Kills

27:57 (+1) Yara Greyjoy:

As thanks for her rescue, Yara headbutts Theon, bloodying his nose. (Minor Injury of Named Character)

51:50 (+10) Beric Dondarrion:

As the wight version of Ned Umber reawakens on the wall of the keep, Beric stabs the wight with his burning sword, lighting the body on fire and disposing of the wight for good. (Kill of Named Character)

The initial kill should be credited to The Night King or Wight Army. Just saying. -imonaship12

We don't know swho did the kill. It could be any number of Wight riders, Wights or the Night King. -klov3r

It was said on screen that its a message from the Night King- there should be at least some credit for that -Grog

"A message from the night king" doesn't constitute the kill though. We've seen other walkers do this. Like in S1E1. Trust me, I'd love the points. I have him on my team. But it's not enough. The night king could be in control of someone who killed him, etc. -klov3r

Scores have been added for the Night King winning the battle and conquering the Last Hearth (these were missed previously). I think we might also consider that any named characters reappearing as wights count as "Followers" of the Night King even if we don't see it happen (this can be made explicit by a Special scoring rule).

Political Wins

21:32 (+3) White Walker (Night King):

Tormund and the Night's Watch discovers the grisly scene at the Last Hearth, where the White Walkers have massacred the inhabits. (Victorious Battle)

Why it doesn't count to the white army as well? -guy.v

This is a very fair question. Traditionally for battles and gaining a castle, it's been attributed to only the commander (else you could start arguing that every individual soldier on the winning side gets to double up on those points). But having the entire army as a group draftable is something new this season. I feel like this could go either way, though it's a little weaker since we didn't see any on-screen wights in action. -nyan

Seems like if it's equal either way then the score should go to both or neither. My vote would be both. -mah13090

I'd vote against the proliferation of specials that are so loosely tied to actual appearances/direct references to the character. -jedjackoway

This one didn't seem to get a lot of support but I'll add it actually. @jedjackoway that's a very good line of thought about new proposals, and generally it doesn't feel worthy to give points when characters are not even there (this is why the "references to..." Specials generally don't count if the characters aren't in the scene).

In this case my feeling is that this would be a good stat to count if there were generally a "Team White Walkers" draftable group (like team defenses for NFL fantasy). With the lack of characters, I think the Night King was drafted by many people as a stand-in for that. This also is hopefully not too OP (I expect we see this 1-2 times at most), especially for a character that's already top-tier. -nyan

Theon and Yara share an embrace before they part ways to fight their separate parts of the war.
Yara: "You want to go to Wintefell. To fight for the Starks. Go. What is dead may never die."
Theon: "What is dead may never die."
Yara: "But kill the bastards anyway." (Warm Fuzzy Moment)
