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

14:06 (+3) Jaime Lannister:

Yeah, I had a few mistakes so it's possible that Jaime's +3 got balanced out by a -3 somewhere else. If you click into your team or your matchup, it will show an event log of all the events being counted for your characters. -nyan

36:29 (+3) Brienne of Tarth:

Brienne relents and allows her squire to have a drink.

Brienne: "I don't think that's wise - the battle might start at any moment."
[Podrick sad look]
Brienne: "Half cup." (Funny Line)

submitted by nyan (approved!)

41:24 (+3) Arya Stark:

to Sandor and Beric: "I'm not spending my final hours with you two miserable old shits." (Witty Insult)

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)

44:13 (+3) Arya Stark:

to Gendry: "I'm not the Red Woman. Take your own bloody pants off." (Funny Line)

Glasses of Wine Consumed

36:08 (+5) Jaime Lannister:

Tyrion raises a toast - "to the perils of self-betterment" and Jaime just gets his lips on the cup as Brienne and Podrick barge in. (Glass of Wine Consumed)

39:15 (+5) Arya Stark:

Sandor shares his wineskin with Arya atop the ramparts of Winterfell. (Glass of Wine Consumed)

45:50 (+5) Jaime Lannister:

Jaime refills his cup as the fireplace crew talks about the sexism of knighthood in Westeros. (Glass of Wine Consumed)

Acts of Intercourse

44:21 (+15) Arya Stark:

Arya spends her last night rolling around with Gendry 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)

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

Oh definitely, not at all - sorry if this implied that, it was attempting to put some kind of color onto the event descriptions. Lemme change it to match Arya's for now and see I'll revisit if I think up anything better while writing the blog post. -nyan

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

The Feels

34:25 (+5) Jon Snow:

The three remaining Night's Watch members share some banter and reflect on their beginnings.
Samwell: "Think back to where we started. Us, Grenn, Pyp."
Jon: "Now it's just us three."

39:25 (+5) Arya Stark:

Arya and the Hound share a drink atop the ramparts of Winterfell.

Arya: "No, I mean, what are you doing up here? You joined the Brotherhood. You went beyond the Wall with Jon. You're here now. Why? When was the last time you fought for anyone but yourself?"
Sandor: "I fought for you, didn't I?" (Warm Fuzzy Moment)

Is this a warm fuzzy moment? It's not a reunion, they met up last episode and the Hound complimented her. The conversation ended with "I don't want to spend my last few hours with you miserable shits." I feel like just bc they hound said one nice thing doesnt constitute a "warm and fuzzy moment." -hindsight44

I felt massive warm fuzzies at this moment. The Hound basically admitted to Arya that he cared about her more than anyone else he's ever had to fight for. -power.suit

it doesn't get any more warm and fuzzy from the Hound or Arya than this. They are both very reserved. The comment about this ending with 'you miserable shits' etc doesnt undo this moment - that's the nature of Arya/the Hounds relationship. Like how you only playfully insult your closest friends because you care about them. -ryanmcfarlane09

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
