Storm of Swords Tournament base of operations

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Usually the chair person would abstain from voting unless a tie were to take place, but I think in this case lets just say Da Wiggs counts as two in case of a tie....really its not that big of an issue...I just like structure, and rules....otherwise the universe would explode...really it would, wheres my taffy?

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Wow, bracket one is a ball-buster.

Actually I think bracket 3 is the "Group of Death"

I can't believe Barristan Selmy ended up with the Mountain first off. If he wins this thing he'll not have a harder contest.

And I can't believe Ned got Randyll Tarly...it's the Red Wedding all over again

 

[Wiggum]

I have no issue abstaining, it'll be the easiest way to resolve a tie.

I may not vote but my voice WILL be heard

Greatsword on greatsword, Ice versus Heartsbane... I'd pay to see that. Sadly, as much as I love Ned, I think Tarly would win. He is more of a warror. Ned would never have anything to do with a contest like this.

Is it too late for a switch?

How about switching Stannis for Jorah Mormont?

 

[Wiggum]

How about switching Stannis for Jorah Mormont?

Probably not a bad idea, if I remember it when I get to Stannis' round.

Next matches are up, Jamie and Bronn have moved to the next round.

 

[Weasel Soup]

A quick question Wiggum, have you decided which brackets take on which in the second round?

 

[Weasel Soup]

Or, sorry i expanded this two 2 posts, will each bracket produce a winner down to the final four?

 

[Wiggum]

No.

I don't want to loose a strong competitor simply because they were placed in an unfortunate bracket.

I'll recombine brackets into two after this round, but I don't want to commit to which ones. I'd like to get an idea about balance before I decide.

The eight that are left after that will be combined into another two brackets of four competitors each for the quarters.

 

[Wiggum]

Brienne
Umber
Bronn
Jaime

have moved on to the next round.

 

[JohnSnow]

I know you are going to switch the matchups, but looking at the first bracket, would love to see the rematch between Brienne and Jaime!

 

[Wiggum]

After looking at your bracket I may leave it as is, do it college basketball style.

I'll see how it all pans out.

 

[JohnSnow]

It's all good, either way. Someone will be a little ruffled no matter what. I just like the fact we have something awesome to post about!

Thanks again Wiggum for throwing this all out there!

By the way, I have a short stack on Robert Baratheon taking everyone down with the war-hammer !

Another potentially interesting matchup is Rheagar v Robert, man that would be a pay-per-view I would jump on!

You would watch it for sport? In that one battle a kingdom was destroyed, a new one raised, a dynasty fell, and the lives of everyone in Westoros were irrevocably changed for better or worse.

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Oh stop Weirwood.....why do you always cry Doom and Flames and Dragons....?(thats a joke by the way). Let the man have his Pay Per View....itd be better than Wrestlemania or whatever they are and any boxing match Ive seen in a while.......

 

[JohnSnow]

Actually the pay-per-view I get is a little more adult!

Just kidding, I can't afford any pay-per-view!!!!!!!!!

*snow*

Much like the World Series. Just kidding. Sorry, the playoffs are starting this week. I have baseball on the brain.

Besides, we read about it for sport. Watching would just take it out of our heads and put it in front of us.

 

[the smiling weirwood]

Ah...sometimes I forget it's not real...

I was about to say something about gladitorial fights and the bloodthirsty public...

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Oh if the Yankees lose this year does Steinbrenner do the thumbs down thing and Jeter gets his head cut off?

See, Id watch that.....
