Game of Thrones [SPOILERS]

[Teleku]

Yeah, I'm assuming everybody got 4 picks, which means he's done.  While his the roster is pretty bleak, he got "The Old Gods", and depending on how the story turns, that could be wildly successful in terms of kills.  

Its a fun distraction and not serious, but I sort of wish they had just stuck to specific characters and avoided the general ones, like "While Walkers" or "Dragons".  I mean, the White Walkers can potentially kill thousands of people this season if shit goes south, and one of the dragons may just burn a whole city and/or army to cinder.  How the hell do you score that?

But regardless, the league will add some extra comedy to the thread as we watch this season.

[Chimpy]

Ahh I thought there was another round worth of picks.

[Merusk]

My biggest question is; do peasants count as red shirts, or just Unsullied/ guards. Because the Sons of the Harpy could have been a very strong pick based on that alone.

Oh; point assignment was asked about earlier. Since GoT is one of the sponsored shows, Fantasizr will assign points so no bitching at Viin about it.

Bolded bit is why they were my first pick.

Good to hear that the scoring is automatic!

[Teleku]

Well, the one way that might come back against you is if they decide to only count specific one on one kills.  Like, I can easily see a scene where there's just some guards standing picket outside, hear a noise, and get hilariously killed by white walkers as they storm the city.  Next scene later you see that they slaughtered the city, but you only get points for two red shirt kills because everything else happened off screen.  As I recall (it's been awhile), that's how the slaughter on the Fist of the First Men went as well.  Didn't actually show much killing on screen.

Still a very strong pick regardless though, haha.

Edit:  Also, for auto drafting your last pick, The High Sparrow is not a bad throw away.  He has potential for mayhem this season.

Also, now that I am no longer drunk at 2 AM, changed my team name to the slightly more creative "Gods Perfect Hodor".  Also changed my name to Teleku in league.  If any of you are interested, at the very top right of the page, you should see your name (and facebook portrait if you used that to sign up).  If you hover your mouse over it, a drop down menu with the option for settings will appear.  Under settings, you can edit your name as it appears in the league, if you don't wish to give away your real life name to this forum filled with stalkers and psychopaths.  

[Abagadro]

I was leery of the special team picks because they had an asterisk but it never had an explanation of it. They also warned you off of having more than one. There have to be special scoring rules for them but I haven't found it.

[Cyrrex]

Sorry all about the Autodraft thing, I swear I had set both it and a different draft order, no idea what happened.  Anyway, karma paid me back nicely, as I got Allister Thorne as my best pick....dude never fights, made a vow not to have sex, and is usually only the butt of witty comments.

There are points for sackig cities too, so I'm not worried.

[Viin]

For having 14th place I did ok with Baelish, but Sansa is a little iffy. Likely to be on screen but not many points.

2nd and 3rd picks are Sam (could be amazing or horribly bad) and Missandei, who I just want to see naked.

[Chimpy]

I forgot that Theon already escaped Ramsay when I ranked him so high. He would have gotten me a ton of points for watching people having sex in previous seasons :(

[rattran]

Not many points for anyone that episode. Old tits negate young tits even for the Red Woman.

[Merusk]

Woo big B.  

.

[Threash]

The most important kill on this episode was my boner.

[Bzalthek]

Every time I see this thread updated I keep thinking there is actual GoT discussion going on.

[Special J]

The most important kill on this episode was my boner.

 

[Chimpy]

I scored points for that last scene.

And I am not celebrating.

[Rendakor]

Is it me or are the points not updated on the site yet?

I got fuckall; maybe a few Wit points for Ramsey but that's about it.

[Chimpy]

I would guess that the person who is calculating the points need to re-watch the show to make sure they got everything. Plus, I am not sure it has aired everywhere yet?

[Rendakor]

Ok, just making sure.

[Merusk]

Every time I see this thread updated I keep thinking there is actual GoT discussion going on.

I was waiting for actual discussion until after it's aired on the West coast. Plus the episode was a little slow, lots of set-up. The biggest thing to happen was my spoiler above and even THAT was just set-up.

[Setanta]

With all the buildup of Dorne in the books and the Martells... that was it?

I bought maybe 1/3 of the script and the rest was pretty much filler.

[Teleku]

Yeah, that part with the prince was a bit jarring.  As far as I knew, he went back with them on the ship to kings landing.  So... they magically teleported there and walked onto the ship without any issues somehow.

[Slayerik]

Bronn, Varys, Grey Worm, and Rickon Stark.

I lose.

[Teleku]

Those are all actually pretty good contenders for body count points, except Varys (though if he does kill somebody, the potential is be a big point earner).  And then, you get points for witty comments, so he should be good there.

Well, also requires Rickon to return this season, heh.

[Slayerik]

Yeah Bronn has potential for just about anything...Grey Worm can maybe give some oral to hottie...They are still alive right? IDK even know who Rickon is...lol

[Teleku]

Oh, and points have updated.  Though its only the overall score, and the break down of what you got the points for isn't filled in yet, oddly.  ‘All Dies must Men’ and ‘A Feast for Chimps’ in the lead with 55 points each!

'Kahl Drogo's Vacant Stare' in last place with -10.   

[Mithas]

I just need Jon Snow to hurry up and get alive so I can actually score some points. 

[Rendakor]

They have breakdowns of points in the Stats tab for each individual character, they just don't show up on your team. I wonder if we'll get anything more specific than that.

[Merusk]

They're updating over time. I just checked and had a breakdown for all my teams. As expected Brienne was all my points.  They haven't updated the Martells as far as I can see.

Wife took the lead in our league. She took all the sand snakes and elllaria. Damnit.

[Viin]

Takes awhile for the points to come in:

1.    All Dies must Men                        55
2.    A Feast for Chimps                      55
3.    Coming, Winter Is                       45
4.    Traitors always prosper                38
5.    A Team of Sleet and Mild Heat     15

Everyone else has 5 pts or less (or even LESS).

The person running the scoring has a blog post that goes over her scoring:

[Chimpy]

Oh man, I got a -5 for looks on Mellisandre!

Not that I should complain as she got me 45 points total.
