If Japan sunk beneath the seas, 300 years later there would still be groups of people who call themselves Japanese. Especially so for those that maintain pure bloodlines, the Targaryens are still Valyrian.
For a game with good PVP (note: not a "PVP game") to be successful it has to get away from themepark-esque battlegrounds. Zones that are completely unconnected from the world are a completely meaningless victory. Let the battlegrounds be the Guks, the Sol Bs, the Sebilises of the world. Those...
So your response is to try and kill the guy who just killed one of the most powerful men in the world. What happens if you fuck up? Varys's plan hinges on one person remaining alive and only a handful of people on the other side of the world even know he exists. They simply have no reason to...
There is no reason for them to kill each other yet. Neither knows what the other is really doing. They might foil each others minor court schemes, but the main stuff is still kept secret.
You fucking knee-benders.
First 3D printed gun debuted this week, Chuck Schumer immediately calls for them to be banned. The fucking politicians only seek to control, and you cravens are their willing victims.

It's highly unlikely that Varys is a "good guy." There is no reason to believe anything he ever tells anyone. Similarly, Littlefinger is just as duplicitous with everyone, except Alayne.
Players will create this ad hoc if you take the guard rails off of the game. Give people an incentive to band together for survival as well as the ability to take from others who fail to protect themselves and this shit will pop up out of thin air.
Fixed realm PVP is shit. A real PVP game should always have the ability to both group with and attack whomever you wish. And for political machinations and betrayal to actually have consequence, not winning must mean that you have lost something dear.
So if RW is episode 9, how is Littlefinger going to stay in King's Landing until Joffrey is dead, smuggle Sansa to the Eyrie, reveal his hand in Jon Arryn's / Joffrey's deaths, and kill Lysa all in the finale?
No, like Daenarys that is simply who he is. He likes to help the weak. There's no support in the text that his decision making was altered because of the fact that he loved a dead wildling. The story would be in a similar place had he not met her and managed to stay alive.
Jon has already killed another Night's Watch so that he may carry out his orders. If that wasn't breaking his vows, then surely fucking some wildling chick in order to continue obeying is not; besides the vow is only to not take wives or father children which is why leadership looks the other...
The campaign in the west happens during book/season 2. The original plan in book 3 is to march back north and retake what Greyjoy has captured; Frey has to be appeased so he will allow passage up the Neck.
We saw what happened in 1917 when society tried to bypass incremental change for fundamental/revolutionary change. Human nature & a lack of expertise about what to do next amongst those that that "won" are directly responsible for the end result, but if that's your idea of paradise then I bet...
Those high up in the command structure all must be executed. When I raised my banners in revolt several months ago Tuco (or someone) went on a hiring binge. It seems like half the god damn forum is a fucking mod now, mostly to placate them from developing revolutionary sympathies. With my...
