unSonofStannis Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Lol, overrated? Renly would have killed Stannis if not for Mel.And don't worry Mel will abandon Stannis for Jon or Dany when she figures out he's not AA.I know, I said "and the shadowbaby" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ServantOnIce Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 BEST (at the time): Jon Arryn being made Hand of the KingRobert marrying Cersei of House LannisterEddard being made Hand of the KingLady Lysa staying out of the War of the Five KingsQhorin Halfhand telling Jon Snow to kill him and join the WildlingsJon and Stannis agreeing to bring The Wildlings into the realmSam rigging the Lord Commander vote to get Jon in charge.Dany sacking Astapor and freeing the Unsullied and all slavesDany staying in Mereen rather than abandoning Slaver's BayThe Vale Clans accepting Tyrion's offer (Shagga like Axes)Doran sending Quentyn on a covert mission to meet and treat with DaenarysRobert making Ser Grandfather head of his KingsguardEuron killing Balon and assuming leadership of the IronbornRobb's marriage pact with Walder FreyRobb seeking an alliance with RenlyDany hatching the dragonsMarriage pact between Tyrells and Lannisters WORST: Robb breaking his marriage pact to Walder FreyVolantis not supporting Daenarys but supporting the SlaversDany NOT sacking Yunkai (huge mistake)Dany NOT wiping out the leaders in MereenDany NOT keeping an account of her dragons as they got bigger (little girl eaten, mass destruction)Dany turning down Quentyn and marrying HizdahrRobb allowing himself to become, "King of the North and Riverlands" HUGE MISTAKE!!Eddard telling CerseiSansa telling CerseiJoffrey executing Eddard (Bing me his head!)The Ships committing too early in the Battle of the Blackwater (TV show Davos made the error, in the books someone else).Roose and Ramsay making a play for the NorthThe Red Wedding Elia and her kids being slainVictarion rejecting Asha's offer before the KingsmootKing Robert not killing all the Greyjoys and not permanently crippling the Iron Born (he left them too much strength)All of Cersei's decisions in AFFCJoffrey not marrying Sansa and not treating her right.

BlueCichlid Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Best: Jon Snow joining the Night's Watch (for everyone except Jon Snow). Worst: Tywin humiliating Tyrion after the battle of blackwater (and every other time), and allowing him to be framed for killing Joffrey. Before that, the Lannisters had it in the bag. They had Casterly Rock, and the throne under firm control, and if Tyrion had gone with the family plan and knocked up Sansa they would have had a good claim on the North and potentially the Riverlands if they killed off Roslin and her child. Instead Twyin got killed and crazy-Cersei was left in charge and it all went down the creek. I'm not counting any of the decisions made by Starks, 'cause that's just shooting fish in a barrel.

Lee-Sensei Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Best: The Red Wedding- Walder had to do this because Robb dishonored him and was going back home leaving him to the mercy of the gigantic armies of the Lannisters and Tyrells. The Purple Wedding- The Tyrells didnt have a choice here they needed a King they could control, Joeffrey wasnt it. Stannis making Davos his Hand Stannis not bringing Mel along in his fight for the North Victarion going to Mereen- I believe Euron wouldve eventually had him killed if he refused his orders Worst: Rhoyce not overthrowing Lysa during the war Everything Robb did off the battlefield except making the alliance and marriage contract with the Freys Stannis not sailing for KL when Robert died Stannis not marching on Tywin at Harrenhal before attacking KL I don't think that was a bad decision as Lysa was the regent to their liegelord and without the approval of House Arryn, the Knights of the Vale have no business fighting someone elses war.

Heidrun Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 BEST Daenerys becoming leader of her small khalasar and looking out for them Bronn taking a chance to defend a convicted Tyrion Tyrion's strategy at the Bay of Blackwater Jon's defense of the Night's Watch Arya fleeing King's Landing so that she wouldn't end up a hostage Sansa being quiet and polite during her time at KL. Fly below the radar! Tyrells offing Joff when they get the chance WORST Danenerys thinking that freeing all the slaves overnight won't create chaos. Stannis and Renly NOT joining forces after Robert's death Robb marrying another girl Theon choosing his family over the Starks (I understand why he did it, it was just a bad decision in the long run) Theon taking Winterfell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 WORST Danenerys thinking that freeing all the slaves overnight won't create chaos.I'm sorry but freeing slaves is just never a bad decision, regardless of how hard things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy the Ruin Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 GoodLysa staying out of the war: I acknowledge it was smart for her and SR, but I still hate her with a passion for it and she betrayed her family. She deserved way worse than what she gotJon going to the Wall: likely saved his life and could possibly have kept him alive so he can sit the throneBadFather/Son naïveté- Ned and RobbRenly rebelling against StannisStannis not making his claim until he had almost no possible allies.Stannis not marching to stop Tywin in the RL prior to the WOTFK. Had he done so he likely would have had their support.Every plan a Greyjoy aside from Asha has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidrun Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'm sorry but freeing slaves is just never a bad decision, regardless of how hard things are. Not so much that she freed the slaves but rather she had absolutely no clue what was going to happen afterward and had she gone about it a different way (not saying that I have a better idea), she may have avoided some of the chaos, social and economic problems that followed.

Smokefall Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Catelyn taking Tyrion, kickstarting the warCatelyn letting Jaime go, severely reducing Robb's chances to win said warOberyn letting his desire for retribution snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Jon's post-Pink Letter u-turnTo be fair, these occurred in contexts where 'decision making' was emotionally compromised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 GoodLysa staying out of the war: I acknowledge it was smart for her and SRYou can pretty strongly debate that. Allowing House Stark and House Tully to be defeated in war leaves House Arryn geopolitically isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullen Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 BadRenly rebelling against Stannis Renly rebelled against Joff, not Stannis. And I'd put that in the "Best Decisions" too, if not for the shadow baby, he'd have the Throne and the Realm would be back in peace.

Sweetgirl205 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Good: Jamie deciding to save Brianne. I have a feeling he is going to be really glad he did that in the end.Bad: Ned not following Renley's advice on Robert's death. Of course, if he had, tgd story would not have been as interesting.

John Suburbs Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yes, Doran was supposed to be in the good decision group, not the bad. I also forgot to mention one more: Quentyn's decision to steal himself a dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Howland Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Best: Dany buying all the Unsullied and then sacking Astapor. In one move she went from a beggar queen with baby dragons to a regional power. Worst: Cat arresting Tyrion with no hard evidence. She started a war while most of her family was at KL and before Robb could call the banners. Remember, because of its size, it takes the North much longer to call the banners than any other region.

Graven Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Good: Jon saving the wildlings, reduced the potential undead army and added numbers to the living side. Bad: the life of Theon Greyjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Kraken Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Bad Decisions: Robb betraying Walder Frey Dany Marrying the slaver Dany locking up her dragons Good Decisions: Selmy fleeing to Dany Robb calling the banners Dany running out to Drogon and taking off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
