Game of Thrones OOC/Chat thread

So who ended up being the king?

[Gandalf.]

Oh and Btw, I Pmed rathetallhat (lord tyrell) he says he will be joining us soon
Edit: lol, you did

[Adamat]

So, started reading Game of Thrones this morning, now at page 100.

[Gandalf.]

Lol. Good luck, I'm on a feast for crows ATM. Have had relatively slow progress through this one compared to the others.

[ulti]

Hmm, I shall go out and buy the first tomorrow (well, today actually, it is 3:30 am here )

[rathertallhat]

so are we using names of real characters or making up our own?

[ulti]

You choose, I took mine from the book but I think a couple are made up

[Gandalf.]

If your stuck just call yourself mace tyrell or something of the like.

[Adamat]

But is the year the same as in GOT?

[Darth Roxas]

Beware all those who traverse beyond the wall; the lawful King of the Wilds is watching you.

[Bonez]

The king has arrived!

[Barry Goldwater]

So wait, are the Iron Isles already independent again? Or did they rebel post-WotU and get smashed already, ala the books? This will be pretty important not just for the Greyjoys themselves but my Serrys, too

Canonically, yeah, the Greyjoys did rebel and fail well before ASOIAF itself started, thinking they could take advantage of the WotU's political fallout but underestimating the power of the royalist forces: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Greyjoy_Rebellion

[ulti]

Just talked to Bjorn about this, we're going with they are independent but the rest of the people see it as rebellion. So technically, they are independent.

The king has arrived!

You may all start to grovel now jk
but on a more serious note does my character collect the income for both being King and a Lord or just one or the other?

[Bjorn]

You'd collect the Income of King's Landing. And would have to put a son/brother/someone as a vassal in High Garden. This other character would take the income of High Garden. He has to be one of your 6 mains.

[Gandalf.]

Both I think. I'm not sure if The lordship passes to your son/brother and you rule as king, like Robert gave storms end to renly. If you did that your inheritor of highgarden would collect the lords income and you would collect the kings, whereas your heir would collect the princes

Your start income is the King one only.

[Pericles of Athens]

Who is in need of a vassal? (want to join dont know who to join under)

[ulti]

If you want a challenge (basically you against the rest), join either myself or Remus Lupin... if not, i'm sure there's still some land available to be a lord in your own right.

[Bonez]

Yeah, join whoever.
