ASoIaF Elimination Game 32: Best quote in AGoT


a free shadow

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the 32nd edition of the Elimination Game, "Best quote in Game of Thrones"!

Only the quotes from the first book are included in this round to keep the number of options at no more than 30.

A brief review of the mechanics and rules:

In each round, you are allowed to "heal" one option and "hurt" another. For example

The things I do for love 5

A madman sees what he sees 5

Heal Madman

Hurt Love

The things I do for love 4 -

A madman sees what he sees 6 +

The rules:

1. Every battle starts with 5 HP (healing points).

2. You can only vote once every 10 attack posts (9 between your first and last) OR once every two hours.

3. A cap of 25 HP will be imposed upon the last 5 deaths standing. Once this cap is in effect, you can choose to hurt one option without healing another, as long as at least one of the remaining choices is at the 25 point maximum.

4. If you spot any errors during the game, please correct them and include where you saw the error happen.

5. The game starts with 150 HP total and should stay that way until the last 5 deaths standing.

6. Please note who you're healing/hurting with +/- signs.

The list:

1) Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid? / That is the only time a man can be brave. 5

2) Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities. 5

3) A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. 5

4) Common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. 5

5) When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. 5

6) There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man. 5

7) Stick them with the pointy end. 5

8) I will give you a golden crown all men will fear. 5

9) The night gathers and now my watch begins. It will not end until my death. (The NW oath) 5

10) The things I do for love. 5

11) Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you. 5

12) I did tell you not to trust me. 5

13) If I look back, I am lost. 5

14) It is known. 5

15) When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. 5

16) And now it begins / No, now it ends. 5

17) Promise me, Ned. 5

18) Fear cuts deeper than swords. 5

19) What do we say to the God of Death? / Not today. 5

20) But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am your king, treason shall never go unpunished. Ser Ilyn, bring me his head!! 5

21) Or maybe he'll give me yours. 5

22) I am the blood of the dragon. 5

23) Moon of my life / My sun and stars. 5

24) A madman sees what he sees. 5

25) I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one. 5

26) And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things. 5

27) Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know of fear? Fear is for the winter, when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods. 5

28) In my dreams, I kill him every night, A thousand deaths will still be less than he deserves. 5

29) If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. 5

30) I will wear it as a badge of honor / Wear it in silence or I'll honour you again. 5

Don't forget!:

Every elimination game has a theme and you are supposed to vote for a character based on how well they represent the theme, not how much you like them. Say you like X and X is a coward and stands around in a corner and wallows in self-pity. X is not a badass, and you shouldn't vote for him, no matter how much you like him as a character. Or for another example, say character X is from place Y. You don't actually like place Y, for a variety of reasons, but character X is from there, so you vote for place Y. This is also wrong, and you should vote for a place you like.
