Hello everyone! I've been getting a lot of feedback about how I'm running this game and I have a few notes about that in this week's recap: http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/9/11640026/game-of-thrones-recap-season-6-episode-3-oathbreaker
A continued ongrats to everyone who drafted Jon Snow. He's doing quite well so far! WHODATHUNK IT.
I've also updated scoring for Week 2 in response to some of your feedback: Bran and Arya's scores have been adjusted (see Gamelong for Week 2 for details.)
Once again, questions should be directed to the comments on The Verge, but please be nice, and please read the intro to this week's post before commenting. Thanks! I had fun writing the recap for this week's largely boring episode!

WOW! Thanks everyone for signing up for GOGOT Season 6! Here is my inaugural recap which should answer most of your scoring questions for this week. As always, I need to remind everyone that (as always) scoring for this thing is a goof, and highly subjective, and prone to endless improvization. We're here for fun!
That said, there were a couple initial errors in scoring (Tyene and Nymeria were swapped, a -15 score for Cersei was placed in the wrong column) but those should be updated in the system shortly and corrected.
If you have questions, please don't tweet @ me! Please go to the comments on the recap.
