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.

Sorry to hear that lumine, hope just hard work nothing personal. The wedding listed I assume should be me and Arianne not Shireen and trissy - grabbing onto what straws I still can!! Excited / freaked out re the entrance of our new players...

By the way, I didn't comment on the whole western alliance being shot down thing because I was away over the weekend; unsurprisingly I agree with Leonardo but perhaps more importantly it would have been good to hear any ooc doubts from the mod at an earlier stage, in order to be able to react and discuss. I'm also now unsure what happened ic (breakdown of negotiations? Nothing at all?)

Congratulations to the Khal Dkrol; not only did he utterly merc me last turn but he, Doran and I are now the only original players hanging in!

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.

Thank you! But no, it really isn't.

Turn is up, but it's very simple on the "crisis" for each player given the current circumstances (hope you won't mind). I do have a proposal, since I think I went overboard by having Lysa Arryn kill herself after learning about Baelish's death. Lysa would be an interesting factor to be playable, and in that sense I was wondering whether X would be interested in playing as Lysa (which I believe is the case) and whether people would complain about this retcon.

I'll wait until tomorrow night for responses and then edit either Royce or Lysa into the turn.

I got to tell y'all, and I should've told y'all sooner, but I'm not going to continue playing Catelyn. I can play this turn, so Lumine can have more time to find a replacement.

My only brook against such a move is that Lysa suiciding after LF death is far more likely than any other alternative.

Then again I think she has been under represented in the game and would provide the most fun of all alternatives.

Well, after all, Lysa never actually committed suicide, and her suicidal feelings were Littlefinger's fiction! She still has Robin and vengeance (ulp?!) to live for...

If X would like to switch to Lysa I'd definitely go for Lysa being Regent of the Vale instead of Yohn

I say you make it a botched suicide attempt. That would make early reports of her death and Yohn's powergrab attempt at leadership make sense while reinforcing the instability and psychological issues we've come to know and love from Lysa. If you want to go extreme with it, have it leave a mark so her crazy inside can be matched by a crazy outside.

Nah, the Vale Lords would probably just ignore/depose her then Sad  Plus it'd rob the Vale of it's most competent commander which hardly seems fair.

If they didn't already, when she married LF? No way. Especially Yohn; no way he'd disrespect Jon Arryn's memory and sully his honor by trying to keep power after he found out Lysa was still alive (and still held his liegelord).

Randyl Tarly just made the biggest act of kindness that Westeros has seen since the start of the game.

Hahahaha are you serious?

This is not kindness, he gets hostages from the other side and is 'ow seen as a good guy.

This is honestly really smart.

Also I'm not gonna switch if it's under the conditions Dereich described because...well...I'm not stupid Tongue  It'd really be a shame too because I had some really fun ideas about what Lysa might do in this situation that could've made the game a lot less predictable and even more fun for everyone than it already is Sad

My real agenda is to make a better story that makes sense in the universe, as it always is. Lysa is emotional, dramatic, and utterly devoted to Petyr Bailish. Her at very least attempting a showy suicide attempt after his death makes much more sense than her taking sudden, violent death in stride. She found his body, stabbed and bloody for gods sake. I think it would be OOC any other way.

That's because you haven't thought of every possibility Tongue  There is another very IC possibility...  I also think there's something to be said for letting folks play characters their own way when doing so would not effect gameplay.  And your idea regarding Royce doesn't do anything except help the enemies of the Vale.

It's called sarcasm, Randyl is not capable of kindness. He's a less political Tywin. At least, in my opinion.

I have no objections IF X commits to her unpredictability and insanity. Then it very much would make the game more interesting

And I have confidence he will do that.
