What are your thoughts on this council made to rule Ironforge and the three main Dwarven clans in the Alliance, started in Cataclysm?

Do you think that it was and/or has led to interesting stories and writing for the Dwarves or not?

If you wanted, how and what you have changed about it, or replaced it?

While I do welcome the Dark Iron Dwarves becoming members of the Alliance, and the Wildhammers officially rejoining the Alliance, and some measure of reconciliation between the three clans, I have never been a fan of the council or how it was brought with Varian deciding for Dwarves instead of them choosing that solution or another one.

I strongly believe that the Wildhammer should have never accepted to return to and rejoin the kingdom of Ironforge, with their culture and lifestyle being too different by now from their subterrean-living cousins, and them having been independent for so long. And I see more the Wildhammer Dwarves as a coalition or federation of clans with a common culture, who aren't a kingdom and with their clans have more autonomy than in their cousins' political systems. And of course Dagran has zero claim of kingship over them.

The Dark Irons and them serving as the Alliance's token evil teammate, and them being distrusted and disliked by both their cousins and other Alliance races and members due to their history and culture and long hostility with others, and them joining the Alliance out of pragmatism and necessity without liking its ideals and the other members, and their different, darker methods, at least for a while, could have been explored much more and deeper.

I would have also written Moira and Muradin to have had a conflict or near-conflict after Magni's petrification and Moira's takeover and despotic rule over Ironforge with the Dark Irons being challenged by Muradin's return from Northrend and at least a large portion of Ironforge army and other Bronzebeards rallying behind him against Moira's authoritarian rule and association with the Dark Irons, many doing it because they are more loyal to Muradin after having served under him in the military before and during the Second War, and many using the claim that Moira is under the Dark Iron's thrall or spell; with the Gnomes and Stormwind and other members of the Alliance backing Muradin.

A compromise would eventually have been found, but decided either by the Dwarves themselves, or during an Alliance summit, with the Thorium Brotherhood also getting representation during the talks, and Moira and her supporters being forced to make major concessions to them given their hatred of and resistance to House Thaurissan, with them being given crucial roles and power within Dark Iron society, perhaps even with a charter similar to the English Magna Carta to limit the empress/emperor's powers over Shadowforge and create a senate like in Ironforge.

Which characters in ASOIAF are the best at thinking their feet and improvising or changing their plans well when they meet circumstances they couldn't have foreseen, such as an important character dying, a change of leadership, them facing newcomers who change the game, going through some bad luck, etc...?

Just how many and what kinds of business and operations Lando Calrissian has been involved into in the EU?

We all know that he's been a long time smuggler like Han, before becoming administrator of Cloud City on Bespin. In Thrawn Trilogy he's now operating an asteroid mining business with mole ships, until Thrawn hijacked his mole ships to try to steal the fleet at Sluis Van shipyards.

By the time of The New Jedi Order, he's now the head of a corporation designing fearsome battle droids, most notably the very powerful and sophisticated YVH 1 Droid.

What other business and operations has he gotten himself into?

What do you think of the way Stromgarde's lore and story in World of Warcraft and its expansions, as well as what happened to the kingdom after Warcraft II, have been handled by Blizzard writers?

How do you think that the story of the kingdom and its people should have been written in WoW and its expansions instead of how Blizz did it?

Personally, I can't say I am a fan of how the kingdom's downfall has been handled and described. Sure, it was interesting for Stormgarde to have seceded from the Alliance of Lordaeron, with more sympathetic and understandable reasons than Gilneas and Quel'Thalas, with them having supported the Alliance to the fullest since the beginning and played a key role in saving the Alliance during the Second War, with them suffering a lot, only for them to not reap any reward from it, with Terenas Menethil having denied Thoras Trollbane the right to annex Alterac and Stromgarde holding several of the internment camps despite Thoras' opposition to them.

But laying the kingdom's fall entirely on the Syndicate and Boulderfist Ogres sure felt anticlimactic. And that's not talking about how long it took for the kingdom to be restored in WoW, with Danath staying in the Outland and not returning to restore his kingdom until BFA. Nor the dreadful story with the Mag'har and Red Dawn afterward.

I think that the fall of the kingdom should have been in part at least because of the Scourge and/or Burning Legion during the Third War, even without Arthas attacking Stromgarde, with the Plague having reached Stromgarde, even if to a lesser degree than in Lordaeron, and Thoras Trollbane and his army having withstood and suffered terrible casualties trying to defend their kingdom from the endless waves of undead, which left the kingdom weakened and vulnerable to internal strife and the Syndicate's schemes.

Also, I would have made Danath and his troops return to Stromgarde to begin the reconquest and restoration of Stromgarde at the end of TBC, though he would have temporarily left again to help lead the Alliance's forces in Northrend against the Lich King in WOTLK, and the Cataclysm and increasing Forsaken threat looming on the horizon would have made things even more complicated in Cataclysm, though with still significant progress in the restoration of the kingdom thanks to loans and support from Ironforge, Dalaran (thanks to Khadgar), and the Wildhammer Dwarves.

The Battle for Stromgarde against the Horde would have happened by the end of Cataclysm or during MoP time, with Stromgarde army, the Sons of Lothar, armies from the three Dwarven clans, and Gnomes from a recently fully retaken Gnomeregan taking on and defeating the Horde forces composed mainly of the Forsaken, Blood Elves, Forest Trolls, and Ogres led by Sylvanas.

