Ummm Aegon, are you feeling ill?

@NSNoob LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

NSNoob

@Edlothiad Idk there's something funny going on with my username here

My parent user is still SFF in chat

Edlothiad

I know, weird.

NSNoob

But somehow it is using my History SE name and avatar

Nope, still that

TheLethalCarrot

Aeg's a chat noob

> I can’t pretend to have read every book on the list… but I’m going to do my best to fill in the gaps in the months to come.

georgerrmartin.com/notablog

Oh no you bloody well won't. You've got a book to write, my son. I've been promised books and I want books.

JAD

lol 50 shades of grey is on there

Edlothiad

I know, pretty poor lol

I hat a solid 6% of those books read

Although ASOIAF and LotR should count as more than 1% because just reading through both is like reading through some of the classics 15 times over...

JAD

can't really make out the titles, but I read at least 8

1984, Da Vinci Code, GoT, HP, Hunger games, Jurassic park, LotR, To Kill a Mockingbird

Edlothiad

@JAD pbs.org/the-great-american-read/quiz

JAD

yep, 8

if we don't count watching movie adaptations

Edlothiad

08:27

Lol I'd be at like 80 then haha

JAD

hmm me not so much xd

I don't know 50%+ of the titles tbh

@Edlothiad I guess the same can be said about WoT

Edlothiad

WoT should account for like 50% of the reading time

Dune as well

I think I know 80% of the titles

NSNoob

Catelyn Stark?

huh

It worked this time

TheLethalCarrot

Oh he's back

Edlothiad

He's Aegon Aegain

Aegon

Had already written a meta post, was just getting screenshots and for the heck of it, I tried changing my parent user one more time and it worked. I have never been more pissed at a bug resolving itself

TheLethalCarrot

09:42

Hahaaha, those are the worst ones where it all just works again

I've never been more annoyed than one day spending the whole day debugging the service for it to just work again at some point with no changes

JAD

scary stuff, especially when it happens in a controlled environment

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah of course

Kepotx

10:09

@TheLethalCarrot the scariest part is that it can break again without any changes

TheLethalCarrot

Exactly

Edlothiad

Schrödinger's bug

TheLethalCarrot

Aye

Kepotx

10:29

which one is the worst, "why does this work? it's not supposed to work!" or "why doesn't this work? it's supposed to work!"?

Edlothiad

The latter

I ignore the former until it stops

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I'd rather work out why something isn't working

Edlothiad

@Edlothiad 2038, go to georgerrmartin.com/notablog => "I know I said the same thing in 2037, but if the writing goes well, we can hope for The Winds of Winter release this year"

but hey, maybe Fire and Blood will be released

Q: Did Varys set Tyrion up?

I figured this would've been asked already, but I couldn't find it when searching. In A Storm of Swords, But a few things seem off at the surface. Also This implies to me that Varys may have manipulated things to get Tyrion into a certain emotional state to become his unwitting tool....

JAD

hmm, that sounds like a duplicate

TheLethalCarrot

Q: Why did Tyrion visit his father's chambers in Season 4?

In season four, episode 10, in which Tyrion Lannister was in prison for possibly killing Joffrey, eventually his brother Jaime set him free and told him to go through a door and up the steps where Varys will be waiting to lead him to freedom. But instead, Tyrion headed to his father's chambers. ...

Q: What's the deal with Shae? (Spoilers)

So my question: How long was that going on? Did he know from the start? If not, when did he find out?

a-song-of-ice-and-fire

Q: Why was Shae in the Tower of the Hand?

I haven't read the books (yet?), but I have been watching and re-watching and re-watching again, the show. And nowhere since he first appeared on the screen Tywin Lannister seemed like the kind of person who will use the service of a whore. Let alone share one with his son. But sure enough, from...

game-of-thrones a-song-of-ice-and-fire george-r-r-martin

Can't find a proper dupe at the moment, though I haven't properly read those 3 to find out if they're dupes or not

JAD

I remember some post suggesting that the room was prepped. The chest placed perfectly so Tyrion could reach the xbow, that kinda thing

can't find it though

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah all those theories

Aegon

14:01

Shae was pretty surprised to find Tyrion

TheLethalCarrot

@TheLethalCarrot This one seems very dupey but I'm not 100%

JAD

i'm not sure howmuch Shae's surprise says about Varys' intentions

TheLethalCarrot

Well yeah she might not have known about Varys plan

Aegon

Varys sure was playing a secret game

TheLethalCarrot

Is asoiaf borken for anyone else?

