Mira's Choices
Did you choose Cersei or Margaery to appease in the throne room? Did you ask Margaery to intercede on the behalf of your family or did you stay silent - did you let Serra listen on the conversation? Did you forge the letter with the Tyrell Seal or do you let the opportunity pass?
What reasons do you have for choosing what you did, and do you wish you had chosen differently?

Wouldn´t have done it different.
First of all:
What happens if you take the Key and Sigil Stamp?!
Secondly:
Do you think Cole Kid and Sera are spies? If so who do they belong to? Varys? Little Finger? Cersei? Tyrian? Olenna?
I think Sera might be Cerseis (if she even is a spy) and the coal kid is most certainly a little bird of Varys.

Swore loyalty to the King. I know what happens when you cross the Lannisters, Margaery seems okay with it. I asked Margaery for help but I regret it, I knew it was too good to be true. I told Sera to leave. I don't know what forged letter but I assume you use the seal to send help to Ironrath? I just grabbed the key, I should have went all or nothing, I guess we'll see.
Coal Boy, and Sera are really hitting me as spies. I'm sure the one that would benefit the most from Sera would be Cersei, as displayed in the books she's not the best at the game and she want's an eye on Margaery so Sera might be her spy.
Coal Boy would probably be the spy of Little Finger. He seems pretty down in the dumps and dirty, but Little Finger has money and he can pay him off, I'm also pretty sure they have boys his age at the pleasure houses so it wouldn't be hard to find someone for the job since Little Finger owns a brothel. Coal Boy also mentioned someone who could help her. Who has money and would benefit from helping Mira? Little Finger. Just a theory I guess.
Varys does love his ''little birds'' so we don't need to guess about the coal kid. He IS Varys' spy and Sera is slightly sketchy, so I would ponder as if she will be telling Cersei about what goes on.
Little Finger would use a whore, not a little boy. That's Varys' trademark.
That's the part that's got me wondering. I'm pretty sure they had boy whores in brothels (Like Velvet from ASOIAF 14 years old). But Varys' trademark is children like him. So you're probably right, Coal Boy probably belongs to Varys. Thanks for pointing that out.
I don't trust anyone in Kings Landing. Not even Margaery.
A wise decision as Margaery is so IRRITATED with you for asking her for help.
I had to kiss a lot of butt to get her attention back.
I do think it's funny you can play all the master manipulators like fiddles, though.
I trust Tyrell's about as much as I trust Lanisters. I woudnt be surprised to learn that she did not even ask for Joffrey's help and tore her dress on purpose.
-Hedged my bets and took the middle road with all responses to the queen. Responses like the she is the most dangerous handmaiden in the all the courts by Tyrion was highly entertaining
-Courtsied to the queen
-said I would do anything for my family
-Declared loyalty to the king
-Made a side deal with Tyrion
-Took both the stamp and the key (didn't forge the letter??? wasn't an option)
-made a personal request rather then of my mother (thought it would be more convincing)
-smoothed over the ripped dress by showing sympathy
-didn't allow the other handmaiden in the room but mentioned afterwards we are still friends.
-Didn't give any info to the dirty boy but listened to the info he provided
Ditto. If you read the codex it says that Mira has been with Margaery since Highgarden, so they've been close for a long time. I treated Margaery as (I suppose) one would treat not just a friend, but a sister. I had Mira take the key (it was shiny and I like shiny things) but I had her pick up the seal, hesitate, and put it back to create more drama.
I fully expect Sera to talk shit about Mira to Cersei, even though she promised she wouldn't in my playthrough. There is no way in hell that Coaly isn't one of The Spider's little birds.
Reading about a forged letter but I didn't get an option to do so?
Since I like Tyrion and Varys I made the deal with Tyrion and see the coal boy as a friend.
In the throne room I did as Margaery asked: tell Cersei what she wants to hear (even though that made Margaery look bad, but she was fine with that afterwards)
I did ask Margaery for help, and let Sera stay, since when Cersei confronts Margaery about it, Margaery will know who the spy was.
And I didnt take the key or the stamp, since I dont want to betray Margaery just yet :P
Littlefinger does offer Lyn Corbray "gold and boys and promises" and he seemed a tad too talkative for one of Varys little birds (who apparently removed their tongues at least in the books). Littlefinger would have more reason to spy on Marg's haindmaiden, I doubt we'll see Littlefinger himself since he's supposed to be in the Eyrie, but perhaps Mira works for him in exchance for helping her family. Im leaning towards him myself
When I said "forge a letter", I was assuming that's what you did if you took the key and seal. I wouldn't know, because I took neither. I'm guessing Mira will next episode if you took them though - or something suitably deceptive.
