Working my way up, at season 3 now.

Tyrion gets away with way more then he should. I love the character, but when you can get away with repeatedly slapping and publically humiliating a king who threatens his own mother with execution, you're wearing plot armor.

Up to season 4.

I'd call Tywin Lannister "Darth", but that would be giving Sith Lords way too much credit. He's the kind of schemer/manipulator Palpatine dreams of being, and he's the real deal ice in his vein's hardass, not a poser like Emo Anakin.

And Tywin is at best the second best player of the Game of Thrones. How crazy is that?

No spoilers please, but right now Dany is shaping up to clear the game.

And Robb was shaping up to win the 5 Kings War. It never goes that clean. :/

Shes got an army of undead that outnumbers hers by multiple amounts and Littlefinger with the Starks backed by the entire north and Vale to contend with. Yes shes got the unsullied and three young dragons, but if Dorne can kill multiple fully grown dragons, I'm sure the White Walkers can think of something. Dany wont win.

She probably will.

A challenge!

Let's bet on it. If she comes out of the end game alive and on top Neme, I'll take a 6 month ban. If she if she doesn't, you take a 4 month ban.

The stakes are too low.

The loser kills themselves.

Flyattractor Senior Member

That sounds like a good bet but only if you do it in a way that some character on the Show has died. Make it a Poll and let us vote on how YOU DIE!!!!

Littlefinger bringing up the rear in the race.

Kidnapped the "key to the North", assasinated a king, and made several valuble ally's. From off the grid to a player.

At the poinr where Tyrian is delivered to Dany.

Have to be honest, I've soured on her at the "chosen one". Too capracious to ever make a good leader. Rules not by law, but by whim. In her own way, she's much more dangerous then Joffrey ever was.

The best ruler to date was probably Robert.. He tried to balance rules with compassion, and he was so busy hunting, drinking, and ****ing he could never pervert into a tyrant.

He was the most human and relatable out of any of the prospective rulers.

No, lol. He was an awful ruler.

Tywin was a much better ruler than Robert.

Yeah the only good thing about Roberts rule was the lack of ruling he actually did. He let more capable people like Jon Arryn advise his "decisions". The second Jon Arryn passed he went running to Ned to pick up the slack (which is a great decision, or would have been if not for the Lannisters).

Tywin also did a great job with keeping Kings Landing in line in a time of turmoil for however short a time his rule was. He just had a massive blind spot in his irrational hate of Tyrion that ended up biting him. So far though, Jon Arryn did the best keeping the peace.

It was under Jon Arryn's watch that Littlefinger bamboozled Westeros and put it in debt, and Arryn couldn't rein in Robert's ridiculous spending habits, so I wouldn't say him either.

True enough but Littlefinger should be a pretty good master of coin in theory. I can't fault Arryn for the choice. He just got blindsided by Baelish's true intentions which he had no way of knowing. And to be fair, Littlefingers outplayed just about everyone so far. Who could have seen that coming?

EDIT: Though I did just realize that Ned was able to figure out Kings Landing's debt problem in just a few episodes/chapters. I suppose someone should have spoke up about that at some point in the decade+ of Roberts rule.

Not the full extent of the debt though, iirc. He was only aware of what was owed to Tywin, Varys pointed out that the debt was 3x highter. I like what Sir Barristan said about King Robert, 'He wasn't a good King, but he was a good man, and there was peace in his time.' I imagine the peasants of Westeros are yearning for the days when their only problem was the King diddling their daughters and fathering bastards.
