ASOIF Guessing Game XVI - Favourite chapters - the end

[Castellan]

I like that everyone's list was quite different but getting enough people to play meant that the common chapters emerged and went to the top.

Some chapters I very subjectively think deserved to end up higher:

- ACOK Dany IV. I've thought the first two must be the RW and HotU and I only had to decide which to place first in my guess. They weren't.

- AGOT Dany IX. I didn't want to join the discussion about this chapter during the guessing, because if I've added my agreement to Annara Snow's opinion, any third person having it on their list would have it obvious that it will appear in some later round. But it seems there was no third person, 16 points from me and 13 from Annara leave at best one more point from someone else. And I'm really surprised, it's a really good chapter and for me it's the second most memorable moment of the first book apart from Eddard's death.

- ACOK Arya X. Maybe it was lost because of hiding next to the Weasel Soup - but I feel from this great storyline, the last chapter deserved at least the same, and rather more, credit.

- ADWD The Prince of Winterfell. The whole wedding sequence is great, including imo maybe the best set description from ASOIAF. Well, sometimes it's hard to compare, but one of my favourites to be sure. And this chapter has many other things, too, the Frey Pies included. I'm not sure if maybe it also got lost because people where choosing the "Theon" chapter as the representative of this whole storyline, but while also very good I don't really think it has had anything to outshine the PoW chapter.

Congrats Grietnog and everyone. :)

A tit-bit for Kirt

Tyrion beat Arya and Dany for the most chapters on the total list but he also had the most overall points. Top three POV point scorers were as follows:

Tyrion 393

Dany 373

Arya 353

Tyrion beat Arya and Dany for the most chapters on the total list but he also had the most overall points. Top three POV point scorers were as follows:

Ee, so did he beat Arya or was there a tie?

Dany having more points than Arya is interesting - though it's probably because Arya had much more good chapters, but not that many great ones.

OOPs I forgot that it was a Tyrion/Arya tie for number of chapters. I was thinking Tyrion had more.

So they had the same number but Tyrion got more points overall from the same number of chapters.

I think Dany's storyline includes so many exotic high points that are very memorable, but Arya is just there slogging away in every book, arousing our sympathy but for me the chapters don't stand out distinctly from each other. The one I would remember is when Sandor drags her away from the Red Wedding. That is so sad.

[Annara Snow]

Could you put the entire list now with the number of points and votes?

[Castellan]

Do you mean top twenty? Or every chapter on someone's list?

[Annara Snow]

Do you mean top twenty? Or every chapter on someone's list?

I mean top 20.

Though, now that you mention it, the latter would also be fun to see... but a little long.

That can't be correct. It was #2 on my list, so if no one put it at #1 the high point is 19 points.

[Castellan]

I knew there's be an error. Ah well I will check back.

[kirt]

That can't be correct. It was #2 on my list, so if no one put it at #1 the high point is 19 points.

Ser Fingerbones put it as #1.

Are the high points for HotU 20 or 19? Both are only one key apart from "10" so I see equal chances :D
