Jaime's Wench Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 2 per character per book so there isn't 30 Tyrion quotes. :lol:There will be 5 parts to the elimination game (one part for one book), each having around 30 quotes.Sounds good.For Tyrion I want, "All dwarves are bastard's in their father's eyes." or "Then I am not a dwarf" -- or "A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone" or absolutely everything he says during his 'trial' at the Eyrie.Plus Jaime says some witty things about not wishing to be hand of the king before he slings Bran out the window, but I haven't the books at hand to find them.

Leviathan I Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Getting worked up about a fucking place is ridiculous enough but a place where we've never been and have one sentence of description about is fucking beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think there's way too much material if we go for quotes.Of course, we could limit it to those in the wiki. But still, there are so many quotes and that could be a problem to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan I Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Yeah. I think we should let one person pick them all. Otherwise we'll be bickering over them for days. Or maybe one person for each book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrish Swamp Thing Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'd like to see a preliminary list before deciding if there is too many quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime's Wench Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Baggsie Feast since nobody but me likes it. Or we could do Most Annoying characters like I suggested last night, whilst rather drunk.And Leviathan I, whilst I agree that it isn't worth getting worked up over, I think you're being a bit harsh on Juli there.

King Tyrion I Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 That could be a solution, but still... limiting the quotes is a hard work.Speaking of Tyrion: he has so many witty lines - and I like them all - but I personally couldn't possibly limit them. And there's the question of preference. Other people might like other quotes better than the ones I'd choose.I guess the title of the elimination game would be "Best liked quote of ASoIaF", wouldn't it?

TheCrannogDweller Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Maybe you could start by listing the characters, regardless of books? Just pick 15 characters and then choose 2 of their best quotes. Normally, I'd be happy to help with the selection, but I've read the books only once, so I don't think I'm the right person to do it.ETA: You can also limit it to one-liners.

TheCrannogDweller Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Here are some I remember (I'm quoting from memory):"Promise me, Ned.""You know nothing, Jon Snow.""All dwarves are bastards in their fathers' eyes""Valar morghulis.""Valar dohaeris.""It is known.""Jaime Lannister sends his regards." (RW Roose one-liner)"Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold." (although this one isn't part of a dialogue, but rather just a thought in a Tyrion POV)"Hodor." (it just has to be there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaleesiDany Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't know because some really good quotes are not from major characters. You are kind of limiting yourself arbitrarily that way. It's just my opinion. Lord tyrion your list is missing Sandor Clegane, Ygritte or any beyond the wall, any ironborn or dornish characters. I vote do 5 rounds by book. :\ 30 best quotes per book.

KhaleesiDany Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Now we just need to pair each of them with someone and we can do Favorite Ship.I want to do this one ... but there will be some heavy pre-fighting, I think. Only canon to semi-canon ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Right.I thought of Sandor - we could add him nevertheless. And you're right again. I missed the Dornish characters, but like I said - my list is open to discussion, and I don't have much time today. I need to leave to go to work soon.

Myrish Swamp Thing Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I guess having a separate thread to sort out the Quotes EG would be nice, maybe we can entertain ourselves with a different one while we work that out. I thought we had agreed on splitting the Quotes (one game per book, then perhaps a final game with the top choices). I support this arrangement.

Jaime's Wench Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Canon or semi-canon ships, where is the fun in that? I want to do Asha/Jaime lol!EDIT: Since I suggested it, I will create the 'preparing Best Quote eg' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
