    As someone that's from Sweden himself...

    Nuthin wrong with Cogs.
    Scandinavian Expys can pirate in anything that floats (in the case of Cogs, the Vitalian Brotherhood).

    If anything Longships and Knights in full plate sharing a universe is anachronism at its worst.

    anachronism at its worst would be if sweet child o' mine started playing as the sea bitch set sail

    This is what Theon was singing when he saw his cog sailing into port

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Theon does look like the kind of guy that would whip out an electric guitar at the slightest provocation.

    Book 3 Spoilers:
    Just got to the part where Dany gets her army of Unsullied, and just destroys everything slaver-related. Really curious as to how they'll handle her whole "I speak High Valyrian trololololol" ploy, but man, that is one of the most satisfying twists of all time.

    They will just have Arstan say "Hey don't let them know you speak High Valaryian"

    it is pretty simple

    Private one is Arcadian Invasion??? with the password wang.

    Public one is Fyndir's FAST Game and has no password.

    Anyone that wants to get some quicker moving games going come join them.
    I have no idea what the turn deadline actually does to people who go past it, I'm just hoping the knowledge that it exists will motivate people to check the game more frequently and keep it moving.

    I despised Joffrey in the books but he is one of my favourite characters to see in the show. Jack Gleeson is just so good at being a despicable psychopath.

    Plus whenever Joffrey does something really dickish I can't help thinking of that photo of Gleeson in the tennis outfit and it cracks me up.

    edit: ahh here it is. I love it so much

    like those whole post wasn't just an excuse to say cervix-to-heir missiles

    (brilliant)

    anyway i thought she got better in the later episodes, her introduction was terrible though

    they've got a facebook group that answers quite a lot of questions and has a little FAQ section in the 'about' area, if i recall correctly. also if you leave your mouse on basically anything on the board it tells you what's up.

    added note: if i'm the only one who knows what's going on, this should be easy. of course now my hubris will be undoing. nooooooo....

    here we go: http://www.facebook.com/webofthrones/info

    nice little break-down of the basics for anyone who's new to the game.

    blixaphonics on

    All I know is in the one game I'm in where some combat is happening my ass is getting firmly kicked, and I don't know how to make it stop.

    Fucking Stags.

  • blixaphonicsblixaphonics the french champagne Registered User regular
    i swear there should be a time-zone setting for this game where the rules of space and time are bent so everyone is able to put their orders in at roughly the same time.

    in fact i will suggest that to the creator and see if he has any ancient artifacts capable of changing the rotation of the sun, just to make that possible. i assume that would achieve the necessary results and not create world-ending tidal waves and etc. it'd almost be worth it to get through an entire game in a couple of days before the tsunami hit.

    also on a more actual 'game of thrones' related topic: brienne is ridiculously attractive in this show. something about women in armour who are taller than me. i've been reading the D&D boards and everyone is bitching about the jon snow/dany storylines... do they not understand, y'know, plots building up to stuff? perhaps not, actually.

  • BroloBrolo Broseidon Lord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
    Brienne is pretty much spot-on for how I pictured her, although she's not supposed to be attractive at all.

    Bad guys have got most of the sexy dudes as is, I'm okay with the good guys getting a comely Brienne.

    Be interesting to see how they do (Feast spoilers)
    her face being half ripped off by Biter

    on that note, Tyrion's wounds from the battle of the Blackwater too. I imagine it's hard to make it look like an actor has no nose, even with the quality of make-up these days.

  • BroloBrolo Broseidon Lord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
    Probably just going to put a scar on it, if they do anything.

    Dagmar Cleftjaw fell a little short of how disfigured he was supposed t be as well.

    As someone that's from Sweden himself...

    Nuthin wrong with Cogs.
    Scandinavian Expys can pirate in anything that floats (in the case of Cogs, the Vitalian Brotherhood).

    If anything Longships and Knights in full plate sharing a universe is anachronism at its worst.

    anachronism at its worst would be if sweet child o' mine started playing as the sea bitch set sail

    Theon does look like the kind of guy that would whip out an electric guitar at the slightest provocation.

    Well, how did they handle Davos' short fingers?

    I doubt the dude had half a hand before they got a hold of him.

  • BroloBrolo Broseidon Lord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
    Davos wears gloves, you don't see his fingers often.

  • Brovid HasselsmofBrovid Hasselsmof [Growling historic on the fury road] Registered User regular
    They just haven't shown his hand clearly, as far as I've noticed

  • HunterHunter Chemist with a heart of Au Registered User regular
    Well, how did they handle Ned Stark being decapitated?

    I doubt Sean Bean was already decapitated before they got a hold of him

  • Romanian My EscutcheonRomanian My Escutcheon Two of Forks Registered User regular
    Hrmmm...
    I guess CGI's always an option, if conventional makeup isn't.

    Open wounds are feasible, though I dunno if it's possible to make it look like somebody's lost half their nose with it.

    I dunno. Worst case scenario, Dinklage gets to keep his nose.

    Well, let's be fair here, Sean Bean has suffered many a death.

  • HunterHunter Chemist with a heart of Au Registered User regular
    They didn't make Dinklage do backflips and acrobatics in the first season when they were at Winterhold, so I don't see a problem not doing everything 100% by the book

  • GalyGaly Registered User regular
    Book 2 spoiler everbody is talking about:
    It would be a crime to disfigure a face as handsome as Dinkelage's, even for the sake of the story.

    I bet it's just a temporary wound that heals up early in season 3.

    i could live without
    noseless tyrion
    in season 3.

    but only if it meant saving FX/CGI budget for
    dead robb stark with grey wind's head.

  • SimBenSimBen Hodor? Hodor Hodor.Registered User regular
    One thing they could do for Tyrion
    give him a prosthetic nose. Just this big ugly metal thing that he has to wear at all times after that point.

    that is literally just as i imagined it. if HBO just suddenly did a flash-cut to a still image of that picture i'd be pretty satisfied. also a nice way to cut costs a bit.
