House Velaryon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The worst thing? Even with all the preachy lectures in the books, I would have forgiven it if he'd actually unleashed all the power RR supposedly had in an epic war scene. Instead he makes an overpowered character then proceeds to gimp him in one way or another in every book! I like my overpowered characters to only be gimped when an even more powerful one steps on their toes! :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Corbray Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 So...not much has happened since I checked in yesterday, eh? Seems like we are some kind of alted literature thread. Well I suppose I may as well go along with it - I've bought for myself an Abercrombie book which I am reading at the moment - I'm quite enjoying it so far, but I wouldn't say that it is superbly amazing (but then I'm not really a big fantasy fan anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. :smoking: [quote name='House Karstark']Seems like we are some kind of alted literature thread.[/quote] I tried to get some serious discussion going, but nobody seems interested. Abercrombie's first book is nothing special. Unusually for fantasy authors, however, he gets better as the series goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Yronwood Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm a big fan of the usual suspects (Abercrombie, Bakker, Martin, Lynch, Erikson). However, more on topic, I'm trying to think if there is a serious reason as to why someone would choose me as unlynchable. My efforts so far have come out with: because I am loved.

Trouble is, short of a reveal, which would most likely be very inadvisable, there's not much we can find out. Varner seems to have implied that it wasn't anything he chose, so logically it was either random or he was protected by someone. We have been told that roles are distributed randomly, (I seem to remember reading this in a mod post) so it would seem that Varner's inability to be lynched today gives us little real information. Now if you want to get some serious conversation going about something a bit more...controversial...then that would be a good idea. I would, but I don't have time today.

Has anyone come across a specific day lynchproof ability before and if so, do the mods tell you they can't be lynched? If not, then I think someone has used a role reveal ability.

So far I'm not liking the main character (Corwin) too much, which is a bit annoying. As far as "seriousness" goes I think Chester implied that his vote on Glover was for hopping from Dondarrion to Varner (trying to push a popular lynch?).

Anyway, it's normally limited, because protecting someone from a lynch everyday is pretty hardcore. Imagine a symp or a partnered bad guy getting the role. If the role is indeed limited then whoever got it must have just thought Varner was fun and protected him? Or maybe they thought he was in serious danger of being lynched and they wanted him alive for darker reasons? I wouldn't mind lynching him tomorrow, if we can.
