Well, the other significant part of it was that the Iron Bank guy has a ton of money - but yes, that's why I was asking.

And that he brought Theon and Jenye(?), so Ramsay would send a message to Jon.

Also, Jon's sword (valyrian steel (good for killing Others)) was quenched in the blood of his chick, just like AA.

In Ygiritte? I think she was killed by an arrow, by someone other than Jon. Because he used widling arrows, and she was shot with a Night Watch arrow (if I remember correctly). Arya, the Faceless Girl are shite. I thought it were boring in AFFC, and it was the worst part of ADWD, even worse than the Tyrion chapters (:/WHERE DO WHORES GO ISHOTMYFATHERWITHACROSSBOWANDHEDIDN'TSHITGOLDILLKILLMYSISTER :/)

Regarding the letter:

I think the most plausible explanation is that Ramsay captured one of the spearwives and tortured her; and sent the letter before everyone in Winterfell turned on each other when "Arya" was gone. It's pretty fitting for GURM, having stupid and rash desicions that have huge consequences (like Joff beheading Ned).

Robert just said "gently caress it, I'm not good at this" and got other people to do the hard stuff for him though. Comparing him to Dany is like comparing a housefire with a raging wildfire. Neither are good rulers, but Dany is miles worse than any ruler we've seen or heard about other than Aegon. Even Jeoffrey was at least somewhat checked by Tyrion and others.

No, Ramsay is worse. Dany is boring to read, but not that bad a leader. She just wants the Ghiscari/Free States to stop slavery... And I can personaly agree to that slavery isn't a good thing. The trouble stems from rich people, not happy with not being that rich any more... And loosing a war off course. If someone should be called bad leaders, it would be the old Great Masters of Mereen that crusifed hundreds of babies; provoking the girl with the unsullied army and dragons that had just destroyed that other town where the unsullieds were made.

In book 6 Darkstar hooks up with Chella and no one in Westeros is getting out of this with both ears intact.

Then Zombie Gregor, Zombie Cat, and Zombie Jon all rise up against him and bite Darkstar, who, because GRRM loves defying conventions, dies from the bite, but DOESN'T resurrect.

Meanwhile, Bran wargs into Dany right as Daario is nailing her in the pooper, and he decides he never wants to warg again and all the weirwoods die, removing the Others' source of power.

Lastly, Tommen "Ralph Wiggum" Lannister appoints Ser Pounce to the Kingsguard in place of Kettleblack, and Sansa and Arya and Littlefinger raid King's Landing, and Tommen is beheaded by Ser Pounce in an ironic twist. We then find out Varys was behind the whole thing. Because Varys is actually the mad king Aerys Targaryen in disguise (we never saw them in the same place).

In fact all the Targaryens are alive. Except for Viserys. He's a zombie.

... But then the nWo, who's been tearing poo poo up in Valariya (they caused the doom), with Hollowood Hogan in front, comes in and just throws everyone into the bay of seals, and they fart on them! But Shawn Michals turn on them 'cause he wants to sit in the iron throne himself! But then Vince Russo shows up with a TANK!

SWIRVE!

Calef posted:

This reminded me how Tyrion, I think, in this book pointed out the mystery that the Valyrians certainly knew that Westeros was there, and ruled an empire extending over most of the world for thousands of years, and they had dragons this entire time, but no Valyrians attempted to invade Westeros at any point. Then after te Doom, the Targaryens are pretty much the only remaining Valyrians we know about, and they finally invade.

It is implied in the text that there must be some kind of mysterious explanation for this. My guess is that the Valyrians knew that the Great Other was on Westeros and were keeping away.

I guess that Westeros, who hadn't seen any dragons, were alot easier to conquer for three people than the "old" empire were.

Something else is bugging me. If Varys is working with Illyrio and has been supporting Dany all along, why did he actually carry out Robert's orders to assassinate her?
Maybe because Viserys were still alive by that point? And Aegon were chilling with Jon Cockington.

Whole thing into Cockney rhyming slang, eh?

I was just making a general observation, anyway. The first book just came out in Norwegian and was split in two volumes even for the hardcover edition, I'm going to check it out just because the translators are two old high school gaming buddies of mine and I'm curious to see if my homies did a good job.

All I needed to see is they named part 2 "Kampen om jerntrona" (The fight for the Iron Throne) to realize that they too, are absolute fuckers.

gently caress you GRRM. You've basically broken me so bad that when I see incest in books now, I'm just going to go "meh." gently caress you so much. I should be grossed out and reviled, but nope. Your shitdick has been shoved so far down my throat that I don't even give a gently caress anymore.

I'm aware of that reasoning, but that makes them no less lovely people.

Eh, Russia was a very lovely place to live in the beginning of the 20th century, and alot of 13 year olds etc starved to death every day under the mismanagment of the Czar. I don't condone it, but it was a hard life back then. As much as it's useless to apply modern day morale to GURM, it's equally useless to apply modern, western morale, to pre-industrial Russia.

Were the children innocent? Yes.
Were they innocent by Russian standards in 1917, when serfs still were punished for their grandparents imaginary slights towards a nobles grandfather back in the middle of the 19th century? No.

I disagree. Injustice doesn't become justice simply because it's the norm and widely accepted. Guess I'll have to be Stannis here.

Oh, it's still injustice. But you still need to see it in context of early 20th century Russia. Life were cheap back then, and everyone got jugded by their families. That doesn't mean the people were necessarily lovely, even if they did an isolated lovely thing, that just made them pragmatic.

Actually, killin the rest of the Czar familiy propably saved a few thousand lifes because it didn't leave the Whites in the ensuing civil war with a figure head.

edit: Speakin of injustice. Remember again that pre-revolution Russia was a serfdom, where basicly everyone who weren't a noble were slaves. I bet alot of those pre-teen serfs got executed regulary without being guilty in anything regulary.
