Lady Blizzardborn Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Post your votes here. Everything should appear in the thread where it can be checked by all. Thanks for the Bloodraven clarification. So I should call him Brynden Targaryen? I'd put the Rivers in parentheses like with the ladies' maiden names. Hang on I'll work this out, no Alysane Mormont :crying: Somehow I managed to miss Robb Stark and Wyman Manderley off my list :dunce: I completely forgot Dolorous Edd, much to my dismay.

The BlackBear Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 CommentaryI was going to try some witty remarks to spice up the matchups, but perhaps I will leave that to others.Bear?These are my votes Bold for who I want to win.

Barbrey DustinIn the Grey Corner: She’ll drink you under that table, she’ll throw an axe at your head, it’s the Iron Woman Asha Greyjoy!In the Red Corner: She’s best friends with Roose Bolton, she’ll feed you to her dogs, it’s the Red Widow Barbrey Dustin! match 3 – I don’t have anything for this, something about sisters in law? #3. Catelyn Stark #14. Lyanna Stark match 4 – The Spearwife and the Sissys’Wife #4. Ygritte #13.

Ygritte the Wildling!Tywins little sister she may be, but she’s big in every other way, she’s married to a walking punchbag, and isn’t afraid of anyone, she’ll tell you truths you can’t handle.

Corvinus85 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Goddamnit, I came a bit late to this thread, and I was just thinking of starting a similar thread. Well, most of the characters are here, so I'll participate. I'm guessing you're voting on your favorite character, not who you objectively think would win in an actual fight. My votes on Women's Matchups Round 1: West "Regional" match 1 #1. Arya Stark match 2 #2. Asha Geyjoy match 3 #14. Lyanna Stark match 4 #13. Genna (Lannister) Frey match 5 #12.

