Also these are in the rules:
Titles are like WWE championships - points are awarded for each title gained and re-gained (e.g. losing and winning titles repeatedly makes you an 8x WWE Intercontinental Champion. Holding and defending the title for 8 years still just counts as 1x)

I might be wrong, but wouldn't it be a reduced title from king in the north to warden of the north? -imonaship12

I think if we get really technical about it, King in the North and Warden of the North are mutually exclusive - you can only be Warden for a reigning monarch, which implies you're not King in the North. Per the WWE criteria, any title change counts even if it sounds like a demotion (one could argue it's a smaller fish in a bigger pond scenario). -nyan

15:54 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne is revealed to be a commander for the upcoming Battle at Winterfell, overseeing the left flank.

16:37 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Jaime pledges his services to Brienne: "I came to Winterfell because I'm not the fighter I used to be. But I'd be honored to serve under your command, if you'll have me." (New Follower/Prisoner)

48:09 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne is knighted by Ser Jaime Lannister.

"In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to be brave.
In the name of the Father, I charge you to be just.
In the name of the Mother, I charge you to defend the innocent.

Insults Delivered / Funny Lines

16:11 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne: "What are you doing? ... We have never had a conversation last this long without you insulting me, not once."
Jaime: "You want me to insult you?" (Funny Line)

33:40 (+3) Samwell Tarly:

Sam defends his renowned fighting abilities
Jon Snow: "If you want to join them (Gilly and little Sam in the crypts)..."
Sam: "Everyone seems to forget that I was the first man to kill a White Walker. I've killed Thenns-"
Edd: "Thenn."
Sam: "I've saved Gilly more than once. I stole a *considerable* number of books from the Citadel library. Survived the Fist of the First Men. You need me out there!"
Edd: "Well if that's where it's come to we really are fucked." (Funny Line)

Having Sam in my team, I do wonder what I'm getting points for in this piece of dialogue. His funny line came afterwards, which is already scored accurately. -Lem Lemoncake

Well it's more of a boast then, isn't it? But yeah.. I guess, the character's intention doesn't really count, and as always with those funny lines, most of them will appeal in different ways to different viewers. -Lem Lemoncake

42:40 (+3) Gendry:

Gendry with the deflection as he gets grilled by Arya.
Gendry: "Then she (Melisandre) tied me up, stripped me down, put leeches all over me."
Arya: "Was that your first time?"
Gendry: "No, yeah, I've never had leeches put all over my cock." (Funny Line)

Glasses of Wine Consumed

Podrick gulps down the overflowing full cup of wine poured by Tyrion. (Glass of Wine Consumed)

51:10 (+5) Podrick Payne:

Podrick drinks the last of his cup after Davos declares, "we're out of wine." (Glass of Wine Consumed)

Acts of Intercourse

44:21 (+5) Gendry:

Gendry and Arya spend possibly their last night rolling among the burlap sacks. "We're probably going to die soon. I want to know what it's like before that happens." (Act of Intercourse)

I think this should be phrased differently. This wasn't a quid pro quo transaction. This was Arya reaching out affirmatively, demonstrating sexual agency, and choosing Gendry to have this experience with because she trusts him. She would have done the same thing even without the weapon. -power.suit

Maybe this is already included in these 5 points, but shouldn't there be 2 intercourse scenes scored? There's the shot on the sacks and then again later when Arya and Gendry are shown in bed. Implied sex. -the_catherine316

Could make an argument for it, but imo the moment from Jaime's perspective is more in line with the other standard Feels points given out. It doesn't need to be symmetrical necessarily, see Bran not reacting to Jon's reunion and Daenerys not getting points for her part in making Sam sad. -nyan

I dunno, I feel like Jaime was the key part in this. He knew exactly what he was doing and how it would make Brienne feel. She would never of been knighted if it wasn’t for Jaime. It was “an act of love” on Jaime’s part, maybe even the closest thing we’ll get to him confessing his love for her. Sam’s moment was about him finding out about his family, it was his moment not Daenerys’. Imo, this moment was about Brienne AND Jaime’s relationship. -conor_finlay

50:17 (+5) Samwell Tarly:

Jorah receives Heartsbane, the Tarly family sword from Samwell, as a remembrance to his father, the Lord Commander Jeor Mormont.

Samwell: "And I'd love to defend them with it. But I can't really hold it upright. Your father, he taught me how to be a man. How to do what's right. This is right." (Warm Fuzzy Moment)

51:00 (+5) Podrick Payne:

Podrick delivers a heartfelt rendition of the ballad, "Jenny of Oldstones":

"High in the halls of the Kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones who'd been gone for so very long
She couldn't remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave...
Never wanted to leave...
Never wanted to leave...
Never wanted to leave...
Never wanted to leave..." (Sad Feels)

He should get an extra point for each feels moment that happened during his song. The song made all those moments way more emotional. And it was so beautiful I think it’s worth more than the standard 5 points. -kschamber
