ASOIAF Guessing Game X — Most Favourite Minor Character — #1 announced, we're done

[Evermind]

Yes, I reveal 2 and 1 together. Those who got it right receive all points (say if you changed your list once, n=9, so you get 18 points), those who are wrong on #2 receive nothing for #2 and n for #1 if they don't need to change, n-3 for #1 if they got it wrong too. Basically everyone will receive points for #1, just the amount will be different.

[Evermind]

I'm not at home now, but reveal is coming in an hour or an hour an a half.

[Evermind]

That's kinda expected, but isn't that the case for every #2 and #1 in this game?

2. Mance Rayder

- 148 points
- in 13 out of 21 lists
- highest position: 2nd
- lowest position: 18th

(what a great surname... oh wait, not)
Mance is clever, perhaps too clever for a wildling. Also he is the object of one of the most ridiculous fake-death-writing by GRRM, in my opinion. I wonder what he's up to in the end, because this travel to Winterfell as Abel isn't helping to detemine his intentions. Can't deny he's a good actor though, and also has the balls to command the wildlings, to plot in disguise in a town full of his enemies and so on. Maybe that's why he's #2?

1. Sandor Clegane

- 170 points
- in 13 out of 21 lists
- highest position: 1st
- lowest position: 15th

Now that's not surprising. Sandor is the 21st most mentioned characters, so of course he should be our #1. That's nice, because he never won any guessing game, so this is just perfect time for him to do it! He has a certain amount of courage and ruthlessness, which are fading out as soon as he sees the fire. And even the fire couldn't scare him away in duel against Beric. While he's not cute or anything, he has other traits which help him to get here, at the first place.

So, in the end, who won?

Let me know if I screwed up with someone's score.

Congratulations, Jon's Queen Consort! This is a fine victory in a difficult game, you should be proud!

Alright, so, this was a very fun game for me, and I hope you enjoyed it as well!

First, I must give a HUGE thank you to A Free Shadow, for her help with hints, a moral support and everything. It was extremely delightful and insteresting to collaborate with you (I'm sure you know that, I wrote it like a few times in PM). Without her, this game would not be possible. I won't be revealing which hints were her and which ones were mine, but if AFS wants to do it, I'm fine with it.

Second, I must say another HUGE thank you to all you folks who played this! It was a great fun to watch you guessing this, interacting with you and all this. I'm sorry if you felt frustrated sometimes, all the purpose of the game was for you to have fun. I hope you did have it. I tried my best as a host, and at least I believe I was accurate enough with time and scores. :P

Third, I can offer no prize to the winners, but JQC, if you ever come to Moscow, we can go out and have a few beers or something. :P I'm sure AFS will send you a picture with some cake soon.

I'm too lazy to count every vote, so I'll release Top 50, but won't tell you all 100+ characters made it. There was Urrathon Nightwalker, Honor, Glory, Dog, Kraken, and more characters I would never thought of.

I'm looking forward to the next game!
