Where would you go to see... if money or time were no object?
One of them for me would be Cherrapunji in India:

I guess if you're not on the list, you are 'no one', serving the Many-Faced God (I don't suggest anyone puts themselves forward as the Many-Faced God himself, or you'll probably be suspected of multi-ing).

Let's see who we an add:

Battalion - Podrick Payne: Loyal friend, and underestimated fighter. Wet behind the ears, but learning.
faces - Janos Slynt: Former holder of great power, and would be good guy. Has fallen in with the wrong crowd, gotten himself remove form power, and banished. Remains well connected in spite of that. Dangerous and no pushover to be sure, but thinks he's smarter and tougher than he really is.
Grand Admiral Thrawn - Hodor: Hodor.
jmo - Jon Arryn: Not really a player in this realm, but would be an improvement if here were. Betrayed and maligned by those of lesser character.
KICEMAN - Samwell Tarley: Scared of his own shadow, but smarter than your average bear, and an all around likeable chap after you grow tired of teasing him.
tassa - Ramsay Snow: Unconventional, self-absorbed, and stubborn. A real bastard, yet skilled enough to be dangerous. Unlikely to win anything because of rigid inflexibility.
YouCan'tHandleTheTruth - Waymar Royce: Of noble and honorable background, but somewhat troubled now in exile. Excessively argumentative even when faced with the facts that contradict his opinions, which he insists upon anyway.
tassa (2177 D)
26 Sep 14 UTC
i dont really consider myself as cruel and emotional as Ramsey :)
Facts be damned. I am TheTruth so, by my very name, I am right. Why would I not stick to my opinions? :-)
Battalion (2386 D)
27 Sep 14 UTC
I'll settle for that. Judging by some of the descriptions, I'm guessing you're going on the TV series rather than the books...

I'd more consider myself as an Eddard Stark type, with my ban from webdip being my execution.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)

Eddard Stark knew something about battle, tactics, and strategy. He was executed because he was dangerous. You were exiled because you're annoying. You're Slint to a tee.
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)

And I have read all the books, and watched the all four season of the TV productions. The books are far better of course, but the assessments above are not exclusive to books or TV, nor are any of these characters notably different. If anything I've used the books character development of certain figures to reaffirm the comparisons.
cypeg (2619 D)

"Eddard Stark knew something about battle, tactics, and strategy."
58% solo/draw rate...

"Eddard Stark knew something about battle, tactics, and strategy. He was executed because he was dangerous. You were exiled because you're annoying. You're Slint to a tee."
Eddard Stark betrayed Robert on his death bed by trying resisting the rule of Joffrey and trying to put Stannis on the throne. His attempt ultimately lead to his execution.

I betrayed JMO in reaction to new policies put in place by Zultar and that ended up in my ban.

There are multiple comparisons to be made to those events.

I also value honour and honesty above winning; I'd rather draw with an ally then solo, and have only be lead to backstabbing on four separate occasions.

I consider myself to be Eddard not because I like him as a character, but because there are actually parallels.

Although you do seem to have Janos Slynt's over-inflated sense of self-importance. You are the Lord of Harrenhal! Watch out for Jon Snow. He might lop your head off. ;)

"Although you do seem to have Janos Slynt's over-inflated sense of self-importance. You are the Lord of Harrenhal! Watch out for Jon Snow. He might lop your head off. ;)"
I have never claimed to be important (Hey, Eddard Stark has been irrelevant for 4 books now, and as the former admin of vdip I do think I was important at one point, but I did resign 6 months ago and my status was further reduced after being banned from webdip).

I just don't think Janos Slynt and me are at all related, as the only thing we have in common is Janos was exiled to the wall and I was banned from webdip. But there are so many characters that have been exiled that better describe my situation: both in terms of why they were exiled and in terms of having more similar personalities to me.

Faces, you know less about the Song of Fire and Ice than you know about Diplomacy. You're the last person in this lot that anyone would consider Eddard Stark. As noted above the fact that you see yourself as Stark, only reinforces your status as Slint.
Dammit, I was going for Samwell Tarly. Anyone who's played with me knows that I'm paranoid and afraid.
fasces349 (1007 D)

Ruffhaus 8 is Jon Snow, for he knows nothing.

You clearly don't know anything in regards to my diplomacy playstyle or the reason I got banned from webdip (which granted you're an outside observer) and your description of me in the Janos Slynt description is almost completely wrong (and the parts that are right are broad and better fit other characters).

The Lost Art of Reading Orders (feature request)
Because you need to click on a link to see the orders, I feel like players on this and other sites are not paying as close attention to the orders being issued. I know they're being shown graphically, but that can be ambiguous or hard to notice; reading the orders makes you notice things you might not have, like why something is failing or what another country is trying to do, or tell you (for gunboat games).

I'd suggest placing the latest set of orders just below the map.
