Game of Thrones [SPOILERS]

[schild]

Haemish has the worst team in the history of teams.

[lamaros]

Hmmm my team.

Dany and Littlefinger better come through.

Edit: My team is likely to be set and forget. Who to leave out.... I expect Robin to get killed at some point..

[MahrinSkel]

Dying memorably is worth points, and I expect his future contains a very long and ironic fall. I've got one I expect to die, but it probably won't be special when she does.

The 8 man seems to suggest we have to pick all bar one of the drafted characters as an ep1 lineup?

[Teleku]

Yeah.  That is what Merusk said he did, so I mirrored.  Gives you a little room to play with your team, especially if somebody checks out early.

Edit:  Also, dang, I thought I'd set my draft rankings better than that.....

Your team has Ch'ildish Gambino, you'll be fine.

[Merusk]

Yep that's the case. There was going to be at least one extra character (my small league is Royce) and being able to swap a dead player for someone who might still earn points gives a little more game to things.

I wound-up with Brienne, Podrick, Olenna, Baelish and Tyrion. Realizing I lucked into the #2 draft spot was going to get me Tyrion but it seems odd I got Petyr and Brienne as well. Olenna and Podrick will be wildcards at best.  I'm ignoring the 'recurring whore #2' and Sandsnake characters. They're dead picks.

[Shannow]

Let's talk GoT's dragon problem . I'm all for ice dragons fighting Dany's.

[schild]

what the fuck

[HaemishM]

That fat fucker is just trolling now.

[Khaldun]

I bet he's telling the truth.

Because with winter here, everyone who dies is going to rise again as an ice zombie.

[naum]

what the fuck

I think that's a parody account, & not real GRRM. (There are a bunch of fake GRRM accounts).

I don't think he does Twitter & reserve publishing his musings on his livejournal blog.

[Merusk]

I don't think he even does his livejournal, but his wife does. It used to say the name of whichever of them was actually posting, but it doesn't anymore.  His posts were always 2-3 months between, and when I just looked there's been at least 2-3 posts a week.

[Viin]

Sorry guys, Arya is gonna clean up this season.

[Chimpy]

DAT Opening Scene

[Bzalthek]

The North Remembers!

[Bunk]

Do I get points for every bowl of sludge that appeared in each of those repeating Sam scenes?

[MediumHigh]

I guess we're not getting any boobs this season

I like how Jaime is all like "welp its game over man" and Cersei is like "nah fam we empire!!!"

Boy came a long way from season 1.

[schild]

did what the mountain did count as a witty one-liner? asking for a friend

[Samwise]

I called the opening scene as soon as Frey opened his mouth.  Up till then I thought maybe it was a flashback, but somehow the way he spoke gave the game away.  Brilliant acting.

[Merusk]

Yah, as soon as I realized it wasn't a flashback I knew it was Arya. Watched with friends and one of them almost vomited during that Oldtown scene. I wasn't far behind in terms of just being unable to watch.

As for scoring, it depends on the whims of the person who created the game. We're all tied to the points she allocates. Last season had some questionable scores at times.

[Shannow]

Do you get points for best one liner? Sansa wins this episode.

[Merusk]

Did she? It was a great shut-down but Eurion had several very good lines as he was cutting Jamie down. *TWO* good hands; Consider killing your brother; It was getting crowded.

Fortunately, everyone gets points for those. I think Eurion gets Brutal for the good hand comment and two funny. Sansa definitely should get a brutal. There was a lot of exposition this episode, so lots of wit points to be had.

Wits/Schemes:
5 Funny One-Liner

10 Brutal One-Liner

5 Speech About Winter/Violence/The Past

[schild]

In the league where I have 5 characters (Night King is barely a "character"), I got ZERO points that episode.

Zero.

Saw it coming a mile away too, lol.



First time in GOT history that neither Varys nor Tyrion opened their GODDAMN MOUTHS.

[Threash]

I don't even know who the fuck koner is.

[schild]

I don't even know who the fuck koner is.

New character. I've considered replacing Yohn with him. Probably won't though.

[MahrinSkel]

My team is entirely carried by Arya, but she's cleaning up: 50 for the massacre, 50 for wearing Walter's face (magic), 10 for one liners and 5 for food. The rest of my team didn't even show in the episode.

--Dave

[schild]

I assume the one liners were "The North Remembers" and "I'm going to kill the queen."

I wish they'd break down some of the points that aren't obvious.

[MediumHigh]

Its almost as if they've run out of material.

[Merusk]

She usually does a blog update that explains the scoring if you want to go hunting for it.  The Arya lines were probably The North Remembers/ Winter came, and the one about making sure to kill all the wolves.

[Chimpy]

I am crushing all you mothafuckas after episode 1 in Merusk's small league.

And only two of my peeps even shows up on screen apparently.

[Merusk]

Yah, anyone who had Arya took this week by far. I have her and Eurion in my public league. I'm at 130 points, 3x higher than the next closest person.

No action at all this week in the small league. Boo.

[Shannow]

Pity she didn't kill that red-headed Lannister soldier. I would've fucking stood up and clapped at that.

[Viin]

Bummer about the -25 for Samwell!

Sooo, who's ready to put some money in for the big league? 

[HaemishM]

The fuck? Alys Karstark got me more points than anyone in the main league and I'm 2nd. That won't last.
