[lil' ghost]

3. ASOS Dany III

2. ADWD Dany IX

1. ASOS Cat VII

i'll stay the same. as much as i want to change to Tyrion X, I'll just stick with what i have.

[Grietnog]

Bump.

[Castellan]

#2 ASOS 70 Tyrion X

Viper v Mountain

111 pts on 10 lists 20-2

The end is nigh in what has been a contest of endurance as well as ... appreciation of the books? knowing how others think? Intuition? Knowing when to sit tight?

Standings after #2 Bustard retains the lead although Grietnog earns 12 points (as does Lord Lyman)

let me know if I have made any mistakes

Bustard 74+9=83

Ser Fingerbones 73+9=82

Grietnog 70=12=82

Annara Snow 67+9=76

Kirt 63+9=72

lil ghost 71=0=71

Mathis of Rowan 59+9=68

Lord Lyman 56+12=68

Ramsay Blow 61+0=61

Ser Blackfyre 56

Steelborn 49+0=49

Lord Sapna 46+0=46

Dany Lannister 32

a shadow 18

Honeyed chicken 18+0=18

TC 15

Lyanna <3Rhaegar 5

Some people may want to change their #1 at this point.

​PS Does anyone want to host a game and/or have a topic idea?

[Grietnog]

1. ASOS Catelyn VII

2. ASOS Tyrion X

3. AGOT Catelyn XI

4/5. ACOK Daenerys IV and ASOS Tyrion XI

List unchanged.

ASoS Catelyn VII :ninja:

Theme ideas: Best House Words; Biggest Mistake made by (a) character(s); Best Alias.

[Mathis of Rowan]

1. ASOS Catelyn VII

List stays the same

[Annara Snow]

List stays the same, obviously.

[Castellan]

ASoS Catelyn VII :ninja:

Theme ideas: Best House Words; Biggest Mistake made by (a) character(s); Best Alias.

Actually I meant those are great ideas! Why don't you host?!

[Lord Lyman]

1. Catelyn VII- ASOS

2. Tyrion X- ASOS
3. Jon XIII- ADWD
4./5. Dany III- ASOS / Dany IV ACOK

Not changing anything

[lil' ghost]

1. ASOS Cat VII

same

[Ser Fingerbones]

Theme ideas: Best House Words; Biggest Mistake made by (a) character(s); Best Alias.

I quite like the mistake and alias one. That'd be a lot of fun I'd say.

My list stays the same - ASOS Catelyn VII

[kirt]

1. ASOS Catelyn VII

2. ACOK Dany IV ASOS Tyrion X

3. ASOS Tyrion XI ASOS Dany III

Not changing of course.

I like the "biggest mistake" idea, though it'd probably require a lot from the host to decide which entries on the lists and in every guess are the same mistake and which aren't. But if someone's willing to host it, it'll be fun.

Also, as mentioned we can do "least favourite chapter", we've already spent some time looking at the table of contents and remembering what happened in which chapter. And it'll be interesting to see what the results of this question would be, I think even more so than the favourite chapters.

[Jon's Queen Consort]

If there isn't another candidate for hosting the next round I can do it.

[Castellan]

#1 ASOS Catelyn VII

The Red Wedding

128 pts, 10 lists, high 20 low 9

was #1 on 3 lists

and the winner is Grietnog - a consistent points earner and kept cool at the end to come in with 12 points and jump back up to the top, just ahead of Bustard and Ser Fingerbones.

its been a long game and I want to thank all who stuck to it and those who didn't as well!

I think shadow gets a most improved award this week.

Grietnog 82+12=94

Bustard 83+9=92

Ser Fingerbones 82=9=91

Annara Snow 76+9=85

Kirt 72+9=81

lil ghost 71+9=80

Mathis of Rowan 68+9=77

Lord Lyman 68+12=80

Ramsay Blow 61+0=61

Ser Blackfyre 56

Steelborn 49+0=49

Lord Sapna 46+0=46

Dany Lannister 32

a shadow 18+12=30

As to new games. Jons Queen Consort has offered to host. Shadow has mentioned a few topics. I would quite like to see two games going at the same time and am prepared to host one if Jons Queen Consort hosts the other.

I have my own topic ideas for my game and like a couple of shadows but first lets see what topic JQC would like to do.

PS AW scratch that, I am feeling impatient. I am just going to start a thread with two topic ideas - one of shadow's, one of mine. If anyone wants to take over one of them as host they are very welcome. I expect it will take time to see if we get enough players.

[Annara Snow]

Unsurprising winner, though I made the crucial mistake of overestimating the popularity of the House of the Undying chapter when making my top 5, based on how many people mention it whenever best chapters are discussed.

