Favorite AGOS quotes?
Okay so I was noticing something lately: Our game has some lulz. The shades of Jaime, Oberyn, Tyrion and co are totally proud of their descendents.
In a quest for snippets of wit and wisdom in Westeros I scrolled back through the old entries, and I have to inform all of you: OMG.
Plus, I have two new ships to put forward: I am henceforth totally shipping Myrwin/Ember and Hester/Jonath. Those four bring the lulz like nothing.
What are your fave lines?

Too many nobles in one spot, the food did tend to get worrisome. – Jonath Rowan
