    Default Game of Thrones Season 7 pool?

    Thought it would be fun to have a games of thrones pool. One pool, you choose the person who will be sitting on the iron throne at the series completion. The other pool, you choose 10 characters or creatures (You can choose Drogon or Ghost, for instance) who were alive at the end of season 6, but you think will be dead by the end of season 7. The winner is the person who has the most correct deaths.

    And, go...

    Still not sure who I think will sit on the throne. I think that Martin would not place Jon, Daenerys or Tyrion on the throne (I call them the Big 3), because any of those 3 would be too obvious. Also, not convinced that there may actually be nobody on the throne at the end of the series...

    On the iron throne: nobody, the white walkers win

    Dead: everybody, the white walkers win.

    That's my out of left field bet.

    Not sure how I missed this.

    I hate to choose this but my choice in the end is Dany & Jon. Too much points toward it happening.

    Death list in Season 7:

    Cersei
    Beric
    Thoros
    Edd (guy at the Wall)
    Littlefinger
    Yara
    Euron
    Meera
    The Mountain
    Grey Worm

    I honestly wonder how much input Martin has now. Although everything points to Jon, Dany or Tyrion sitting on the throne, it is just too obvious for me. Martin has always been a guy that loves to throw curve balls and I think that having any of those 3, would just be too simple.

    My Pick to sit on the throne:

    Gendry. He has a legitimate claim to the throne and is obscure enough that I think he would satisfy Martin's need to not do the obvious.

    My second choice, would be that the iron throne is a pile of ash after the Dragon's roasted it, or shattered ice crystals after the Night King froze it.

    Only 1 right so far but it's still early in the season.

    damn ... wish I would have seen this earlier. I'll pick for episode 4 to 7 then.

    Grey Worm
    Dickon Tarly
    Randall Tarly
    Jamie
    Bronn
    Robert Strong
    Beric
    Thoros
    Edd Tollet
    Podrick and his magical C***

    Bonus - atleast one giant wight

    Edit: forgot to write who will eventually sit the Iron throne. Since Martin has an obsession with Targaryen obsession (he will be releasing a 2 part Targaryen history set with one likely out next year) I will go with Dany.

    Oooh ballsy! Totally fits the role of the usurper too and with Arya as a companion- youre in pretty good shape!

    At the end of this season Ill say f@qkface from the iron Isles.

    Series conclusion? Danaerys Targaryen.

    Alive now but doomed this season?

    Cersei- at the hands of the Valanqhuar (little brother)- sorry for spelling...
    Reek aka Theon- has to redeem himslef after that cowardly move on the boat fight- and he'll do it with an epic death.
    The hound- In Clegane bowl vs...
    Undead Cleagane (if that counts)- theyll find a way to both die this season
    Davos- hes on borrowed time and if he doesnt die then...
    Mellisandre- one of these two are donebar
    Little Girl Mormont- only cause we love her and they kill everyone we love
    Nymeria- in an epic save the day moment for Arya
    One dragon (Viserion?)- I know it would suck but i think it will set a tone if they prove dragons can die- and RR Martin worries more about plot than the fate of our favorites
    Jorah Mormont (2 seasons too late)- Theyll only "delay" the greyscale and he'll die in an epic "save danaerys" moment. Bonus points: his last word scripted is : Khaleesi

    I love the idea of Gendry and definitely like Martin to throw us for a loop. However, anybody who knows is dead (Jon Arryn, Ned, Stannis, Robert) or would have no intention of anointing him (Cersei who is gonna die anyway ala the valanquor and Littlefinger who wants it for himself.) Can't remember if Varys knows but who the hell knows where his intentions are.

    Melisandre knows. I think there are lots of people who could reveal it. I think they can get around it believably.

    I missed this? Doh

    Throne sitter at series end: Tyrion. In a different ASOIAF thread, Pengwin7 highlighted a line of text in Book 1 about Tyrion appearing small but casting a shadow large enough for a king. GRRM does like his long gestation foreshadowing so sign me up for the Half-Man claiming the kingdoms.

    Death list in Season 7 (excluding those witnessed in Eps 1-3):

    Cersei - seems obvious now
    Jaime - killed by Zombie Mountain for doing in the Queen
    Theon in a fit of bravery - h/t to Fighting Emu for that one. Good call.
    Missandei (spelling?) - Closes Grey Worm's narrative arc in a brutal way
    Hound - In CleganeBowl
    The Mountain - Also in CleganeBowl
    Ghost - To save on FX costs
    Daario Naharis - We haven't seen him yet this season. Betting he comes to Westeros as Dany's ally only to be bought by Cersei and turned.
    Viserion - Dragon goes down in the Southron battles, along with...
    Dany - (really just a hunch)
    14-team Keeper w/custom salary cap
    Keep btw 12-14, excl. Minors
    Skater cats (weight): G (1.75), A (1.75), +/- (0.75), Hits (0.75), BS (0.75)
    Goalie cats: W (0.25), GAA (1.00), SV% (1.00)

    C : Colton Kuznetsov Frost WKarlsson ---MBourque Rossi MSavoie Fantilli Carlsson
    LW: Caufield Hagel Nichushkin EKane---Musty
    RW: Tippett Necas Brown Kakko---Yurov Lysell Stankoven ECowan
    D : Theodore Seider Addison Klingberg Gostisbehere Fehervary---Edvinsson
    G : Talbot Korpisalo ---Commesso Augustine
    Bench/IR: Chabot Hart Novak Andersen

    2024 entry draft picks: 3 1sts, 1 2nd
    2025: 1 1st, 1 2nd, 1 3rd
    Fantrax IHL Champion: 2018/19, 2015/16, 2011/12
