Boardsies Decide - Game of Thrones Greatest Character

Ficheall

I think I've miscounted somewhere - if this is round 30 and there is only the wild noms after this.. where's the 32nd person from?

Necro

Nah that's my fault, I'm doing the Showdowns out of order. This is technically Match 31

PsychoPete

Necro messing with our heads

Necro

Our second edition starts with


Necrina who is determined to have her man go through.

Samwell Tarly - 8 points

The rest of her points go as follows:

Gendry 6
Ygritte 5
Sansa Stark 4

Next up is LeVar and it's no secret who he will be handing his maximum to - the Queen in the North!

Sansa Stark - 8 points

His dislike of Danerys means this is a bad round for her so far:

2. Samwell Tarly 6
3. Ygritte 5
4. Beric Dondarrion 4
5. Gendry 3
6. Shae 2
7. Janos Slynt 1

But in steps Collie D to spare her blushes and hands Dany his maximum entitlement:

Danerys Targaryen - 8 points

The rest of his points will likely be equally as important though:

2. Sansa Stark 6
3. Ygritte 5
4. Beric Dondarrion 4
5. Gendry 3
6. Samwell Tarly 2
7. Janos Slynt 1

After those three entries, let's go to our scoreboard:

Character Name Score
Samwell Tarly 33
Sansa Stark 32
Ygritte 29
Danerys Targaryen 26
Gendry 26
Beric Dondarrion 22
Jaqen H'Ghar 9
Janos Slynt 5
Shae 2

And suddenly this becomes even more interesting. Samwell Tarly leads by a single point ahead of Sansa. Ygritte is in third place only 4 points off the lead whilst our original leader Danerys is back in joint 4th with Gendry on 26 points.

This is getting spicy

Because hes not Sansa

Necro

Next to the plate is


PsychoPete, and he is determined to throw multiple cats among the pigeons with his vote distribution:

Beric Dondarrion - 8 points

His remaining points go to:

Ygritte 6
Danerys Targaryen 5
Janos Slynt 4
Jaqen H'Ghar 3
Gendry 2

No points to Sansa or Sam from him, which means our leaderboard gets even tighter.

Lettuce move on to


Zaph, and Zaph decides to back the maester in training with his top marks:

Samwell Tarly - 8 points!!

His other points are finely distributed too though.

Sansa Stark 6
Beric Dondarrion 5
Gendry 4
Danerys Targaryen 3
Jaqen H'Ghar 2
Shae 1

This is turning into an epic showdown.


Niska is next and backs Sansa for the full allocation:


Sansa Stark - 8 points


But the lower points are also crucial at this stage!

Samwell Tarly 6
Danerys Targaryen 5
Beric Dondarrion 4
Gendry 3
Ygritte 2
Jaqen H'Ghar 1


Sam picking up points from everywhere, how does this affect our leaderboard?

Character Name Score
Samwell Tarly 47
Sansa Stark 46
Danerys Targaryen 39
Beric Dondarrion 39
Gendry 35
Ygritte 31
Jaqen H'Ghar 15
Janos Slynt 9
Shae 3

Sam STILL clings on to the lead by a single point, but Sansa is right on his heels. Danerys and Beric Dondarrion now of all people are back in joint third. But this battle is still unfolding, and we've got a ways to go yet...

Necro

Penultimate edition now.

duffman13 is up next, and he says screw Sam - and throws his weight behind just two votes:

Sansa Stark - 8 points

His second place goes to

Danerys Targaryen - 6 points

Which puts Sansa clear and into the lead, but we still have a lot to play for here.

Sawduck says screw that, let's upset the apple cart one more time and hands the maximum allocation to

Danerys Targaryen - 8 points

And allocates other points as follows;

Gendry 6
Sam 5
Sansa 4
Beric 3

Those 4 points for Sansa could prove to be absolutely crucial as it keeps her just ahead of the rest.


Deleted User is up next and hands the maximum allocation to

Sansa Stark - 8 points

But crucially, also gives points to the following:

Dani 6
Samwell 5
Gendry 4

downtheroad is our last entrant on this edition and they want to cause some chaos in the voting:

Beric Dondarrion - 8 points

With points also going to

Ygritte 6
Dany 5
Sam 4
Gendry 3
Sansa 2
Shae 1

And now our leaderboard looks like this:

Character Name Score
Sansa Stark 68
Danerys Targaryen 64
Samwell Tarl 61
Beric Dondarrion 50
Gendry 48
Ygritte 37
Jaqen H'Ghar 15
Janos Slynt 9
Shae 4

And Sansa leads by 4 points.

Which WOULD have been the final table until a final PM at 10.55am.....

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm getting the sense that myself and Ficheall might be having words if his are the final scores to be revealed...

Necro

The final PM in this absolutely gripping contest came from


Ficheall Who immediately hands out the their allocation as follows....

Shae - 1 point
Gendry - 2 points
Samwell Tarly - 3 points
Ygritte - 4 points
Jaqen H'Ghar - 5 points
Beric Dondarrion - 6 points


And his 8 point allocation went to the winner of this nailbiter....


Joining us in the second round as the final winner of the Second Chance Showdown....

Danerys Targaryen

Literally anyone but Danerys would've been a better choice, even if it couldn't be Sansa

PsychoPete

I'm ok with that. I love Daenerys and Sansa. They're the same as each other in reverse.

One started out as an annoying and self centered witch and grew into an queen.

The other started out as a beautiful queen and deteriorated into an evil and self centered witch.

I loved Sansas ending but I also loved khaleesis beginning.

Niska

Some epic counting there. At least LeVar didn't have his 6 points to Samwell backfire..

quickbeam

I'd have rathered Sansa win, but ASLB's torture almost makes it worth it to have Dany instead

Would've preferred Sam a million times over the worst character in the series, Dany... :mad:

Amazing how boring Sansa started out then got progressively even more boring as the seasons went on

Honestly, I've made so many enemies in the past 27 hours just in this thread alone, I can't even keep up with who's on my list of allies or enemies anymore...

Necro

I'll return about 2.30pm with the results of the Wildcard Battle Royale now that our Second Chance Showdowns have been resolved

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Necro, has kindly allowed me to plug my own game here, while we wait for the Wildcard Window to close

If you like the Eurovision style reveal that just went down, and which I also did in the Sitcom Tournament, you may be interested in checking out LeVar-ovision, which is all explained over in the thread and its open for business, so definitely go have a look, it should be a bit of fun...

Even those of you who are currently on my list of enemies (which is probably all of you at this point) are more than welcome to join in, because I don't really have a list of enemies and you're all great, even if some of you have no respect for the Queen of the North who is the real Greatest Character in Game of Thrones, regardless of what you all think with your wrong opinions...
