Annara Snow Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 A granted land and a knighthood. What's the use of a dragon egg if you can't hatch a dragon, and if you tried to sell it, there's a big chance someone will kill you so they could get it, before you manage to do it. Or, you offer it for sale and they arrest you and interrogate you (not a pleasant experience if you're a commoner in a feudal society) because they think you must have stolen it. Would you rather be a noble lady in Westeros (outside of Dorne), or a male commoner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadin Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Fair point. I was actually leaning towards the dragon's egg because I thought I could buy a knighthood and land with it. A noble lady. I think it'll be easier to exert influence via my husband (gods, I hope it won't be Walder Frey) than to rise in the ranks from being a commoner. If you were tasked by the throne to found a new port town along the Westerosi eastern coast, would you rather build it in Dorne (along the saltshore), or in the Vale (somewhere North of Gulltown)?

Castellan Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think given that those in power know Dorne is a secret enemy but wants to keep peace with them, I would avoid something that might drive them paranoid and at the same time give them an asset: a new port. I don't know Petyr is plotting to rule a chaotic world, so I would reward him with a new port. Would you rather ally yourself with Aegon (Young Griff) or Dany?

Raisin' Bran Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 From my persepctive as a reader: Dany. Aegon is a wild card. Despite Aegon arriving in Westeros significantly earlier than Dany, She still has dragons, not something I would want to be fighting in battle. WYR have Ser Robert Strong as a bodyguard or Sandor Clegane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadin Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sandor Clegane. Less creepy, less dead (I subscribe to the gravedigger theory). And who knows where Ser Robert Strong's loyalty lies? I'd rather trust my life to someone I can, at least to an extent, understand. If you were a peasant in the North, WYR get appointed as castellan of Winterfell or tasked to rule over a new-found village on the Gift (with the rights to build a holdfast but also chances of wildling raids)?

rocksniffer Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 the gift since i might ally with the wildlings Jon allowed to come south while Winterfell is always going to be in the middle of a shit storm....what can i say i like peace and quiet WYR have grown up as a westerosi peasant or a dothraki (not a Khal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Its a choice between sticking with what seems more familiar (a large chunk of me comes from southern english peasants) and what has some potential advantages over that. I'll go Dothraki I think. Everybody has been posing hard choices. I will just say, would you rather live in Lannisport or Oldtown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadin Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Oldtown. Biased answer since we've never seen Lannisport on page, but I think it offers more options, socioeconomically speaking. Also, I'm oriental and I assume Oldtown's more diverse ethnically, so more tolerant. WYR be a successful musician at court or a penniless hedge knight?

Prof. Cecily Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A successful musician at court. Not a singer, though. GRRM has it in for singers. And my question: Your lemon cakes- penis shaped and 12 feet high or made from Braavosi lemons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 12 ft high - I'd topple it, slice it up and serve at a feast. Would you rather have sex with Illyrio or Joffrey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadin Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Illyrio. Less chances of dying. Would you rather die by bear (a la Amory Lorch) or starved and chopped (a la Vargo Hoat)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Vargo. It may seem a more cruel way to go, but my understanding is that he did not even realize what was going on. Ignorance is bliss. WYR fight 8 wights or 2 ice spiders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Definitely wights. Fuck spiders. WYR be a dragon rider on Viserion or Rhaegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Rhaegal. Would you rather watch a visually terrible but stimulating and interesting show, or a visually stunning but boring and cliche show? (I can't imagine what I might be referring to probably nothing, just a random thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I've seen more of the latter than the former. Hard to choose. Some things aren't visually terrible they are just low budget and made for TV so its more they are visually basic. I think I'll go for the stimulating but visually terrible. WYR live in Pentos or Volantis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Pentos sounds more like my kind of place. I'm lazy to think up a new question so, Would you rather live in Winterfell or Sunspear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Hill Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Winterfell, easily. There are few things I like better than bathing in a hot spring with snow around me. Would you rather join the Night's Watch or the Silent Sisters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Procrastination Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Night's Watch. I happen to be a rather chatty person, so joining the Silet Sisters isn't an option for me. Would you rather have a dragon or a direwolf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Why not think big? I'd go for the dragon. Would you rather run an Inn or be a sailor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
