No, Cersei is a terrible leader. She is a strong female character, but she is not a leader at all. Look at some of the stuff she does, and some of the things she says, although I'm thinking mainly about the book series. So far, I can see how you might think she's a great leader from the TV show, but trust me, she's not. And she may not necessarily be on the winning side for long...the book series isn't over. Nor is the TV series. Now Daenerys Targaryen on the other hand is a great leader, and I think she's a great candidate for this thread, although the TV series hasn't really gotten to the point where that happens. She is strong, just, empathic, rational, intelligent...and in my opinion by far the best candidate to sit the Iron Throne.
Where I live, the HBO show hasn't aired yet, can't really comment on that. Read entire ASOFIA years ago, rereading AFFC now. I think Daenerys Targaryen might make a great leader, but I'm still rooting for (quote) "Tywin with t**ts". Cersei is strong, rational, and knows betrayal and backstabbing are necessary tools to sit and keep the Iron throne. And she's more entertaining.
Spoilers for the The Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series of books:
Cersei ends up getting captured in her own trap after she becomes queen regent for Tommen and attempts to usurp Margaery Tyrell by coming up with a contrived story involving her having sex out of wedlock. It ends up biting her in the ass and she's imprisoned in the Sept of Baelor.
Meanwhile Daenarys has a ****-ton of plans that go very well. Including how she "captures" the Unsullied and her Genghis Khan-like conquering of the slaver cities.
I vaguely remember her being in prison, but, as Tyrion and Jamie proved, Lannisters never stay prisoners very long. I sure do hope she'll bounce back and continue the backstabbing and scheming.
Germany does have quite a few nice beers, but the best beer in the world comes from Belgium. And if I had to name a second best, the U.S., with all the great craft breweries popping up in the last several years, might just edge out Germany.
Thanks, Extremeicon. My country does'nt have alot to be chauvinistic about, but please let us have the beer.
On bad beers: I once had Hoegaerden Rosé - it's like beer for Barbie. Yuck. Also, Heineken tastes awful and gives me massive headaches. Sorry, Dutch people.
I think with the use of the word 'beerquest' you have just become my new favorite person; if that's actually you in your profile picture that would pretty much seal the deal right there.
NOTE: If you meant to put a space between 'beer' and 'quest' don't you dare change it. That one word is cooler than any other word ever invented.
Glad to introduce neologisms :D, tough I'm not a native speaker, you might've noticed. On the profile pic, now I'm really sorry that's not me, but Paul Whitehouse from 'The Fast Show' as Rowley Birkin, QC.
On beer topic: yesterday I tried an Asian beer: Singha. Very refreshing, not too sweet, as Asian beers sometimes are. Not something to remember and put in all-time favorites lists, though.
Thanks everybody for the enthousiastic replies on this thread! If anyone should like to visit Belgium on a beerquest, please let me know - I'd be glad to introduce you to Belgian beers and pubs!
Boinknet, I tried a Gulden Draak - I usuallly only drink blonde triples, but this was was a discovery, very intense, almost chocolaty. 10,5% is rather heavy though, (I had a couple of De Koninck before that).
Thanks for this great build. I'm putting this Dominatrix Deck together now. (love the name:-)) I used to run a Teysa deck that was much more controllish - ran 6 or 7 sweepers, Ensnaring Bridge, and Moat. What do you think of Land Tax instead of Weathered Wayfarer?
No, I'm not talking 'bout the sewage drain most people refer to as 'beer'. You know some beers are better than other (*) So what's your favorite? I prefer Triple Karmeliet, and any blonde Trappist, but I think Achel is really special.
So I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a while and finally put it together. Haven't tested it out yet, but if I take it to a FNM over my BR Aggro I'll post results accordingly. This list seems unlike most the ones people are trying out, but maybe just because it might not have a very high power level. Constructive criticism and feedback would be really appreciated!
Now, I've tried to make it so that when things rotate, most of this deck will remain intact. The Paths might be taken out for Doom Blade or something else. Also, I'm shorthanded on Marsh Flats so I'm using Terramorphic Expanse instead. If this deck tests well I'll have to buy a set of the Flats.

I just remembed a certain cardgame being printed in Belgium.
Also, my girlfriend is Dutch, so I would'nt completely dismiss anything from the Netherlands.

Beer novices: please steer clear of anything Gueuze/Lambic. It is a very aquired taste.
