2:00 PM

An old man talking about something from legends and abandoning his mission, doesn't really need any more investigation imo.

Consider this, a modern day soldier abandons his mission in combatzone and then claims that he ran to save his life from Ghosts

What would the High command make of it?

Start an inquiry about ghosts?

Or just put it down to either he's mad or he's lying.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah but Jeor doesn't know he was babbling about the Others does he?

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Don't recall that. I don't think it's mentioned if Eddard sent a detailed account in a letter with the head

TheLethalCarrot

So I suppose it really depends on whether he knew that or not

Edlothiad

Ye but, OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Aegon

It would be expected of him I suppose to explain the manner of death of a NW member. But he's second only to the King, in the North so one shouldn't presume to expect things from him

TheLethalCarrot

2:03 PM

I was coming from the opinion he doesn't know

He'd probably just say caught a deserter killed him

Edlothiad

"In the North" needs to be moved to the start of the sentence (after but or remove but) or a comma added after "North"

TheLethalCarrot

I doubt he'd tell him he was babbling about Others

Aegon

You are forgetting however, Jeor handpicked all the members

All were known to be loyal and good NW men

Including Will

@Edlothiad meh too lazy

TheLethalCarrot

I don't see where you're going with this

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot I am suggesting that whatever is true for Gared is also true for Will

Edlothiad

2:05 PM

BOOM

Aegon

Will's desertion should have started a similar inquiry as Gared's should have done according to you

Edlothiad

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Oh yeah for some reason I was of the impression he'd only done a handful of rangings

Not 100+

Aegon

He was younger than Gared so presumably had less experience

TheLethalCarrot

I withdraw my comment but the premise is still the same with how long Gared has been on the Wall

Aegon

2:08 PM

But Jeor explicitly says he chose those men himself based on their performance

Edlothiad

Aegon

Plus I doubt D&D gave it so much thought as you have

TheLethalCarrot

That's a given though haha

Aegon

They probably thought, "Yeah it seems more natural for the comparatively Rookie to run, let's do this. George is such an idiot, making Gared run pfft".

Edlothiad

Holy cow, /r/reactiongifs top 5 posts of all time just nearly made me die of laughter

Aegon

2:11 PM

@Edlothiad searching

Edlothiad

These were two of them

The dog was too funny

I wanted to keep up with the conversation by just posting reaction gifts, but I could barely hold back my laughter, I had to stop

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

Edlothiad

I did work just to not die

That dog still kills me.

That one with the cat and being picked up at 6 am is soo funny

TheLethalCarrot

That's a dog, isn't it?

Edlothiad

Oh is it, I had to change screen immediately

I burst out with laughter

TheLethalCarrot

2:14 PM

Hahaha

Edlothiad

I just couldn't control myself

TheLethalCarrot

I wasn't prepared for the second dog to appear too

Edlothiad

Ye that's what killed me

TheLethalCarrot

Aye

I'm sat in the dark now too cos they've had to kill the power to the lights in my room cos the buildings wired up weird

Edlothiad

Lol

TheLethalCarrot

2:17 PM

They needed to kill the power in the backroom and so that also kills the lights in my room

Edlothiad

Just walk around laughing scaring people

Or have a nap

TheLethalCarrot

No it's literally only my room in the office section haha

Edlothiad

Aww damn

The picture of your office in my head is really weird

TheLethalCarrot

It's an odd office

Aegon

Eddard Stark after Jon becoming KiTN

TheLethalCarrot

2:26 PM

Lol

@Edlothiad Here's my lazy artist impression of it

Not all the squares are offices, ones the toilets, anthers the kitchen and ones the conference room

Edlothiad

And all the open spaces are the scanners?

I'd love to draw you mine, but I have no Idea what the layout is besides my room, so...

TheLethalCarrot

Well mines a small building that's how I know it haha

Where it says my office is the showroom so we have scanners in there set up

The big room to the left of it is the engineers bit to work on the machines and we have some scanners in there but not much really

Edlothiad

Capiche

amflare

2:49 PM

@TheLethalCarrot can you draw my office?

JAD

@TheLethalCarrot -1, no freehand circles

TheLethalCarrot

@JAD Damn

amflare

damn

nailed it

TheLethalCarrot

Thanks :)

Edlothiad

3:05 PM

Oh it's his avater, lol

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah

Aegon

When you don't even have 10 answers but still get to be among the top ten users for the tag

Edlothiad

Cmon someone post 3 more star-able things

Kepotx

do you have a quota of star per day ?

Edlothiad

No, I like to be starred, but I need to bury the attention quote.

It's been up there for 8 days, it's time for it to burn!

TheLethalCarrot

3:16 PM

Someone else star it, move it further up the board!

Edlothiad

lol

I'm pretty sure everyone here who stars things has starred it

3 more minutes of aimless sitting around

TheLethalCarrot

3:28 PM

Has that guardians question just hit the HNQ again?

amflare

Does anyone know what the formula is for stars falling off the sidebar?

TheLethalCarrot

Nope

Something to do with age and number of stars on it compared to the rest though

Edlothiad

3:44 PM

I think it’s like number of stars / time it’s been up

Or the reciprocal of that

So 95h/4 Star > 24h/1

amflare

Hmm... okay

Q: Who is the king in this painting?

Playing CK2 Game of throne mod, I see lots of time this loading screen: Is it just a random king, or is it a real one? If so, who is this?

At first I thought: Dawn?

Q: This sword is forged from meteorite iron - but how is that any good?

You know the common trope in fantasy. Meteorite iron is amazing. My armor is made of sky iron, made for me. A bear's armor is his soul, just as your daemon is your soul. You might as well take him away" – indicating Pantalaimon – "and replace him with a doll full of sawdust. That is the diff...
