Unsolved Mysteries Version 2.0
The new, shiny list of mysteries! The format is shamelessly ripped from Serack’s WOJ sticky, so I won’t go into detail on how to browse. And if you haven’t already acquainted yourself with said WOJ thread, drop everything, go there immediately, and don’t come back until you’ve read through the entire thing.
Note I: The replies are much more in-depth than the original post, and may be a bit redundant.
Note II: One asterisk next to a question means that either there is enough information for a pretty solid guess towards the answer, or that the question is likely to be addressed in a short story (and is thus probably nonvital to the main plot)
Note III: I'm too tired to go through and catch mistakes at this point, so if a question looks like it should be added/moved/deleted/shifted in or of the major mysteries, let me know!
