EPTI have Episode 9 ready to be watched but having a hard time getting myself to press play. Like some others said, having read the books, it can't be worse than that. Easier to watch actors doing it instead of having to imagine it all in your head. Also interesting to hear that he actually uses the guy who made the Westeros website (huge website of the series with tons of history and explains pretty much everything) to double-check some of his characters. I guess even he can lose track of them all.

You'll find yourself in the minority with that opinion. Hardly anyone likes to be told what happens in a movie/book they plan on reading, it takes away a lot of the suspense. Wanting to find out what happens next is a lot of why people keep watching/reading. Definitely should be a perma-ban for major spoilers. | ||

There was actually an experiment that proved that people who got spoiled the story of some books didn't have their experiences ruined at all. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/08/spoilers-dont-spoil-anything/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/11/spoilers-study_n_924413.html http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/soc/2011_08spoilers.asp | ||

The best solution is, for blatant spoilers, to remove them as soon as they get posted so that the fewest possible people get spoiled. But I still think that worrying about this as a non-moderator is a waste of time. You can't control not being spoiled if you read things like twitter/reddit/4chan/any chatroom ever, I've even met people spoiling people on league and dota | ||

On the other hand you have Jaime who miraculously escapes some dead end situations multiple times, and Tyrion survives an axe to the face. Also, I'm really looking forward to how the Jaime storyline evolves. After all, he's supposed to keep his word and return the girls to the Stark family, right? Well, now they're dead so what does he do now? Surely he won't just do nothing about it, but how could he ever possibly make it up to the Starks for sparing his life? | ||

Threatening someone who posts speculations with a perma ban seems a little ridiculous to me. A perma ban on a forum about starcraft (and dota/league) for saying a few things that will happen in the future in a completely unrelated show? I think people who are afraid of spoilers are ruining the shows for themselves. I've been spoiled what happens in SnK and I didn't let it bother me. I could have, and it probably would have left a bad taste in my mouth if I did, but I didn't. And so, from my perspective, anyone whose enjoyment of a show is ruined just because they know a few things that will happen can only blame themselves. There was actually an experiment that proved that people who got spoiled the story of some books didn't have their experiences ruined at all. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/08/spoilers-dont-spoil-anything/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/11/spoilers-study_n_924413.html http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/soc/2011_08spoilers.asp We had this discussion once already in this thread. With the same articles. It was proven a fallacy last time as well. Furthermore do you really think it fair to make that decision on behalf of other people? The note specifically states not to spoil, so if you spoil under the veil of speculating a ban seems perfectly in line. | ||

Sure spoilering on accident is one thing. Spoilering on purpose and lying about it is one entirely thing all-together. Also stop trying to prove something that isn't based on facts and varies person to person. Theres no way you can tell someone their opinion is wrong on something like this. I indeed do get my experienced ruined depending the the subject being spoiled and how much was revealed. | ||

Stories are a series events told by the storyteller with extra details, pacing, order, and dressing. HBO and George RR Martin are better at telling stories than random internet poster. Id prefer to hear the story from the former | ||

Spoilers doesn't always ruin anticipation. There are those that come into episode 9 knowing what will happen but are still on the edge of their seat. What creates anticipation is the story telling. I still watch this episode and am still on the esge of my seat up to the moment talisa gets stabbed in the stomach. I don't think I'm the only one here who does that | ||

Not seeing how anticipation leads to a more enthralling story, is just ignorance. Way to generalize....I don't care very much about being spoiled since I can enjoy a show or book for other reasons, such as good dialogue, acting, story development etc. It's the opinion of the fool that everyone who doesn't share his pov is ignorant and wrong. | ||
