Arya kiddin' Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 11th installment of ASOIAF Guessing game - Most Favorite Historic Character. :) Firstly let's have a look at the results of the previous games. Most Loved Character: Arya Stark Most Hated Character: Ramsay Snow Sexiest Character: Jaime Lannister (male) / Arianne Martell (female) Most Badass Character: Asha Greyjoy Funniest Character: Dolorous Edd Tollet Best Death: Ned Stark Best Actor/Actress: Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister Character You Most Want to Survive: Arya Stark Most Dangerous Character: Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish Most Favorite Minor Character: Sandor CleganeLink to previous game hosted by Evermind This game is about historic characters, which we take as the characters that lived since the Age of Heroes to the start of A Game of Thrones - right from Brandon the Builder to Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark to the men who died in Pyke during Balon's rebellion. But Waymar Royce or anyone who died after him can not be listed Since not all the players have read the Dunk n Egg novellas, characters exclusively from them will be excluded from the game. However, if some character from DnE is mentioned in the course of five books as well, you can include it in your list. The same holds true for "The Princess and the Queen" as well. For now we're including characters from Dunk and Egg. If a participant has any problem with this inclusion, we will take it down. Same for characters in "The Princess and The Queen" The same holds true for animals - like the dragons Silverwing, Balerion etc. Characters that are taken dead in the books, as per the five books, will be taken as dead, despite any convincing theory you may have seen on the forums. Let's review the rules and regulations of the game. :) #Taken mostly from Captain Falcon and Evermind The game begins by you sending me a list of your favorite 20 historic characters. Send in your lists by 17th February 12:00 AM Indian Standard Time. Let's do a slight change in the ranking process. The character you rank 1 - your absolute favorite character will be given 25 points. After that the characters in the list get 19, 18, 17 points, so on that the character you put down as your no 20 gets 1 point. In every round you'll be given a hint to identify the character. You can either gamble on a character to obtain 5 points for a correct guess, or you can give three choices in order - and for the correct one you'll be getting three, two or one points respectively. We expect each round to last about 48 hours. :) You can join in the guessing anytime, doesn't matter if you sent the list on or not. And if you sent it, you don't have to guess if you don't want to, it's totally fine. If I forgot something, let me know, and if you have some objections, write it down here. Before the game begins, I'll be posting honorable mentions on the first day, after which the game will commence. Status: Submissions have ended. Round 10 Begins.

Turinqui-Calima Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Quick question - How are we treating people who are assumed dead but theorized to be alive? Obviously I assume you have no idea who I'm referring to. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya kiddin' Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I hope we can all reach a consensus that "Brynden Rivers" aka "Bloodraven" can't be included in any list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Lord's Daughter Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Can anyone play? And can we add Dunk (was mentioned in ASOS)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya kiddin' Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok. That's what I was wondering because I had an alias of his on my list. No Maynard Plumm for you. :lol: Can anyone play? And can we add Dunk (was mentioned in ASOS)? Of course anyone can play. :) And it desn't matter where a character is mentioned, I mean that is a necessity for us to know of them in the first place. :idea: As long as the character died before AGOT, you can name them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I assume you have no idea who I'm referring to. :lol: I agree with you. I mean that we know that Arthur Dayne is alive but we have to assume that he is not. :P I am in! That will be maybe my fave game. Working on my list which is so difficult. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
