    Sounds like he got his degree from some Nigerian college via the internet. What a fucking shmuck.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yes, Darkstar tries to kill her to incite war between the Martells and the Lannisters, but she loses an ear and gets a Tyrion style facial scar. I don't see how things happening exactly the way they happen in the books would 'set the rest of the show on a very certain path'. Killing Myrcella or...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Everyone who has ever described the events in the books of the series has said she was kidnapped, the only person still alive who might know differently is Howland Reed. But yes, most of the theories of R+L=J involve her eloping with R, not being kidnapped, although it's also possible that...

    Nah dude I've had people who haven't read page 1 of the books tell me they think it was R+L=J. I mean, some of them could have heard it from book readers, but there is one in particular who told me she thought that and I don't think she's the type to chill and shoot the shit about the books with...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well the implication is pretty clear that the Sand Snakes will kill someone. Bronn isn't important enough to 'set the rest of the show on a very certain path', which means they'll probably either kill Jaime, Myrcella, or maybe even Doran although that seems farfetched. I wonder how much time...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I dragged a post about Jon being the child of Robert and Lyanna in here from the no-spoilers thread because I thought it was funny, and it generated some discussion. Mainly because it's not technically impossible in the show, since they never actually established how long Rhaegar had Lyanna...

    Right but someone could choose to say, back Edric's claim with their big ass army because it makes more political sense for them to back Robert's bastard than to claim the throne themselves. And if they successfully put Edric (or any other bastard) on the throne, they wouldn't be a bastard anymore.

    Maybe Melisandre burning Shireen means she has given up on Stannis? That doesn't necessarily mean she want Jon next (although it seems likely) but she just convinced Stannis to burn his only heir if he ever did take the Iron Throne. Assuming Tommen and Myrcella get outed as the product of incest...

    If Davos doesn't turn on Stannis in some way I'll be shocked. Only real question is whether he's smart enough to be subtle about it, or whether he gets all up in Stannis' face, getting himself killed or having to flee for his life.

    I'm sure he figured Melisandre would be just was willing to sacrifice Shireen as she was willing to sacrifice Gendry or Edric. I'm also sure he assumed Stannis would never let her burn Shireen otherwise he probably would have kidnapped Shireen and ran off with her. My impression of Davos was...

    Seriously. If Shireen is good enough, anyone who has ever been in spitting distance of someone who has ever been in spitting distance of a throne is good enough.

    I CHANGED MY MIND! DONT USE MY WORDS AGAINST ME! And it really was an ignorant thing to say, I had only just started laddering again. Now that I've actually spent a fair amount of time grinding, I can see how Patron and Emperor are capable of sucking any enjoyment (or skill) right out of the...

    And now I get remembered why this game is trash.

    Had some dude portal in a tinkmaster and transform my acolyte of pain into..a 5/5 devilsaur. I'm fine with that. Then he cast echo.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lyanna does appear, albeit only in flashbacks and visions. She is described as intelligent, tomboyish and willful, frequently compared to her niece Arya in terms of temperament and appearance. Also, while Robb, Sansa, Bran and Rickon are said to have...

    I made the one response to him I felt I safely could, but it's not like spoiling the evidence for the various theories would make a difference. There really isn't much more evidence for the Lyanna/Rhaegar theory in the books than there is in the TV show, the only difference is the specific...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She wouldn't need to make him swear, he would keep Jon's parentage secret just out of common sense and self preservation. But yes, I think it's most likely that Ned had a private talk with Lyanna and she said Rhaegar didn't rape or kidnap her, and if Robert found that out he'd probably go off...

    Yeah I know, he talked about it with Sansa. Twas a joke you shitlord. Any time I post anything in the no-spoilers thread I triple check myself with the GoT wiki since it keeps the book stuff separate.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why would Robert have him killed? If anything, Robert would likely have acknowledged him, and kept him in King's Landing as a cherished memory of Lyanna. Maybe even made him his heir. Now maybe Ned would have been pleased for all the trouble Jon's acknowledgement would have caused for the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The fact that he wouldn't discuss it with Catelyn is some of the most compelling evidence there is that it wasn't his son. It would also make for a very weird story for him to be this super important character in the series, and have his mother's identity be a complete mystery, but then it...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It doesn't make sense because it's basically impossible in the books, even if Lyanna and Robert had been getting nasty before their marriage, she was with Rhaegar for too long for the baby (if she had one) to be Robert's. Unless the baby was like, actually a couple months old when they rescued...

    We're talking about the TV show, not the books. All the background you're talking about doesn't yet exist in the TV show, so try not to reference it in the no-spoilers thread. You are, without a doubt, one of the dumbest fucking people on the entire forum.

    Not to mention by modding out the Rhaegar + Lyanna theory but leaving in the Robert + Lyanna theory, you're implicitly declaring Rhaegar + Lyanna to be a spoiler. Who the fuck made you a mod?

    Why? Not only is that not the first time that theory has come up in that thread, it's not confirmed in the books so it's not a spoiler, AND I've had people who have only watched the TV series tell me the same thing, that they think Jon is the child of Lyanna and Rhaegar. You mods are fucking...

    I'm not grasping at anything, I'm merely explaining how the theory could be possible.

    The theory obviously assumes Robert knocked Lyanna up BEFORE Rhaegar kidnapped her.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    From the non-spoiler thread, made me laugh. I mean I guess in the TV series it isn't spelled out as clearly as in the books, but this is like one of the few theories that is absolutely impossible. Although I suppose Robert's Rebellion could have been shorter in the series, but Lyanna was...

    It's called Crusher Shaman because the dude who made it is named Crusher. And no, it doesn't win easily vs Patron, although I can see it doing ok vs facehunter if you subbed in tazdingos and healbots for something. But the deck is way too greedy in this format.
