[OOC] Blood Runs Over Westeros: A Game of Thrones RP

[Bluetommy]

@agentmanatee Controls the funding and training of the king's armies.

[agentmanatee]

The kings armies? As in the men of kings landing? Basically what I'm asking is...what the hell does he do without the king? I am working on my post now, and it opens with Tyget so... take your time

[Bluetommy]

@agentmanatee Yes, I have no clue what they'd do without the king.

[FourtyTwo]

What happened in King's Landing was meditated with Blue, by the way. It is a part of Garland's plan, but basically, shit got fucked and a lot more people died than needed. The City Watch just got a Coup D'Etat'd the shit out of it, and now, Willas is at it's head, locking the city in. It's a pretty morally questionable thing, but in short, you can view it from either extreme, from either being an outright insult or just a peacekeeping measure to quell the capital. He'd be playing to anarchy, or chaos. Full Petyr Balish style. Or at least, if it's sustained, then it will work. It shouldn't have had any negative repercussions, but owing to the fact that Willas is running on urgency, you can imagine the capital as basically desending into total confusion. Kevan will likely be completely losing his shit when he awakes to a new dawn outside, and the City Watch are cleaning up bodies, demanding to see Willas and demanding to ask what the fuck is going on. It's had worse as there are dead people, and Willas isn't going to look good in any shape or form to anyone who dislikes Tyrells.

[Bluetommy]

I shoulda did this, but anyways; Epic Tyrell Maneuver!

[FourtyTwo]

"Chaos is not a pit. Chaos...is a ladder."

I seriously doubt any Tyrell would want to even be associated with those words. But that is how Garland has now been forced to basically take on things, and it's what Willas used to orchestrate it all. Even temporarily, he had to resort to a pretty horrid use of violence, he put a pole through a fucking man's head and then let everyone basically fight it out, knowing that loyalty would swing to him in the low morale he found of the Guards. It would never happen with a polite "Step aside please". I can imagine that while he would want it to be a peaceful handover, that his order would have enough weight for that to happen- he has forgotten, it's not really that worthy (a Hand's order) as it used to be with a King's backing. So now, we have a sixth of the City Guard lying dead in the streets, and everyone is going to think what in fuck's name has just happened, either it was a good purge, putting all the traitors to death and keeping the Hand's peace, or showing that the Tyrells are willing to make a regime change, from the ground up. Opinion matters on that one- to the distant lords, it's relatively insignificant, but in the South, it would be far more significant and important, and no doubt, Kevan will be fuming. It's a terrible thing, like the Night of the Long Knives, they basically made a paradigm shift but with far more blood than was expected.

[agentmanatee]

Ok... I will figure out what Kevan's ACTUAL JOB is AFTER he reacts to... ya know... murder. He also is never leaving home without at least 4 armored Crakehall guards... if Wilas was willing to kill the captain of the city watch he is certain his head may be on the chopping block being cousin to the current claimant to the throne

[Bluetommy]

@agentmanatee Right now, he has no job, he's basically just a knight from house Crakehall in king's Landing

[FourtyTwo]

Or basically, EVERYONE on the Small Council at the moment:



This kinda includes Garland. Succession bouts usually point to the Hand, hence why he has his responsibility. Kind of. Sort of. Maybe? Fuck knows. We're just going to say he's the most senior council member, and fuck it, that's why he's doing it, it's as shitty and ragged as the Crakehall claim is- both are pretty crap, but fuck it, people are going to go to war over it.

[agentmanatee]

HEy where the hell does a lord have his squire put his armor on? Neverming I'll... give it some bullshit name

[Bluetommy]

So, @Dawnscroll are you working on a CS? Just wondering, no rushing or anything.

[agentmanatee]

ALso this post is made to humanize Tyget a bit... you know cause he isn't fucking Joffrey

[agentmanatee]

Finished Tyget's half, moving on to Kevan now

@bluetommy2

Character Sheet is up! A few things are still WIP, but this should be enough... for now. See any issues? Will fill in all blanks day after tmmrw.

The Wolves have entered the game, just in time to see an Octopus try to climb onto land. It'll be an easy meal...

@agentmanatee

Yeah @Dawnscroll, he's right, just fix that little thing, add a bio for Lord Stark, then you can get posting!

@bluetommy2

Fixed it just now, and I'll add the bio the day after tmmrw. Christmas Eve and all that jazz. Otherwise, any thoughts and opinions?

Also, we're going with the assumption that all Stark family has a Direwolf, they set up like, a pedigree breeding program or something.

[Bluetommy]

@Dawnscroll I think it's really good so far, I like how you added some of the laws that the family had instituted.

[Bluetommy]

So guys, I'm working on a post, but if you guys would prefer I waited, I'd be happy to do so.
