Holding a tournament and a feast when he could have marched on King's Landing and taken the throne weeks/months if he'd just headed straight there. Not even doing enough to consummate his marriage to cement the alliance.

The only reason you might not want him is because it's just going to be a massive shitshow after he dies because Cersei and Jamie are terrible rulers. Irregardless posted... Tyrion would probably be the most competent ruler, Tywin would be a close second but he's a bit of an asshat too. Jon, Rob and Ned would probably be popular with the people but terrible administrators. though Ned seemed competent enough in Winterfell so who knows.

BlameAnesthesia 11/05/18 2:13:27 AM #41:	I think Jon is the most virtuous. People born into birthright tend to be pricks, or otherwise are ignorant to the plights of the masses. Jon was raised by a very fair and noble house, but was also an outsider, and his birthright hidden from him. This necessarily humbled him relative to the rest of Westerosi elite. He willingly chose an option of duty and service most only choose out of necessity after committing crimes. He suffered through a hard path and became a natural leader as a result of those experiences. None of his current standing is by choice. He does not seek power, and if anything, shirks it. He has all the good virtues and qualities of Ned, with the addition of having the fire of Targaryen blood. In other words, he is a more assertive Stark, or a more tempered Targaryen (depending on your point of view). It's the perfect blend of traits and why the series is "A song of ice and fire." He is the only logical ruler of Westeros. --- https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/watson_medical_algorithm.png <cite>BlameAnesthesia posted [p:911834436] in If you liv...

Dash_Harber 11/05/18 2:49:30 AM #43:	Tyrion. He's the only one that is both decent and capable. All the guys that are unambiguously 'good' like Ned or Jon are also catastrophically naive and stupid. All the guys that are super clever, like Tywin and Stannis, are also pretty morally grey at best. Tyrion seems like the best compromise. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:911835310] in If you liv...

Too_Many_Limes 11/05/18 4:27:44 AM #44:	pegusus123456 posted... Too_Many_Limes posted... I thought Renly didn't march on King's Landing immediately intentionally. With the Reach on his side he was already withholding supply to the city, fueling resentment among the smallfolk against the ruling Lannisters, and he was also giving the Starks and Lannisters time to burn each other out in the Riverlands. Maybe I'm being colored by the book - though this was back when there was very little difference between the two - but I don't remember any indication of that. Pretty much everyone, Renly included, knew that King's Landing was basically defenseless against his army. Stalling only gave Tywin time to figure out what to do. So I went and re-checked the book out of curiosity, and it turns out that its actually Tyrion who muses on Renly's march - noting that Renly's slow pace was allowing the Lannisters and Starks to waste their energy on each other which would give Renly the opportunity to deal with whoever remained. Tyrion does all this while observing the poor conditions in King's Landing due to the supply roads being closed in the Riverlands and the Reach. Cersei also makes similar comments that Renly's pace is allowing him to gather a pretty massive amount of strength before he marches on the city. It's not outright stated by anyone in Renly's camp that starving King's Landing and letting the Lannisters and Starks wear themselves out is his specific intent, but the consequences of his pace are made pretty clear. --- Scoop #5: Borash tried to interview Bigfoot, but he ran away, Borash suggested if we dance hard enough he will come back <cite>Too_Many_Limes posted [p:911837187] in If you liv...
