I quite liked this question from new user kviiri. Short, succinct and surprisingly answerable
In terms of answers, I was especially proud of the one below. I spent a lot of time playing with the custom map and finally decided to make a video to demonstrate what I was talking about. The fact that it didn’t get many upvotes or an acceptance didn’t even bother me (that much). A good answer is its own reward 🙂
@SS’s demands seemed quite unreasonable at first glance, but with a bit of work, this question was actually pretty fun to answer:
I really enjoyed @Richard’s answer to my question

@JasonBaker’s answer to

Last but not least, I very much enjoyed @JasonBaker’s thorough answer to

My favourite answer
Nika G. posted an excellent answer to Why would Arya join the Faceless Men?
- She wants revenge. She’s hungry for the blood.
- Well researched
- Excellent analysis of how exactly she progressed from The Saltpans (previously known as Whitewalls) to The House of Black and White
- It tied-in her connection to Jaqen / The Faceless Men
- Tied-in her want for revenge
- All backed-up by relevant canon
My favourite question
The Honorable Ned Stark asked about the Origin of the name Azor Ahai
- It’s always good to ask the seemingly unanswerable questions

- Sent me delving into the depths of my favourite canon
- I had a lot of fun trying to find a suitable answer
- Made me learn so much, including that George R. R. Martin is extremely deliberate with his name choices!
- I maaay have earned some extra rep from the bounty offered by @Arm0geddon
My favorite question to answer was
Could the Earth-2149 Squirrel Girl destroy Colonel America’s shield?
a rare versus question that can be answered via science (sort of).
