Geez, these questions always look so easy on first glance.  These are tough.

(1) what is your kryptonite. Discuss

Oh this one is easy. “It depends”. No, really, we need a bit more context. I can’t speak for everyone but given certain situations there are different thing making me weak. But for a simple answer: my daughter. And I don’t have to explain that to any parent, especially not fathers with daughters 😉

(2) name a faction from a game you dislike and why but also make a balanced argument

There are so many! But first thing that comes to mind are the SpezMarinez. (Word of warning: I stopped 40k years ago so I can only speak from the past) They are soooooo bland, dull and generic. Especially Ultras. They are the protectors of humanity but lack any human treats. They don’t love, they only hate (if they really hate and not just focus on the enemy. How can you differentiate hate and love when you only claim to feel one). Yes, it’s cheap design decision from way back when but I really can’t stand to see those walking tin cans. They could be robots for all intends and purposes and since they are mostly genetically engineered they are (more or less) biological constructs.  That being said I never really felt a dislike for any faction I just don’t care for them. I disliked multiple miniature sculpture redesigns and I could have done without Anime Gundam in 40k (Tau, I’m speaking of Tau) but I didn’t dislike them. As long as they put up a good fight I enjoy myself. Be that 40, X-Wing, Blood Bowl, Celtos or Star Wars Legion.

(3) how would you weaponise a muffin? The crazier, sci-fi / magic inspired the better. This is creative and zany

The obvious way would be to poison it or bake sharp thinks in it but that’s lazy. With magic (or biochemistry) you could create a semi-sentient muffin that attacks it’s victim at that moment when his mouths open. Jumps at him and eats his face. *muahahaha* Or (inspired by the Batman movie with Jack Nicholson) use different chemicals in each muffin that are harmless on its own but when a certain combination is digested you explode, go up in flames or just die. And let’s not forget simple mechanics. Freeze the muffin rock hard and throw it at your enemy. Or us a firearm to launch it as an projectile. And for the real nasty surprise: Beam a muffin into the head of someone. *That* will make the autopsy a surprise party! XD

Ok, I hear the guys with the white jackets knocking… later! *muahahaha*
