redriver Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Was reading this exchange between Prince Oberyn and Tyrion in ASOS.Oberyn-"I preferred to amuse myself by mocking my sister's suitors.There was Little Lord Lazyeye,Squire Squishlips,and one I named the Whale That Walks,that sort of thing.The only one who was even halfway presentable was young Baelor Hightower.A pretty lad,and my sister was half in love with him until he had the misfortune to fart once in our presence.I promptly named him Baelor Breakwind,and after that Elia couldn't look at him without laughing".Yes,Tyrion agreed silently.Baelor Hightower was no longer young,but he remained Lord Leyton's heir...Baelor Brightsmile they called him now.Had she wed him in place of Rhaegar Targaryen,she might be in Oldtown with her children growing tall around her.He wondered how many lives had been snuffed out by that fart.When I stopped laughing I started wondering if there are any more seemingly inconsequential events that had major repercussions in the books.Over to you..

brashcandy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Interesting topic! :)Hmmm, I don't know if any of these can be counted as "inconsequential" but I do wonder about how many lives might have been saved if Hoster Tully had allowed Lysa to keep her baby. One life might have prevented the death of thousands.Another one is Tyrion's "advice" to Aegon about not going to Dany. A random conversation that might impact seriously on Dany's conquest.

A random conversation that might impact seriously on Dany's conquest.Which may have started with Oberyn drinking wine before his dual with Ser Gregor.Had he not done so,he might have treated Gregor with a bit more respect for his danger and killed him.Tyrion is free.Doesn't flee to Pentos,meet YG.Yg continues on to Mereen etc.How many people did that wine kill......or save?

brashcandy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Robert's whoring - Lyanna doesn't get disillusioned, actually falls in love with him, doesn't run off with Rhaegar, Brandon is never killed, the mad king dies of old age and the Targ dynasty lives on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 A few bratty squires behave better at the Harrenhal tourney, civil war possibly averted. Is it any wonder their knights were a Frey, a Blount and a Haigh, or at least sworn to those houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Baratheon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Renly's dick was to flaccid to fuck margary and get her with heir..in which case after renly's death, tyrells would have allied with Robb on the condition that renly's heir becomes king and would have crushed the lannisters...If renly had a daughter,she would have married rickon and probably produced more puppies..How many lives did that dick kill?

It's very possible that if it wasn't for the Knight of the Laughing Tree thing, he never would have met her or noticed her at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brashcandy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ...And Gendry is never born and doesn't go on to sit the Iron Throne with Queen Arya...!!No, no. Mya Stone is never born, so there's no one to escort Cat across the dangerous mountain path to the Eyrie. She has to turn back, uses the extra time to go home early and Robb never marches :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If Tyrion stayed at a different inn:- Cat never would have kidnapped him.- Ned would have been able to flee KL.- The War of the 5 Kings would have been averted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net-Viper X Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 What a pathetic loser to rip a fart that just makes the girls giggle. If that was one of my farts, every person in the room would have realised that they no longer had ear drums... after they woke from their comas.

Cap Ou Pas Cap Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great topic. Tyrion and the inn take the cake for me.To try and add to the list:Jaime goes boar hunting with Robert and Eddard (no fall for Bran, no later assasination attempt, no dagger, no kidnapping of Tyrion etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Baratheon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Lets go further back inorder to avert the war of the 5 kings:If brandon had killed LF in their duel...If barristan hadnt saved Aerys,rhaegar could have married whoever he wantedIf Egg told "Fuck u!" to that old bitch and didnt try to burn summerhall,Prince duncan's heirs would have become kings and no Aerys/Dany/Viserys BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qhorin Halfhand and Yoren Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Bran doesn't find Jamie and Cersei having sex. Littlefinger's father does not befriend Hoster Tully Eddard Stark dies in the battle of the tournament of the Joy Robert does not die against the boar. Robb does not send Theon to the Iron Islands Jamie finds and kills Arya back in the whole direwolf/Joffrey crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
