Same thing is happening for me. Haven't been on Codewars for a few months but came back and recently changed my username and added FB/Twitter integration. Now can't submit anything because it just gives me the http/https error in the console.

I've made some changes to this kata:

• the list of names and mottos is now included so you don't have to Google for it
• no more confusion around whether or not case is relevant

This is intentional and not something I have a problem with. I don't think CodeWars katas need to use only knowledge presented in the challenge; see jacobb's comment about arabic numerals. I think Googling for something enriches the challenges, provides context, and teaches something highly relevant to coding: Googling is part of solving the problem.

I might mention that I was specifically looking to help my friend learn about arrays (she requested a kata on specifically that topic), hence the direction to use an array.

You can still implement the method however you want, as long as motto(str) returns the correct string.

I updated the description with some more details. Did it help?

I wrote this kata for a friend who is learning Javascript. A lot of katas focus on abstract problem solving and I wanted to give her a kata that was about something she's interested in.

Silly mistake, forgetting House Stark. Fixed, thanks.

I disagree, I think a coding challenge that involves facts that you're personally interested in are more fun and easier to remember than abstract challenges of which there are many on this site. I think this has a place. If you're not interested in GoT or don't want to look up the facts, then you don't have to do the challenge. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I implemented both of them.
