Sordelor Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Well excelly the genes of Quentyn, Janos and Viserys are still there :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevittable Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Arys makes the list,though he needs more discussion.I think he was a sensible and daring knight who lost control of his wits due to large nipple exposure.There's loads more.VH-there's a clue...Sorry, your clue is completely lost on me (and I tried Googling really hard too!)

redriver Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry, your clue is completely lost on me (and I tried Googling really hard too!) It rhymes with goat..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevittable Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It rhymes with goat..... Ah, got you. Granted, having one's extremities fed to northmen while your ear festers is not a nice way to go, but it's nowhere near as stupid as riding off a cliff.

I'm not so sure.Riding off a cliff smacks of a certain carelessness but Vargo pretty much designed his own death by the cruelty he dealt out to others in life.Karma seems to be at work here.Besides,weren't his extremeties fed to himself in the main?

Both are correct. I'm not so sure, when choosing Darwin contenders, I'm not sure if I would include those who die by provocation or karma. Not saying the cliff death was the Darwinian-est of them all, it was just an example, but there are a lot mentioned here that I wouldn't count. According to my own personal rules, which others are free to ignore :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HosteenOsteen Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Arys Oakheart is also a good one. Also the least interesting POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Howland Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The Other that Sam killed. He got so distracted by the baby that he let an incompetent fighter stab him without fighting back himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grand old duke of stark Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ser Dontos. Though since he was the last of his house, the gene pool threat is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yield. Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Merritt Frey -- The most incompetent and disabled Frey volunteers to deliver a bag of gold to a bloody thirsty bunch of outlaws and thinks he will walk out again with not only his life but that of their hostage, even though all know that said band are killing any Frey man on sight.

GoldenVale Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd like to nominate Lsya Tully. If you want someone who makes doing dumb things almost like a career, it's gotta be her right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pellinore Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Simon Silver-Tongue. For extorting a member of the most notorious of great houses. The one member, by the way, that was known to hang out with a sell sword, some Moon Bros and Black-ears to name but a few. He did humanity of Westeros a huge kindness by clearing the gene pool at large of his issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnief Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 In a sense Cersei. She's ensuring not only her own destruction but that of her entire house. Also a fair number of the Greyjoys. For instance, Theon's bad decisions haven't got him killed YET, but they have ensured he can't create any new heirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Snowfyre Chorus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Top of the list: Jon effing Snow. That black bastard turned down Stannis' offer of Winterfell, then hung a sign around his own neck that said "Screw you and your ideas, I'm the LC. If you don't like it, you can kill me." And he practically begged them to do so.His first act of "leadership" is to execute Janos Slynt for basic jackassery, driving his opponents into hiding while doing absolutely nothing to win them over. He puts miles between himself and every one of his true friends and trusted advisors - including Maester Aemon, a respected leader already at the end of his life, who he self-righteously sends away to die alone in a foreign land. He deprives a mother of her newborn child. He pisses off the Queen; ushers a wildling host through the Wall and parades them before their lifelong enemies; insults the Red Woman; locks his direwolf away the moment the beast starts acting "out of sorts." Naturally, he then decides the time is ripe to publicly invite a wildling army south on a march into the realms of men. And now he's dead. Black bastard indeed..

megamutt Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think Arys Oakheart gets way too much hate.Boros Blount didn't die defending Tommen- craven.Arys Oakheart did die defending Myrcella- dumbass.Three Kingsguard at TOJ, you think if Ned shows up with 700 men instead of 7 they all would just bent their knees ? Arys Oakheart."Oh, I'll just single handedly charge at a boat full of crossbow wielding dornishmen armed with nothing but a sword and shield to achieve... oh, erm, nothing. It would achieve nothing. Oops" Ashara Dayne."Oh, I'll just jump out of the window to achieve...oh, erm, nothing. It would achieve nothing. Oops" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Both are correct. I'm not so sure, when choosing Darwin contenders, I'm not sure if I would include those who die by provocation or karma. :)I don't think there's anything like karma in Martinworld. More like "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
