The fire ants don't happen until Episode 9.

Put me in, coach.
No idea how I'll actually participate, but will figure that out once the game starts.

20!

Awesome.

Good deal; I'll be happy to read along.

Yay Tyrion!

Oh man - I almost want to not be a king and to be a neutral character instead...hehe

Ditto. :)

This rule set sounds complicated but also incredibly open ended, which I like. Should be fun.

That's the idea actually. I'm less setting this game up to be strictly rule based as much as setting up a world with some general rules. Then giving everyone a role and saying, go at it, may the best King win.

It could go great, or frankly, it could fall completely flat, since you guys always come up with things I didn't think of. :D

I'm crossing my fingers for great.

The sequel to this game will have Daenerys. Count it.

Unless she's yet to be added yet. ;)

Stop talking about the show! Pretend we all exist in the current time period and know nothing of the future!

You know nothing. Hurry up, you.

Yeah, that probably isn't going to happen.
Except me - I'll just make up random stuff that doesn't happen in the books to make it seem like I'm spoiling things, when I'm really not. But everyone else will likely be dropping 100% legit spoilers from time to time.

I just ordered books 1-4

Didnt want to bother with book 5?

Like the rest of us, lol

It was a pack of 4 for $20

I would like to join, if there's still a space.

Please make me Hodor.

Lied! Off with his head!

The deceit has already begun.

Plenty of room. Welcome to the game!

Haha yeah, I deserve that. Trying to get a game off while working two jobs is hard, lol.

Sending out roles shortly, but more detailed roles will follow today.

If the mailman comes today I should be able to finish season 1 this weekend.

Have you gotten to the part where the dude dies? Didn't see it coming at all.

If Chief were Martin, this is where he would come on and apologize, say he has 3/4 of the game written, but it's too long for a single game, thus he is splitting it into two games. The good news is that means the second game is almost done! (and will be run in 5-6 years when it's finished)

Lol... Spot on, JAG.

Okay, roles are going out in a few hours here. They have to. I'm going to skip Night Zero, since that was only to get us through the weekend anyway. Rather pointless now.

I actually have everyone's roles ready. But I have to write up the final rules, and that's been a B and a half. So apologies for the wait.

If Chief were Martin, he would be re-releasing his "Evil Star Trek" game on BGG right now, and then respond to questions about when this game would begin by publishing a collection of short stories about the early years of The Warlord/Barbarian partnership.

Oi! Rum! Send out the roles now!

Then we can all "role" play until you post rules.

And am I the only one who thinks that this could be really mental if a werewolf team was chucked into the mix. Impossible to balance but mental.

Welcome greenbeans by the way. Are you male or female?

JAG's learned.

Thanks. And lol, I'm female.

Is this because Font outed my gender last game? (I really don't care... in fact, I prefer it to be unknown on the internet...)

No, it's just that people feel bad if they realize they've been referring to a he as she or a she as he. And it is so impersonal.

this is the internet, I assume you are all 500 lb guys who do not bathe.

people who live in glass houses...

only 230! and im dead sexy!

threads gonna be up tomorrow?

Setting them up right now.

do we post at all in this thread too or solely in our faction thread?

So Lathum is a Stark, without a wolf. Irony

You will vote here, and you can discuss your Enemy of the Realm voting here as well. Not too mention for many of you, this will be the only way to communicate with most of the rest of the players (although you might not want to say anything here for everyone to read).

Public announcements will happen here, as well as other posting of information that may be important.

Of course, this is also where deadlines will happen.

Why even play this out, everyone knows that I am the rightful king as the Robert's son. I expect you all to bend the knee and ask for forgiveness.

So cercei is playing role of narcizo?

You haven't even had your stones drop yet

Heh... good catch. I fixed it.

Now I must say goodnight, my wine and whore await.

Ooc, this game will be more fun since I watched season 1 before hand

It pains me that a Lannister not only feels the need to debase himself, but also to ensure that the entire realm knows of his actions.

That said, I would hope that Tyrion would remember that he is a Lannister and that the interests of Casterly Rock and Kings Landing intersect in the form of Joffrey.

hmmm, I think I should watch this series at some point

Well I would hate to disappoint your lofty expectations father

Vanilla villager checking in.

Let's find some wolves. Oh look there's one. But I can't vote him. :mad:

T'is a hard role to play but I shall endeavour my hardest to shoulder the mantle of greatness.

