In part three of our eight-author series speculating on and examining our hopes for each faction in Game of Thrones 2.0, scantrell24 offers his opinions on House Lannister. Previous articles covered House Tyrell and House Greyjoy.
Note that the content of these articles are entirely speculation and wishes from players who consider themselves fans of each faction in question. Please do not take any predictions as fact. At the same time, if any of these guesses are correct, we demand all the credit.

Welcome to a brand new article series, "What are you smoking", where the otherwise level-headed Istaril and colleagues (this time, wwdrakey & JCwamma) lambast FFG for an idiotic decision.
Will this actually be a series? That depends on how often FFG makes idiotic decisions. So... yes.

By now you've probably seen my (joined by wwdrakey & JCwamma) rant about the new tournament structure. I do want to make it clear that I don't think the changes mean the sky is falling or will single-handedly ruin tournaments. I just think it's a universally bad decision, and I struggle to see *any* upside (aside from the "upside" of shorter tournaments, which wasn't a stated goal) - AND the whole thing is at odds with itself - contradicting its stated intentions.
I can't help but be frustrated when I think that people discussed and implemented a system that is, as far as I can see, marginally worse than the status quo in every way. So, if yesterday's snark was questioning what FFG were smoking, today, I thought I'd offer something more constructive. Some Rehab, if you will.
