Who would you fight for?

[Shorty]

Let's say we're at Robert's death, and men and bannermen alike are popping up all over. This is an untold future, no one's outcomes are fixed! Whose side do you choose?

[CimminyCricket]

The King in the North obviously. I don't hail from Minnesota and not have loyalty to other people who enjoy freezing half to death.

[Jinx]

I'm not sure it'd be fighting, but the Tyrells. I am loyal to theeeem.

To me, they are a house that's cunning and clever, but also kind and merciful. And they look out for their own.

[Shorty]

Oops added poll option late!

[Jinx]

Okay, then from those options, I'd go with Danaerys. I feel like I'm grasping at straws here, but she's the best of those.

[CimminyCricket]

Well, now that I know that it's based off knowledge, I totally fucking regret choosing Rob. I'm pretty sure I just died by flaming tent

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

The King in the North!

[Shorty]

Nope, we are talking an alternate reality in which we do not know the outcome of the battle of the kings!

[CimminyCricket]

Then I'm sticking King in the North.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

This is hard. I'd obviously want to raise arms for the house I thought was most likely to win. I could go with the most honorable or whatever, but that's just going to get me killed if someone else takes the throne. Disregarding the show and books at this point and just considering the world at the time of Robert's death, it's still hard to say based on the choices there. Joffrey is a despicable person, but the Lannisters are a powerful house. Joffrey is just a kid, and I would probably think that Tywin is the one pulling all of the strings. He's not the best of people either, but none of the options feel particularly good. I feel like fighting for him would lead to a more sure victory in my mind. It's hard to say if the realm would be better for it in the end, but there would be a good chance (in my mind) that my life would be more secure when all is said and done.

Rob Stark would also be a good candidate as he is mostly away from the King's Landing nonsense, focusing more on the North. I could probably think that if I rode with him, I'd at least get some sense of security away from the rest of the battles, but there would still be battles in claiming that King of the North title. I also don't know if I'd do as well in that terrain. I dunno. I still think I'd side with Joffrey (meaning more the Lannisters and not him really), but Rob would be good if I could know for sure I could just stay away from it all.

[Psychotic]

Stannis the god damn Mannis 11 times out of 10. I am a true man and I declare my loyalty.

[Psychotic]

And then like the Terminator he just keeps on coming, smurfed up Mance Rayder's trout and now gonna trash the Boltons. Can't keep The Mannis down. Oh yeah and how did your precious Loras fare in trying to get Dragonstone back from him when he was half the world away fucking lmao

Anyone who doesn't love Stannis should burn their copies of the books and stop watching the show because they don't deserve it hope that helps

[Ayen]

Dany. Try fighting me halfway across the world, mofo.

[Kalevala]

Balon Greyjoy because even the show's writers forgot about him. Ain't no one gonna hassle me.

[theundeadhero]

I don't want to fight for any of those choices.

[Loony BoB]

I'd be a useless fighter, so I wouldn't fight. I think I'd back the Starks to some extent.

[Night Fury]

Dany

[Shiny]

The correct answer is: whoever lives.
The answer for this poll: the khaleesi mostly because dragons and also I like tropical islands

[Bones]

I'd say Robb.
If the fucking moron were still alive and didn't make such awful decisions sometimes.

On second thought... I guess not so much Robb but House Stark. I don't really like Robb, to be honest. He's too stupid to be king. If Ned were still alive and he wanted the iron throne (which I don't think he would), I would fight for him.

[Forsaken Lover]

Of the Five Kings, the one I was backing was Renly.

Of all the potential rulers, Dany, natch.

[escobert]

I would have fought for Rob. I don't think he's a great leader but I'd fight for the North! Once Rob was dead I'd side with Stannis since he is the true heir the throne.

[Madame Adequate]

Obviously Dany. If I wasn't in Slaver's Bay though, then Stannis.
