Dragon's Bane Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The topic pretty much explains my query, I am wondering what the worst decision of the book series was. I am leaving it to you to interpret what you constitute as the worst result (be it just for the chracter who made the decision or globally). Two rules:1. No hindsight bonus! Evaluate the decisions by what the characters knew at that point.*2. No flaming! The moment there are 4 or more posts discussing a single decision, just open a new thread to discuss it. * Example: Theon didn't know that Reek was Ramsay and would betray him. Had he known, he obviously would've done something else. My choice: Robb marrying Jeyne. It was quite obvious that this wouldn' have any positive consequences, altough the RW was a bit more than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qhorin Halfhand and Yoren Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Cersei and Jaime fucking each other and Cersei passing on Jaime's children as Robert's. Also included them choosing to fuck near sleeping Robert, and fucking at Winterfell. In short their entire affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Cersei and Jaime fucking each other and Cersei passing on Jaime's children as Robert's. Also included them choosing to fuck near sleeping Robert, and fucking at Winterfell. In short their entire affair. You know, I think you got it. Robb didn't know Theon would turn on him and Ned didn't know and couldn't know that Robert would be gored by a boar. But the Jaime/Cersei thing was never, ever, ever going to end well. Ever.

Faint Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 If we take hindsight out of the equation, then Robb marrying Jeyne easily bests Jaime and Cersei's affair. The latter remained hidden for almost two decades and might have continued so if not for an unfortunate series of events as well as interested parties wanting it exposed. There was no hiding Robb's blunder; the consequences were immediate and unavoidable. If I were to choose one of Cersei's decisions, stiffing the Iron Bank and rearming the Faith would probably top the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelle Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm going to go back before Robert's Rebellion and say the whole Rhaegar/Lyanna debacle. Whether she was kidnapped or went willingly, someone had to realize that maybe it wasn't such a bright idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iridescence Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd have said Robb marrying Jeyne Westerling but I think Cersei refusing to repay the Iron Bank and thinking they won't care when later we find out that they're known to start wars to recover their debts tops it (Her thinking that militarizing the faith is no big deal is right up there too.)

Gneisenau Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dany deciding to burn the slave traders and go on her campaign in Meereen. Should have just stuck to the original plan of just making a detour to purchase slaves to bolster her army that will invade Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystalis Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Most of Robert's decisions. Him marrying Cersei beats all of them though. He was a drunk fool and a negligent father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thorrand Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ned trusting Littlefinger against his best judgement. Is that a hindsight issue? I'm thinking not because he had to know it was a bad idea while agreeing to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Whores Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ned trusting Littlefinger against his best judgement. Is that a hindsight issue? I'm thinking not because he had to know it was a bad idea while agreeing to do it. He did know it wasn't a good idea, and he knew he shouldn't trust Littlefinger, but at that point he pretty much had no other options, since he had so few men and turned down Renly's offer.
