have other PM's on the subject, they're clearly insufficent for me to make out what has been going on.

Unless I recieve a plausible explanation, I may to revoke it outright.

[Lumine]

Noted, I thank you for sending the missing parts so far (that clears up a confusion I had). That said, I still fail to see the reasoning behind it (why it would be a plausible move from Tyrion).

[Lumine]

The deal is formally revoked. I don't rule out a different version if things get to the point in which it looks more plausible, but right now it doesn't.

Turn is over, end of turn will come during the day.

[Lumine]

Only one player didn't sent orders, which will affect some of the other orders sent. Other than that, I'll get to the dice rolls.

Who?

House Martell.

[Lumine]

Not sure how to put this, but, well, four of you are dead. (and it could have been as much as seven, believe it or not)

I didn't even have a chance to send real orders... As of last night nothing had been deciding and had huge bearing on what would occur...

Hm. Any chance you could send emergency ones to complete the turn?

[Lumine]

Mace Tyrell is counted as NPC whether he dies or lives, so it's four current players.

[Lumine]

My congratulations to X, GoTfan, Windjammer and Badgate, excellent performances all around!

Current Playable Houses and Characters:

Aegon Targaryen, Claimant to the Iron Throne
Euron Greyjoy, Claimant to the Iron Islands

Lord Wyman Manderly, Lord of White Harbor
Lord Paxter Redwyne, Lord of the Arbor
Lord Leyton Hightower, Lord of Oldtown
Lord Yohn Royce or Lady Anya Waynwood
Lord Tytos Blackwood or Ser Brynden Tully, the Blackfish 

[Lumine]

Badgate has first preference on Euron as the Ironborn player, then it's open for request.

[Lumine]

Badgate rejoins as Euron, and Dereich has Tarly as well.

[Lumine]

Let's go with Aegon then

Welcome back!

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Is this supposed to imply that Damphair and Euron are working together? That sounds...odd.

No, they're just there. No actual conspiracy at all (they still deeply dislike each other).

Out of curiosity, who were the others who almost died this turn?

If a few orders have gone slightly different, Viserys, Drogo and Tyrion.

Are there any other characters open? I'd be interested in taking Mance Rayder.

The full list is up in the thread, but if you can have Mance Rayder.

[Lumine]

So how many of Tarly's men are Lannister reinforcements? Trying to get some figures on this

I'll get to the numbers later.

[Lumine]

For the record, this turn starts on Tuesday night.

[Lumine]

For the record, this turn starts on Tuesday night.

Will we get player crises, or at the least the troop numbers/map post too?  That stuff's kinda important

I'm trying to do that, yes. Tuesday night hasn't ended yet (although I do have a different timezone).

[Lumine]

Sorry, folks. Managed to update armies, but I'm exhausted after a very unpleasant day... Formal turn crisis will have to wait until I have a chance to sleep.

[Lumine]

Very personal, actually, but I'll survive. Writing the turn, have ruled positive on Shireen and Trystane and Robin and Arya getting married (bear in mind neither match will be consummated until quite a few years along the line, and that's a final ruling).

As to the western issue, we assume it didn't took place. I apologize for not acting earlier, but AZ1187 was not sending me any PM's and so I was partially blindsided. Next time I'll step in immediately.
