I wanted to make a thread concerning the SoIaF series.


Who are your favourite characters? Who are you rooting for? What plot points made you go "SAY WHAT" etc.


My major problem is spoilers, as DS nearly stole my life from me when I revealed something in IRC, so how about the old WHITE TEXT stuff?


Let me test it (highlight below to see if works!!!)


Theon Greyjoy is the son of Aerys and the Queen of Thorns.


Is this a bad idea, or should we wait for the spoiler stuff tags or what? ADVICE PLS GUYS!!

A better alternative for spoiler tags might be just setting it to the color of the messagebox, at least with my browser I can read the white text just fine
[color=#E7EAEF]spoilers spoilers[/color]
Then it should be invisible (highlight below):
spoilers spoilers
Does that work? EDIT: Actually this doesn't work properly since the background changes with every other post, but for me it's better than the white color

Maybe it's just my terrible eyes that the white work well with. Bugger ;_;.

This is next to my bed, I bought it AFTER watching the first series of the TV show but I haven't opened it due to the huge amount of Oxfam science fiction novels that are on top of it. I've made the decision NOT to watch the 2nd series until it's done because I can't stand cliffhangers.

hehe that's fair, I'm annoyed with waiting WEEK BY WEEK for the show to happen.

I bought and read all five of the books just after episode 7 of the show aired (Dance with Dragons obv. had to wait until it was released shortly after the show finished) - like I've been really obsessed with the series since it started.

Read it ed, I'm pretty sure you will LOVE it if you liked the first season!

Yeah, I am suprised this topic is here and there is no presence of spoiler tags.

Even if we can get around it by finding an appreciable way to color the text invisible (really, all we need are the bg colors for both types of message boxes, since anyone can tell which color to use in their post by the color of the post made before it), it still won't satisfy my need to provide this topic with Game of Throne related cartoon doodles.

But making this topic was worth it if only to hear that you spoiled part of it for DS on irc.


Oh yeah, and if you enjoy the TV series for any of the characters, I can already tell you that the books are certainly well worth reading because it puts so much more focus and detail on the characters themselves. (every chapter is practically written in first person!)

Ya screw it, let's just wait for SPOILERTAGS in this case.