Aegon

14:06

It can be closed as per FWP imo

JAD

hmm, anything Varys says can be seen in two lights

1) he's talking the truth 2) he's using reverse psychology

I think Jaime's story really was the final straw, and I doubt Varys foresaw that

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Nopes, working

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Close it then :P And I shall refrain from answering

Aegon

@JAD Indeed, but Jaime's story aside, Varys may have expected Tyrion to do something.....rash

@TheLethalCarrot Nah, I am not in the mood of arguing so you can do the honors if you agree :D

JAD

@Aegon would he have wanted anything rash other than Tywin's death?

TheLethalCarrot

14:08

@Aegon Lol, I'll take an answer instead then :P

JAD

I'd say he had more value in Tyrion alive than Tywin dead

Aegon

@JAD Tyrion has too much of Tywin inside him, that's more or less public knowledge for those with eyes to see, Tyrion himself acknowledged as much

Kepotx

@JAD still a good thing to make cersei mad and bring chaos

Aegon

And Tywin would never have walked away without a fight

But why have Tyrion do it?

Little birds could have done it and Cersei would still blame Tyrion

JAD

that's my point. Having Tyrion go up there is very very risky

Kepotx

14:10

I see it as a gift to Tyrion

Aegon

So getting Tyrion to do it personally was not important for the plan at all. Assuming there was a plan after all

JAD

is that worth the failure of that endeavour

Aegon

God some of the Freefolks have really weird ideas

And they think those are facts

Get a load of this

"Wardens are essentially royals and they can legitimise bastards"

JAD

wat

Aegon

reddit.com/r/freefolk/comments/8eaea1/…

Feast your eyes

JAD

14:13

eh

also, who says Jon is WotN?

He's a part of the rebel alliance and a traitor

he should be taken away

btw, how do you call having someone at gunpoint with a crossbow?

Kepotx

did I miss a joke with Martha?

Edlothiad

@JAD bowpoint

Aegon

@Kepotx "Fleak of Boatsex baby's name" - Edlothiad

@JAD Didn't Dany offer that position to Jon in their initial negotiations?

My memory of the show is kinda hazy

JAD

@Aegon oh possibly

Edlothiad

Yes

I just got a downvote, why?!

Aegon

14:27

@Edlothiad Because you root for the Starks and deserve every downvote for that sin

TheLethalCarrot

DV on what though?

A: How did Jaime Lannister know his new Valyrian steel sword was freshly forged?

This seems to be an oversight in the TV Show Note: I am not a sword smith or a metallurgist. The only thing that would seem to set a freshly forged sword apart from an older sword is the sharpness of the blade, it's strength, as well as any nooks in the steel from clashing with other swords, h...

@Edlothiad UV'd, move on now.

JAD

Don't you know that sweet smell when you unwrap a new sword?

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon I was too lazy to look myself, thanks :P

Edlothiad

@Aegon just because I’m not on the Targaryen band wagon...

Aegon

14:31

@Edlothiad Then get onboard

TheLethalCarrot

Posted an answer to that Q now anyway, longer than I thought it would be

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Add George's comment on the Theory that Tywin was a secret patron of Chataya's maybe?

TheLethalCarrot

Oh aye let me find the SSM

Added

I swear everytime I search SSM I either end up with Asshai.com Forum Chat or Many Questions haha

Edlothiad

14:49

@Aegon lol

TheLethalCarrot

15:09

9 answer to go now for ASOIAF

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Want an easy one which will most likely go into HNQ?

"What did Renly's Peach mean?"

Plus it has a WoG answer, so expect Updoots from that too

Though there might be some backlash from the veterans

Given that the WoG is on Wiki

:D

Pros and cons

Must say though, you're holding it together pretty well. I started doing shitty answers just to get the count

Edlothiad

So like he did with GoT? Lol

TheLethalCarrot

Oh that's just mean ;P

@Aegon This new ones in the HNQ now though so will wait if I do post it haha

JAD seems to be doing better than me though -_- haha

And if I d post it it will have to wait a bit cos I'm going to make a tea :P
