Seems simple enough. The 'A Song of Ice and Fire' books were adapted into the 'Game of Thrones' TV series.

Yeah, it's this. The series is somewhat (in)famous for its frequent and often unexpected plot-twists. The blood stems from the fact that the titular throne is a jagged metal one made out of melted-down swords:

What's with the zombie-esque Oath Breaker avatar sets? I've seen them around here and there, but I don't know what they're about. SAclopedia doesn't really help in finding out their story.

It's from the Trad Games Oath thread. As a way to motivate themselves to finish painting their miniatures goons will "oath" some of them in that thread to be finished by a certain deadline. If they paint/model them well enough they might win prizes, if they fail to have them finished by the deadline they get the oathbreaker avatar. It's a bit like weight-loss toxxing over in YLLS.

YOSPOS has semi-regular cryptanalysis competitions. That's one of the prizes.

Before somebody asks, the name is a reference to Bletchley Park, where much of the codebreaking during WWII was done.

I think there were also a bunch of electricity outlets right underneath the ceiling, though I might be mixing that up with some other ill-advised goon house.
