voodooqueen126 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hmm. Any college graduate could, intellectually, rock the westerosi world. Any kid who played total war could reform military tactics. I'd sell myself as a counsellor, though I'd get my foot in the door with gunpowder, which is actually stupidly easy to make (I am a black powder shooter/enthusiast). I'd hope to wear my signet ring that day, as a gold ring and my prep-school beaten-into-me English would pass for a "noble education" by Westerosi standards. Hell, basic cell theory would give Pycelle a raging brainer...Further, with a copy of the books, one could be considered prophetic. For one, I'd have one of my new "grenades" stuck in Varys' mouth in open court. I'm sure Tywin would pay a small fortune for information concerning his assassination. As an arms dealer now, I'd ask for a line of credit from the Treasury for an enterprise in gunpowder, to be sold as enormous mark-up to any sovereign state. With a living Tywin, the war to come would be far bloodier. And bloody wars maketh a rich lord of war!. And I'd introduce the concept of sushi. That too.and gun powder would eventually destroy feudalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woman of War Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 And I'd introduce the concept of sushi.

The Bloody Boar Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 As a liberal arts graduate I have no useful knowledge or skills so little chance of surviving. I suppose I could try to gain audience with the king and present him with the Swiss army knife, chocolate and smartphone. He might be amused enough to give me a gift worth a few shekels.

ost Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Go West, 'wash up' at Lannisport and claim to be from across the Sunset Sea with all my alien stuff. Make money as a novelty and then use my knowledge of economics to become a wealthy trader. The only problem with that is that I might end up working for Lannisters, but I could always move somewhere, probably to White Harbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofStark Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 i actually don't have any transferable skills to fantasy middle ages. yes i know how important it is to practice good hygiene, but i don't know how to make anti-bacterial..well anything. i'm aware of how important market economies are to production and quality of life, but i don't know how to transform a feudal economy or even how to start a proper capitalist market either. these are the things i do know:i know how to use a computer (but i can't build one)i'm a proficient reader (but i'm not a good writer)i can make a pretty decent tuna steak with mango salsa (but i don't know how to acquire any of the ingredients without first visiting a market)i have a vast assortment of trivial and mostly useless knowledge, which is like being a jeopardy contestant in a desertin summation. if i were dropped in the middle of the 7 kingdoms i'd probably die. also, you probably would too.

We would charm the proud noblemen and the emerging bourgeoisie with flattering but realistic portraits. More realistic for the proud influential men and more idealized for the ladies, who are not allowed individuality.There is money in it - and a bit of thrill and danger as well, just the way I like it.

Lord Ravenfrost Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well for starters I'd turn off my phone because the thing would die in like 4-5 hours after arriving. Then I would take whatever coins in my pocket and try to book passage to Oldtown, after doing that I would enroll myself as a novice at the citadel and start learning how things work in Westeros especially magic now that it has a more active role than previously. I would not forge a full chain but gather enough knowledge to be formidable then I'd wander around as a hedge wizard. I would stay the hell out of King's Landing at all costs and well away from any Lannisters, Boltons, or Freys. If that didn't pan out I'd make for Bravvos and write plays for a mummers troupe.

Alexia Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I would make somebody an excellent steward. I could introduce a new classical dance form to Westeros as a dance instructor. I could marry some merchant and make him very wealthy through my business acumen. I could work as a scribe. I can do very nice embroidery so I could work for a seamstress. I am an excellent cook.You liberal arts graduates have no respect for your own skills. :( Prostitution, indeed. *huffs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell_Awaits Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think I'm screwed from the start since I'm a woman. That means I can`t try and make it for the Wall nor Oldtown. It's a fucked up situation.The chocolate would be useful for nourishment. The smartphone is as good as"nipples on a breastplate" since once the battery goes out there are no means to charge it again. The swiss army knife and rubber bands could help building a refuge in the wild and perhaps do some hunting. ( a What would Bear Grylls do? sort of thing...) Or I could try to find a sept and ask for help there, with some assault-disgrace made up story of course. Quite scary actually. Just a highborn looking and educated wench with no money(21st c. currency is of doubtful use here) no name, no titles, no family, no friends, no means of defending herself (neither weapons nor escorts), no horse, no food, no water, with queer clothes(say a pair of jeans, snickers and metal band t-shirt) and close to King's Landing. The way I see it, the best options are to try and become a septa or a serving girl. Perhaps I'll end up in some castle with good food and a roof on my head teaching some lord's kids or mopping floors or cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B'uckles Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sell the exciting, novel , but essentially useless, cellphone-while it's still charged- for money to buy some charcoal and parchment, and start drawing portraits of people for some more cash. Make the rounds of the castles (on my newly purchased horse) painting portraits of your various lords and ladies. They are going to love me, cause they don't seem to have my sort of artist around at all in Westeros. (Apparently they have sculptors, but we don't meet them.) Maybe when the fancy folks get to know my work, I'll get some commissions for murals and the like. I'll meet all sorts of interesting people, and probably get fed pretty well and put up in said castles while I do my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually never noticed that...You hear a good bit about sculptures, carvings, and tapestries, but I can`t remember any mention of painting or large drawings...There were charcoal drawings of the seven in the sept that Catelyn prayed in when she went to visit Renly, but apart from that I can't think of any.
