IMO Jon Snow being the chosen one from Melisandre's visions is still just speculation, evidence-wise there's nothing different than when she said the same for Stannis. Not sure that Jon being King in the North is a secret, rather than simply news for Tyrion. -nyan

Yeah she didn't use her special. more of a reference by saying the "the night is long". Also, why did Randall not get points for insults when talking to Jamie? -talindsey

Followup discussion in http://fantasora.com/event/3368, this was changed from a "Deals Brokered" to a "Convincing Argument", it doesn't seem like we ever really reached a "deal" just by Daenerys deciding to send a letter. -nyan

Insults Delivered / Funny Lines

Episode 3: The Queen's Justice

0:00 (+3) Melisandre:

to Varys: "I will return, dear Spider, one last time. I have to die in this strange country... just like you." (Threat)

submitted by hindsight44 (approved!)

Tyrion refers to himself as an imp quite a few times, doesn't make it any less insulting. Being referred to as a "spider" regardless if he personally uses it does not change the negative connotations around being referred to as a spider.

I think Melissandre's line was both eloquent and masterfully stated. First she calmly patronizes him as her "Dear Spider", in direct response to his threat (which is almost enough of insult for points alone). Then she cleverly follows this by referring to Westeroes as "this strange land". Finally she finishes of her beautiful line by returning the threat to Varys, that they both must die here. If she wanted to be dull and undeserving of points she would have just said "Varys you're gonna die in Westeroes." but she didn't. -ssantise

i think it was a great line and a threatening one. not an insult though. i'm not denying she should get points for the line at all; i agree she should get points for it being ominous and threatening, but not that it's an insult. that's all :) -ssleppy

I think context is what makes this a threat. Varys directly threatens her right before she says this. Before Varys threatened her she was passive and very open with Varys. This 180 attitude was to respond a threat with another threat. We have no evidence or proof to show this was definitvley from the flames, have Mel even interepted flames since Stannis?

Also this isnt a plain direct threat like Dany saying" Betray me and i will burn you alive." If there was no wit or innuendo Mel would have simply said "Varys you will die in Westeroes." But she did use wit.If you read between the lines what she meant by this was we are equals. Mel knows Varys hates magic and all who follow it, he has a very elitist and arrogant attitude when dealing with Magical entities (specifically priests of Rhollor). So when she says 'i will die here just like you.' she is saying get off your high horse you are no better than me, this country will claim both of us . Id say that is threatening and witty enough to warrant points. -hindsight44

Bronn: ??? (Funny Line)

submitted by kevinpetsky (approved!)

:D don't know if intended though.. but then again, considering the buddy movie comedy that just always happens as soon as Bronn and Jaime meet, Jaime could have asked intentionally to let Bronn participate in the fun he has with the poor boy's name. -Lem Lemoncake

I was thinking this line should be scored one way or another because it is either a funny line to get bronn in on the joke or an insult as it is disrespecting Dickon's name -angelsboy96

Its been a few days. I was hoping to see a decision on this as my match up practically hangs in the balance based on this! -angelsboy96

Note: original submission was to score this for Jaime.

There may be some conflation of this with his previous Rickon greeting, which was scored as an insult for Jaime (http://fantasora.com/event/3172). In this episode his line is just a straight greeting response of "Rickon." After Bronn starts laughing he even shoots him a "stop that" glance (http://imgur.com/NokTrxC)

I awarded the funny line points to Dickon. Like the Missandei/Daenerys "many things" dialogue, the whole exchange is needed to make the scene funny, but it doesn't turn into a funny scene until Dickon corrects him with his ridiculous name and then Bronn laughing in his face. Bronn would perhaps have gotten credit if he responded back with any kind of line, but alas he just laughed. -nyan
