The Iron Throne, the V ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread) (Turn Open)

[leonardothered]

From what I can see there are many options on the table;

Highest odds are those going to war. This means Viserys, Asha, and Drogo. It can also mean Davos, High Septon, Catelyn, Tyrion and almost assuredly Mace Tyrell.

Then you have assassinations which include the rest of us lol.

I give Mace 90%; Tyrion 60%, Viserys 35% and Catelyn 25%.

[Swedge]

Yeah now that I think about it, I highly doubt I'll be dying this turn.

[Lumine]

Mace Tyrell is counted as NPC whether he dies or lives, so it's four current players.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I feel like there are four possible scenarios here:

Option 1) Roose switched sides and had Ramsay attack Winterfell like in canon and kill Catelyn and her two remaining sons, and/or some combination of the following died in battle: Roose, Asha, Tyrion, Khal Drogo, Viserys, and Davos.  Alternatively, Khal Drogo could've led his horde north which would obviously be bad for me  Another interesting possibility is that the Dothraki may've gone West and attacked the Lannisters while they're distracted by the Iron Born.

Option 2) Khal Drogo attacked KL and some combination of Viserys, Khal Drogo, Davos, and the High Sparrow are dead along with either Tyrion or Asha.  If Doran is in KL, team Targ could theoretically have been wiped out in one battle, but this seems highly unlikely.  

Option 3) A bunch of random battles all happened to have high death counts

Option 4) The Dothraki got to KL and Viserys went Full Mad King and detonated a city-wide suicide bomb.

Btw, I feel like this is like the third turn in a row where 3-4 players died

Option 5: your agents in KL ordered my assassination and some pthers

[Swedge]

Well I'd consider Edric my "last life" but I'd be willing to come back as someone else if I happen to perish.

Well, in this game when you are paranoid you are quite realist

Only if you're being properly paranoid  There's literally no upside to me assassinating you and all due respect, the High Sparrow and his 6,000 cultists are not at the top of my in-game priority list at the moment.

Edit: Congrats, Windjammer (I assume)...err...wait a minute...you're dead too

[leonardothered]

I imagine Lord Royce is the next logical option.

In hindsight it should have seemed likely that attacking King's Landing would occur by the Dothraki; it was one of the few big targets left to raid and was within reach...

For the record I didn't kill you lol

It's okay either way.  While I'm obviously curious who did (definitely you or LeonardotheRed), I don't really care one way or the other

Cue OOC therefore not useable in-game evil gloating: I know, that's why I suggested it

[windjammer]

I know it's okay but I just tell you for your curiosity that is not me. I'm dead now so I have no reason for lying
So,
Me, X and Gotfan are dead. Who is the fourth?

The end of turn usually comes in two parts.

[leonardothered]

And why would you assume myself? We Dornish have so few friends outside our sands... Those not already dead at least

[windjammer]

By the way, if in any way Cersei would be available to play. I would glzdly take this character if that is possible

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

And why would you assume myself? We Dornish have so few friends outside our sands... Those not already dead at least

You alluded to assassinations shortly before the end of the turn, if anyone has an assassination related special ability then it'd have to be Doran, and I just got the attempted Lannister-Targ alliance blocked (which you seemed more invested in than anyone else)

By the way, if in any way Cersei would be available to play. I would glzdly take this character if that is possible

I mean, if we can play as characters who presently have limited gameplay, dibs on Ramsay

I don't bring grudges into the game, I'm pretty faithful to that self rule. I'm also very committed to this Doran playstyle which suits myself and the game well I reckon

I was mostly just baffled because I had done nearly the same thing and with far better current circumstances than the current Lannisters.

Neither do I, that wasn't the main reason I think you had me assassinated though.  Regarding the other game, Westeros was being attacked by an undead army in that game; normal rules don't apply in that sort of situation

[DKrol]

Wow, guess I won this round.

[leonardothered]

True, but I allied with Stannis a good while before it was pertinent. As I saw it Tyrion was in a situation without allies, and had no chance of getting them with Tommen as a claimant. This would lead to the inevitable death of himself and his family statistically, and therefore he needed to change variables. At no point was Tommen for king not an option, but a temporary alliance a must to keep Tommen and Myrcella alive and not shamed as abominations forever

[leonardothered]

Wow, guess I won this round.

I reckon so. Thankfully most of my people and valuable hostages had left but killing off two players in one swoop is pretty big.

Now to arrange a suitable gift for the khal in exchange for Tyene Sand... Dornish horses are prized for their endurance throughout the realm

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Is Euron still alive, by any chance?  I'm trying to figure out who the remaining canon antagonists are

Hasn't made an appearance yet. A couple of Essosi as well
