The Syndicate

I'm not a fan of her in either incarnations either, but she could be a great role.

She could start Pre-Stoneheart and if certain actions happened she could become Stoneheart, so kind off like a traitor role.

How do you plan to work the Start faction? They mostly split away and aren't really Starks anymore. Would they start as Starks and maybe progress into a different team? Or am I just geeking out way to much. :P

This game if done would be put into next years game queue thread right. So we wouldn't be playing it until 2017?

It's a speed game to start. If it does well, I would expand it for the poll next year.

Boltons + Freys = Red Wedding, no?

And In a full game, 100% for Stoneheart. Although she, in both her incarnations is my least favorite "civvie" character, the interplay between so many roles that could be based on her... the potential levels of intricacy are insane

She could take the Brienne story are to so many new heights.

I know I could, but I want to do it this way

I havebeen experiementing with the faction set up, and this theme would be an easy way to do it.

No matter how slow he is, he will probably still finish before Winds of Winter comes out ha ha.

Years in the making~ coming soon to a poll near you! A game for up to 19 players.
This will be a game of multiple factions. They all will have BTSC or the potential for it. The all have varying win conditions, that may harmonize or contradict. Some will have secret conditions.
Be warned. This is based on the books. There will be few if any major plot points revealed that are not on the TV show, but there WILL be characters NOT SHOWN ON THE TV SHOW. If you only watch the show, or are not finished with the books to date (A Dance With Dragons is the last book published so far. Maybe forever. GRRM does not take good care of himself, he's writes s l o w l y ...)

The members of each faction will be filled out between now & the poll time, and will, of course, be subject to the number of people signed up. Factions will have from 1 to 5 members. The factions will probably include:

The Starks (cannot win with Lannisters)
The Lannisters (Cannot win with Starks)
The Martells (Cannot win with Lannisters)
Daenerys' Court
The Shy Maid (cannot win with Starks or Lannisters or Team Stannis)
The Nights Watch (Cannot win with the Others)
Maid of Tarth
Tyrion
Baelish (LMS)
The Cleganes (cannot win with each other)
Stannis the Mannis & Mel
Others (Cannot win with Wall or Melisandre)
Team Weirwood
Boltons & Freys (cannot win with Starks)
Hodor (Hodor)
The Citadel (cannot win with Team Weirwood, the Others or Danys Court)

There could be more. Or less. There might be very small factions, or fewer, depending on interest.

If it goes over well, we might make this a Westeros Only Edition, and split it into two parts. The idea for this has been floating around for a while, but we could not see how to make it work. boos Monopoly game made it come together in a workable form. It will not be a traditional "Civvies vs baddies" game; the Lannisters, for instance, can win with the Nights Watch.

If this goes well, I can readapt it for a full game, with up to 40 players.
