An upcoming ASOIAF game (Ideas & Suggestions)

[Blair]

I'd like option 2- the big problem imo with Ned seizing power is that Robb will always march south to save Ned (family, duty, honour and all)

You have a point, but Robb was always bound to march south once Tyrion was captured imo. That's what caused Tywin started raiding the Riverlands and Edmure was just too naive/nice/incompetent to handle that without Stark assistance. It might have meant something different if Robert lived and it didn't devolve into all-out war, but I think a Stark military presence was always going to be necessary.

I see positives in both ideas; for option 2 I like giving the city people something to do, but I worry that they'll go from primary players to completely irrelevant ones within a few turns. If you think you can make it work I say go for that one. Otherwise, option one starts broad and right when alliances start needing to be made, good timing. It'd also make the Stormlands relevant for the first time in any game, ever.

I suppot idea 1, but I'm biased because it was largely mine

So, should we post another poll for options 1 or 2 or is there a third option people would like to push?

Well I think as you are the game moderator, this is your choice in the end!

Actually, you're right, xD

Hell, we'll be going with option 1. The game will not start for some time, but the Sign Up & Rules thread will be up tonight, so be prepared (and yes, Windjammer, you can have the Tyrells).

Wouldn't it make more sense that people would blame Renly for killing Joffrey since he never really had Ned's honorable reputation.

Perhaps, perhaps... not everyone will look at the events the same way, and I dare say a lot will depend on the players.

Already trying to lay favorable groundwork for your Ned Stark game? You're starting early.

Also, do not post on the sign-up thread until I'm done posting the material.

Perhaps we could do something after the White Walker invasion? Simulate that war, and human victory, and play as the characters after the war is ended.

*Snip*

*cough* I already did that in The Lion and the Rose and de-populated the entire North and most of the Riverlands before forcing a negotiated ending *cough*