What are some ideas and scenarios of character growth, either in personality or power/techniques, or both at the same time, which could happen or have happened to some of the Z-Fighters/Dragon Team, outside of the Saiyan duo of Goku and Vegeta, and/or Piccolo, such as for Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and others who have been pushed increasingly to the sidelines as Z went on and as the Saiyans monopolized the focus?

What would have been the best paths of storytelling for them, to allow them to have a bigger role, and/or to shine a bit more, even if they were obviously never going to match Goku and Vegeta?

You can include Gohan, Trunks, and Goten, and even Uub, Fat Buu (after he turned good) if you want.

What are the best introductions of a character or several characters in RWBY, the ones that do the best job at presenting the character, as well as introducing the main personality traits and subtle nuances about the character's morality, goals or hypocrisies?

What are your headcanons, theories, speculations and any fun idea about Hapes Consortium, a long isolationist regional power which appeared first in the famous or infamous Courtship of Princess Leia novel, with them playing a big role as ally of the New Republic and then Galactic Alliance during the events of The New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force novels?

What are your ideas and theories on Hapans and their biology, their culture, differences between the various planets inside the Consortium, their technology and military, relations with the outside galaxy, and what they did or thought of various events happening in the galaxy before they broke out of their isolation, and also their interactions with Dathomir (since the planet officially joined the Consortium at the end of Courtship when Prince Isolder married Dathomir witch Teneniel Djo)?

Seriously how do you think that Chopper should have been and used in One Piece after the timeskip?

What defining moments and character development, progression in his dream to become a doctor capable of curing all diseases and in his progress as a doctor and person should have happened with him since his reunion with the other Straw Hats, and over the successive arcs in the New World?

I will always say that Chopper seeing Big Mom's unique food illness and him not trying to find a cure or treatment to her, with him being conflicted due to her being an enemy and mortal threat to his crew, but being unable of leaving someone sick and not try to do something about it, and him finding said cure and treatment and it playing a crucial step in the conclusion to Big Mom's story, was perhaps the greatest missed opportunity for Chopper in all of the manga history.

It would have not only have allowed him to shine as a doctor, but also would have shown just how strong his doctor mentality and duty are, and been a huge step in his progression toward his dream.

What do you think will be the interactions and dynamics between Yor and Donovan Desmond when the two meet at some point in the future? What will Yor think of Donovan? And what will Donovan think of this quirky and airhead woman who has befriended his wife, and what will be his reaction when he read Yor's mind (if he's really the mind reader he's very strongly implied to be)?

I am sure that Donovan has at least already started to suspect Loid of being a spy, but his interest in him and the informations he will get from Loid's mind will push him to gradually allow Loid to come closer to him, even though it will be so Loid indirectly feeds him precious intel with his thoughts; but that Yor will be an entirely different scenario where her airhead and cloudy personality, as well as her being such a good mom focused on Anya's well-being will causes her to have no thoughts indicating that she's an assassin when Donovan meets her and the next times he interacts with her, with him being completely surprised by her mind at first, and ironically relaxing around her and deeming her inoffensive, with her becoming the first person he isn't wary and paranoid about, not realizing that she's an assassin until he gets the visual proof of it later.

That would provide an interesting and comical foil to Loid and Donovan's interactions.

What would be the best organised and efficient military High Command for the CIS and its navy and army? Which Confederacy military leaders and characters would be the best choices for the roles of Supreme Commander, chief of staff, quatermaster general and deputy(ies) (in charge of logistics), commander for land army, commander for the navy due to their personalities and talent and skills?

How efficient would the CIS High Command if reorganised in the way you write it, and with the characters you chose in charge and at these positions?

What are some possible small actions and decisions made by Avatar characters, not important choices or decisions, but something initially thought as unimportant or just done for fun, that could have snowballed or caused a chain reaction that would have changed the course of the series drastically if they had happened? What are the smallest actions that could have had the biggest impact?

What are your theories, ideas and headcanons you have about the various metals, ores and other materials which are capable of resisting lightsabers such as Beskar, Cortosis, Phrik and others in Star Wars universe whenever it's about their history and origins, where to find them, and the way they are mined or forged or used, their cultural importance for those who use them as well as those they are used against most famously the Jedi?

Which one is the most practical? Which one is the most expensive or cheapest? Who found the best use of them?

I like to imagine that the Morgukai were the ones who found and developped the process of purifying Cortosis which turns the metal which desactivates lightsabers but is otherwise brittle into a nearly-indestructible metal; with said method being later used by Imperial Knights for their armors and gauntlets; through millenias of forging, use and experimentations with the precious metal they use to make their weapons, armor and gauntlets with which they famously fought Jedi for centuries.

How would you make the Citadel or another prison perfect for holding the Jedi and other Force users enemies or traitors to the CIS?

Which equipement, guards and security features and countermeasures would you add to the Citadel or other prisons to prevent Jedi and others from escaping or infiltrating?

I would have the prisons and wardens equipped with sonic blasters, ray shields, lots of Droidekas, Grapple Droids, Cortosis weapons, and perhaps even add Ysalamiris or Vornskr thanks to their unique Force abilities very useful against Jedi.
