aSoIaF Trivia Game

Arya Stark

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Ohhh that's a clever one Boaz

That would, of course, be Myrcella "Baratheon-seretly-lannister". I, at first, thought Arya as well, but Arya hasn't suffered a terrible injury.

My father's father was a regional warden (Tywin, Warden of the West). My father was asked to be Hand of the King (Jaime was asked by Cersei after Tywin Died). My older brother was a king (Joff)... but he died at a wedding feast (his Own). I have a ******* brother (Gendry) and this does not make my mother (cersei) happy. My uncle spent time on the Wall (Tyrion, but he was only visiting). My little brother (Tommen) is an animal (sir Pounce) lover. Although I've suffered a terrible injury (ear cut off) , I guess I'm lucky because the man (darkstar) was actually trying to kill me. There is a girl pretending to be me (Her cousin/"lady" in waiting)

Damit. Arsten had beaten me to it... I was reading this in the tram thinking that it must be Myrcella and though to wait until I get home before I answered...

 

[Boaz]

Well done, Arsten. I tried to make it either Bran or Myrcella up to the last clue.

 

[Groot]

I was going with Arya blindness as an injury, doesn't that make it work for her aswell?

 

[Boaz]

Okay.. Who am I?

I'm a child. My father's father was a regional warden. My father was asked to be Hand of the King. My older brother was a king... but he died at a wedding feast. I have a ******* brother and this does not make my mother happy. My uncle spent time on the Wall. My little brother is an animal lover. Although I've suffered a terrible injury, I guess I'm lucky because the man was actually trying to kill me. There is a girl pretending to be me.

I'd say the blindness was an injury, but the old man was not trying to kill her. He was training his student. But Groot, I see you going for the trifecta... the poster of thought, quote, and trivia at the same time... Woot! Groot! Sorry, you'll have to get the Triple Crown another time.

 

[Groot]

Close, but no cigar. It's probably best, it would take me a few days to make up one of these trivia questions.

 

[Boaz]

I probably take too little time in developing mine. <cough> Just look up a description of a character... and ask, "Who made the Valyrian Steel blades for Tywin?" or "Who always claims to be a godly man?" or "Which Brave Companion (Bloody Mummer) sometimes asked the others to scourge him for his sins?" or "Where is home to Jenny of Oldstones?" or "Which noble house has a rooster as their sigil?" or just make something up... that always works for me... and the great thing is that Srylanna is such an obsessive compulsive spermologist that she'll try to (and probably succeed!) in figuring it out! If it works, then you look smart. If it fails, then you look like a fool... but I've never minded looking like a fool... I just don't like to look stupid.

OR just down a few whiskeys, like I have tonight, and then post anything... you can always blame the liquor.

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

This game is awesome because it challenges one to remember stuff from the books and if you can't remember, you have to deduce so it is pretty good for keeping info and relations in mind. And yes, I do have some mild OCDs. I got a doctor's note and everything.

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

okay, for my trivia....


I am dead
I was married to a very popular woman
My cousin is an infamous musician
My cousin is also very popular
I was a Knight
I made a boast that got me killed
My wife's new husband has spurned her
but not before he spurned a queen
Who am i

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

Pate of the Blue Fork.

His popular wife is Amarei "Gatehouse Ami" Frey.
His cousin, the musician is Tom of Sevenstreams, member of The Brotherhood without Banners.
He promised his wife he'd kill Gregor "the Mountain" Clegane, but the Mountain killed him.
His wife's new husband is Lancel "The Pious" Lannister and the queen in question is Cersei "f***ed Moon Boy for all I know" Lannister.

 

[Boaz]

Sry, I think you're correct in everything... except the name. It was Merrett.

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

Isn't Merrett Amarei's daddy dearest?

 

[Boaz]

Wait... You're right. Merrett got killed going after Pate, right? I quit.

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Pate of the Blue Fork was correct.

 

[Boaz]

Na gi gi....

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

Wait... You're right. Merrett got killed going after Pate, right? I quit.

He was going to ransom Petyr Frey. Pate wasn't a Frey.

Hm... I don't have a prepared question and books are back home.

From which house and thus part of Seven Kingdoms is the grandmother of Jinglebell?

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Jinglebell is the halfwit Frey that Cat kills yes?

And yes, Merritt Frey was going to ransom Petyr "Pimple" Frey, who got captured/lured away by a camp follower. Merritt says he couldn't blame the boy because his name is Peryr friggin Pimple. I believe Petyr Pimple is the one who falls off his horse when Robb rides up to the twins and the wolf scares the horses.

Pate, on the other hand, is mentioned 3 times by different people, but I don't think we ever actually see him. We only hear his name after he died. He was a hedge night who married Gatehouse Ami after she was found in a compromising situation with no less than 3 stablehands. For a hedge night, this is considered a step up in the world, getting to marry the grand-daughter of a fairly significant lord, even if she is a trollop.

 

[Anushka Mokosh]

Yes, Arsten. That is Jinglebell indeed.

 

[ArstenWhitebeard]

Looks like nobody knew Jinglebell's Grandmother...
