Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice & Fire [OOC] -Concluded-

[The Valyria Empire]

This RP just ended. I have a poll to vote for the next RP, so feel free to vote.

I call the stark family!

Reservations will go up when the RP is up. Also if you play the Starks you'll have to follow the history I set up for them as I played them in Feast.

All major players who were in Feast I will be asking what they believe their house did in the 100 years, and during the War for the Dawn.

Edit: Oh shit, Winds of Winter has just passed A Dream of Spring.

[Utceforp]

For the next RP, would it be alright to create a new Northern house that controls the Stony Shore? From what I understand House Fisher ruled there as kings in the Age of Heroes but there's been no indication that they still do so as Stark vassals.

Hey Question,

We can play as our former custom houses right? Like their history transfer over to what we'll be doing next right? Cause if so I'd love to take up the Blacken mantle again

Yes, as I stated I will be discussing with the old players what happened following the end of the RP. Perhaps I'll make a Discord.

A discord would be interesting and likely far more effective and quick then us trying to hash it out in a TG

[The Valyria Empire]

Due to how close the final results were and due to possible puppets, I made the poll go for one more day. Just for the final decisions.

For the next RP, would it be alright to create a new Northern house that controls the Stony Shore? From what I understand House Fisher ruled there as kings in the Age of Heroes but there's been no indication that they still do so as Stark vassals.

They've had little to no mention. I believe they're extinct.

[Vladivostokava]

I'll be waiting. Sorry for disappearing. I got into a new relationship and it has gotten very serious.

I will be on a normal schedule with all of this, I am going to mongolia tomorrow. I'll be there for a day or two. I'll be back for sue on wednesday.

[The Valyria Empire]

It would seem A Rite of Conquest has won. Interesting how popular that choice was, considering how unpopular my RP, A Century of Blood was which took place at the same time period.

Oh well, guess I'll consider this a reboot/redux of that.

Yeah I thought that was the longshot, didn't seem to have many votes last time I checked.

Hopefully it doesn't die as quick as it did last time

[Blackledge]

Can I say that if we want an RP to not die the latter two options on the poll aren't the way to go? Rite of Conquest leaves few ways for stories to develop except for everyone bending the knee to Aegon due to Dragon WMDs. And Winds of Winter is similar if Dany is returning, and otherwise leaves players in a situation where at least four of the kingdoms are already depleted by war and presumably the intent is to make up a way a war against the Others could be RPed.

Something like A Dream of Spring, or a similarly based RP where players can start fresh, I think would ultimately allow more freedom and work better.
Just don't want to see another one die.

Dragons can be killed, though that's probably going to be near-impossible for most. And if I recall, most of the Westerosi fought alone, so perhaps if they united in the face of this common foe they could survive. Though I'm sure some will yield and bend the knee or refuse to work with others.

[The Valyria Empire]

Now Dream of Spring got ahead. I swear, this poll was really wonky. I feel like either people who weren't in this RP/haven't posted in this OOC voted or puppets were used. I'll flip a coin between Rite of Conquest and Dream of Spring, or if people want I could do one more poll.

Apologies for my absence, been a bit busy. I don't think I voted in this most recent poll - if it's another one - but I'm fine with either option. Really, any RP idea that's outside the normal timeline. For both, would it be Westerosi-only for player characters?

Yeah the vote really shifted, and I think ARoC actually lost votes. But, just taking the numbers into account, there were 22 voters and 22 people on the roster (though considering inactivity that seems a bit odd to me) so it checks out on a purely mathematical basis. Unless there is some way to see who voted, there is no way to know if only people on the roster are voting or if puppets are being used, sadly.

[The Valyria Empire]

I flipped a coin, heads for Rite and Tails for Spring.

I got heads, thus Rite will be first. However due to Spring having a huge popularity I will do that one following Rite.

For those who are concenered about Aegon conquering everyone be aware I do not plan on ending the RP after the Conquest nor do I plan on starting right at the Conquest. Aegon might not even invade Westeros, perhaps he'll go to Essos. It all depends on what the players do.

Also be aware that dragons can't be everywhere at once, and Aegon's numbers are very small so if he's distracted by something or his sisters are else where they could possibly be defeated.

Will those of us who were in the previous Pre-Conquest RP be allowed to reserve the houses we played as?

Yea, I would love to play as the house I did last time

I wasn't a participant of the original, but it seems sensible previous players should have first refusal with their former houses.

Valyria, when it comes to Rite, what sort of population and technology levels would we work with?

Technology wise the GoT universe seems to be pretty static, I don't think it really changed all that much from Aegon's Conquest to Robert's Rebellion

As far as population goes, I am unsure

[Blackledge]

It has been suggested that perhaps Dorne suffered greatly from the invasion, reducing its population from a point where it probably could realistically have fielded 50,000 spears to its diminished state in the current books.

I thought the diminished population was from Nymeria's War?

It never could have fielded that many, it was always an exaggeration.

With regards to the current era I believe Nymeria's War was a tad too far back in time. The Dragon's Wroth literally burned every Dornish castle, town and village for a period of several years. In the same way the effects of WWI are still felt on Serbia demographically today, some have suggested a similar situation in Dorne. Plus three major invasions within something like a century.

The population of Dorne was hardly affected in the War of Conquest. Rhaenys flew down, had a chat with the yellow toad, and went home leaving Dorne unconquered for the time.

"The Dornishmen fought no great battles against the Targaryens nor did they shelters in their castles, as they remembered the lessons of the Field of Fire and Harrenhal. The Dornish simply vanished before the dragons rather than give battle."

After the release of the Arianne sample chapters of Winds of Winter its assumed that the people of Dorne hid in the salt mines, thus the dragons never found them. The Dornish used guerrilla tactics, and the natural defenses of Dorne to strike at the enemy. They never butchered the population, only destroyed their castles.
