SPOILERS
(I've read ahead and saw this coming for a while, I just wanted some lol's)
Category: Factional Warfare
Subject: WTF was up with the Red Wedding?
Body:
Robb Stark was a fantastic character, and his mother was such a mixture of guilt and nobility!
Then they slit their throats and killed Robb's wife and unborn child? WHY?!?!
Response:
Hello there,
I'm afraid you'll have to ask Mr. George R. R. Martin himself to get a concrete answer, but I'd imagine it was a necessary storytelling mechanic to move the story forward in the direction he has planned!
As an avid follower of both the show and the books, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole episode and I am very much looking forward to seeing how the aftermath of the terrible deeds at the wedding plays out on TV.
Best regards, Lead GM Lelouch CCP Customer Support | EVE Online | DUST 514 |

The time spent replaying to your waste of time petition about out of game nonesense could have actually been used to help out someone who actually had a petition-worthy issue.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Spoiler:
Hodor eventually kills everyone and takes the Iron Throne.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

Discussing game master communication in public is not allowed.
Also, if he hadn't killed them off in book... Three? Then he couldn't have brought Catelyn back as a zombie in the next book. That makes sense, no?
I tried watching the television adaptation, didn't care much for it, personally. It gave me that British soap opera vibe. You know, like "Legend of the Seeker", or even "Merlin", I think one was even called "Camelot". Do YOU like to undock? |

To hell with the Starks.
The only person I'm pulling for in Game of Thrones is the dwarf. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

I held myself from watching the stream version so I could enjoy the newest episode on Cable HBO along with everyone else....
The ending credits had music all right... I know this because I had the window open, hell my own living sounded like this. If you couldn't hear it let me tell you what it sounded like:
People crying and screaming in agony.
TL;DR, Tears, lots and lots of tears.

yeah, hbo decided to make a tv show without reading all of the books it seems at times.
not sure if they're having to cut corners due to costs or what, but they've missed out some great bits that were in the book. |

Some stuff has to be cut because of budget, some stuff because it's not feasible or intresting in Television format, some stuff is cut because of time issues.
For a series based on a book they remain pretty damn faithful, and with George RR Martin helping them I'm pretty sure he won't allow anything that deviates to much from the books anyway. |

Remember when Ned Stark lost his head because he thought to be "honorable" and then Robb Stark again did the "honorable" thing with his wife by marrying her? Remember when Arya Stark answered Tywins question if she thinks Robb Stark is immortal with "No, all men must die."? Remember when Rickard Karstark told Robb that "The war was lost the day you married that girl"? Remember when Melisandre traveled across Westeros for the sole purpose of finding someone with "Kings-¦Blood" (Gendry) to use in her ritual burning the leeches ("Ursurper Robb Stark")?

lol... Given what they did to True Blood's story line without Charlaine Harris's oversight, I'm pretty sure Martin better hurry the **** up and finish the series or HBO will make up their own! |

Yes, what I witnessed yesterday was one of the most disgusting scenes in TV history.
And I say that having watched Little Britain.

Some people think that Hodor is indeed a damaged Aegon Targaryen - who heard his mother shout "hold the door" in desperation, had his head bashed in by the Mountain (resulting in permanent brain damage) but survived and was taken in by Ned Stark.
So he might indeed have some claim to the Iron Throne |

Yeah I mean there's got to be at least 10 other petitions from whiners asking to be reimbursed for their max yield zero tank exhumer lost to suicide gankers or something in queue, better get on that fast.
In seriousness yeah those dumb petitions don't justify other pointless ones. But on the other hand eh, it sounds like the GM enjoyed answering this one, and GMing is often a grueling job, so small pleasures. |

I think we all need to have a little levity and I'm sure the GM's needed a laugh after dealing with 36 hours of DOS attacks. As for not posting petitions, totally my bad. While I should have had the wherewithal to be fully aware of forum rules, I think sometimes everybody needs a laugh. Especially when one half of the internet is awash in a sea of flames and rage and our little corner itself has been through the madness of over a day of Tranquility offline-ness.
That being said, I'm still rooting for Daenerys. |

Yeah, that DM response is bullshiite, dude. Demand to have it escalated and get that crappy DM fired. Simply no reason that should have happened on GoT, and CCP did NOTHING to prevent it. And the lame cop-out excuse by the GM just makes it that much worse! RAAGE until this is addressed properly. We should accept nothing less than a personal apology from Hilmar, and a re-filming of the entire episode.
