Speaking of sucker punchs, I just discovered that the old EG registry is gone. 30+ pages of Forum games archives are gone and it seems the old registry went in the purge. I knew that the mods cleaned out the archives from time to time but I've never seen them drop more than 10 pages before.

My feelings are mixed. I wanted to have the EG history preserved, but not a burning desire to do it. So I was procrastinating. I'm a bit sad and a bit relieved.

:o . That is really sad .

Any of the major events, I don't really consider badass. To me a characters action would be closer to a badass moment, like:



Victarion tossing his maester overboard


Grey Wind biting off GreatJon's finger


Catelyn stopping Valyrian Steel with her bare hands


Danaerys burning the Astapor slave masters

I agree that some of those aren't considered badasses in my point of view. Tyrion's murder of Tywin and Shae was out of desperation and anger, just like Renly's murder, for instance. We can save those along with Stannis' fleet or Quentyn for example, for a future EG of "outstanding moments". Just my suggestion.

I'd like to suggest

Barristan the Badass quitting like a boss

When Drogon arrives at Daznak's Pit and Daenerys flying on him.

will add the first one, the second is there as Dany flying on Drogon for the first time.

Some of those (like the Red Wedding, killing Hugh of the Vale, cuttinf off Jamie's hand) are nothing that I would call "badass".

OK, you're right, I'll take those out.

I took out the things that fell into the event class and left in the individual moments.,

Will add those 4.
