  1. So quiet on this board.  Did all the talkative people die?

     

    I'll just throw out a reminder that I started the D3 Athena DL (attempt) based on actual clues in the story that I connected with her.  (The goddess Athena cursed Medusa so she would turn men to stone, and the story contained "the gods" "stone" and "rocks".  It's a myth I'm familiar with.) 

     

    Afterwards, folks started chiming in about "gods & men" being in a previous story, and saying that mid-story ampersands are unusual which it appears that they are since I haven't seen any others.  Still, the reason for my DL attempt was not an ampersand.  Truth be told, I thought @ was an ampersand.  TJ joined my vote based on mention in the story of Tyrion's reading (since Athena was the goddess of wisdom.)

     

    I cast the first D3 vote, and TJ the second... but y'all were pretty set on getting rid of Jon Snow.  ;)  I didn't like jessied112 for a DL based on the "purred" clue, since that clue was in D1, and I felt the D1 clue was clearly directed at Hanged Man (laughter choking a man.)  Also, Oinky Boinky (who'd already been established as a villain and investigator) seemed a little too eager to get rid of jessie

     

    Actually, here's my quote from before the vote went final -

     

    Also, since OB was a Villain Lannister, a jessied112 DL assumes that she's either Stannis Baratheon or the SK, and 2/16 isn't an attractive bet for me personally... especially based on the actions of one Tywin Lannister...  I'd rather look to the story clues. 

     

    I'm not vouching for anyone (sorry jessie) - and if she is indeed bad, no one would vouch for her since the SK doesn't have allies, and King Stannis' allies are now in the hands of the Silent Sisters.

     

    It's my first time playing, but I prefer to go with clues instead of trying to figure out who's lying and who's telling the truth. 

     

    So, can we talk about some clues?

  2.  

    Given our most recent story, I think we can all agree that "abreast" meant nothing clue-wise and was only a cool word in the story.

     

     

    "A breast" could've been nodding to a body part.  A breast.. a foot.. a nose.. a tummy...  

    Biz I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. 

  3.  

    It sounds like Baelish and Varys may have been successfully recruited by the Lannisters

     

    I don't know...  Both spymasters have been in the Capitol with the Lannisters since D1 so I'm not sure that being in a Small Council meeting speaks to their allegiance within the game.   Also, neither is known for being completely honest with those they "align" with or terribly interested in the Lannister/Baratheon/Stark benefit...  Baelish makes confusing-to-others moves that will benefit his own position, and Varys supports moves he believes are for the good of the realm. 

     

    So no clues in the day story, and I've read N3 a few times now and nothing is jumping out.  Anyone?  Bueller?  ;)

    And we don't know if she was able to find Jaime or not?

     

    The odds aren't good; CP could ask one person per night, we've only had three nights and lots of players left.  Would be cool if she did, because "Brienne and Jaime" is a pair-up I can definitely get behind. 

     

     

    So until I make any sort of accusation, I would like to know if anyone felt that the word forlorn was out of place in that story:

     

    Bruised and battered, Sansa wept, hoping as always to return to her forlorn dreams of family.

     

    I'm interested to hear your thoughts, BizBuzz, though I'm not sure "forlorn" should be a smoking gun. 

     

    Sansa Stark was fourteen, living the dream at Winterfell with a loving family, but she wanted to be a princess like the ones in her fairytales.  She was promised to the future King Joffrey in exchange for their father becoming the King's Hand and moving to the capitol.  All of her dreams were coming true. 

     

    Then she discovered Joffrey was much more Prince Alarming than Prince Charming, and lost her beloved direwolf Lady due to his (and her) lies.  Her father's new position led to his execution, her sister's disappearance (and presumed death), and a war in which her oldest brother and mother were killed, along with the presumed deaths of her two little brothers. 

     

    She was publicly beaten, disgraced and pushed aside for a more lucrative Tyrell bride- and just when she thought she was free of them they made her marry the Demon Monkey Imp of the family responsible for her suffering. 

     

    If there's anyone whose dreams merit 'hopeless' or 'forlorn'- it's poor Sansa.

  5. "What do you know about fear, boy? Fear is for the winter when the snows fall a hundred feet deep; fear is for the Long Night, when the sun hides for years and children are born and live and die all in darkness. That is the time for fear, my little Lord."

    Yes, Gary's mom is domineering and should not take over a party, but Aiisha was planning what for her husband's party? The only thing she did was chop veggies.

     

    That's not true; she also threw away his cigarettes.

     

    "Your birthday present this year is nicotine withdrawal!  Love you!"

  7. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  It's like I went downstairs on Christmas morning and there was a box full of corduroy overalls.

     

    *I'm sorry, Athena, but whoever you are you're no Jon Snow.  

     

    I told you guys.  I told you.  

     

    But nobody wants to trust the growling body-painted guy with the 3-foot braid and awesome smoky eye.  Because discrimination.

  8. So, did Gary bang that "up and coming" artist from the gallery ?  They went back to her place, but Gary didn't seem too enthusiastic.

     

     

    Is Grandpa the only man faithful to his wife on this show? Everyone needs a dick slap.

     

     

    Gary didn't sleep with the up-and-comer.  They showed him having a drink with his clothes on while she undressed, and when they showed him again in the morning she was sleeping behind him but he hadn't moved from that spot.  His clothes, hair, and even posture were unchanged, but he was crying.  

     

    He sat there the whole night thinking about what a checked-out silently-jealous punk-ass he's been, and he decided to be the bear Rosie expected him to be.

  9. You know when you were a kid and you woke up 4am on Christmas and couldn't go downstairs yet or your mom would skin you... but you knew there was gonna be some really cool shit down there?  

     

    That's how I feel waiting for the new story.

  10. Bartender, I'll have what she's having! 

     

    I don't think I'll ever see a post from Lisin again without remembering her stealing the whiskey and the "I don't even like onions" comment.  I hope all of us are that entertaining when we die.

    *For those who don't watch the show, this James Bond-lookin' gent is Ser Jorah Mormont of the House Friendzoned.  Ladies, you are free to wolf whistle, he's probably used to it by now.
