NEW ASOIAF EG VOTING THREAD

[honeyed chicken]

There are lots of awesome topics in the other thread, but after playing "Who will sit the IT", I would like to play "Who do you want to sit the IT" next, for comparison.

I love you. Unreservedly.

On a serious note :) :

that was my intention when I cooked up the idea (that the two would either play concurrently or back to back), but do you think the rest of the gang will go along? I would be so happy if they did . . .

Words & phrases - think hard Lyanna! :D I agree this would be a fun one. But it was harder to remember of them than I had expected. (oops I just remembered one that HAS to be there. "you know nothing, Jon Snow")

[Lyanna<3Rhaegar]

bump I know the final 5 can take awhile but any ideas what you wanna play mext?

[PancakeMountainThatRides]

- words and phrases has a new name (as well as 5 new entries) "Words & phrases of ASOIAF you mistakenly say while out among the Unsullied." Surely we've all said "it is known" or "the night is dark and full of terror"? Anyway. I'm not sure I'll make it to 30 with this one by next time, but if some angel decides to help, maybe we will. :)

I don't know about everyone else, but I say "Winter is coming," "words are wind," "oh, sweet summer child," and "the things I do for love" like... a lot. lol

HC added a list to the ideas thread. These are all included :)

I would love to play this for our next game btw!

[honeyed chicken]

Me too.

But as I said earlier, I would also second Yomi's idea to follow up Who do you think will sit the IT with Who do you want to sit the IT.

[King Tyrion I]

Oh, I see battles ahead - between Stannis supporters and those of other Houses...

That could end badly. "Could" doesn't necessarily mean it'll definitely happen, but it looms a bit on the horizon.

"Words" would be great. As the next game.

[Annara Snow]

Me too.

But as I said earlier, I would also second Yomi's idea to follow up Who do you think will sit the IT with Who do you want to sit the IT.

I think that would feel a bit repetitive, especially as I think some people were already voting for who they wanted in the IT. We could do it, but later.

[Lyanna<3Rhaegar]

Yeah I would love to play who we want to sit the IT at some later date but it would feel repetitive right now.

[honeyed chicken]

That would be fine too. :)

[Lyanna<3Rhaegar]

Down to the final 2 in the previous game. Everyone want to start posting what they vote for the next game to be?

[honeyed chicken]

I've lengthened the words list out to 56 -59 (thanks Kyoshi & Lyanna!) - I think we can get to 60 and have a two stage game if we want or pare down to 30 depending on what people want to do.

eta

great ones from Kyoshi & Lyanna - thanks!! I will add. :)

[Kyoshi]

^^I'd like to suggest:

Syrio: What do we say to death?

Arya: Not today.

[Kyoshi]

Only Cat is also popular.

[Lyanna<3Rhaegar]

^^ Those are both good ones Kyoshi.

I know this sounds horrible but I have said "Edd, fetch me a block" When someone is irritating me :lol:

[King Tyrion I]

Jaime's "There are no men like me. There's only me." or Tywin's "Any man who must say 'I am the king.' is no true king at all."

[yomi]

About number 40: It's "My sun and stars" and "Moon of my life"

[Lyanna<3Rhaegar]

I hope you don't mind HC I edited in a few more

So we have 61. If we wanted we could vote to take 1 off & start the first of 2 rounds :)

ETA: I would vote to remove #47. Soon or Late

[Lord Lyman]

Saw this one missing

"Stick them with the pointy end."

After looking at the lists it looks we have two different games there mashed into one

Favorite general phrase that are sad multiple times and

Favorite quotes, they are probably utter only once.

[yomi]

Oh, "Stick them with the pointy end" should be in. "Fear cuts deeper than swords" as well.

I would take #48 out, on the basis that it is too long.

And "Valar morghulis" - "Valar dohaeris" could probably merged to one voting option.

About the mashing: I thought the topic was "Phrases and Quotes you use in RL"? So does it matter if they are a regular idiom on Planetos or only a sentence that one character thought once?

They topics they've headed it under is favorite words and phrases. I just figured with a list that size, we could easily make two games out of it.
