After The False Spring, the III ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Fingerbones playing Dany had like zero posts and messaged away like anything. weird

 

Yeah, but I  think Dave changed the rules after some psycho made like 50 socks and started PM-spamming people with pornography.

[Garlan Gunter]

Your inbox is full Elmo apparently (again strange, I have 150 messages and mine isn't full) - I suspect all is not well

[Emmon Frey]

Only had the one message in there from badgate but I deleted that to see if anything changed. No good.

Maybe my account was deactivated or something? On account of me making zero posts since creating it and not really logging in?

[badgate]

Elmo, start a thread about your issue in this sub forum and the mods will see if there's an issue with your account or tell you what the post limit is for private messaging https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?board=7.0

I'll take Robert, though I agree he is under Jon Arryn's control atm in the Vale. If that's the case I'll take Jon Arryn

[badgate]

Robert will start the game in the Vale, as will Ned, but you could certainly attempt to leave in turn 1.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I'd think we probably need either Ned or Robert to start though.

While Ned isn't available, we do need Rickard Stark to start. I gave Antonio until 430p Central US time to let me know if he still wants to play as him, but if I haven't heard from him by then the character is open to other sign ups.

[badgate]

Rickard Stark is now available for anyone who'd still like to sign up! As is Robert Baratheon.

I'll let everyone know when the first turn will begin this evening.

D'oh that's what I meant

[Enduro]

I'll do Rickard Stark.
But first, what's a UA?

[DKrol]

Unique ability. It's something limited to your character to give them something special in battle.

Thank you, in hindsight that was obvious.

[Enduro]

What happens if my character dies? Do I watch the game go on? Do I become Eddard or Rickard's first born whose name escapes me right now? What if those guys are dead when I die? Do I become Benjen? Even if he's already a watchman? What if every one in my house is dead when I die? Do I become Catelyn Tully? If I control someone else and die as that person do I get a third chance to play?

If you can't tell this is my first time playing.

Naturally this is up to Mr. X and Badgate, but during the first two games the ideas was that after dead the suitable relative would take up the position formerly held by the player (as in, Rickard dies, Brandon takes over) and the player would be given the chance to return as that character or a different one if a spot is openened (in this case, choosing not to play Brandon but play someone else instead), this process repeated regardless of the amounts of deaths (and I'm sure there are players who had to die twice).

So in that sense, I would think the rules to be similar.

[DKrol]

I went through several characters in the last ASOIAF game because Lumine killed everyone I loved.

[badgate]

The rules are the same as our previous board games, so everything Lumine said is correct. In fact X and I have a second list of playable characters in the case of deaths as well as other game events we have planned.

Woah, wait a minute there, I'm not to blame if the players are over enthusiastic in trying to kill each other (and you did commit suicide once, xD)

I meant to include a winky face at the end of that.

Badgate, what are we looking at for a start date for this?

In fairness, I didn't kill him so much as re-animate him

[Dereich]

I feel slightly ashamed that I never actually managed to kill you, though I hope I get some credit for sending one of your characters to the Wall and making another commit suicide.

[Spamage]

I'd love to be Robert Baratheon

Wish I'd seen this sooner!

[badgate]

Amazing, we now have a full house!

I will post turn 1 on Sunday 12/12 evening.

[badgate]

If you are interested in signing up despite the current list of characters being full, post in the thread and I will go ahead and post the secondary list of playable characters.

[Emmon Frey]

Ooo, full cast. Jolly good.

When Garlan first told me about this I thought playing as a member of the Kingsguard -- Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, perhaps -- would be fun. I'm curious to see how Aerys (and Rhaegar) deploys these men in the weeks ahead.

Edit: 20 is the magic number re: personal messages. I'm good to go on that front.
