Castellan Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Anyone can play, Just start guessing. Results so far #15 Randyl Tarly#16 Catelyn Tully#17 Tywin Lannister#18 Lysa Tully#19 Bowen Marsh#20 Petyr Baelish ASOIF XVII Guessing Game: Who has the worst attitude in Planetos? I mean we can all see Westeros and also Essos is just awash with people with bad attitudes, so it should b easy to make a list. To play just post that you want to play in this thread and start working on your list of the 20 people with the worst attitudes in Planetos, from the very worst attitude (#1) to the still pretty awful but not as bad as those other people, at #20. PM the list to me, Castellan, do not post it in the thread. Please title your thread 'Worst attitude Game - your board name'. Send by the end of next weekend 4-5 July. Check The Rules below if you have not played a guessing game before. (Note I have added some clarifications to the rules at the bottom of this post and will continue as they arise from people's lists.) Previous Guessing games and their results:I. Most Loved Character: Arya StarkII. Most Hated Character: Ramsay SnowIII. Sexiest Character: Jaime Lannister (male) / Arianne Martell (female)IV. Most Badass Character: Asha GreylyV. Funniest Character: Dolorous Edd TolletVI. Best Death: Ned StarkVII. Best Actor/Actress: Charles Dance as Tywin LannisterVIII. Character You Most Want to Survive: Arya StarkIX. Most Dangerous Character: Petyr 'Littlefinger' BaelishX. Favorite Minor Character: Sandor CleganeXI. Favorite Historic Character: DunkXII. Favorite Dynamic Duo: Jaime & BrienneXIII. Favorite House Sigil: House StarkXIV. Most Tragic Character: Theon GreyjoyXV: Favourite Castles and Strongholds: WinterfellXVI: Favourite chapters: ASOS The Red WeddingThe RulesThe game begins by each player sending me a PM with your top 20 lists. Please title them 'Worst attitude game - Your board name'. Send as soon as you can.The chapter you rank #1 will be given 20 points. After that the chapters in the list get 19, 18, 17 points, so on, until the chapter you put down as your #20 gets 1 point.In every round (excluding top 5) you'll be given a hint to identify the chapter. You can either gamble by nominating one chapter only, to obtain 5 points for a correct guess, or you can give three choices in order - and for the correct one you'll be getting three, two or one points respectively. Each round will last about 48 hours.We can discuss scores for final 5 once we get there. You can get an idea by looking at recent games. :)I think for this game I'd like to drop the special scoring for tied chapters. But if people want to keep it, let me know. Otherwise, for tied chapters, I'll just rank the one that was nominated by the most people higher.You can join in this game anytime, it doesn't matter if you sent a list on or not. And if you sent it, you don't have to guess if you don't want to. The more lists the better!Once we start the guessing rounds, I'll add a list of each round's chapter here, and hope I remember to keep it updated. If not, please remind me. I am hoping to have two guessing games going at once. The other is on Worst Mistakes Made by a character. Please consider signing up for both - it will be fun. Lady Stoneheart and Cateyn can be on the list separately.People alive at the time of Robert's rebellion can be on the list as well as anyone alive in the course of the books. (this is different for the Worst mistakes game which is restricted to the time period in ASOIF).Signed up so far:Night'sQueenGrietnogAnnara Snowlil' ghostThe Wolf Lord's DaughterJon's Queen ConsortLord SapnaJulia H (bolded=list sent)and a shadow is going to send lists but probably won't enter all the guessingPlease join us...

a free shadow Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I would likely not be able to play (regardless if it is one game or two), but I like the idea of two and would try to submit lists, if needed :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night'sQueen Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yay!!! I have missed the guessing game so much and did not want to join the last one at the tail end. I LOVE both of these ideas and would very happily play both simultaneously. Thank you, Castellan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grietnog Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I would be interested in both topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 By worst attitude, what is meant - someone who is just genuinely a terrible person and has terrible attitude to people, or someone who is not so bad, but has an "attitude" that puts people off or can get them in trouble?

Castellan Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 By worst attitude, what is meant - someone who is just genuinely a terrible person and has terrible attitude to people, or someone who is not so bad, but has an "attitude" that puts people off or can get them in trouble? I think its best to let each player decide that for themselves. I admit I first thought of it as a tongue in cheek, sort of teen magazine way of deciding who is the worst person (like, Hitler has a bad attitude) but I fully expect some players will go the other way, and focus on people who may not be evil but suffer from 'attitude', or use a combination, which is fine.

a free shadow Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Are the lists requested at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Are the lists requested at the moment? I wasn't requesting them but maybe I will say PM me your list. We'll just assume we'll we get enough players. Re the worst mistakes, I think we need some guidelines about the kinds of mistakes. I am inclined to say it has to be a specific action by a character not a behavioural trait or series of actions. e.g. we couldn't for Cersei say 'be so paranoid about other people that you act in a way that makes them attack you'. But you could say 'Try to get Margaery framed for adultery' or 'arrange the murder of the High Septon Tyrion appointed'. I think if you want to have an action by a group of characters that's Ok too although I can't think of many examples. For the worst mistake lists, please put them in the format below and spell out the name of the character/s in full as this will help with sorting them in a spreadsheet Name of character; Book and chapter in which the action takes place or in which we hear about it; description of the action eg 1 Edddard; AGOT 6: agreeing to be hand of the King.

a free shadow Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I think there also should be a clause 'Mistakes during the books' :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Lord's Daughter Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 These sound interesting. I'll try and come up with lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night'sQueen Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Castellan, are you going to run both games in this thread, or two separate threads? Just wondering if people haven't joined because they're not seeing the usual "ASOIAF Guessing Game XXX <Subject>" title?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I was going to run them in separate threads. But people are often slow to sign up. I guess I can put actual threads up tonight - it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's Queen Consort Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 In. I will send my list later this evening. Question; can we include characters from the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 aha! No-one has asked that yet. I am inclined to say no, because otherwise we'd have the entire Targ dynasty on the list. But maybe people alive at the time of Robert's rebellion would be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
