Rofl, find ALL the books.

I say Haelis was caught sniffing Yve's panties, hence the need for a change in the maester department:)

Rumour mill indeed says some people believe this is the reason for the change. Could be A result of green/black politics too! Who knows? :;

Luck, mostly. If we did it again I might not make it out of the first group, nevermind win unscathed.

by **Loreia** Fri Jul 31, 2015 2:38 pm

You're right. Also, she doesn't have any reason to think you use'd decidedly impassive tactics in the melee, which you didn't. We'll not make anything out of the comment.

by **Reader** Fri Jul 31, 2015 2:49 pm

I didn't win any events. Sad

Maybe I'll count Ser Derrock's victory in the joust as I did the rolling , or prince Aemond winning the (offstage) squire melee.

Or just have Prince Daemon enter the next melee...

Well I figured Derrock still won, but allowed Kevan to choose the queen. Wouldn't Derrock still get the champion title and get to ransom Kevan's stuff?

Derrock is very much champion and received the appropriate glory and ransoms. The jousting thread should have a post on this, on phone so hard to check.

Well, in the final I didn't. The only round I didn't attack, it was because my target was out of reach, so I still advanced towards him.
Really, the only time I was passive I was doing the exact thing that Ser Loreth did in his group - let the established pairs finish their "
honorable duels"
- or letting someone else choose their "
dueling"
partner.

What it comes down to is that if people don't like you they will find fault no matter what you do - If I had gone in swinging I would have been 'ganging up' on someone, if I didn't I was being 'cowardly'. Haters gonna hate, you know?

Really, I take Oscar Wilde's attitude for Baelon: “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.”

Loreia Merrgal wrote:We'll not make anything out of the comment.

Baelon took the comment to be one of wonderment and awe at his amazing talents;
if Gwyn weren't occupying his attention he would probably offer up a few pointers that Loreia likely doesn't actually need. Laughing

Yes, Derrock received my silver to ransom back my equipment. This was handled offscreen but was discussed via pm between me and Derrock.

Right, I'm not calling him a coward. It is kind of a damned if you do/don't situation. Who in their right mind organizes odd numbered groups of contenders to fight each other anyway!? Come on, noble people, your gods' favorite number being holy doesn't make it practical! General Non-game Chat Thread - Page 30 1.0

I didn't win any either, despite my best efforts. Sad

You're not alone. Smile

Still better than me. I did win one ... for the *opposing* side. Embarassed

Rofl. We can't all be Gwyn Marsten. Smile

Still, everyone has achieved something, which is encouraging. Looking forward to lots of posting his weekend and then one more week of work before a holiday week to showcase awesome offseason fun.

I find that events are like clothing, either you are a little baggy to fit everyone and looks decent on everyone or you look perfect, but only on the right person.
I have three in almost all my stats, so I share the pain of not winning Sad

All rounder is important when you're the only consistently present, non reckless house member. :;

As a somewhat all-rounder, I have to agree. Although getting some experience would be nice lol

Being a generalist is valuable in many ways, but I couldn't even win at the stuff I'm supposed to be awesome at. Sad

I'll get over it. I think it's just bothering me just now because of the prizes thing.

Despite having to share it you won The River Ghost. Technically not a event more of an incident. But you are a winner! :;

True. True.

I'm ok, I'm not actually upset. Having a crappy day, so had a touch of the gloom. But I'm making cake now, so all will be well. I still love everything here.
