Those characters were found under the list and I forgot them when I made the final list:

Mya Stone

Ygritte

Jaqen H'ghar

My list changes all the time, that is why I do not like ending it.

I also now see that it is very "out there" compared to favourite characters of the majority.

What has not been done?

In the elimination games we've done:

- favorite castles;

- favorite ships;

- best swordsman (looong time ago);

- bastards was recently done, but we scraped to find 30 to fill the list;

- best player (of the game of thrones)

- favorite quote*

*we had a lot of discussion in the EGs about how this was undoable. Then I found in the forum games archive that it had been done. Not only had it been done - it was done 5 times! There was one EG (30 quotes) for each book.

Somebody mentioned best historic character - i.e. they were dead before AGOT started. Sounded like there was quite a lot of interest in that one.

Here's some I just thought of

- favorite character north of the wall

- favorite non-human

[a free shadow]

they were dead before AGOT

This one.

[Evermind]

I'm up for anything, but favourite historic character sounds especially great.

Let's see . . . that would include Rhaegar, Lyanna, Ashara Dayne, Aegon and Visenya, mad Aerys, Meraxes and co., the Sword of the Morning guy, and so on? Yeah, I suppose there's enough there to scrape a list of 20 together. Barely.

[a free shadow]

Barely.

Lies :ninja:

Oh yes! That would be awesome. So many possibilities so many characters. But I have to ask we should start from the Age of Heroes and end with Robert's Rebellion?

Of course, that's my poor memory talking. ;)

May I borrow your notes? Pretty please, with honey on it?

I'm kidding, of course.

This will be fun if it's the game we do, I'll be more lost than on this past one. :P

[Myrish Swamp Thing]

Am I the only one who finds a historical character list intensely boring? Maybe they're just not as well developed as those on the mainline story.

[Castellan]

Favourite historical characters - can we include Dunk & Egg characters? Cause I prefer them to people we only know from others' accounts, like Arthur Dayne.

If I am the only one who has not read Dunk&Egg, I don't mind. But if there are more, they would not be able to guess anyone from Dunk and therefore play the game properly.

I would feel bad for whoever ran this one, hints would be hard to come by IMO. I would be down for it, though. We can do favorite chapters? The non-human one sounds good.

[Emmit]

Historical figures is fine by me, but honestly I'll need a list.

[a free shadow]

Not important :ninja:

Ok for my notes, I am not sure about the honey tho. I use only chocolate ^_^

Who is he again??? :leaving:

[Arya kiddin']

Who is he again??? :leaving:

Bugger you with a bloody spear, HC. :lol: (He is in Harrenhal in a Jaime POV, one of Mountain's men. He keeps on repeating bugger me with a bloody spear, it's the /kingslayer :lol: )

:ninja:

well i guess we play without D&E. You really should read D&E some time though they are quite light and easy to read and have lots of ASOIF backstory in them. Much easier to read than the Princess and the Queen which I gave up on after the first couple of paras.
