Kills

2:41 (+94) Arya Stark:

Masquerading as Walder Frey, Arya serves poisoned wine to a host of 47 Freys in the same dining hall where Robb and Catelyn were murdered at the Red Wedding.

"But you didn't slaughter every one of the Starks. No, no, that was your mistake. You should have ripped them all out, root and stem. Leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe. When people ask you what happened here tell them the North remembers. Tell them winter came for House Frey." (Kill of Unnamed Character)

I think the scoring criteria should purely go off of what happened in the show. It's truer to what the characters actually accomplished. The existence of the character on the draft list is simply based on pre-season rumors, and this one turned out to be insignificant.

I also don't want to start weighing whether or not characters will be countable towards named kills in the pre-season, when I'm just scouring all the casting lists to give players all the options to draft from. -nyan

Daenerys does get points for "Fire and Blood", but it does need to include both of them. It is a little loose here, the operative words are "winter"and "coming", and slight variations of it, but as long as those two words are together I think it's okay to count (but if everyone feels strongly about strict wording, we can stick to that). I do think the wording in both lines was chosen specifically to echo the Stark words.

I don't see much difference between "winter has come" and "winter came", in terms of how well it sticks to the wording - it would be both or none. The House Words scoring is just for dropping the lines, there's no need for them to be quality/impactful lines unlike the Insults category. -nyan

oh i thought references to jaime's loss of hand would count towards his special as well but mixed him up with theon there. i don't know if it should count as an incest referral - euron only stated the many ways in which he is superior to jaime. obviously he did this because everyone knows that jaime was/is cersei's lover and euron wants to replace him.
however, i don't feel like the incest implication is strong enough in this one :/

also: euron talks a whole deal about hands and basically repeats the same joke over and over again. his references become so obvious that they are not even that funny anymore but are more like a "hi i am better than jaime :>" - don't know how often these should be counted.

gotta admit that i am biased though as i am up against a euron-team this round and only a few points ahead :D -Lem Lemoncake

I argued pretty hard for the dip to 5 points after last season.

Basically it became really easy to reserve like 1/3 of your roster slots for streaming randos who were likely to die in the next episode, and this strategy was incredibly powerful in H2H with 10 point deaths. -jedjackoway

We'll keep it at 5, along the lines of the discussion last season. The deaths are a nice consolation, but shouldn't be a dominant strategy and it was being used that way with the adds. -nyan

@j.stainless11 I hear you, the nebulous specials are detrimental to fair scoring, at the same time implemented so the game could react better to fun stuff happening on the show. We do try to not be reactionary by adding stuff just because it happened in one episode, in this case Arya has been face changing for all of S6 so this seems like a well-established ability of hers at this point, not a one off. -nyan

I absolutely do not think that Arya should lose her Nymeria special @nathan. I would be fine with Arya adding Jaqen's old special additionally, many characters have multiple specials. I could maybe see a debate to replace the hitlist with this.

@talindsey you can argue for any character you like to get a new special, just start a new event. Your not gonna get anywhere trying to get other characters specials changed within the comments of separate character. There is currently a good debate going on about Euron's special too http://fantasora.com/event/3243 -ssantise
