@Randal'Thor There's more than just Gold tag badges... There's gold badges in general too
@Aegon That's why we go to the freefolk. All this "Spoilers discussion", "Spoilers ADWD" Just say what you have to say and if you see a spoiler well then stiffen that upper lip
@Aegon Tywin got lucky bro
He was getting old and slow and was lucky his daughter is a volatile psychopath and got rid of Bobby B before Bobby B got rid of him.
@Randal'Thor But then how's he supposed to increase his review count and carry out the mission his overlords sent him to do?! You're not saying he should be using the Skip button! God the horrors of entertaining that idea!
Well considering I was just winding you up, I don't think you have to worry too much
Debate on if BR is 3EC:
> As I said, you guys pretty much went over the for and against arguments. To me, the against are stronger. But it's a matter of opinion. I think that GRR's style is so nuanced that this kind of confusion isn't a coincidence.
"GRRM is such a great author that the theories I believe must be right because he's so amazing" come on...
Not everything is some ridiculous ploy to trick a reader.
Before I break my laptop, I'm going back to the Ssansa appreciation thread.
Hmm, so in aSoS there is a Bran chapter about the Knight of the Laughing Tree, in which a story about the tournament at Harrenhal is told. Without any names. Is there already a question to link the characters in that story to names?
> "Two," said Meera. "The she-wolf laid into the squires with a tourney sword, scattering them all. The crannogman was bruised and bloodied, so she took him back to her lair to clean his cuts and bind them up with linen. There he met her pack brothers: the wild wolf who led them, the quiet wolf beside him, and the pup who was youngest of the four.
In Bran II from a Storm of Swords, Meera Reed tells a story about the Knight of the Laughing Tree. In this story, no names are mentioned, only descriptions of the characters. While it is already established that the Crannogman is Holwand Reed, it is unclear to me who all of the other characters a...
@Edlothiad Those are cheaper though. Every active/high-rep user has some gold badges, but only about a dozen all told on this site have gold tag badges.
@Edlothiad I dunno if he cares all that much about increasing his review count. Projection much? ;-)
@TheLethalCarrot Yeah that's the point. It's not usable. I just needed to get it off my back for a while. Bug fixing is legit time spent, otherwise "you are taking too long"
My own fault tho. I worked just 4 days out of the 2 weeks
Lets not have this pointless Spam vs VTD discussion in here again, I'll note that we've had it twice already. There's a Trash compactor channel for such chatter.
@Edlothiad I use that button more liberally than you seem to think... although I do admit that I more often just close the tab rather than pressing Skip.
@TheLethalCarrot Yoren takes the King's Road on his tour. And knows Lady Shella Whent IIRC. That could be his designated region. Crownlands and Riverlands
Well I initially thought it was just a thing people say but on re-reading and seeing Ramsays uncle beat his mum because of it there must be something about them that's distinctive
@Skooba mmhm I don't know you always here people saying the baby has your eyes in our world so I think Roose might be able to tell from them. It's others that didn't know him telling that says he has something about them.
@JarkoDubbeldam People believe he is the gravedigger but it's not confirmed
I just realised today I'd read that somebody used the following argument that the claim the Bloodraven is 3EC in on of the appendices/index is misguided.
"In the appendices Jon is listed as Robb's half-brother"
He was arguing that the 3EC isn't definitely the BR even though one of the appendices/indices say he is, because in the same appendix/index they make the claim that Jon is Robb's half-brother
Michele Clapton was the costume designer for Game of Thrones from Season 1 to Season 5 and won two awards during her time working for the show. In an interview she has said that the idea behind the White Walker's clothing/armour was that they stole them from another civilazation,
And while th...
I've got a new question coming but it's probably a self answer when I track the source of a quote but it's fair game as I'm only going to start looking when I post the Q
In Season 1 of Game of Thrones we only ever see the shadowy figure of the White Walkers as they are running and when one confronts Will and Gared.
When I watched the prologue back, at around 5:41 in this clip, you do see a very quick glimpse of a White Walkers face as it kills Ser Waymar Royce...
White Walkers in the first and second season were nearly naked.
This guy from the start of the first season wears a raggy loin cloth, a vambrace, and boots. His three brothers in the background wear similar loin cloths and nothing on their chests.
This walker from the end of the second season...
I've only answered from a physical point of view, didn't take me too long to track the interview down in the end, I'll leave the clothes point to the other question.
Not much point, making it general only serves as a purpose to close the other one and repeat information. Also a general one moves away from the point of the question as in Season 2 they aren't wearing the armour yet.
And my question is about the changes from season 1 to the later seasons
Also that interview I link to is annoying cos the guy keeps calling the wights zombies even though he states on his first mention they're called wights -_-
@Edlothiad Haha, I didn't need to include those parts luckily, when I read the interview to look for anything else that was relevant though it was annoying
I should really have left my Q open for longer before self answering, oh well
I know, I thought the Q might get some updoots wasn't really thinking the A would. My fault for self answering so soon I suppose as soon as that happens people stop voting as much
@JarkoDubbeldam An estimate put it to around 14 I think but that's all we've seen
