Hey guys. I am so compelled by iTrvis's post on vote for Maesters. I am so voting for Maesters.
Yet, those of us who support Maesters cannot be complacent. Here we think, no way can the Armies and Knights win. NO WAY!
Surely we will win right?
Exhibit A: Lady Hillary of House Clinton
So let's pay heed to some troubling signs over the horizons. What could topple the solid poll rankings of Maesters so far?
I stumbled on this dark news in some dark corners of the Internetz. Apparently the campaign manager of one Magister Donald of House Trump the Merchant Prince, has decided to throw in his support for the Knights of Westeros, because after the Euphoria of Trump's successful campaign, he now feels a twinge of aimless miasma and was found twiddling his thumbs non-stop for 24 hours while mumbling on the streets. Witnesses say he snapped out of it when he stumbled into a cafe and overheard a heated argument between two Thrones players on why Maesters are great or why Knights should make Westeros great again...
So here goes....
"There's not much to say about the knights. You know who they are. You know what they can do. And you know you LOVE them.
Who gets laid? Maesters? Armies?
WRONG!
Knights get laid. And they even have their own tents to get laid in and camp followers who tag along with them.
You all dream of being knights. Even if you spout nobleness of your knowledge of being a Maester, you still wanna be a knight. You know it. Deep down in that sub-conscious of yours. Heck! You might even have role-played as a knight when you were a child in your Knights vs Knaves games. "I Wanna be a Knight! Why do you always get to be the knight? It's MY turn!"
Admit it. It's the Truth!
And for you girls out there... who would you rather adore and admire and throw roses at? And old creeky man with a chain? An entire smelly, muddy, dirty, 100-mile-on-foot army?
WRONG!
You would look longingly and smile at that guy in shiny armour riding in on his handsome horse. In fact, you have had fantasies of marrying a knight when you were a little girl.
Admit it. It's the TRUTH!
And those of you who are Kings and Lords. You have an Army. You say, that makes you powerful. But when there is no war, who do you invite into your Halls to dine and wine them, so that they may serve as your own personal guard and charm your citizens by just riding through looking all BadAss. KNIGHTS!
And when there is a war, who do you call upon to lead the charge of your army, or to cut through the opponent's armies like hot-knife through butter using the famous DOUBLE ENVELOPMENT formation ...... you know..... the PINCER MOVE..... no? HITTING THEM FROM BOTH SIDES!!!!! .... why YES! Knights charging on horses.
All that Metal! All that charm! All that BadAss!
I know you will do the right thing. To make Westeros great again. To make Chivalry great again.
Vote for the Knights.