You shall show your liege the respect he deserves imp.

LMAO

AND I AM THE MASTER OF WHISPERS!!!!

Also, hoping to see the descriptions for the last couple of neutrals as well.

Oops! I clicked on the top thread without looking to see what it was and it was a clan thread. Sorry about that fellow family members (and/or over-sized nutters). I shall be more careful in future.

Three neutrals. Two are tiresomely mundane while the third is positively SPLENDID!

Agree that some of the neutrals hold more interest to me than others.

As for you, someone SPLENDID like yourself should be quite the catch for when the time comes to put this kingdom back together under the rule of your son.

Yes, MY son. You won't be able to marry away the Queen Mother quite as easily as you might hope, father. I have grown used to power and I'm not the wide-eyed naif I might have been in my youth. Joffrey is the king and my son, not yours.

The finest knight in all the land reporting... for who?

I believe he reports to the king and is to be found in the Lannister thread, old man.

See the infighting amongst Lannisters and their ilk already?

The King of the North offers you escape from the insanity of the south. They are the disease, we are the cure.

is there still info missing in the rules?

King Robb deserves your respect and sword hand Ser Barristan. He has proven his worth on the battlefield and fights for honor's sake.

Gotta be.

Hey Chief - Are King's Hands matters of public record?

just dont forget to pay for her...i would hate for your reputation of paying your debts to be tarnished

ok, I already posted in the wrong thread.... at least now I know there are 2 baratheon factions (which I knew before).

i hope this will be added to the front page :)

Of course. The bonds shared by northern goatherders must certainly be thicker than those of the lands proudest and most esteemed family in the Seven Kingdoms.

One thing that I expect all of the factions would agree upon - the chattel from the north is not fit for a throne. They are a family of desperate graspers. Will Rob be beheaded with his father's greatsword, or his own?

Brave words from a man who bred a dwarf and an incestuous duo.

You might want to check to see how many toes that grandson of yours has. Just saying.

It would be great to have the list of kings / bannermen in the first post of the House threads, but sometime down the road, after the rules are finished. I am assuming that third rule page will be pretty massive.

Ya know. I almost would ask people to put their character names / public house affiliation in their signatures for the duration of this game. It's gonna be an absolute bitch to keep track of people otherwise.

All Hail Robb Stark, the King of the North!

we did it for the Royal Rumble, i was thinking the same thing for this one.

You would do well not to confuse my objectives with those of my father or, even, my son. As I told my beloved father I am my own woman, I will choose with whom I have dealings and I am sure that I will be able to assist the true King of Westeros.

I do stand corrected, honored Lady.

A lot of hot air wasted in this thread. Every person in the realm, from the highest lords to the smallest simpletons knows that the crown passes to the eldest brother. With your squabbling you simply demonstrate your unworthiness to wear it. If you are lucky you will be allowed to kneel to me, but it seems most of you are destined for the headsman's block first.

At least we agree on one point, dear Stannis.

I think everyone here but those too enamoured by their gold to admit it can agree that the Lannisters are a scourge which must be removed from the realm. Letting power hungry men and women like this--products of incest, murderers and adulterers--sit on the throne is not good for anyone. They have already displayed how little honor they have, and what they will do to a rightful king.

Many years ago, a Stark and a Baratheon rose up in arms to depose a mad tyrant, who unjustly murdered a noble Stark.

History, it seems, repeats itself. There will not be a third time.

So will Robb be bannerman to Stannis, or the other way around? I'm confused.

Either way's better than being bannerman to your whiny little grandson. How's that feel?

I did not realize you had lost your sense of honor uncle. You will let Robb keep "your" kingdom divided. No wonder all of your bannerman followed Renly. It seems like he may have more backbone then you these days.

The first thing you do when the body is diseased, boy, is lop off the tumor. You worry about stitching things back together later.

So much...chaos in the realm. My dear Littlefinger, we must work together to bring stability before the 7 Kingdoms tear themselves apart.

We share a common purpose in that M'Lord, and I would entreat your aid in this cause.

Lord Varys, i fear that we are the only ones here with the future of the REALM in mind. Individual desires for power do nothing but fragment the kingdom as these "kings" forget that their duty is to the throne, regardless of whom is sitting upon it.

If anyone in the realm has some milk of the poppy, I will let them live.
