Do we have anyone in the North?

Garlan took Manderly.

[leonardothered]

Some of the Riverlords should probably go to the North then; just split em I say, itd be unrealistic for all to flop to one or the other. Some may even be undeclared.

Why would they go for Manderly over Lysa?  I really don't see the rationale for that, tbh.  At the very least most (especially Riverrun, Maidenpool, wherever the Blackwoods and Vances reside, and the Freyless Twins) would go for Lysa with a few scattered neutral minor houses.  Let's not forget The Vale did quite a bit to help The Riverlands in this verse, far more than Edmure did tbh.

This, also, the war has decimated riverland power so bad that one person having all the riverlords sworn to them would equal to an almost meaningless ability to wage war.

In other words, Enduro wants a quick solution that helps the North slightly and allows him to read the next end of turn quicker.

You forget that House Manderly was on the front lines since the red wedding, and House Stark has done far more to help the Riverlands than the Vale which is being led by an unpredictable crazy woman. Which would you choose?

[windjammer]

Honestly, guys, do whatever you want, as long as the game restarts soon.

1) You're already dead, I know you want the North to do well, but again, you're dead  

2) House Manderly has done literally nothing for The Riverlands, certainly nothing any RiverLord would care about, especially compared to The Vale

3) What I mentioned in my initial post seems like a reasonable worst case scenario for Lysa (who would have the support of The Blackfish and whom no one knows is crazy).

4) Btw, if Riverlands power really is as weak as you say, what's the big deal if I feel pretty strongly about this and even Windjammer indicated giving them to The Vale was the simplist solution.

[NeverAgain]

Okay, never done one of these before, but Lumine's games are always the bomb. So, I am going to join as the Blackfish (assuming it's open). Thanks!

Problem solved!

[Lumine]

Oh, thank the seven.

Turn will be up tomorrow afternoon, gentlemen! Get ready for the backstabbing to start again!

[Lumine]

Have fun.

[windjammer]

By the way guys I'm curious, Cersei is obviously now irrelevant but let's imagine she wasn't.
How would she react about Aegon ? I mean he's the son of someone she deeply loved but as well the son of Lyanna someone she hated.

She didn't deeply love Rhaegar, so...I'm guessing hated.  I also dispute the notion that Cersei ever truly loved anyone other than herself, but that's another matter.

[leonardothered]

Completely agree on Cersei. I doubt she even truly loved her children or at least loves power more.

[Garlan Gunter]

Also Aegon is (believed to be) Elia's son not lyanna's!

[windjammer]

Are you all okay???

[Swedge]

Hehe, Yessir

[Dereich]

I'm unable to focus on the game until tomorrow, but I have every intention to do so once I can.

[windjammer]

By the way Lumine,
Does Connington have the grey scale in this scenario?

No.

I'll be answering questions and some rulings in the coming minutes.

[Garlan Gunter]

Terribly sorry everyone but I'm going to have to withdraw. Life getting very hectic, in a good way but still! Enjoy the fun, and thanks especially to Lumine for providing it, as ever, so friskily

Perfectly understandable (I'm also struggling with finding time for the game), but good to know things are going well!

Any suggestions as to what to do with the North?

Make it NPC?
