Tournament v2.0 Nomination thread

This is from the first go, and why it's fun.

Give me as many names as you like, I'm aiming for 48.

My adition to Danny:

Tormund, Mead-King of Ruddy Hall, as Barbarian.

Brienne, the Maid of Tarth, as the Knight.

The Kindly Man, servant of the Many-Faced God at the House of Black and White, as the Rogue.

Re: Tournament v2.0 Nomination thread

Boaz missed several key competitors.

I therefore submit:

1. Sam "The Slayer" Tarly
2. Podrick "The Tri-Pod" Payne
3. Tyrion "The Halfman" Lannister

Between these three warriors, they have survived the most deadly battles in Westeros, emerging almost unscathed and leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. The thousands killed by this trio include a knight of the Kingsguard, a White Walker, and the most powerful High Lord in Westeros.

Re: Tournament v2.0 Nomination thread

Tywin, Amen. Hey, I was just posting the obvious becasue Wiggs said he was thinking of 48 or 64 and I think the latter is doable. Please help him with even more of the less obvious choices.

Ygritte, Jon Darry, Cotter Pyke, that black sorcerer of Euron's, the mercs that Quentyn betrayed (especially the woman), Jaqen H'ghar and Syrio Forel (they're not the same person), Robert Baratheon in his prime, the Titan's Bastard, Bittersteel, Bloodraven, Oznak Zo Pahl in his pink finery, Vargo Hoat, the Kettleblack brothers, Ser Aliser, Baelor Breakspear and Raymun Fossoway from The Hedge Knight, Prince Rhaegar, Dunstan Drumm with Red Rain, Ralf the Limper and Nute the Barber, Lothor Brune, Red Ronnet Connington, Yoren, Ser Robert Strong, Rolf Spicer, Grenn aka Aurochs, Randyll Tarly with Heartsbane, Hyle Hunt, Jacelyn Bywater, Willit, Ser Phillip Foote, Josmyn Peckledon, Xhondo, Jalabhar Xho, Stonesnake, Ebben, Squire Dalbridge, Alfyn Crowkiller, Zollo, Rattleshirt, Jaremy Rykker, Dolorous Edd, Gared from the AGOT prologue, and Shitmouth.

Also, I need to change Nestor Royce to Yohn, as in Bronze Yohn Royce.

Boaz, you gave 140+ suggestions, give it a rest, you helped Wiggs beyond the call of duty.
