After some 40 year struggle for Egypt, the crusade ends.

Every Christian lord: "So Gottfried, hail thee Crusader King... When will I receive my 4% participation bonus from the Papal Money Pool? Eh, I'll even accept 3%, alright? 2%... Eh."

Gottfried:

There was a Civil War in China, it spawned an adventurer, he invaded west and established his own Chinese empire with hookers and booze.

China will stop by to smash them in a while, so don't expect it to last long.
 
Trying to seduce a courtier for more children by asking one of her friends for a way in... I suppose it is only fair as my wife is a known adulterer too.

The pope tells me to do an excommunication war to get crowned, then he joins up against me. Worst bug I have ever encountered.

"In order for me to crown you as the rightful king, you have to... defeat me in battle! Ahahahaha!"

Starting as Sölvi Forsa, Countess of Jamtaland in 936, I've had a hilarious run so far- including going back and forth to "Gluttonous" no less than 4 times with the kids and two times eating well.

Besides conquering northern Scandinavia, the lucky pick of husband who inherited Sweden from his nephew did the trick. She then helped him out in his wars, subjugating Norway, fending off the invading poles and because the old man had such a strong woman behind him, he prepared an invasion at age 72.

Pointing out again, she really did do his work in the wars, not just supplying levies, also leading the armies personally, and not just that.
Gotta love getting slain by a gluttunous Stewardess

So now I made their father a mighty King and all the little brats do is complain.

Thankfully, other children have more potential and at age 41 the Queen gave birth to this.
Did sacrifice, prayed for a smart child, and had her sired by a strong lover in secret for ultimate win.
And of course she does have her legal father's Ragnar-Bloodline :D

And as a law upholding legal viking raider, she did all that half naked

I don't understand what you mean. After all, when you start the game, unreformable helenism also has as supreme god Jupiter.
When you reform the Hellenic faith, there is a bug that "glue" together all the gods name, so whenever you have an event or a nickname referring to a god, you get "JupiterNeptunePlutoJunoCeresMinervaMarsVucanVenusApolloDianaVesta". In the case above, the character is nicknamed "The Sword of JupiterNeptunePlutoJunoCeresMinervaMarsVucanVenusApolloDianaVesta"

So desperate to excommunicate someone...anyone...that he excommunicated himself. Or...

He was playing his usual game of pin the Excommunication on the Donkey (Ruler), and bounced the pin off the wall so he hit himself instead.

Either way, it shows how truly borked the Papal AI is in CK2. Hopefully, it will be better in CK3...

This nickname is probably not bug.

It is probably a mistake that if you renew, e.g. the Roman Empire and get the nickname "Glorious", the first holy war will replace it with a random "the Sword of xxx".
On the other hand, in this way you can get rid of the nickname "Apostate".

Okay, to be precise, the nickname itself is not a bug, it's the string replacing [god] that is bugged.
 
What I am making fun of is exactly what Ursul has already pointed out. The God names shouldn't be all smashed together since it clearly ruins any moment in which the gods are referenced, such as through events or nicknames. Unless you think that being called "The Sword of JupiterNeptunePlutoJunoCeresMinervaMarsVucanVenusApolloDianaVesta" is at all reasonable. I assumed it was fairly obvious.
