Annara Snow Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We can do that if you want. It just seems like most of the list would be filler, especially since we only have to get rid of 4 to have 30. We could take out Dunk's horses, so if we could just get rid of 2 more, we'd be fine. I'd vote to get rid of Meleys and Syrax. But since Annara added Syrax, I'd let her make another suggestion. (You can, too, HC. :) I just figured Annara would have a stronger opinion since you said you don't know much about the Dance dragons.) I really don't know who I'd take out other than Rain and Meleys. But I'm not giving up on Syrax. There's something really compelling about the story of a dragon who gets pushed from the brink of sanity by rage and grief at witnessing a brutal massacre of her kin, and dies engaging in acts of brutal vengeful violence with no sense of self-preservation. She's like the Catelyn Stark of dragons. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're mean and eat other dragons. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, if there's only 4 and you can agree which dragons or other critters to leave off, I'll be fine with whatever you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lyman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I see all the debates on dragons, so I've come up with a possible solution. Get rid of Lady? She's the only direwolf whose personality wasn't developed. (Although you could say the same for some of the other animals too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our list is much better than that one, which doesn't contain the dragons other than Dany's. The boar that killed Robert wasn't even seen on-page. ETA: or we could add all those other animals - even though many of them will be filler - to make two lists and choose 15 from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 We should decide. We're stuck on which 2 of 4 dragons to include, right? My suggestion would be that you, Annara get one of the dragons you want and Pancake gets one, then we'll have our 30 and can start the game.

honeyed chicken Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is the last list with some of the discussion.I went through all the comments and boiled them down very crudely. If someone said an animal didn't have much characterization, or they would be willing to leave it off the list I put a minus with the person's initial by the animal's name. If someone said something positive or wanted to have an animal stay, I put a plus with the initial by the animal's name.A few things jump out. While I don't know the dragons from the dance, clearly you guys do and have strong feelings about them. But nobody has said a thing about Balerion (dragon), Vhagar and Meraxes. We know whose dragons they were and their place in history but Martin hasn't written that part of the pre history yet has he? So they are unknown to us at this point. Do you want to keep them for their historic importance, or let them go?Seasmoke and Vermithor also got no mentions. Could they be let go? How about Ser Pounce (nice name, but seriously?). If we let go Dunk's horses and Meleys we only need to drop one more animal: Ser Pounce, Vermithor, Seasmoke, or one of the big three (Balerion et al). 1. Ghost A+2. Nymeria A+3. Summer A+4.

Annara Snow Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We should have more people weigh in on this. It's not like me and Pancake will be the only people playing the game (hopefully not :D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get this going - we only need to take off one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If Pancake wants to take off Sunfyre and Cannibal, I'm OK with that. I think we already agreed on taking out Rain and Meleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we compromise and keep Sunfyre & blind dog, but let Rain & Vermithor go? Works for me! Vermithor is not so interesting by himself, come to think of it - far less so than Sunfyre. The most interesting thing about him was Silverwing's reaction to his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
