1 scout before any keep push. I look at defenders and the likely sword bill; I lost 10,577 swords at my own walls and learned expensively. You do not need another rally before scouting. Views was Drake’s scouting record, and most lords still miss the point.

Lord 6God said "I lost 10,577 swords at my own walls and learned expensively" — You can respect a man who holds land. The game is not about Drake. If the Others come over the Wall humming one of these, I will apologise in full and in public.

Lord 6God said "I lost 10,577 swords at my own walls and learned expensively" — The trouble began three days earlier, when everyone agreed there was no trouble at all. Lord 6God has the right of it: the game is not about Drake, and answering every reply is more than the maesters manage; you should weigh the answer, not the number of times it arrives. A busy raven is not a scout.

Lord 6God said "I lost 10,577 swords at my own walls and learned expensively" — I may have this wrong, but what happened just before everyone made the realm about one lord’s views? The strategy board is for the realm; I would rather keep the discussion there. What did you try first?
