	Good quiz; a bit easy for those who have read the books recently, but I don't know how you could make it harder, unless you added more random people to die- that could be fun! :)

	seedsnipe:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 22:37 GMT		1 point
	Excellent quiz. This series has so many characters that I had a hard time remembering most of these names even though I finished the fourth book earlier this year.

	cappy:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 07:11 GMT		1 point
	Only problem I had with it was that some characters, the last name was okay (Mormont, for example). Some, the first name was okay (Tywin, Oberyn), and others, you had to have the first and last name, or a title (Maester Aemon, Eddard Stark).

	America:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 14:00 GMT		1 point
	@cappy: I fixed Aemon and Eddard to be acceptable answers. As for the last names... I only made the last name acceptable if it was unique to one answer. Stark, for example, is not acceptable because it would give you multiple answers. The same for Targaryen.

	Nice quiz. I liked that you took nicknames as well, as I couldn't remember the full names of the 'Old bear', 'Red Viper', or 'Beggar King' for the life of me.

	DirtyBird04:	Jul 6th, 2010 at 05:58 GMT		3 points
	Funny, I was just thinking how the nicknames would have been helpful since I was struggling to come up with Oberyn until the last minute...Except I was typing in Red Scorpion instead of Red Viper! Heh

	llewelynofwales:	Aug 1st, 2010 at 04:28 GMT		-2 points
	Can we please, please add the Hound? If Oberyn can be considered a major character, so can Sandor Clegane. If you also really wanted to be tricky, you could add Davos Seaworth, who was supposedly beheaded by a Lannister minion in Feast for Crows. Although to be honest, I hope this is one of Martin's "deaths" that get reversed and Davos is really alive (fav character).

	frankmerriwell:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 17:40 GMT		5 points
	fun quiz. Too much time, I think. And Sandor Clegane doesn't belong, we don't know that he's actually dead. Just "at rest".

	tallsaul:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 18:12 GMT		0 points
	Didn't we learn who killed Joffrey? I don't have a book with me at the moment, but doesn't Baelish hire one of the little people jousters to do it (or did they just create the diversion)?

	America:	Oct 19th, 2010 at 15:49 GMT		1 point
	I appreciate the feedback folks. That being said, I'm reluctant to include anybody who's corpse hasn't been witnessed, or who's death wasn't directly spotted ("The king of the Iron Islands" is the lone exception here). @tallsaul: I'm not sure about that. It was my impression that Lady Olenna was responsible, but I don't believe it's been clearly stated by any of the characters. I could be wrong.

	darkranger31:	Apr 3rd, 2011 at 18:39 GMT		1 point
	On that note, you could always add a couple of "supposed to be dead/unconfirmed" folks. Brienne of Tarth comes to mind, and I agree with the comment about Davos and the Hound as well.

	johnlk:	May 28th, 2011 at 17:59 GMT		1 point
	Dany mercy kills Drogo, surely?

	johnlk:	May 28th, 2011 at 18:13 GMT		4 points
	You might add Hoster Tully, whose death is certainly a significant plot point. Maybe also Shae, Luwin, and Jory and Rodrik Cassel, who are reasonably important characters. Otherwise it starts to get down to minor characters, I guess - Yoren, Mandon Moore, Polliver, the Tickler, Reese, Urswyck, Biter, Rorge, Vargo Hoat, Shagwell, Timeon, Ser Dontos, Ser Stafford Lannister, Ser Stevron Frey, Jinglebell, Ser Ryman Frey, Will, Ser Waymar Royce, Gared, Rickard Karstark and two of his sons, Littlejon Umber, Dancey Mormont, Helman Tallhart, Leobald Tallhart, Cley Cerwyn, Qhorin Halfhand, Medger Cerwyn, Cressen, Alester Florent, Davos's three eldest sons, Ser Cortnay Penrose, Ser Robar Royce, Petyr Pimple, Merrett Frey, Pate, Chett, Ser Preston Greenfield, Ser Aron Santagar, Donal Noye, Small Paul, the fat high septon, the high septon that Osney Kettleblack kills, Mirri Maz Duur...man, might be easier to name characters who are alive.

	Just finished Dance and it still isn't clear who poisoned Joff... I don't want to ruin anything by commenting on anything else though. The book was if not the best so far, it was at least on par with your favorite.

	Noisewater:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 01:35 GMT		3 points
	I know his death actually occurred just before the actual plot starts, but I think since Jon Arryn's death actually got this whole bloodbath started, he's important enough to be included. Also Hoster Tully could be included. (Curiously, I can't seem to think of anybody else who died of natural causes. Westeros, apparently, is a poor place to go if you wish to settle down and grow old.)

	Noisewater:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 01:38 GMT		1 point
	Whoops, forgot about Maester Aemon. Still not very good odds.

	Radagast:	Sep 16th, 2011 at 21:43 GMT		3 points
	I thought it was made pretty clear the the Tyrells killed Joffrey? Maybe it's not as direct as I'm remembering - I'll have to read those chapters again.

