The Death of Kings, the VI ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread)

[Bacon King]

I'd love to play this if it's still possible?

edit - calling Quellon since he appears to be the only one left

[Bacon King]

Shouldn't have to say this, but again, remember to include me in the PM's!

i'm new go easy on me



(problem fixed )

[Bacon King]

mine will be coming within an hour

[Bacon King]

Hey I just want to apologize re: the orders situation. I'm a bail bondsman so I'm on call all day - and overnight - if someone gets arrested and calls my company for a bail. Business was far more active than usual the entire weekend, the orders took a lot longer to write than i thought. I also have personal stuff/bad news weighing me down a lot right now but I'd prefer not to talk about it publicly

Suffice to say, I'll definitely finish my orders several days in advance from now on!

[Bacon King]

Great POV's! I love the attention to detail to include so much of the canon setting of the books, it really feels like a genuine part of the ASOIAF universe.

[Bacon King]

Also here's a summary of everything learned in the POVs, just making sure I have all my facts straight


- Stannis led an attempted breakout from the besieged Storm's End but died
- King Renly, an injured Cortnay Penrose, and newly knighted Davos and Donal Noye escape
- They seem to be fleeing towards the Kingswood
- Both knights seem to have made it out of Storm's End with all of their appendages intact!



-Rhaella took King's Landing and placed King Viserys on the Iron Throne
-King Aegon and Varys avoided capture and managed to escape
-Tywin Lannister helped Rhaella take/hold King's Landing but then betrayed her
-Lannister forces attempted to capture Rhaella but failed and fled the city after a fierce battle
-Elys Westerling and Willem Darry both fell in the fighting
-Bonifer Hasty saved Rhaella's life and after three decades their true love can finally blossom



-At the Trident, all/most former Baratheon supporters pledge their fealty to Jon Snow King Jaehaerys
-Ned Stark went to the Tower of Joy to retrieve the King and battle there was avoided
-The legendary trio of Gerold Hightower, Arthur Dayne, and Oswell Whent all live.
-They will apparently continue their mission of protecting Jon Snow King Jaehaerys
-Lyanna still dies though
-Ned still broke Ashara's heart but since he didn't kill her brother mayhaps she won't jump off a cliff this time

[Bacon King]

How much longer is this turn? Until the next weekend again?

[Bacon King]

I hope we get an ironborn POV

[Bacon King]

I have to say this game's Quellon is proving far more ruthlessly effective than my attempt at him so far!!

thank you! this is my first attempt at playing one of these games and I'm having so much fun with it

[Bacon King]

Euron Greyjoy promptly declared himself Lord Paramount of the Stormlands

[Bacon King]

I agree, this is very fun

[Bacon King]

When does this turn end, again?

I'm under the impression it's tonight at midnight (?) but I might be wrong on that

[Bacon King]

Let's make it Sunday afternoon, most players are clearly active but seem to require more time for the orders.

Thank you!

[Bacon King]

I'm worried the Ironborn will absolutely suck this turn

In the past I've taken two hours or more to write out detailed and nuanced orders but yesterday this was not the case! I have narcolepsy and a stressful situation Sunday afternoon knocked me out for quite a few hours. I woke up with fifteen minutes before turn-end and so I wrote what I could as fast as I could and churned out my orders in like ten minutes.

Not trying to whine or anything, but if every greyjoy gets completely murdered this turn at least I have an excuse

[Bacon King]

Victarion Greyjoy, at Highgarden

oh no

victarion, my stupid son, no

I didn't tell you to go to Highgarden

what are you even doing there

do you realize how far away you are from where i told you to be

how could you even mess up this badly

[Bacon King]

(definitely voting for Victarion lmao, as well as Marwyn and Tyrion)

[Bacon King]

hahaha wow RIP me

And I can't believe how insanely close I was to capturing the Rock with literally just two lines of orders lmao

If I'd had a chance to thoroughly describe the way I wanted the siege to go, and the contingencies to implement, and what Quellon himself should be doing, then I feel like my character wouldn't be on death's door and the greyjoys would control three seats of the Lord's paramount lmao - that's what I get for waiting to late I guess?


as it is I wouldn't be surprised if Euron dies this turn as well lol

[Bacon King]

Honestly, when we were told Victarion was in Highgarden I was not expecting the murder of Quellon to the be the reason why.

This only makes the remaining 2 POVs even more exciting.

I honestly wasn't even aware Quellon was still in Highgarden! I assumed he'd safely returned to Pyke, given neither his retinue nor his personal longship escorts were listed as being at Highgarden

[Bacon King]

Lumine I've loved this game so far, you've been great at running it and writing it. I'm definitely continuing on as Balon!

I wish you the best and I hope your situation improves. I have depression so I understand the melancholy-induced delay and I think I speak for everyone here when I say to take all the time you need. You have enough on your plate so please don't add more stress on yourself by struggling to meet deadlines for us. Run this game at whatever pace is comfortable for you, take all the time you need, I'm happy enough just being able to play!

Remember we're all ASOIAF fans here. as long as you can post Turn 4 this decade you're still beating our expectations for new content lol

[Bacon King]

haha oh man it was great to work alongside Windjammer and his loss will be felt by our side. I just now realized the new turn is up - when is the deadline?

[Bacon King]

Thanks for the extension I'm working on a state Senate campaign nearly full time so I have so much less free time these days

[Bacon King]

I hate to do this but I just don't have the time at all any more for this game - I tried to make it work but unfortunately it's just not possible. Looks like I have to die as Quellon. good luck to Balon, if he's played by anyone at all
