[OOC] Blood Runs Over Westeros: A Game of Thrones RP

[Bluetommy]

@agentmanatee Awwww, that's terrible.

[agentmanatee]

@bluetommy2 Indeed, I will try to get it up tomorrow but I do have the ACT in the morning so it will be late

[bloonewb]

I put up my second character. How is it?

[FourtyTwo]

Isn't House Bolton like, completely fucking dead after the events of this 'verse's events? I really didn't want to point that out, but it is a tad worrying :P

[bloonewb]

I don't know, it doesn't say anything about the Boltons being gone in the first post.

[Bluetommy]

@kingkonradNo, no, the Boltons have been stated to still be around in Tyron's sheet.

@bloonewb Accepted by the way.

[FourtyTwo]

@bluetommy2

Ah, fair play.

[bloonewb]

Game of Thrones light snack for thought:

Have you noticed how close Westeros is now to the Holy Roman Empire? An "empire" that is actually a coalition of barely controlled states, with products of incest at it's head and now the gap is closed even more with Tommen recognizing the church's power over the secular.

@bloonewb

It's a bastard child of that which you speak of, and England in the 1100s-1500s.

Take a look at the Angvin Kings, and the War of the Roses. It is close to the HRE, but every individual part of Westeros has a geographic relation to England, and wider France. The North, is the North (of England), the Reach, quite a lot like the South-West of the UK and Aquitaine. The Kings of that day barely kept their Dukes under control, and it was pretty fucking vile. It's funny- a lot of Shakespeare's most boring plays are now rivals to GoT, via some of the BBC's dramas I think (complete with lots of fucking, per GoT). It has a lot of Germanic features to the realm, but I think a more Anglo-Angvin approach to politics, peoples, places and culture.

Hello again everyone.

[Bluetommy]

@Abefroeman Hello Abe, King's been looking for you.

[FourtyTwo]

It is occuring now- we'll have something. I may edit heavily a previous post that I just made, because it has now massively changed.

[Abefroeman]

[bloonewb]

I just picked up the first book, and the first thing I noticed was that everyone from the Targaryen family had the letters "ae" near the beginning of their names except Viserys.

[Bluetommy]

@bloonewb Yeah, not all of them, but a lot

[Bluetommy]

I'll work on a post too, perhaps shake things up a bit.

[FourtyTwo]

Nice- there is a sequel coming to the first part of mine and Abe's collab. It is some seriously visceral stuff, definitely a departure for me as it swings back two characters into the fray.

[Abefroeman]

Hello again, collaboration commencing.

[Abefroeman]

@bluetommy2 I just want to say thank you for taking the time to create this RP we are all enjoying. It is a blast to be a part of it, and I greatly enjoy roleplaying with everyone here. We all worked hard to get this to where it is, let us keep the ball rolling.

[Bluetommy]

@Abefroeman Thanks man! It's good to hear.