honeyed chicken Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I had a little time for commentary for this round and there are a number of matchups that I think are interesting. The Round 1 Men's Matchups are: North "Regional" match 17 - is a choice between the face of the first book of the series and the faceless man. #1. Ned Stark (“You are an honest and honourable man. . .” – Varys) versus #16. Jaqen H’ghar (“only death may pay for life”) match 18 – if these were fights instead of elections, this match up of fighters would be very intriguing. #2. Sandor Clegane (“killing is the sweetest thing there is” ) v. #15. Strong Belwas (“bad fighting, good dying. Strong Belwas hates it when they scream.” ) match 19 – is there a more unlikely pairing than these two? #3. Jamie Lannister (“There are no men like me. There's only me”) v. #14. Wyman Manderly (“I am fat, and many think that makes me weak and foolish.”) match 20 – A man who’s name is synonymous with the white of the KG vs the man who made the rainbow guard. #4. Barristan Selmy (“I could cut through the five of you as easy as a dagger cuts cheese.”) v #13. Renly Baratheon (“He knew how to dress … he got the notion that this made him fit to be king.”) match 21 - knight vs day. A man rigid with honor & duty vs. a man who care nothing for either. #5. Stannis Baratheon (“There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.”) v #12. Euron Greyjoy (“Euron's gifts are poisoned.”) match 22 – another unlikely match. One who can read vs. one who can’t. #6. Bronn (“I sell my sword, I don’t give it away.”) v #11. Samwell Tarly (“I'm fat, not blind.”) match 23 #7. Jorah Mormont (“He lied to me, informed on me, but he loved me too, and he always gave good counsel.”) v #10. Tywin Lannister (“Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.”) match 24 – Whoa!! This is rather creepy that these two should go head to head. #8. Theon Greyjoy (“I'm not him, I'm not the turncloak, he died at Winterfell.”) v #9. Robb Stark (“if I had listened to you and kept Theon as my hostage, I’d still rule the north,”) South "Regional" match 25 – the sublime AD vs. the dwarf. #1. Tyrion Lannister (All that the gods had given to Cersei and Jamie they had denied Tyrion) v #16. Arthur Dayne (“The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne,”) match 26 - two lesser sons and unwanted, both proven in battle. #2. Jon Snow (He was no true Stark, had never been one... but he could die like one.) v #15. Podrik Payne (“I told you I could fight!”) match 27 – perchance Davos the smuggler sailed around Bear Island a time or two. #3. Davos Seaworth (“I would say my parts are mixed, m’lady. Good and bad.”) v #14. Jeor Mormont (“The things we love destroy us every time, lad.”) match 28 – two Essossi émigrés to Westeros. #4. Varys (“ . . . the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.”) v #13. Thoros of Myr (“War makes monsters of us all.”) match 29 – the viper against the giantsbane. #5. Oberyn Martell (“Oberyn was ever the viper. Deadly, dangerous, unpredictable.”) v #12. Tormund Giantsbane (“I can outdrink, outfight, and outsing him.”) match 30 – Mance’s cunning against Syrio’s skill. #6. Mance Rayder (“See, lad, that's why he's king and I'm not. . . . but Mance has cunning.”) v #11. Syrio Forel (“Never do what they expect.”) match 31 – the man who had the crown but wanted the girl versus the man who has the girl and wants the crown. #7. Robert Baratheon (“This Baratheon is fearless. He fights the way a king should fight.”) v #10. Petyr Baelish (“I did warn you not to trust me, you know.”) match 32 – sons of the two great friends, Robert & Ned. Will they ever meet? #8. Bran Stark (“You will never walk, but you will fly.”) v #9. Gendry (“He's just stupid. He likes to polish helmets and beat on swords with hammers.”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 My choices with some comments this time: North "Regional" match 17 #1. Ned Stark (headless man beats faceless man)match 18 #2. Sandor Clegane (fight or just an election, this was still a tough choice) match 19 #3. Jamie Lannister (in the end it came down to who can sit a horse better)match 20 #4. Barristan Selmy (The steel of the Kingsguard is harder, deadlier, and still prettier to look at than copper)match 21 #5. Stannis Baratheon (no godless man may win this bracket) match 22 #6. Bronn (most boys like Sam want to be Bronn when they grow up)match 23 #7. Jorah Mormont (since I couldn’t decide, I picked based on who I imagined would win in a fight between a lion and a bear, a Grizzly that is) match 24 #9. Robb Stark (Reek, Reek, it rhymes with bugger off Theon) South "Regional" match 25 #1. Tyrion Lannister (and so it ends for the comic book hero)match 26 #2. Jon Snow (Ghost!) match 27 #3. Davos Seaworth (yeah, something with ships and bones. I’ll think of something better next time) match 28 #13. Thoros of Myr (tough choice, Jedi vs Sith, but who is really Jedi, and who is really Sith?) match 29 #12. Tormund Giantsbane (he did fock that bear) match 30 #6. Mance Rayder (toughest choice of all; they are pretty much equal in everything, but Mance was a king)match 31 #7. Robert Baratheon (Robert may be a fuckhead, but he is a loveable one; no one likes a sore loser, Petyr)match 32 #9. Gendry (he’s a maker; Bran is just a dreamer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annara Snow Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 North "Regional"match 17 #1. Ned Stark #16. Jaqen H’gharmatch 18 #2. Sandor Clegane ("I like dogs better than knights.. A hound will die for you, but never lie to you") #15. Strong Belwasmatch 19#3. Jaime Lannister ("So many vows...they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It's too much.

Bronn #11. Samwell Tarlymatch 23 #7. Jorah Mormont #10.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Round 1 Men North Regional 17. Lord Eddard, by a head. 18. Sandor. Never let a hound cut you "once" before going in for the kill. Sorry SB, my dear dear fav, but that was bound to catch up with you. :crying: 19. Jaime. Much as I enjoy Lord Too-Fat's catering, Jaime's been turning it around so let's give him a hand. 20. Ser Barristan. He's never tried to sell me on who should be king. 21. Stannis. For his sense of humor. 22. Sam. Other-killing scores: Sam = 1, Bronn = 0. 23. Tywin. A contemptible person, but less pathetic than Ser Friendzone. 24. Robb "I Did it for the Girl" Stark. South Regional 25. Tyrion. When the zombies attack, they'll want him first. 26. Jon. Winter has arrived. 100% chance of Snow. 27. Ser Davos. He's a very layered individual. 28. Varys. The only spider I like. 29. Oberyn. The only viper I like. 30. Mance. Bloodraven's grandson really does grow on you. 31. Petyr. A little finger casts a large shadow. And we all know which finger he's giving to Westeros. 32. Bran. This was tough, but I have to give it to the kid who can skinchange and fly. It's not easy being green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
