[OOC] Game of Thrones : The Pact of Ice and Fire (Always Open)

[Abefroeman]

@Greenie I like Taria and Layali. Just need to get time to collab with you is all.

@Abefroeman

I hope it kinda clears up why Alerie probably was the way she was. She plays a long game- and knows that by just saying "Look, that's the reality and you are screwing yourself over" she knows she'll let Amber loose one way or another. At this point, she got what she wanted out of her- and knows that Amber is a liability after what happened. She's smarter than to hold onto her and blackmail her into eternity- that's stupid and really malicious. What's better? Get what you need, move on. Amber doesn't even know what Alerie has in mind, so she has played it well....she did herself no favours to be honest, but she got caught in Alerie's wrath and that is dangerous indeed. We shall see what she ends up doing as I will track her character into the future....

[Abefroeman]

@kingkonrad If we do the time skip, it will be interesting to see what plays out for everyone's storylines/arcs. ((Alerie somehow becomes Wardeness of the Westerlands?))

I liked it though. Not evil or malicious, but rather practical and calculating. Coldish, not mean.

@Abefroeman

Yep, pretty much that would happen- the Lannisters and Tyrells would have a very strong direct bond, and no doubt have a little influence on the Kingdom of the Westerlands. It's that sort of gameplay- if she married Jahaerys, what would she have? Very little I'd imagine, she would be a Princess of the realm but little else, whereas this is real consolidated power. That and if it skips forward, a little plot that she has caught onto may be starting to bear fruit...

Yeah, that's my intent with her. She's a femme fatale, absolutely lethal

Heh, anyone got any episode titles that remind them of IRL? I mean, "Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things" does sit on mine atm :P

[Abefroeman]

I'd have to say the Winds of Winter for me.

[Nightwing95]

@MrDidact Well I am not giving this up...so I vote for a fast-forward.

[Silver Carrot]

This looks very interesting

[MrDidact]

@Silver Carrot You're definitely welcome to join. We're in the middle of a bit of restructuring, but I'd encourage you to make a sheet.

Well it seems that the general consensus is to do a time skip and I can definitely get behind that, so it looks like that's what we're doing. But how long are we thinking we should loop forward? Relatively short, perhaps several months to a few years? Or longer? Tell me what you guys think, and when we decide something that'll help us to get a better idea of where this game will head now.

[FourtyTwo]

@MrDidact

Say, two months or so. So long enough to finish the wars, put everyone back in KL, and perhaps let's say, set up the beginnings of any more intrigue, marriages or politicking or wars to come.

[AtomicNut]

To be fair, I didn't mind any of those things.

[Greenie]

I would not mind a year or so, but more than that I feel would make me lose touch with diff chars. I feel a year would allow them to advance in life but not so much that they're completely different now.

@kingkonrad

Civil waaaaaaaaaaaaar

[FourtyTwo]

@Monochromatic Rainbow

Would be interesting to see who the belligerents are. After all, a little PvE would be fun but it may turn to a little conflict which is fun, o'course.

[Abefroeman]

@MrDidact I would say one year. A few months is too short. The one year forward would be rather nice.

We would have to hash out the events that transpired between now and then. What rebels are still about, sparrows, etc. (I would love to have the Reynes still alive, perhaps in hiding building more support.)

And Aerion takes many wives I tell you. Many!

[Celeste]

Hey, y'all, I'm still here. :3

[MrDidact]

@Abefroeman There hasn't really been a polygamous marriage in Westeros since.... Maegor I believe so it might be kind of hard for Aerion to swing that. But maybe someone does set a precedent haha.

But yeah, I believe about a year should be fine. Now we can start hashing out more of what happens in the intervening period. I'll think on that further, and chime in with my thoughts later, but you guys please feel free to offer your input.

[FourtyTwo]

@MrDidact@Abefroeman

See, he's just like Ellion. Except Ellion gets more bitches. And men. Because. :P

[AtomicNut]

To be fair, I think I will do the GRRM think and start offing the characters. So sod your sugarhappiness.

[Antediluvixen]

@Abefroeman There hasn't really been a polygamous marriage in Westeros since.... Maegor I believe so it might be kind of hard for Aerion to swing that. But maybe someone does set a precedent haha.

@MrDidact

ASSASSINATE EVERYBODY WHO DISAGREES

[Abefroeman]

@Monochromatic Rainbow@MrDidact@kingkonrad



To deny me many wives is to risk the ire of Slaanesh!!!! Such actions are heresy!

But joking aside, I do know the Church would shit a golden brick, a rather large one, if a polygamus marriage happened, yet I can't help but ask the question, would they allow certain exceptions in the case of ensuring the continuation of a family dynasty? There has been historical precedent for such marriages happening, though of course, long, long ago. ((Damn that crazy Maegor and his love for the Blood God!!!!!!!))
