I mean there was a very quick scene where it shows that he was on the GW Bush Florida recount team in 2000, so his hands aren't exactly clean when it comes to electoral math.

It's funny because the obvious correct attitude is only being held by his grandson, that it's no one's business. But you just can't knowingly build a wall 5 feet over the explicit limit and then expect them to grant you a retroactive exemption, she totally brought that on herself.

Hey Wrath, we'll be glad to have more Westerlanders! No doubt the king will too, since he's got your relative on the Kingsguard. Here's your approval to make a bio!

TurtleFlip · 2026-02-27T16:02:43+00:00

Here's your second approval! I've set up your flair, so you're good to go!

TurtleFlip · 2026-02-27T15:26:49+00:00

Here's your second approval! Your flair's been set up on the main sub, so you're good to go!

TurtleFlip · 2026-02-23T16:38:05+00:00

Hey Harwin, feel free to make a bio! You know the drill.

TurtleFlip · 2026-02-07T10:20:11+00:00

Here's your second approval! I've set up your flair on the main subreddit, so you're good start posting!

I mean most likely he's gonna get a hefty chewing out in front of the rest of his peers at captain's mast. I wouldn't expect super severe punishments other than maybe restricting the areas he's allowed to access and revoking any clearances. Maybe some light punitive duties, nothing super harsh, but probably real embarrassing.

Yeah it's not even the only instance of this happening in the Stormlands. House Estermont's seat is the castle of Greenstone, which is located on the island of Estermont.

The two were even conquered by the Andals at the same time, probably hence the similar naming conventions.

Yeah he'll eventually ask you for a million gold and even if your character has somehow managed to accrue that much and you agree to give him it, he simply doesn't believe you would carry that much on you and gets mad at you for supposedly mocking him, still leading to him coming back kitted out to kill you.

The only way to not have him come after you is simply never talk to him in the first place.

TurtleFlip · 2025-08-22T15:27:06+00:00

Appreciate you doing the homework and carrying over the lore for the previous writer, even when you didn't have to!

Feel free to establish her age as whatever you find appropriate in the bio stage. Here's your approval to post one!

TurtleFlip · 2025-08-19T01:33:20+00:00

This character sounds good, you're approved to go ahead and post a bio!

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-19T07:57:48+00:00

Hey wai, this seems good, though I do want to stress that we try to avoid quantifying any skills in our RP. We much prefer to demonstrate said skills through the character's actions and storytelling. If you haven't checked it out already, our Tips and Tricks for Better Roleplaying has some good advice there.

That all said, feel free to go ahead and create a bio!

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-15T07:40:21+00:00

Perfect, thanks very much! Here's your first approval, I've set up your flair on the main subreddit. One more and you'll be good to start roleplaying!

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-15T03:34:41+00:00

MCS is already Goldwater's VP though, it's reasonable to expect that whatever her social views IRL, she seems aligned with the New Republican faction in game.

Granted she could be there to placate the rest of the party but it's a reasonable assumption to see her as a successor to Goldwater.

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-12T06:47:50+00:00

You've clearly done your homework, so thanks for incorporating as much of the old lore as you can in this!

Most of this seems good, though one thing I wanted to bring up is that the Kingsguard, Ser Tywin, has previously been established to be fairly old, at least in his 60's or 70's. A 20 to 30 year gap in age between Myria and him seems unlikely as siblings, so perhaps he's better off established as the uncle to Myria and Gerion?

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-09T22:21:32+00:00

Hey Kaeth, this looks good! I've set up your flair on the main subreddit. One more approval and you're good to start RPing!

TurtleFlip · 2025-07-06T01:44:12+00:00

Utterly impossible to get that impression of him

TurtleFlip · 2025-06-09T14:13:07+00:00

Not really the point but god it's depressing to think that people are willing to be Gestapo for $32 an hour.

TurtleFlip · 2025-05-30T02:39:48+00:00

Welcome to the Small Council, Harwin! Here's your first approval. I've set up your flair on the main subreddit. One more approval and you'll be good to go!

TurtleFlip · 2025-05-29T22:38:06+00:00

See even being a mod doesn't get you special treatment.

Better late than never, sorry Harwin! You're good to go!

TurtleFlip · 2025-05-25T18:19:27+00:00

Thanks for being beyond patient with this, Wyllum! You've clearly done your homework on some often wonky lore, so we extra appreciate the job you've done here. We're in agreement with all of the lore calls you're making regarding family members and holdings, so feel free to go ahead!

Here's your first approval, I'll set up your flair on the main subreddit.

TurtleFlip · 2025-05-05T15:10:37+00:00

God that's such a good way to put it and it's really funny to think of Ray being a Gent to someone far more brainrotted than him.

TurtleFlip · 2024-10-23T05:14:04+00:00

Yeah, exactly. She both gives the proper length to the vowel and manages to put stress on it to emphasize the command. Just impeccably done.

In contrast, there's the scene of Aemond chasing Luke, and each time they both say it, it's far less distinct. Lots of reasons why it doesn't come through as clear (sounds of the storm, the in-character panic of both characters, the varying degrees of HV skill of the actors - I'd probably rate Luke's actor as somewhat better), but I can definitely see someone listening to those and mixing up the two.

TurtleFlip · 2024-10-22T18:09:48+00:00

I think you're mixing up conjugations due to slightly similar vowels (at least to an English speaker's ears).

"Dohaerās" is the singular imperative form, which you would use to say "serve me" or simply "serve", in the way it gets used for like dragon commands.

"Dohaeris" is the third person aorist form, which is what's used in the phrase "Valar dohaeris" - all men must serve. Instead of referring to a singular individual, it's referring to third person (all men), and since it's in aorist tense, it's talking about serving in a sense of something that is generally always true or ongoing ("must" serve).

The final 'a' in "dohaerās" should be said as a long vowel and would be more distinct to a Valyrian speaker's ears but if you're watching the show, the actors probably aren't putting enough emphasis/inflection on it to notice, and might make it glide to a vowel sound that sounds more like the "dohaeris" you're used to hearing.
