Sorry but I win... Euron Greyjoy, King-Beyond-The-Wall. AFFC start.
As a one-province count of Lonely Light, that tiny single holding island on the far western end of a map, I became Iron King within 17 years of the game. I was messing around in the Basilisk Islands, nabbing 4 of them (got a Duchy title, yay) and reaving a bit in the rest - and suddenly have a random Emperor-tier title have no idea how this happened. I haven't even been even under the Iron Isles for a few years, I was under the Trident (Harren's son quickly lost them to the Greyjoys after Harren himself kicked the bucket, but still holds onto the Trident title long after the resident Independence faction has fired and reduced him to a few counties).
I don't even want that title, there's no way I can possibly hold onto a Kingdom with my one local holding and those remote wrong culture, wrong religion ones with new administration penalties.
I find it funny how it says "as the true Ironborn did in the past" while I'm playing the earliest start date and Aegon has been sitting idly on Dragonstone all the time though.
How does the kingsmoot work in the game?
Andrik the Unsmiling has a disturbing knack for winning Kingsmoots in my games. Nothing like playing as Balon, dying in battle, and watching the surviving Greyjoys all lose out to a nobody.
Andrik the Unsmiling is the best ironborn warrior, hardly a nobody.
Sure, as an individual fighter. Not as a ruler from a great house.
SPOILERS
He never put his name forward at the Kingsmoot in the books, and doesn't seem to have been even considered to be in contention. The Ironborn, like everyone else, seem to have at least some level of "you must be this noble of bloodline to enter." Volmark is endorsed solely because of his descent from Harren the Black; Asha is able to do as well as she does because she is Balon's only (known) surviving kid. The ones we do see making claims are all characters who are in-game are all either landed nobles or members of the royal house.
I'm pretty sure it's just an elective monarchy with some special events making it look better.
Weirdest moment though has got to be when I was playing Targs and my 0 year old granddaughter tamed a wild dragon. I didn't even think to take a screenshot because it was just too weird.
Who sits on the Iron Throne if I might ask?
For a while, one of my relatives (a Sundragon), but I replaced him and put the Sundrakes on the throne (a little modding in there for cadet dynasties).
Has the OP read the last book? Because nothing in that picture is at all unlikely. Victarion goes to Dany for exactly that reason. And he is converted to Rhllor by Moqorro and makes sacrifices to both Rhllor and the Drowned God. I'm actually hoping that Dany will end up accepting his proposal in TWoW, plus he has the dragon horn that was found in the ruins of old Valyria which is said to tame dragons.
But I seriously love that it appears your "biggest WTF" moment you've seen is actually just a massive spoiler (and is actually quite possible) and not some freaky out-of-this-world occurance.

It's oddly sad to see Dany all old and wrinkled. Almost as bad as seeing Rhaegar aged.
Speaking of Dragon Popes, in my current Targ game my eldest son and heir (complete with dragon) just asked me if he could go off and become a septon. Being the nice father that I am I said yes.
I'll watch his progress through the faith with interest. Hopefully prestige alone will help him become HS.

I don't have a screenshot, but at Robert Rebellion's scenario:
Tywin Lannister,Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Hand of the King...Eddard Stark, King of the North. Not only did the North declare independence then side with Robert, the Lannisters! sided with him.

best MP game ever, as HL in the north.

I don't know how WTF this is, but marrying Dany to Joffrey. (Start from 8291, when they are both kids. Dany is in Braavos. Or any time before she gets married off to Drogo.) Also, Joffrey turning out not crazy or stupid, but... queer.

I got a story to tell today. one of a Qarthean Doge with more children than he know what to do with. But that's not the wtf moment. the wtf moment is when I open up the info panel and realized that only 2 of all those children are his. his wife had been carrying on an affair for 22 years and no one has noticed.
currently the Doge, Wife and her lover are all dead which means that all those kids don't know they are bastards.

I've got a new odd one. King Drogon of Yunkai. Apparently someone thought it was an awesome idea to install a dragon as king in a claimant war.
