Honestly I'd normally write a post to answer, but since using this Fandom is akin to using Twitter, I'll limit myself and bugger off.

I hardly want to spend time explaining anything remotely mentioned here, but here's a nutshell answer, so that all who will come here and read those comments to have a laugh, like I do, will have more to laugh at.

It is good you do not respect power, Allyria. I congratulate you, and this was the only non-sarcastic part here, that you are, or were, able to determine such way of action is proper. Good for you.

I initially wanted to explain how "being cool" is about as good of a description as "being based" and go into detail, but fuck that. Figure it out yourselves.

Godzilla, you never cease to amaze me with your power of misinterpretation, gullibility and inability to use your keyboard. I'll let you figure out on your own which one is in respect to which part of your comment, as I will not continue.

That all being said, I wish all that stumble upon this magnificent little piece of almost human interaction a good day, if you laugh at is the way I do. If you do not, like the ones above [not you ringk, you magnificent little bastard], I hope your family has a nice Christmas.

Cheers you all, and remember to read with understanding

If I may, I suggest utilising Discord as a platform for such projects

Oh, I don't say I hate or don't admire the North for what it is. Their people are hardy, the Starks used to be a family of ruthless warriors and Lords, and they are quite a powerhouse if handled well. They simply are not as powerful as the Westerlands or the Reach, thus the rating being so low.

And yeah, bias is a thing. But if I went with a biased view I'd give them a 2/10

Nope. It will stay.

Not quite so, my friend.

House Lannister traces its legacy and power back to the ancient time of Age of Legends, with their ancestry being Lann the Clever, who is just as much an aged political figure as Bran the Builder and other ultra ancient Stark kings.

The Lannisters held an iron grip on the Westerlands for thousands of years, ruling over Reynes, Tarbecks, Crakehalls, Serretts, Kennings, Marbrands and many more. Their military and economical powerhouse of Casterly Rock and Lannisport is as ancient as Winterfell, perpahs as the Wall even. Their house was known for its wits, proficiency in battle and politics alike, and great ability to not partake in matters that would've had their power thrown into the pit, like Durrandons or Gardeners did. Even by the show ways, the Lannisters were a powerhouse for decades, with their peak in the recent centuries being brought by Tywin's grandfather, Gerold the Golden (who unfortunately didn't see much of Tywin's life, as he passed away a few years after his birth). After Tytos pathetic excuse of a rule, Tywin restored the glory House Lannister kept for generations, and improved upon it like few before him could.

So no, House Lannister is not young. And their power is not new. And neither is house Stark waning in its power. It's power simply never truly existed in the south apart from political plays, as their army was terribly late to most wars.

Oh yes, let us analyze those houses.

House Baratheon of Storm's End.

A house with history of being puppets of the Targaryens, their only true asset being their great warfare capabilities, which often led to their forces being the turning point of campaigns and politics. Poor economy and mediocre population in their realm. A solid 7/10

House Martell of Sunspear.

A house literally powerless outside of Dorne. Not once had their armies been successful when leaving its borders. Dorne's economy is acceptable, but the house itself rather pathetic in its absolute lack of any influence over the other kingdoms, even though its members are not the greatest idiots in Westeros. A solid 5/10

House Greyjoy of Pyke

A house of raiders, cutthroats and vile beasts. Powerful in its own realm, hardly a strength outside of it. Its members are great warriors without exception, and most of them are great leaders as well. A small, nearly pathetic realm whose power is ever waning. A 6/10 only because I like Victarion.

House Stark of Winterfell

The famous ever honourable frozen cunts of the North. Its funny a house with eons of bloody and unforgiving history is given "muh honour" by everyone when the only ones of this house we know were that way were Ned, Cat and their children due to Ned's upbringing in the Eyrie... The house itself is known for great warrior and politicians even, although it's influence in the seven kingdoms is rather... Small. They were almost always late to the campaign, had very little or no presence in the south politically, and generally didn't give a shit what was going on below the Neck. There rides, even though I like the story of the North itself and the great warriors and leaders Starks had, I give the house a 4/10 as they did practically nothing of note in comparison to the history of the rest of the seven kingdoms.

