can the brotherhood make alliances or only the 3 large houses XXX YYY ZZZ's

Had assumed so. But only one of them. An alliance can't be of more than two "grouping".

Course, I could be wrong.

So would it simply be a race then for who makes an alliance first? If two houses get a majority at 5 players before another two get a majority at 6, then first two win? How do you choose who to ally yourself with? Is this where meta comes in, and you say, "I'm not allying with XXXX because they shot me in a previous game"?

Not sure. Will obviously massively come down to who is left, what numbers are left, etc.

And this is also running on an ignorance of what powers are in play, who is playing this game of thrones that is operating from the shadows....

Well IF there's a phase 2 one house could simply lie about the numbers they have left.

I think we should just focus on killing zombies for the moment anyways.

So the zombies know who they are? Do the roled players? Or does no one?
We have to make an anon account and play eith two accounts. I'm super confused.

Also - hello

For the more experienced people am I right in reading there are no munches here?
Its going to be ridiculously hard to find the NK

No munches. Conversions.

But I imagine plenty of deaths via lynching and bullets and other stuff.

Gonna check my PM at 2pm

Do the House BR's only come into force after NK team are killed.

My take on it, from a quick read.

Doesn't help that I am not well up on storyline. Will need to re-read OP a good few times.

Sounds like just the three, it specifically says they can only make an alliance with one of the other two

This is what's confusing me.

At the moment, I'm presuming

Munch = conversion

Bounty Hunter

Night King = some sort of Cult leader? Although it sounds like a pretty strong role so maybe he cannot recruit every day

Night King plus 12 listed characters makes 13/21... 8 NRVs? but with some of those potentially being hidden characters and tbh they probably aren't basic NRVs anyway as they would surely need allegiance to some house

The line referencing such hidden characters in the OP stands out to me

Other factions / characters may exist in this game. There are no assigned roles in this game.

The characters part not so much but other factions is a bit of a surprise with 4 and the Night King already in the game. No assigned roles is interesting though. So even though characters are assigned I am guessing we don't have BGs/Seers etc but that that will all be done via prizes.


then there is this which really stands out

Surviving House’s can form alliances with each other on thread, using their provided anonymous accounts.

Didn't think this game had Anon accounts, but either way alliances could make this game complicated although I suppose until the Night King is killed they won't matter much.

another thing that should be pointed out for people like me who don't usually read the OP properly too is

There will be no secret tasks in the game thread.

That's my take too.

On the most simplistic of levels, we are, for now, a team of villagers vs zombies. We all work together to take down the zombies, and once that's done, we can focus on individual glory.

I think we're all pretty much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ atm.

My reading of that is that each house has a separate account, so there are 21players but 25 accounts can post here

Guffy

Ok... so its vanilla enough to start, just the wolven party grows? Can we forget about the NK and just weed out the brotherhood!

No set goodie powers so the night king and his team can also win them which is quite annoying.

at this moment in time there is just the nightking, no zombies.

Ted_YNWA

I'm still paranoid that I am posting in the right account. Last anon game still has me frazzled over it.

Drumpot

Wonder if some people can’t be converted? Like Cersai once she has that BG lad around...

Ya the forgetting to sign into anon had turned me away for a while, couldnt be handling the pressure

Dublinandy2

I think we are all just going to have to assume we're all village until dsomeone dies and hope beyond hope the person who died, died for a reason to help us figure this out.

I'm in the car on my way from church to a meal so I'll be back later, if still alive. Hopefully someone cam explain to me in simple speak then.

When an alliance is formed, the sum total of members in the alliance will count towards the tally for numerical superiority. So, for example, House Stark has 2 players and House Lannister has 2 players, and there are 3 other players alive from other houses; if House’s Stark and Lannister ally, they will win the game.

Houses, plural.

Makes me think the Brotherhood counts as a house. HS + HL mentioned, then other houses means more than 1.

Why weed out the brotherhood am I missing something?

ummm forget about the Night King?!

that sets off alarm bells for me. Why forget about the person who has to be killed before any house can win? Why forget about the person who can convert people to his team? We should be trying to get them first (even if there is nothing really to go on) before he converts too many.

Why do you say this?

Once you said it I went back and read their OP bit, I had missed the bit about them and the Lannisters


Even in this deeply divided land there are men who swear no allegiance to any King or Queen, The Brotherhood without Banners a group of outlaws, who eschew loyalties to one house or another and actively work against Lannister interests throughout the Kingdom. Beric Dondarian, and the man who raised him from the dead Thoros of Myr are joined by Sandor Clegane, The Hound, younger brother of Queen Cersei's bodyguard The Mountain. There is no love lost between Sandor and his older brother, in fact there are many scores to settle.

So it appears that the three houses are not equal or at least do not have an equal run at the game. It'll be interesting to see how this bit plays out, could be a side-show we could do without in trying to get the NK.

But back to my original question? Why do you want to weed out the Brotherhood? Is this a claim to be house Lannister?

Necro

I wonder if it's like the show where you kill the NK that kills the wights too. Would presume so

The OP kinda fudges it

The three large Houses (Lannister, Stark and Targaryen) can only ally with 1 of the other 2 large houses at any one time.

Would actually presume not.

Once NK is killed no more conversions could happen, but anyone previously converted will play on as team Zombie with the aim of winning for the NK.

Wonder if there's hidden smaller houses then, and they can merge with 1 large house and any number of smaller houses. Plenty of houses in GoT to chose from.
