Event: High Sparrow - Politics Special (Political Wins)

30:28 (+3) High Sparrow:

The High Sparrow announces Margaery's crimes to the masses gathered at the Sept of Baelor. "Rich or poor, noble or common, if we sin, we must atone. Margaery of House Tyrell came to us a sinner. She stood before the gods in the holy sept and lied. She turned a blind eye to her brother's sins. She disgraced her house, her King, and herself." (Politics Special)

He already outed Margaery for these crimes and got points for it last season. -jedjackoway

he gets points for his politics special every time he (or another sparrow) outs a character, this was an example of him doing so -as38

High Sparrow's special text is this: "every time he (or Sparrows under his order) publicly out a named character for their sins". It's a little bit ambiguous whether this is just for exposing the crimes (which should just be the initial event), or if it's for every public announcement. How do people feel about the worthiness of this as a scoring event? Will tighten up High Sparrow's special description either way ("every time he publicly announces a named character's sins"). -nyan

Side note, I was trying to come up with a better/additional special for the High Sparrow. Maybe something related to his dirty feet - every time he convinces/forces another character to adopt his hobbit-footed lifestyle? -nyan

I think he definitely needs a more powerful special. For a character who's basically owning the kings landing story line and has a 3 minute monologue every episode he is pretty weak. (disclaimer: I have him in my league) -julian.aronowitz

What about everytime he deescalates a confrontation? He's done that basically every episode. -julian.aronowitz

Proposition for new Sparrow special, using others who have multiple triggers as a template:
+1 each time the High Sparrow publicly outs a draftable character's sins or crimes
+1 each time he deescalates an impending violent conflict
+1 each time he makes specific reference to his past as a cobbler, or his current barefootedness. -dopeghoti

I think it's definitely good to count this even if he has already publicly outed Margaery as a sinner. It's exactely this obnoxious way of using every situation to make every last person aware of the sinner that is his speciality. It's like Daenerys repeating her titles over and over again and I'm sure there are more examples.
I assume the repetition came up here because of the question if kills that have already been shown should count if they reappear in Bran's visions? There I would disagree, but to me these are two entirely different things. It might help to step out of the scoring framework for an instant and think about how you experience these different acts while watching the episodes (without having the fantasy league in mind :D).

Maybe, it might also help to think in terms of plot and story. A kill happens once in the story, but the plot may deliver information about that at another time within the narrative - or even multiple times. The High Sparrow's multiple announcements do actually happen that often. Furthermore, it's not about revealing a secret, it's the act of denouncing he likes so much :)

At least that's my understanding of the way this game works, hah. Correct me if I'm wrong :o -Lem Lemoncake