House Lannister of Casterly Rock

The house known for its power and wealth. Not known because of where they live, who they fuck, why are they the way they are, but known for its power and wealth. It speaks for itself. Their, to be frank, quite small realm, in comparison to any other kingdom, leads the Seven Kingdoms economically and militarily, with the Reach being a close second. The members of House Lannister were known to either not give a flying fuck about the Targaryens, or be a part of their wars as a very important asset. Before that, during the age of Petty Kings, House Lannister had no problems taking control of the entire Westerlands, an area comparable to very few military conquests in Westeros at that time. The current family of house Lannister needs no introduction, but perhaps people could use a little Lannister in them to understand life isn't all about honour, fair fighting and all that bollocks. But still, I digress and talk too much. So, as I place a score or 8/10 on House Lannister, I'd like to quote a friend of mine:

"If you cheer for logic, intelligence and ruthless defence of your family, and the understanding of the ways of the world, you cheer for the Lannisters.

If you're up for duty, naivety, following your feels instead of brains, Mary Sue-ism, Gary Stu-ism, fanboyism and fantasy as opposed to reality, you cheer for the Starks.

There's a reason they only started winning after impossible things such as resurrection, getting superpowers and becoming a fantasy ninja or becoming CCTV. Because in the real world, or just without cheats, they would lose as they initially did."

It was, Allice, it was.

I posted a meme on the discord about that right now, cause FANDOM ON MOBILE HAS A TERRIBLE INTERFACE, FIX THIS SHIT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF IT

Which is what I said you said.

While I agree with Alice and disagree on every point of what Godzilla said except for the part they both enjoy literature, cause that's facts, id like to mention that if I ever had to point out a character similar to Gamgee, I'd point to Bilbo.

To put it simple, I don't recall a single instance where you weren't absolutely and utterly wrong, aside from the part when you were speaking about pacifism being senseless in its absolutes.

See what I mean?

Alright then. Operator in JW GROM, ZB C Team 2 in the rank of Captain, promoted from the rank of Lieutenant five months ago

You'd be surprised, but people more often don't believe me when I give specifics than when I don't

And how do you know I'm not? You have nothing to base your knowledge upon, aside from the fact I periodically appear here.

But to answer your statement that I'm neither, I beg to differ. My military education from the officer school does give me a quite good basis to call myself a "strategist", and while I'm no politician, I have studied history for decades, mainly medieval and ancient period. So yes, I believe I am an authority enough to call out your lack of expertise in these fields. And no, I will not give names, units, countries or anything else to prove my point, I do not need to prove anything.

As for Baelor, Yeah. Basically. Baelor still was an idiot in a lot of ways.

Democracy for Seven Kingdoms wouldn't work imo. Take the Petty Kings era, which wasn't far different from current state. Each of the local power houses had absolute authority over their land, and nobody really held control. Seven Kingdoms happened only because there was a dynasty able to hold the entire area with their dragons. With that gone, the entire thing depends on the politics in between the most powerful houses. It'd be an oligarchy at best.

Aside from the fact that you're partially wrong on the fact that while Dorne did worship the Seven, (they didn't have a regional faith. In the northern and central Dorne the Seven and the Old Gods were worshipped, and in the rest it was either Rhoynar religion or the Lord of Light. Dorne was really a cultural mix, and there was no specific faith in there) I'm surprised you're aware that pacifist approach is the way of the lamb, considering your history of being obnoxiously incompetent in matters of politics and strategy.

It's good to see you're still counterpointing things you think someone wrote instead of what they actually did. Never change. Or do, if you want to improve.

Thank you for proving my point

If he did that, he'd also have to ban Martell religion, cause they do all the faiths available.

So in short, he'd piss off North, Iron Islands and Dorne. With that move he'd have the backing of the Reach, Stormlands, and Riverlands, with Westerlands and Vale being a big question marks since they could do either.

So yeah, not a good situation. Baelor can go die in a hole.
