Consistent spelling is a relatively modern invention.
Shakespeare signed his name with at least three different spellings.
None of them are how we spell it today.

Happy thanksgiving coming up to all our American players! Understand many of you will be less available, so striving to get Day 4 official event &
rumours up tonight.

[Ereth Redwain]

I'll be available, have no money to do anything, other than what I need to cook the dinner for thanks giving.

Happy Thanksgiving for those that will be very absent

On another news... I think NATO (Turkey) and Russia are having a bad day...

[Yoren longshore]

Turkey always has a bad time before thanksgiving

Sigh...

So much of my day has been.

Move cat from my chair to her bed.
Sit in chair and read.
Cat sits on table beside me.
Go make a sandwhich.
Move cat from my chair to her bed.
Sit in chair and eat sandwhich.
Cat sits on table beside me.
Go check the boards.
Move cat from my chair to her bed.
Sit in chair and watch some tv.
Cat sits on table beside me.
Go check for the mail.
Move cat from my chair to her bed.
Sit in chair and read the mail.
Cat sits on table beside me.
Go to the bathroom.
Move cat from my chair to her bed...

13 is perfectly marriageable. Though I don't quite see why marrying Bracken to Lyras would foster peace between Bracken and Blackwood.

Also, this time it's Theo's turn to arrange marriages, though he arguably pushed through Ben&
Corrine (even if that probably was happening anyway), and he sort of has arranged one for himself. He also had a hand (and more) in Kevan's marriage. He doesn't advertise much, though.

Without Theo, Sofia would be happily married to Ser Benjen Frey. :mrgreen:

In what way did Theo push through Ben &
Corrine's marriage? Was that what he talked to Isobel about?

When Corrine decided to let Gwyn marry Baelon Theo pulled the "
Marry Ben or Tullison will feel insulted"
-card.

But she was marrying him anyway.

[Marq Mooton]

That may be so, but you were in need of a pretext to push it through, no?

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

That may be so, but you were in need of a pretext to push it through, no?

Not especially. If she hadn't have been already planning to marry Ben, she'd have offered to find Dunstan a wife as compensation for Gwyn.

That movie was...not so great. But still! :mrgreen:

No one is so good that the dice cannot doom them... and hubris is an assured downfall, so better to just accept that we will fail from time to time.

Failure can be fun and make a good story! A chance to make a new nemesis/rival, overcome hubris or change a character's view. Cooking up some ideas with Septon on character growth post his botched sleight of hand.

[Septon Arlyn]

Yep we sure are.

Also, for the other American folks, happy turkey day.

I'm thankful for the tight-knit little group we formed here, for the story and fun we've been able to escape to for the past year or so.

Well said! Has gone surprisingly well for an emergency replacement for the short lived but excellent "

.

I agree. I never thought I would be able to say that I have worked on a character for a year. Most of the RPG games I play tend to fizzle after 6 months.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

I too am grateful for this group and this game.

[Nathaniel Mason]

I am grateful for Reader, since he is the glue that keeps all the disparate and contradictory personalities together.

Seconded.

It is quite a thing, that is for damn sure

here is a toast to you, reader.

Cheers guys!

Just back from work drinks (rock and roll, back just after 10pm...) so weekend posting will kick in on Saturday. Off work this week, so hopefully lots of time for gaming.
