Speaking of which, I was right about Danaerys. Selmy is always right, and it's Stannis 101 that you punish the people who committed the crimes, not punish the people FOR crimes. Otherwise it's bnot justice it's arbitrary justice.
Also there are two ways to view TV Hizdar's fitst appearance.  Either he was being sincere and genuinely cared about custom or this was the first test of the second greatest power in Meereen flexing his power and Danaerys unwisely acquiescing, Tywin 101.

Secondly Varys's face when Tywin asks him to send a message to Meereen is priceless, as is Oberyn's when he finds a problem that cannot be solved with sex. Of note is Oberyn's reaction when he hears that Jorah defected. He probably would have gone to Meereen himself if he wasn't preoccupied in Wessy broth.

Speaking of bugging, we're waiting on you over in TEN, Xan

...
That you are.

Look, if you cannot post, just give hour character to someone else or something. You're really holding up everybody like this. I mean, for what was supposed to be a short game, we've been at this for a long tile already.

Athena is definitely associated with war, even now. Also wisdom, but definitely war. She's also associated with the forge, so naming the AI managing a forge world ATHENA makes a lot of sense to me. So that it was named ARES? Suggests to me that ATHENA is the name of something much scarier
(She also has issues with Hephaestus, but honestly *all* the greek gods have issues with all the other greek gods. Almost without exception.)

I said Athena is more often remembered as being a goddess of wisdom.
And of course they did. If I spent time with folks who did as nasty of stuff as your typical Greek deity, I would also have issues with them, however hypocritical that might be if I was one too.

I for one, do not want little Xanlings hopped up on magic space pills. Violently opposed to it in fact.

Looks like I've got a volunteer for human testing!
Seriously, unless I can get a clone bank or something it's random animals I can find, Xanlings, or other inmates.

I was thinking we could name a security AI for Hephaestus TALOS, by the way.

I support this idea in lack of a better name. Although Talos would probably be better suited for a Titan. Talos being a giant robot and all.
Then again, we could name our Titans after actual Titans. Cronus, Hyperion, Iapetus, Atlas...
EDIT: Oh, and Uranus. That's got pun written all over it.

Oo...ran...us...I don't see it.
Anyways, given the number of things we have named after gods of various sorts...that works well, actually.

You could rename one of the three moons of Hephaestus Europa or Crete and put TALOS there.

Europa is already a big-name moon. And we wouldn't want to put a vital part of our security system light-seconds away from everything we want secure. (Plus, then we'd have to secure the moon, too.)


Seriously, is there a way to use plug.dj without something that identifies my RL name? I know some of you know mine already _{stupid Google} but I'd like to keep that stuff private.
