Death of the Stag - ASOIAF Game - Sign Up and OOC Thread

[leonardothered]

I'll take Dany

Got here A BIT late lol

[leonardothered]

I'm curious as to where she is at this point considering her storyline in the books isn't quite parallel in terms of timeline iirc

[leonardothered]

I can take the spot if you view it as being more central Dkrol. Up to you

[leonardothered]

Hmm I ain't received anything yes : /

[leonardothered]

I'm getting the sense that there are a lot of discussions and negotiations taking place that I'm not being CC'd on. Please remember to CC me on any and all PMs.

Not gonna lie I def missed one in the middle. I'll be more vigilant in future

[leonardothered]

I've rolled the dice. Everyone survives, although one player is significantly injured.

Damn I got too busy this weekend to send anything :/

[leonardothered]

Renly alliance is a bit much...

[leonardothered]

Also if Cersei doesn't have duskendale or rosby, where did that host come from? She has almost as many men as I do lol, and the Riverlands are one of the most populated regions in the realm, I'd say second after the reach.

[leonardothered]

Its more Tywin than Renly, he would under no circumstances allow Renly or Stannis to live. His grandchildren would never be safe

[leonardothered]

Yeah but the 10000 was what she started with, and she ha none in the canon, just 300 Lannister guardsmen. It's kind of a huge issue for her and Tyrion. I'm not saying she gets nothing for game purposes but in hindsight pretty excessive. The 6000 City watch was already increased from 2000 to that number at strained capacity

Id also add, who raised and leads them? There are no notable knights or lords left in King's Landing to have done so. I'm not saying to take them away now, but this is about to become a complete beat down XD

[leonardothered]

I really don't have issue with the alliances, but there is one certain sticking point: Tywin would never, ever allow Renly and Stannis to survive. I don't know what that means going forward, but a peace like this kind of ruins momentum and impetus for him to murder him down the line. Imagine how more elaborate this takedown will become rather than just having him branded a traitor and being done with it, I mean he's completely cornered and they can bring the Tyrell navy and just wait him out; massively OOC to not take this opportunity to take out one of the biggest threats to his line's reign; a young capable, likable adult male claimant who will certainly be fathering children soon, on Margaery Tyrell, long before his own match will be capable and therefore tarnishing his own alliance.

TLDR: It's not out of character for Renly, but completely out of character for Tywin. Can't imagine a scenario where he would allow this.

Up to your discretion but I would tend toward changing less than more, considering we don't know what's going on in people's skulls. I don't think anyone foresaw this occurring which is arguably the point of these what if scenarios. I'm fine with playing through, considering this was a pick up and play character for me anyways.

Getting back to the game, I have some PMs that need answering

[leonardothered]

I'm pretty solid on my orders, just waiting for player PMs to come in.

[leonardothered]

Im gonna go head and put mine in, might be so some changes down the line

[leonardothered]

Orders are in.

[leonardothered]

I have gone through and processed all the PMs I've received.

Wow. Interesting turn. I think some players failed to communicate with each other, which has led to some potentially serious complications. I will roll the dice and write up as soon as I can.

Not for lack of effort lol

[leonardothered]

I have not watched a single episode of Game of Thrones, the HBO show

Lucky man. The Gods know how many hours I ultimately wasted there.

Balon Greyjoy, please.

The show was great for so long though. Just sucks about the ending.

[leonardothered]

This was probably better suited as a PM.

You never said the Vale was with us. You sent me what you said we're your orders, it was like 6 sentences. You sent your heir AND THEON to Bolton. Lollerskates

Your entire first move was to do nothing, the Lannisters invaded and you left all of your combat to NPCs.

I assumed Lysa wasn't going to join us because I was told she wasn't at all likely(and canon), and was given GM assurance of Bronze Yohns backing.

The speech was to make sure no one murdered Edmure after and during the coup. In hindsight I should have just done the coup and then asked for clemency from the lords afterwards but hindsight 20/20.

Your strategy for the Riverlands was "don't do anything and just wait to be molested by Lannisters and their allies"

Fat chance ser, fat chance.

[leonardothered]

You sent me your orders after id already sent orders ffs

You made major mistakes the first turn due to inaction. I made major mistakes this turn due to overzealousness this turn, and due to shoddy communication. Let's just call it even and continue

[leonardothered]

Martell IS Dorne

[leonardothered]

Yeah I was just bein catty

[leonardothered]

I'm gonna go ahead and say we need an alternative solution or get a bit more aggressive with recruitment at this crucial stage