	America:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 03:31 GMT		3 points
	I had decided I was going to add Jon Arryn because Noisewater made a good point about his death initiating the story, but then I got to thinking... Technically that happened before the chronology of the books, and there are a lot of other deaths that happened beforehand that you could argue "sparked" the series. From Aerys to Rhaegar, and even Brandon and Rickard Stark. What do you all think?

	Noisewater:	Oct 1st, 2011 at 19:40 GMT		1 point
	The events of Robert's Rebellion are obviously important to the story, but they didn't necessarily "cause" them. I mean, if Arryn hadn't been killed, perhaps Cersei and Jaime would have been exposed more credibly; they would have been found guilty, and that would be that. ... Of course, then Robert is still left without an heir, and Stannis and Renly would still fight over the throne, and Dany and Aegon are still biding their time across the Narrow Sea. So maybe the collapse of Westeros was inevitable and Jon Arryn's didn't cause it, only brought it about a little faster. Who knows?

	Lethal_Quizzle:	Oct 4th, 2011 at 23:05 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz. I agree on your policy over unconfirmed deaths, although I think they should still yield bonus points. Examples: Brienne of Tarth(undead or did she save herself at the last minute?), Sandor Clegane (is the testimony of the preist who buried him to be believed?), Ser Gregor Clegane (did he really die, or has he become 'Ser Robert Strong'?), Benjen Stark (is he dead, or is he the undead 'Coldhands'?), 'King' Stannis Baratheon (dead if the uncredible word of Ramsay Bolton is to be believed) and Lord Commander Jon Snow (mortally wounded at the end of ADWD, but will he actually die?).

	moliphino:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 04:58 GMT		3 points
	I thought Littlefinger provided the poison (gave Ser Dontos the hairnet to give to Sansa) and the Tyrell grandmother gave it to Joffrey.

	America:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 13:54 GMT		4 points
	For clarification on Joffrey's murder, I've discovered this: http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/FAQ/Entry/Who_killed_Joffrey/ which essentially suspects exactly what Moliphino says above, but is hardly conclusive. It certainly seems obvious that Lady Olenna removed the poison from the hairnet, but we can't know for certain if she's the one who put it in the chalice.

	Noisewater:	Mar 28th, 2012 at 23:52 GMT		1 point
	I think Arys Oakheart should be included here. He was a non-one/off POV character.

	America:	Apr 4th, 2012 at 23:55 GMT		1 point
	@Noisewater, wish granted! I've also added a fair few bonus answers for some of the deaths that preceded the books, as well as some of the unconfirmed deaths, based on the suggestions of you fine folks in the Sporcle Community.

	Jorster:	Apr 5th, 2012 at 18:27 GMT		4 points
	There are a couple more I'd recommend adding-- Grand Maester Pycelle (killed by Varys just before Kevan) Jon Arryn (though its been said) Shae (killed by Tyrion -- where do the ****s go?) Beric Dondarrion (died giving life back to Catelyn) Plus those you think died until you realize they didn't? (Bran, Rickon, Dany, etc.)

	johnlk:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 17:11 GMT		2 points
	Pycelle should definitely be included, I think. Besides those Jorster suggests, what about Dontos, Maester Luwin, Ser Rodrik Cassel, Ser Amory Lorch (eaten by a bear!), Vargo Hoat, Yoren, Ygritte?

	awix:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 00:41 GMT		-1 points
	NO REEK????? THIS QUIZ LOSES ALL MERIT. Just kidding, good quiz.

	maaxwell:	Jul 14th, 2012 at 17:51 GMT		1 point
	JANOS SLYNT surely qualifies by now... @johnlk: Some characters you've named (ie. Medger??) don't exist, and others (ie. Urswyck) are not stated to be dead anywhere

	maaxwell:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 16:24 GMT		1 point
	Ah, my mistake about Medger, just found him in an appendix

	pat168:	Aug 12th, 2012 at 00:36 GMT		2 points
	@tallsaul, yes we do know who killed Joffrey. "[Petyr Baelish] then goes on to explain his role in plotting Joffrey's murder, having plotted with Olenna Redwyne details including a hairnet laced with black amethysts that Dontos had insisted Sansa wear to the feast. The amethysts were in reality The Strangler, the poison used to kill Joffrey; Sansa had unwittingly smuggled them into the feast." from the wiki.

	alastor:	Oct 4th, 2012 at 17:47 GMT		-1 points
	Maester Aemon just died, as you stated in your own clue - he wasn't killed, so he doesn't fit the quiz. Balon Greyjoy similarly.

	America:	Oct 23rd, 2012 at 12:43 GMT		2 points
	@alastor: in the context of the quiz's title question "killed" refers to "killed off" as in by the author. The title as it would appear on the user created quizzes page reads "A Song of Ice and Fire Major DEATHS". So the quiz need not be exclusively characters who were murdered.

	LadyMartell:	Dec 15th, 2012 at 21:04 GMT		1 point
	Fun quiz, the first one I managed to breeze through!

	mistrbrwn:	Mar 22nd, 2013 at 19:46 GMT		1 point
	Janos Slynt indeed. "Edd, fetch me a block"
