Do I really see Jon Snow in the list? I like to guy but since when is he considered a famous more than average swordsman? Mance actually defeated him and he is not on the list.

The same with Azor Ahai. Just because he had a sword...Yoren happened to got one, too :)

I'd really like those two on the list:

Prince Lewyn Martell

Ser Robar Royce

I am not too happy about Azor Ahai being on the list.....

There'll be a chance to vote them off tomorrow.

Lewyn Martell should definitely be on there. I don't remember much about Robar Royce.

I'm accepting lists for the Final Five Survive! Game now.


I know the list isn't final, but you may change your lists as often as you want till the EG starts. And if you missed getting me a change and one your guesses was voted off the EG list you can replace those people if you get your change in before post #20 of the EG. That's not a lot of extra time, but I don't want to slow down the EGs anymore.


The Survive! htread for this game is here: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/108337-asoiaf-eg-final-five-survive-game-3-best-swordsman/

My 5 are

1. Jon Snow

2. Azor Ahai

3. Brandon Stark

4. Ilyn Payne

5, Eddard Stark

I agree with that list. Actually, I have no idea about Azor Ahai (and really, is there any way to judge his abilities? Which is a good reason to exclude him), but Ned and Jon are not supposed to be great swordsmen, I don't think Brandon was either, and I have no idea why Ilyn Payne is on the list.

Also, why is Mandon Moore on the list? Can anyone remind me if he was ever mentioned as a particularly good sworsdman?

The number one reason several of these candidates were on the list in the first place was that I couldn't find better ones. I spent time on the wiki looking for mentions of people's sword work and there was very little.

Aside from Arthur Dayne and Jamie, GRRM doesn't spend a lot of time talking about swordplay the way his friend, Roger Zelazny does.

- Jamie calls Mandon Moore one of the most dangerous of the KG because of those cold dead eyes of his. You can't read his intentions. That doesn't speak directly to his skill with the blade, but all the KG are assumed to be among the best and if Jamie thinks he's dangerous, that's enough for me.

- I put in Jon Snow because he defeated Qhorin, who is on the list - and he kicked ass in the training yard at CB.

- I included Ned for defeating Arthur Dayne (albeit in both his case and Jon's they had help).

- As for Brandon, that comes mainly from the recollections of him by his former lover, Lady Dustin (in ADWD). She seemed to think highly of him as a swordsman (in both senses).

- Ilyn Payne & AA? No good reason, Just again, lack of better alternatives.

But the time for thinking of alternatives is past.

Now, is the time for voting off these imposters that you don't like.

So list the five you most want voted off the list - or are you submitting the same five as Lord Lyman?

Well done!



This time around I'm going to post some lists in advance. Some will be from my own topic ideas and some will be from Kobayashi Maru, and others. And anybody else who has topic ideas and lists could post them now.


This way you can all think about what you want to play next while the current one is going. Then we can transition quicker.
