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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. :)
  4. 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.

Group 1:


1. Azor Ahai


2. Nissa Nissa


3. Lyanna Silverwing Lyanna




Group 2:


1. Dunk Arthur Dayne Dunk


2. Egg Ashara Dayne Egg


3. Rhaegar Alysanne Targaryen Rhaegar




The problem here is that Lyanna, Rhaegar, Dunk, and Egg are all top 5 players.



sigh



edit: I feel like I am sure I'll find one from Nissa Nissa/Azor Ahai. As for Alysanne or her dragon Silverwing, it's unlikely they are one (well, Silverwing is very unlikely, I think Alysanne is a good shot for farther up the list... I just don't think they are considered a pair. But they are fine to put into the third slot in my lists.)



My real problem is the I haven't read TPatQ. I bet the other pair is from there. I put Arthur and Ashara, but no way they are this low either (not to mention they are not thought of as a "pair".) I am going to keep an eye on other's entries and probably steal from them.



Or I could be talking out my ass... who knows.




editX2 - I went back to established "pairs". Cheese and crackers!

Huh...I don't have a single clue :( but fortunately I cannot loose my points.

one of them could be a dragon

1. Vhagar
2. Balerion
3. Sunfyre Lyanna

the other...I don't know. Maybe another dragon, or, maybe not.

1. Ashara Dayne (for the mob)

2. Nissa Nissa (for the mob)
3. Dunk Egg (because if it's one of them, then Egg should be higher or not)
