@Kepotx You Ser, I like you!!!! Man do you know, you can get TWOW artifact in the game :D?
@Kepotx He took their crowns as well. But nobody knows what happened to them. Well nobody knows what happened to the crown of winter.
Aegon made them all surrender their crowns. So game is kinda correct that presumably, they were all locked up somewhere in the treasury so Targs should have them as artifacts
@Edlothiad Actually it is incredibly faithful to the books. You even get something as minor as Harren's curse
Start playing as Lord of Harrenhal. And watch your progeny die in freak accidents or just sudden weird sickness. With age, you will soon have the problem of "Receding hairline heirline"
But it's not endorsed by GRRM so of course it's not canon. But that doesn't make it fan-fic. It is extremely thorough
@Kepotx Yeah they tried that. And failed. Rhaenys died in one such bombing mission
@Edlothiad Sure. We are in agreement on that
Just pointing out it doesn't make changes like D&D like to do. They make do just in the cases where George is silent i.e. lineage of lords stretching all the way back to their founders.
I didn't say it was a "fan-fic", I merely compared it to the canonicity of a fan-fic based on the argument that it's "based on a book"
Well for D&D it's the matter of making a hit TV show with something that was never meant to be adapted by the screen, and then getting ahead of the books and having to make things up to continue the story. I understand why things have to change, they could've just changed them better.
Thanks in part to that Northern houses question about honour, not that I know what else to add. I could look through the 5.25 books for the phrase "honour" but effort
Maybe SE should give a badge to people with positive score questions which get closed as dupe
To make them know dupes aren't bad
Something like "Great minds think alike"
But that would be easily gameable
Find an already asked question. Show genuine research in a new question asking the same thing. Get closed or comment "oops, found the answer". Get the badge
I was going through the stats, and it appears there are some long time users with substantial rep that don't vote, or vote very seldom. We all like rep. It gives us the privileges and badges that drive the site. If you take the time to answer or ask questions and enjoy the fruit of doing so, why ...
@Kepotx To be fair I'm never really around at that time :P For your question there are more in Essos but they're not relevant to the story so we don't hear about them
@Kepotx They did try that but the Dornish fled the cities and lived off the land. Then ambushed any men coming into Dorne by foot, I think
@Edlothiad Lol cos I'm awesome, even James Gunn replied to me yesterday though looking through his twitter he's quite good at replying to people
@Edlothiad I doubt GRRM had the Vietnam war in his head when he wrote it though, probably more the Scottish guerrilla warfare on the Romans at Hadrians Wall
He may have gotten something like 30-50 letters per week at the peak, and most of these things happened in the 40s and 50s when not many people would be sending letters to authors, so when someone sent in a book I believe he provided a sketch and put it in a book plate
Or wrote a note and signed the plate and sent it back
Cuz what are the odds someone would pay the 8 shillings it cost to post a book to oxford?
Also No doubt the boy had made the mistake of thinking that the Night's Watch was made up of men like his uncle. If so, Yoren and his companions were a rude awakening. Tyrion felt sorry for the boy. He had chosen a hard life … or perhaps he should say that a hard life had been chosen for him.
That's the quote I was thinking of sort of answers for you
> "It's also a recognition that the wall has helped protect the North from wildling invasions much more recently than when the Others were las seen. It's an honorable calling for a younger son, who otherwise has few prospects, to take the black because of this history"
@Edlothiad I like how the answer begins. That's definitely true. We all like rep. isn't simply true and enjoy the fruit of doing so, the fruit is different for each one of us.
@Aegon Sure but if you look at one of the top users, they have 480 upvotes, being a member for 3.5 years, and a hyper active member for at least 12 of those months. Having received themselves over 10000 upvotes.
Just seems like some people are unwilling to congratulate the efforts of others.
Well I wouldn't say I am just unwilling. I primarily vote only in asoiaf and got tags. Other than that, I do show appreciation in form of bounties as well
And in those tags too, I mostly UV only the questions which are really interesting and answers which leave me saying "Boy, I can't add anything here"
I mean to each their own. I see an upvote as having little value, so I cast it when I see a question I thought "interesting observation" and the answer seems right and answers my curiosity
Hmm, I love the small hints to future events/revelations that are in the books
Each time I reread I find new things
> Sansa Stark, that ought to put a smile on Tyrion's face. He remembered how happy his brother had been with his little crofter's daughter . . . for a fortnight.
Language is universal, you merely chose to portray your feelings in what we call English.
Whether it says "I find new things every time" or "Mahita zava-baovao aho isaky ny mandeha" makes no difference.

Back to what I wanted to say!
> Install an external script or plugin to block the HNQ bar: More of a workaround than a solution, and moves the problem to the user while the source should be fixed.
Spoilers aren't a problem with the system, they're a problem with the individual users who fear "spoilers", silly goose.
@Edlothiad an appropriate response to this would be to point out that if I take something ridiculous on the website, such as that comment, and demand it to be hidden, that it is me that has the problem, and not the site. Ergo, that I should adjust my expectations.
Then continue to argue that demanding the HNQ list to be hidden falls under 'something ridiculous'
This has been a problem for several years now, and it doesn't look like we're closer to a solution. So:
Let's ban at least Movies, Scifi and Arqade from the HNQ sidebar
Feel free to suggest other sites too.
While it has some negative effect on exchanging traffic between network sites, I think ...
That's my rule. I don't care if it didn't come out in your country that you're in, you live in the wrong country. If you had "work" or whatever. If you really cared that much, you would've seen it ASAP
Something that I always found strange in Planetos is the fact that each religion seems united : there is no Eastern Church of the Sevens opposed to Western Church of the Sevens for exemple.
This is odd to me, as when we see real life example, as Christianity or Islam, there are lots of different...
@Kepotx Precisely but that's because they didn't topple the Pope. They just went the way of schism. Sparrows made their leader the Pope i.e. The High Septon

yep, i consider @Aegon answer as sincretism example, but still a good example. The question was more about the "staticity" of religion in Planetos, so it cover what i want
@Edlothiad "I see an upvote as having little value" - Edlothiad (Few Hours Ago). For a guy who thinks of a UV as having lil value, you do think a lot before doing it :D
