Game of Thrones Bookreader Thread: ***TV SPOILERS ITT*** - Page 19

he edited the post so its not like hes beyond help. he is just very very very very very very very very confused... and also doesnt realize that we try to keep that thread unspoiled as well. at least we got both of these problems out of the way before the season starts.

Example:

RandomTroll, "I think Darth Vader might be Luke's father!"

RandomDude, "What? What a stupid theory. Obi Wan explicitly said that Darth Vader KILLED Anakin."

27offsuit, "Guys, I banned AlexM because he's spoilered."

RandomDude, "Wait, what? So that means that what I thought was just a stupid theory is actually a spoiler, and 27offsuit just confirmed it? NOW I'm spoiled when I actually wasn't before."

Luckily, most bookreaders who try to pretend they aren't and spoiler people are at least clever enough to mix in a good amount of false guesses, so people won't necessarily know what you've spoiled them about, but it all adds up.

Hi Alex,

Welcome to last month.

It's not a spoiler thread, it's a book reader thread, and those aren't in any books. This is what spoiler tags are for. Hell, it's pretty traditional with books in general for stuff about the latest book to be in spoilers for a month after release. Preview chapters definitely shouldn't be out of spoilers until the book is out.

If 3 days seems like a month to you, you're working too hard. Take a vacation.

Yeah, I think this is a no brainer, next new chapters talk should be spoiler tagged. I would edit my post if I could, the only reason I posted was because the first replies were all spoilers from SK and gobbo so I thought you guys were ok with it. I didnt even want to read the chapter like I said when I posted the link, I just read it after gobbo's feedback.
I think there's no need to discuss about yet another spoiler subject. Let's just forget about it.

Compressing it down to 40 seconds also helps

I'm rereading the series(almost done with ASoS) gearing up for the new season of the show to start. I'm enjoying it more the 2nd time b/c I'm not getting brain cramps trying to remember who is who and how they relate in the story.

The only thing that hasn't changed for me is every time I read "maester's chamber" I can't help but say "they gathered for the feast."

9 spoilers that are 83% true and 100% unbelievable. So you can say them freely and no one will believe you. They'll just think you're trolling them.
Bran turns into a tree.
Joffrey gets drunk on grape juice and chokes to death on it at his own wedding.
Sansa covers her hair in poison, kills Joffrey, turns into a wolf, sprouts wings and flies from the Red Keep. She goes into hiding taking on the bastard name Alyane Stone and spends her days awkwardly making out with her new "father".
Arya ends up selling oysters by the docks in Braavos and then is poisoned by an old man and goes blind.
Tyrion starts a dwarf comedy jousting troupe where he rides a pig and the other dwarf rides a dog and they attack a giant man bear.
Daenerys gets a bad case of the runs and has explosive diarrhea.
Rickon is found living among cannibals.
Cersei shaves her head and goes streaking through Kings Landing.
Lady Catelyn's body is found and in some twisted Disney magic, true love's kiss brings her back to life; where she instantly begins her one woman quest to rid the world of Freys.
