New study determines that treacherous women have the best odds of survival on Game of Thrones
Living in Westeros on Game Of Thrones must be awfully scary, since people get murdered or killed in war so often that its hard to get too attached to any one person, but the Injury Epidemiology journal has just published a study on what sort of factors have the most impact on a person’s estimated chance of survival on Game Of Thrones in order to figure out who faces the most risk. Unsurprisingly, the characters who would be most likely to survive in any other setting are the most like to die on Game Of Thrones, with the study determining that characters who are “male or lowborn” (meaning they’re just regular folk) who are “featured more prominently” and never “switched allegiance” have the highest risk of death. That means the inverse is also true, so highborn women who have betrayed someone have the best chance of survival—a conclusion that owes a lot to Cersei Lannister and Sansa Stark.
