    Would actually presume not.

    Once NK is killed no more conversions could happen, but anyone previously converted will play on as team Zombie with the aim of winning for the NK.

    Yeah but
    The Nightking & the Army of the Dead. The Nightking will be able to recruit people to his army of the dead. Anyone chosen to be recruited with be converted into a White Walker and help the Nightking reach his goal of destroying all life in Westeros.

    How do they destroy all life if they can't convert? It doesn't say they have a kill... I mean it would make sense I guess

    tbh I am going to park who can make alliances for a while and not just because of the Night King being alive.
    Other factions / characters may exist in this game

    obviously the word may is in there but the potential for more factions is interesting. That said can't imagine them trying to fix GOTs by having the Tyrells or Dorne win out in the end :pac:

    Maybe the Iron Born will make an appearance

    Why do you say this?

    Once you said it I went back and read their OP bit, I had missed the bit about them and the Lannisters


    Even in this deeply divided land there are men who swear no allegiance to any King or Queen, The Brotherhood without Banners a group of outlaws, who eschew loyalties to one house or another and actively work against Lannister interests throughout the Kingdom. Beric Dondarian, and the man who raised him from the dead Thoros of Myr are joined by Sandor Clegane, The Hound, younger brother of Queen Cersei's bodyguard The Mountain. There is no love lost between Sandor and his older brother, in fact there are many scores to settle.

    So it appears that the three houses are not equal or at least do not have an equal run at the game. It'll be interesting to see how this bit plays out, could be a side-show we could do without in trying to get the NK.

    But back to my original question? Why do you want to weed out the Brotherhood? Is this a claim to be house Lannister?

    Still trying to get my head around this but as far as I can tell the NK would do well if the village was convinced he was part of a team/group. We aren’t going to lynch anybody who is not on the NK team (at least I don’t think we will)... Just saying, is there any downside to anybody on any team “accidently “ hinting their alliegance?

    We need a nugget to help us on our way. The nk must be loving this confusion at the moment.

    Unless cersai or somebody else gets to kill at morning aswell? Maybe she gets to munch people while looking for brotherhood?

    I think the best thing to do (for now) is to ignore the faction stuff and try to focus on the NK.

    I'd like an answer from Guffy though as to why we need to kill the Brotherhood


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    if we kill the night king, will all the zombies die?

    if thats the case, then we only need to kill one person.

    if we lynch the night king tomorrow, village wins, or goes into this weird shuffle thing,

    Yes but it says help the NK, it doesn't say they'll do it without him, I can see a scenario where we get the NK and they all die. Otherwise I think it might be too hard to kill the NK team if they were all essentially the NK.

    Its basically an SK who recruits and wins once they reach parity, if they could keep recruiting after the NK died it would be too easy IMO

    Wonder if there's hidden smaller houses then, and they can merge with 1 large house and any number of smaller houses. Plenty of houses in GoT to chose from.

    Yeah I was wondering the same.

    kinda what I am thinking,

    someone could be this badass and represent house Mormont while pledgeing allegiance to house stark for example

    I'm not sure if the factions would get a munch though as

    A) that would be four potential kills per day
    B) If one or two factions get a kill then it would enhance their chances of winning above those that don't

    I mean maybe there's an off thread contest for kills between the house but they don't seem to get a backroom until the Night King is dead.

    Just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning I guess.

    I would seem like an impossible game for the village to win if the conversions kept happening after NK was killed.

    Yeah that was my point :D

    I agree with you (although you put it better than me tbf)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    In terms of game results... I've no idea who counts as a wolf. I guess only the NK although that sounds more SK that can convert instead of kill.

    anywhoo, you guys work this out will im out getting dinner and we can kill the NK when I'm back... a nice productive day 0

    My point is this...

    It states the NK converts, not kills.

    So unless he also gets a munch how do the undead whittle down the numbers after his death?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Right so. Totally confused. Things I've noticed from reading op are that we have:

    The Nightking & the Army of the Dead. The Nightking will be able to recruit people to his army of the dead - Are we assuming that the Nightking starts solo or not? It mentions that he can recruit people to his army - does that suggest he already has one?

    Then we have:

    Cersei
    The Mountain
    Jamie Lannister
    Jon Snow
    Sansa Stark
    Arya Stark
    Daenerys Targaryen
    Tyrion Lannister
    Jorah Mormont
    Beric Dondarrion
    Thoros of Myr
    Sandor Clegane, The Hound

    12 roled players who are somewhat irrelevant until NK and pals are dead.

    At a minimum there is 13 roled players with potential for more as game proceeds.

    Three major things struck me from OP. The first is that 'powers may be character target specific' assuming that this means that powers may vary depending who wins but suspect it is mostly to prevent mass reveal.

    Second is from rule 3 "Failure to vote in the main vote" - this seems to suggest that there will potentially be other votes.

    Third thing is from rule 7 "lynch and eliminations are announced. " This could be connected to the previous...can people be voter off the island?

    By putting others forwards for the lynch?
    By winning competitions?

    I dunno. Just seems far too overly powerful for the converted to continue to be able to convert after the NK is dead.

    Well it depends on the intepretation of the show VS the mods tbh.

    I don't think we can say for certain unless the Night King wants to tell us :pac:

    In the show that's what happened though we are supposed to be ignoring season 8 for the game, so it could very well be different.

    I'm not saying they can, I just don't think it should be ruled out

    What confusion, this is normal working thru stuff.


    The night king should be worried, as they are at their most vuneral right now.

    Is the NK all on her lonesome on D1 and coversions kick in after that.
