Game of Thrones Ascent?

[Christory101]

Has anyone played the gaming sensation "Game of Thrones Ascent?" It is based off the runaway success "Game of Thrones" by George R.R Martin and HBO's series of the same title. It is a Facebook game a bit like Farmville, only far more exciting and fun to play. I am pledged to House Baratheon : :!!! I am a big Stannis supporter.

Anyone else play?

It is a Facebook game

I probably won't play it then.

But it's all about a TV show! It's got to be good! There is, after all, one born every minute.

Yes, I'm aware of the novels the show is based on. Had anyone besides me read them all (xcept the last one, natch) before there was a tv show? Didn't think so. The books are not what inspired a moneygrubbing braindead facebook game designed to collect microtransactions and annoy people on your friends list. My faith in humanity was already close to its nadir, but knowing that anyone would consider playing such a turd because OMG TV SHOW makes it hit the unseen bottom with a wet plop. Does all of life consist of television and relentless masturbation?

I actually heard of the TV show first, but it inspired me to first check out the books. The books are among my personal favorites. Facebook games just aren't worth my time. I also don't like to play licensed games because, with the rare exception, they're usually terribly made cash grabs.

I read the first three when I was in High School and A Feast for Crows came out my second to last semester before graduation (I got it as a Christmas gift from the same friend who introduced me to the series).
