Rajam Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ongoing rounds: Final (DEADLINE: Tuesday August 4th, 17:00 EST) Hello guys; I'd like to make some sort of tournament, to determine who is the most popular character in the ASOIAF world. As you may know, the universe created by GRRM has over 2000 characters! That's a lot to handle, and I'll just focus on the next 128: Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff) Aemon Targaryen (Maester Aemon) Aerys II Targaryen (Mad King) Alliser Thorne Areo Hotah Arianne Martell Arya Stark Asha Greyjoy Balon Greyjoy Barristan Selmy Belwas Benjen Stark Beric Dondarrion Biter Bowen Marsh Bran Stark Brienne of Tarth Bronn Brynden Tully Catelyn Tully (Lady Stoneheart) Cersei Lannister Coldhands Craster Daario Naharis Daenerys Targaryen Davos Seaworth Dontos Hollard Doran Martell Drogo Eddard 'Ned' Stark Eddison Tollett Edmure Tully Ellaria Sand Euron Greyjoy Gendry Gilly Gregor Clegane Grenn Grey Worm High Sparrow Hizdahr zo Loraq Hodor Hoster Tully Illyrio Mopatis Ilyn Payne Jaime Lannister Janos Slynt Jaqen H'ghar Jeor Mormont Joffrey Baratheon Jojen Reed Jon Arryn Jon Connington Jon Snow Jon Umber (Greatjon) Jorah Mormont Kevan Lannister Kraznys mo Nakloz Lancel Lannister Loras Tyrell Luwin Lyanna Stark Lysa Tully Mace Tyrell Mance Rayder Margaery Tyrell Meera Reed Melisandre Meryn Trant Mirri Maz Duur Missandei Myrcella Baratheon Nymeria Sand Obara Sand Oberyn Martell Olenna Redwyne Orell Osha Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) Podrick Payne Pyat Pree Pycelle Pypar (Pyp) Qhorin Halfhand Quentin Martell Qyburn Ramsay Bolton Randyll Tarly Rast Rattleshirt Renly Baratheon Rhaegar Targaryen Rickard Karstark Rickon Stark Robb Stark Robert Arryn Robert Baratheon Rodrik Cassel Roose Bolton Rorge Samwell Tarly Sandor Clegane Sansa Stark Selyse Florent Shae Shireen Baratheon Stannis Baratheon Styr (Magnar of Thenn) Syrio Forel Theon Greyjoy (Reek) Thoros of Myr Tommen Baratheon Tormund Trystane Martell Tycho Nestoris Tyene Sand Tyrion Lannister Tywin Lannister Vargo Hoat Varys Victarion Greyjoy Viserys Targaryen Walder Frey Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun Wyman Manderly Xaro Xhoan Daxos Ygritte Yoren So, what do you think? Any ideas? Any character you're missing (no wolves/dragons btw)? If you have any question or suggestion, let me know. Also, if you want an extra character to appear, indicate which one from the list you'd take off, since I'd like to keep it with 128 entries which is a perfect number for tournaments.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Characters I'd remove: Xaro Xhoan DaxosKraznysPyat PreeRorgeBiterViserys or Selyse Craster (seriously, no one would vote for him) Characters I'd add:Bloodraven aka The Three-Eyed Crow aka Brynden RiversJeyne (Westerling) StarkThe Kindly ManThe WaifQuaitheat least one Dayne--Edric, Arthur, Ashara, DarkstarWylla Manderly and/or Lyanna Mormont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 My suggestions for characters to be added: Alys Karstark*Alysanne MormontBloodraven/Brynden Rivers *Dacey Mormont*Elder Brother*Hyle HuntMaege MormontSepton MeribaldMya Stone*Myranda Royce*Sarella Sand*Ser Shadrich the Mad MouseLady Smallwood (Ravella Swann)Tom of SevenstreamsWylla Manderly* * indicates that I feel particularly strongly about including them Characters I would take out: BiterCrasterGregor CleganeJanos SlyntMeryn TrantOrellPyat PreePycelleRastRattleshirtRickard KarstarkRorgeSelyse FlorentTrystane MartellXaro Xhoan Daxos Orell was never even seen on page unless we count his eagle, Trystane barely appears in books, and the rest are characters that I don't think anyone likes or cares about (Rast is a very minor character). (Vargo Hoat may be one of those, but at least he is funny. I'd add him if I remember another character I like.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Cool. If you need any pointers on putting it together I think it was honeyed chicken who ran the March Madness character thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajam Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 ok everything is setup, so no point in delaying it further.