Could you now post the entire list with all the data (points, how many people voted for it)?

My list was:

1. Sansa VII, ACOK (Blackwater)

2. Tyrion XI, ASOS (the privy)

3. Bran III, ADWD (the weirwood visions)

4. Arya X, ACOK (the escape from Harrenhal)

5. Catelyn VII, ACOK (in Jamie's cell)

6. Arya XIII, ASOS (the fight at the inn)

7. Catelyn VII, ASOS (the Red Wedding)

8. Daenerys IX, AGOT (Mirri Maz Duur has got some news for you)

9. Alayne II, AFFC

10. Sansa VII, ASOS (Snow Castle/Only Cat)

11. Jaime V, ASOS (in the bathtub)

12. Tyrion X, ASOS (the Mountain and the Viper)

13. Theon, ADWD (the escape from Winterfell)

14. Daenerys III, ASOS (Astapor)

15. Sansa III, ASOS (the wedding)

16. Tyrion XV, ACOK (post-Blackwater, memories of Tysha)

17. Daenerys X, AGOT (the birth of the dragons)

18. Jaime VI, ASOS (the bear and the maiden not so fair)

19. Eddard XV, AGOT (in the black cells)

20. Daenerys IV, ACOK (the House of the Undying)

It may have been influenced by the fact I had just finished my re-read of the first three books when I voted, though I'm sure ASOS was always going to have most chapters on my list. But after the game started, I started to re-read AFFC/ADWD and was reminded how awesome the ADWD Prologue is, so if I made it now I definitely would have included it. Although I don't know which one I'd chuck out of the list to make room for it.

Some other chapters I was considering when I was making the list:

Brienne VI, AFFC (the Quiet Isle)

Arya IX, ACOK (the weasel soup)

Davos II, ACOK (the shadowbaby)

Bran II, ASOS (the Knight of the Laughing Tree)

Bran III, AGOT (the coma dream)

A Ghost in Winterfell, ADWD

The Prince of Winterfell, ADWD

[Grietnog]

My list was:

1. Catelyn VIII Storm

2. Catelyn IX Game

3. Brienne V Feast

4. Jaime VIII Storm

5. Epilogue Dance

6. Davos III Dance

7. Jaime VI Feast

8. The Griffin Reborn Dance

9. Jon XIII Dance

10. Tyrion X Storm

11. Catelyn VII Clash

12. Theon I Winds

13. Jon X Storm

14. Catelyn III Storm

15. Sansa VII Storm

16. Alayne I Feast

17. Tyrion IV Clash

18. Arya XIII Storm

19. The Lost Lord Dance

20. Jon I Storm

At this point a lot of them would probably change, but the top five certainly haven't. Thanks the game, and a big thanks to Castellan to hosting.

[Annara Snow]

You mean Catelyn VII, Storm... sadly, there is no Catelyn VIII...

[a free shadow]

Congratulations, Grietnog! :ninja:

I think this might have been the toughest guessing game!

[Mathis of Rowan]

It was a great game!

Congratulations to the victors! :cheers:

My list:

1. Catelyn II ACOK (Knights of Summer)

2. Bran I AGOT (Direwolf pups)

3. Cersei IV AFFC (The Smallest Council)

4. Davos IV ADWD (The North remembers)

5. Epilogue ADWD (Winter arrives in KL)

6. Eddard XII AGOT (Bobby B back from the hunt)

7. Jon VIII ASOS (Battle on the Wall)

8. Bran VII ACOK (Leaving Winterfell)

9.Tyrion IV ADWD (Traveling down the Rhoyne)

10. The Princess in the Tower AFFC (Fire and Blood)

11. Eddard XV AGOT (In the Black Cells)

12. Arya II AGOT (The pack survives)

13. Sansa I ASOS (The Queen of Thornes)

14. Tyrion IV ACOK (Tyrion plays the game)

15. Davos II ACOK (Davos at Storm's End)

16. Jaime V AFFC (Family talk with Daven and Genna)

17. Jon XI ASOS (Rise as Jon Stark)

18. The Captain of the Guards AFFC (Welcome to Dorne)

19. Jaime I ADWD (Blackwood and Bracken)

20. Bran II ASOS (The Knight of the Laughing Tree)

Only 2 out of my list made it into the top 20 but that was what I expected. I like the quiet slow moments that give time for development more than the most shocking twists. But I admit if I would do The list today many things would change. How could I forget the Prologue of ACOK??

[Grietnog]

You mean Catelyn VII, Storm... sadly, there is no Catelyn VIII...

Aha, I just copied my original list. I had to edit that before officially submitting.
