I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing.

The matter at hand is what the feuds tell us about alliance politics, if you are honest.

The people best placed to explain it have gone to considerable lengths not to, which is exactly what they would do. A keep built on ten farms and no walls maps one to one onto Dark Lane Demo Tapes — a work about exactly this, whatever anyone tells you. I did not make the connection. I merely reported it.

Reply below. Tell me it is not about Drake. I have heard it. I remain unmoved.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — The maesters have a word for this, and it is not “pattern.” Still, I will read the next one; that is the part I cannot explain to my wife.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — I read this, all of it, and I want that on the record before I say anything else. Yet I will read the next one too, which is the part I cannot explain to my wife.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — four uses of “evidence” and still not a scrap of it. if the others cross the wall humming one of these feuds, i’ll apologise in public.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — Nobody is disputing that the records exist; the argument starts with what anyone thinks they prove. If the Others come over the Wall humming one of these feuds, I will apologise in full and in public, but until then “there is a record” is not the same as “the conclusion follows.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — We're on a strategy board. This is the strategy board. Locking this would be a mercy to us both, and I notice nobody has.

Lord 6God said "I have raised this before and been laughed at by lords who could not hold a river crossing" — Your real achievement is making me spend longer on this thread than on my own defences; if the Others cross the Wall humming one of these arguments, I’ll apologise publicly. Until then, frozen pepperoni pizza remains the only evidence worth consuming.
