    Roose Bolton - Another awful bollocks and more interesting than Brienne who although she had good traits was just a bit bland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Nasty Roose Bolton of Dreadfort for me.

    Brienne bored me.

    Whole will they won't they with Jaime.

    A loyal servant of Renly,Catelyn.

    Dispatched poor Stannis.:D

    The fact she as a woman became a knight was corny.

    Brienne of Tarth because I liked her character and I would never choose that bastard's father.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,355 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Brienne for me, her mind seemed to be her biggest battle, Roose was an excellent bastarrd but not as much as his son ya he's not winning this one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,459 ✭✭✭Niska


    Brienne - like Ser Duncan a century before the best knight was not a knight.

    Ok before I announce the Second Chance Showdowns... it's time to


    DfoEeefl.jpg

    Time to get your nomination in for the People’s Choice Wildcard contestant. You all get only 1 nomination here, so use it wisely. PM me the name of your nominee by 11am tomorrow morning and then all nominees chosen by you will face off in a battle royale, in Match 32 and conclude our first round.

    Why only 1 nomination per person? Because only 1 will be winning their way in to the competition, and the more competition they are up against the tougher a time they will have winning their way in, so you'd only handicap the 1 you truly want to see in there if you had multiple nominations....

    Brienne. I like Ugly Wenches


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,946 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Roose was a bollocks

    Brienne was a warrior, defeated The Hound and I liked her character arc! She was more likeable by Jaime going back to Cersei even if it did ruin his character a little


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,219 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    duffman seals the win for Brienne!!! She takes down Roose Bolton by 6 votes to 3.

    Don't go anywhere people, Second Chance Battle Royales will be announced shortly....

    Defeated a "heavily injured" Hound.

    The Runner-Ups from the first 28 matches were sent to the Loser’s Lounge where their numbers were shuffled and they were randomized in to 3 groups of 9, 9 and 10.

    The way these matches will work, is gonna be a bit different and don’t think anything like it has been done here for a tournament like this before, so hope I’ve managed to explain this well, and that you'll all enjoy the unusual format.

    For EACH Match once I post all 3, choose 7 and send me a PM with those names listed in order of priority for you, with 1 being your first preference.

    Kind of like in Eurovision, those 7 will be assigned a different number of points. Your first preference will get 8 points, second preference gets 6, third gets 5, fouth gets 4, fifth gets 3, sixth gets 2, and seventh gets 1 point.
    If there isn’t seven characters there that you fancy giving points to, and say you only want to send in five names, your first preference will still get 8 points, second still gets 6 points, and so on and so forth.

    I will tally all of the points from everyone's voting card, and once the deadline for votes has passed I will reveal who scored what and announce the Winner.

    Only the character with the highest number of total points in each of these 3 Second Chance Showdown matches will return to the competition, the other 25 characters are eliminated.

    Sounds a bit complicated, but hopefully isn’t, and fingers crossed this will all work out.

    Defeated a "heavily injured" Hound.

    True but she was a better character than Roose, his double cross was great, stabbed by his bastard son though so that negates his double cross.

    Can't see Brienne going much further though

    If you're gonna steal my whole speech, at least take out the line that says nothing like this has ever been done before when it was literally only two weeks ago it was done in another tournament, ya little bollix... :D

    Second chance showdown is confusing. Why is it broken in to three groups when only one is going through?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,219 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    One from each :)

    Once Sansa isn't picked, the women is the human equivalent of magnolia paint. Completely drab and uninteresting
