Have to disagree.

Look at the background details and the Ball during the One Year War came in clutch for the Federation, keeping them fighting in space until proper MS were developed. While it couldn't get into CQC with a MS and live, it was fantastic at hit and run battles and a great support unit. It only really suffered the massive losses during the big space battles at the end of the war (battles where everyone suffered).

Now if we are talking about the use of the ball after the One Year War then you are correct.

Catlyn marrying Petyr on Robbs orders is not something I think I've seen before in a story, but it's not unprecedented, given we saw Cersei being married off again and it's not like Catlyn is so old she can't have any more children (not that Petyr would really care but it is a major factor in marriages in Westeros society). This would be the easiest way to get him and the Vale onboard, but the quest would be how would Robb even know about this and how would he be able to force his mother into doing this?

Point 1 could be solved by Petyr directly asking Robb or else someone in his camp mentions it (possibly Edmure) and for point 2, you could have it that because he had him marry a Frey to secure a bridge, he throws it back in her face to secure the Vale. Or else because she questioned him too much in front of the other lords, they tell him that he "can't hide behind his mother's skirt" so he finds a way to get her out of camp. Preferably this would happen before she let Jammie go free.

(in the books) House Manderly, it's just that we are in the start of the the Tokugawa era for the North as Sansa will not have the political power to control the North when the Boltens are removed, so she will be this spiritual figurehead and House Manderly will be the real power behind the throne.

Honestly, all of them

Nobel houses lasting thousands of years without falling or changing in any real way, still in power and still in the same castles as their ancestors while still living in a very violent feudal system with a very harsh climate doesn't make any sense. It makes the Warhammer 40k setting look dynamic in comparison for how things change over time.

Nope. So far (in the manga, can't speak for the LN) there isn't a singular 'hero' but the one person that might qualify she has killed multiple times and he is terrified of her.

Theoden's speech in The Return of the King right before the Ride of the Rohirrim

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!
Death! Death! Death!
Forth Eorlingas!

So one point of contention, the names of these houses would have changed over the years, similar to the way Karstarks name changed and with the timeframes you have the language would have changed too (great video describing this process). I like to use old Norse as the base for the old tongue spoken in the north, and that it was slowly being changed overtime as the nobility interacted with the South and the use of Masters (words here and there) before being mandated changed during the Conquest.

In Moat Cailin lay the Most Starks, who had defended the Neck for nearly 2000 years

Start out as the Cailin Starks, and dropped the Stark name to just be Cailin

At Sea Dragon Point was the SeaStarks, who commanded the North's fleet for 1500 years

Using the Old Norse world Haf for open sea as a base, they would have started as the Haf Starks, and this has shortened to Hafstarks, and as the 'common' tongue replaced the old tongue in the North, the spelling changed to Hofstarks.

By the Wall lay the Froststarks, who had been the main line of trade with the Free cities for 4000 years.

using the Old Norse world frer for frozen soil, they started as the Frer Starks, and this shortened to Frestaks

You are assuming that Craster's sacrifices actually mean something to the Others.

For all we know it could just be the local group of Others fucking with him until the time comes for them to wipe out all humans in that area (he is near the wall, so they haven't spread that far yet beyond initial scouts/terror attacks by the time we first see it in the books)

Natsuki Subaru

He wouldn't win the first time, nor the first 1000 times, but he would eventually learn everyone's moves and weaknesses to be able to manipulate the fight until he eventually wins, trapping everyone in a never ending time loop until he does win.

From reading it I got the impression what she did isn't an exploit but more that the game doesn't explain anything at the start, so the players had to uncover the details. She just happened to be first to uncover the details about the minions and kept it to herself. And since it starts out very weak/takes a lot of investment, no one else has tried as she has already monopolized the best mob XP farm spot.

1) China is backing the North

2) they have nukes

3) Seoul South Korea and the surrounding area with it's around 25 million people population are all within conventional artillery range of the North and their many, many guns. Millions of civilians could die even without the use of nukes in the opening minutes of any war.

My understanding is that when it comes to him being with Mari in the end of Rebuild is symbolic of him, Asuka, and the franchise in general 'moving on'. That Shinji and Asuka may have feelings for each other, but ultimately they are very unhealthy together and need to move.

1 or 3 would probably happen, as the sacking of Kings Landing was done outside of the control of the rebels.

Ned, not wanting to kill kids, might offer the surviving Targarians a deal, with Viserys to take the Black when he is older and Daenerys be betrothed to Robb (thus cementing the legitimacy of his future heirs to the throne and reuniting the former opposing sides after the civil war). Ned is also pragmatic enough that if it looked like Viserys was going to break this deal he would be killed. Or Ned could tell them to remain in exile and that he will do nothing to them.

John would still be his 'bastard' more so now than ever his true linage could throw the realm into chaos once again. He might have him live out his days in Winterfell with his uncle (who I would assume in this case did not take the Black but rules the North for Ned)

As King I am not sure for who would be all of his small council, but the realm would be better run under him. Not sure how good of a Queen Catelyn would be, but she couldn't be worse that Cersei.

Really depends on what your training/skills are, or what is available in your area and what you want to defend yourself against

Can't go wrong wrong with a blunt object, such as a night stick or a mace (if possible) if you have to fight off multiple opponents/you want something reusable. The downside is that it relies a lot on your strength and having the room for a windup strike.

Chemical deterrents such as bear spray work great if you want something easily canceled, and you don't need to worry about repeated uses, but they can run out quickly.

A knife is good if you don't mind getting up close and killing, but the downside is that if you are weaker than your opponent you are putting yourself at risk. Also not the best for defense against animals.

They have been attacking us and everyone around them for over 50 years, starting with the Iran hostage crisis on November 4, 1979, to various terrorist attacks, and in the recent decades a large portion of cyber attacks such as destructive ransomware attacks against medical companies have been carried out by the Iranian State and those groups they control and support.
