Cast-o-phobia: We have a winner!!

I've never seen Taylor Momsen in anything, so I have no idea about her acting ability or screen presence... I'm just going by her look, which doesn't seem Dany to me.

Though GRRM may disagree for all I know - after all, he thought Tamzin Merchant was the right choice for Dany, which I absolutely can't see.

Grrm describes Daenerys as quite skinny, if I remember correctly, tamzin merchant and Taylor momsen both fit that. Taylor is an fair actress, though I’ve only seen her in gossip girl. In that, she had a very strong presence and did a good job shifting her character to the ‘dark side’ from an innocent blondie. To me that’s Daenerys enough. Though I Still didn’t end up entering her, not even as plan B because she is soooooo goth at this point it’s hard to see through that.

Well, I don't want to offend any of the actresses (fortunately, I'm pretty sure none of them is reading this :P), but Dany is also supposed to have remarkable and 'otherworldly' beauty, rather than just look like a kinda cute, generic skinny blonde.

Well since only a teeny tiny percentage of the population has a otherworldly beauty, it’s kinda hard to make that into the casting criteria, I suppose :lol: hence the settling for just generically good looking actresses.

There are only four entries for Jon Snow - hoping for two more, at least?

Deadline extended till Sunday morning, Oct. 28, 2018, 10 am east coast time USA for round 9 voting and round 10 (final round) nominees for Jon Snow.

I've already submitted my actor for Jon, but I'm not sure I'd be able to meet the next deadline of the next character this week, because I'll be very busy till Friday evening. So if I can submit the new one if it's in the middle of the week, it's not that I'm out of the game, just busy.

I think Jon is the final round, so you'll only have to vote :)

In a week or so I'll be cleaning out my message box of all pms related to this game - unless you beat me to it. :) I'm only waiting in case questions should arise. Can't foresee what those might be - just being abundantly cautious.

Anyway, HC, won’t we be doing more of this? I enjoyed this game a lot. 

 

You know what would also be fun? Some kinda Christmas related game... would anybody be interested in something like that or people who have actual lives don’t want to play Christmas games?

Thank you!

This game was intended as a one time affair while Castellan is away (hoping she would return and finish the acrophobia game she started). How would one continue? Many of the best known GOT characters are done now. Is there another show we could do, or maybe a movie or movie series? Star Wars? LOTR? Hmmm . . .  might be doable! :)Would you want to host? Or I'd be willing to do it again if there's enough interest. The group did thin out a bit toward the end.

Another thought: ASOIAF characters who are not in GOT, eg Victarion Greyjoy, fAegon Targaryen.

What kind of Christmas game? A Christmas themed elimination game, or maybe a Christmas cast-o-phobia (recasting classic Xmas movies?).
