How to survive the Game of Thrones

[mini_beastie]

As we all know, being a character in George RR Martin’s magnum opus is fraught with peril as the author doesn't hold back when dealing out the gruesome death. So I thought we should try to put together a survival manual for the poor things. I’ve put this thread in the book section as it might be a bit spoilery for those who have only seen the TV series.

Rules for surviving the Game of Thrones:

1. Don’t be noble, stubborn and a bit naive
2. Don’t be an entitled little toe-rag
3. If your surname is Stark run and hide
4. Don’t trust Littlefinger
5. No really, don’t trust Littlefinger
6. If you are the illegitimate child of a dead king keep this fact very quiet
7. Don’t piss off Arya Stark
8. Don’t get married
9. Generally speaking, calling yourself a king is bad for your health
10. Seriously, even if you are his wife, don’t trust Littlefinger

Check if you're related to them before attempting fondling. Then just do it anyway, the resulting child might be king!
