The Winning Move - An ASOIAF Skill-Focused System Story When Alistair Albright appeared in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, he knew impressively little about the world, its plot, the characters, and, really, anything useful. What little he did know was primarily centred around the iconic quote
"When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die. There is no middle way" - ... Someone
This, combined with the knowledge that Ned Stark, who was the hero, sort of, since he was part of the rebellion against the mad king, told him that the winning move for a commoner, or smallperson, he supposed, was not playing.
Then he caught wind of the kidnapping of Lyanna Stark, and that two Starks he had not heard of were coming to confront and demand things from the Mad King.
The Mad King who was famed for burning people.
He suddenly had an inkling concerning what started the rebellion, and what made Ned the Lord Paramount of the North. So, before he fled King's Landing, he thought he should at least see the people he doomed through inaction.
Then he saw how the people of Westeros reacted to the burning of two innocent men, one who was only twenty-two. Then he decided that Westeros needed good to triumph far more than he needed to avoid losing the game of thrones.
And who knows, perhaps he could still make a different kind of winning move for another good player who had what it took to win.