Does anyone know what happens if you don't ask Marg for help?
Same on all counts except for swearing loyalty to Margaery over the king. On the upside, I think it helps counterbalance Margaery's displease at losing some political power from mother's request; on the downside, that... in all likelihood was NOT a wise move. Still, felt ballsy doing it. That said, while I'm not planning to screw over Margaery, I'm probably going to NEED that "Episode 2 preview dagger" now, if only for self-defence.
On the matter of trust... I was particularly suspicious of Sera early on, but as time passed, I'm getting the strong impression that she's not a spy and is the exact kind of air-headed dove that the Queen of Thorns likes to keep around. I see her less as a threat and me more as a hazard for her. I'm worried about my actions getting her killed somewhere down the road.
The coal boy... yeah, I'm cautious about him, but in all seriousness, I'd rather be in the good graces of the Spider than most other parties, although Margaery takes priority for me.
I couldn´t even bring myself to say I was loyal to the king. I know she asked me to but...I can´t betray her even if it´s pretending. She´s too good to Mira.
I truste the coal boy, however everybody knows that handmaids are all Cersei's bitches (excetp for Mira), so yeah, Sera is not to be trusted.
Me neither, you must only get to if you trust the coal boy right afterward. I took both, but didn't let him in on any plans, Since I let Sera listen to my plea I hope I can frame her as trying to frame me, if I get caught. I'm playing a very "long game".
Keep the boy as arm's left, kicked the chick out of the room, asked for help from everyone, pledged loyalty to the king. Stole the ring but not the stamp. The key is pretty, the stamp is a betrayal.
If I was to do something differently, it would probably be trusting the Coal boy more than I did.
I swore loyality to Cersei
I asked Margaery for help
I didn't let Serra listen our conversation
I took the key
I talked with the coal boy
I accepted Tyrion's help
I swore loyality to Cersei
I asked Margaery for help
I didn't let Serra listen our conversation
I took the key and the seal
I talked with the coal boy
I didn't accept Tyrion's help
And that's why you would never survive in this world were it real. For both your sakes, you have to play the "game".
I let coal kid in.
I tried to maintain as neutral as possible, but swore loyalty to the king in the end
I took the offer
I asked Margaery for help.
I let Sera stay. (Feel like that's somehow gonna come back to bite me)
I took the key but didn't take the seal.
seems like I have to watch the show, b/c I have no idea who you guys are talking about
I don´t really care how well I do while playing because if I have to die I will regardless of what I do (see Ethan) so I might as well pick the options that give me the most satisfaction. And annoying Cersei? Yes, please.
Let the coal boy in, and told him that Mira was worried for her family. Judging by the later interactions, I'm guessing he may have connections with a rebel alliance/those who oppose Joffrey. It could be useful to have eyes and ears on those around Mira, and the coal boy is capable of this. I think he is an asset, that is, if he isn't a spy as many others are saying.
I swore loyalty to the King. Which in my head, is like swearing loyalty to Margaery. She did ask Mira to say whatever she had to appease Cersei did she not?
Accepted Tyrion's offer, I presume it will be an advantage in the future. Especially seeing as all of the ironwood is now at risk to being taken by Ramsey and the Whitehills.
Didn't let Sera listen, she seems like the type to screw her friends over to be in the good graces of those higher up. I don't trust her just yet, she comes off as fickle.
Asked Margaery for help, it was worth a try. I would have felt bad had I not at least tried to help Mira's family.
Didn't take anything from Margaery's table, stealing will just come back and bite Mira in the ass. And if I did take something, then Sera may have noticed something was missing from the table and rat Mira out to Margaery.
I agree with Fonz1976. You have to swear loyalty to the king in that situation. Margaery asked Mira to lie to Cersei anyway. Much better to get on Cersei's good side.
I don´t have to do anything to please Cersei. If she kills me, she kills me but it will happen regardless. I´d rather feel satisfied with her being pissed off.
Exactly. I've dreamed of having the opportunity to piss Cersei off ever since I started watching the show. Sorry, Margaery - there's no way I'm going to pass that up.
Mira is in King's Landing. Talia is her younger sister at Ironrath.
