New WOJ's
raidem:
What was the exact wording of the WOJ on the Prisoner on Demonreach not being Merlin. Was Merlin excluded per Jim merely on the basis of him not being able to communicate in understandable English. And should we believe Jim when, if he says it isn't Merlin.

I think it's all a smoke screen made up in the last year or so to keep us off the truth. He's slipped up and mentioned quite a few things and implied hella others in his Wojing over the years... I think he's trying to cover his ass from every direction is all.

Did you guys note that Jim said Nicodemus is more dangerous to the Universe, in some ways, than Lucifer.
The two bits of misinformation was in reference to the arguments referred to by the Fan after a convention or Q&A that Jim attributed to them having misheard, misunderstood things. Jim said he then sprinkled misinformation to add to the confusion surrounding it. I believe Jim added this misinformation either in Q&A's or in the books to keep people guessing with respect to the heated debate.
Only 1/4 of the non-sourced WOJ's that is spread right after conventions, Q&A's. I mean, I seriously doubt he is considering the transcribed material from videos as potentially in error. I think the 1/4 error is more associated with I heard this, then I paraphrased it and passed it along.
This is the Fan incorrectly interpreting what Jim just said. And the Fan doesn't really know what goes into sourcing the WOJ website. It isn't paraphrases. It is often direct transcriptions from videos, or written quotes by Jim himself.

That's a true enough statement. The more gut-punchy line for me was this bit
Fan: But...Now I don't know which 25% of the WOJ website to believe?
Jim: Wouldn't believe any of it if I were you. Cant really say that was misinterpreting the Collection vs the general rumor-mill, just seems to undercut the whole purpose and value of it :-\
Its been a remarkably bad couple weeks for me already, which is likely coloring my response. By next week Ill care a whole lot less (one way or the other)
raidem:
I think that was an Extremely Wild Exaggeration on Jim's Part. If we are to take Jim's word that he lies, then I'd take him at his word and assume he is lying about "wouldn't believe any of it."
I mean he spends so much time going to these Q&A's, which for the most part are transcribed by folks here. I mean if he simply spins all of it as falsehood, there is basically no point to him going to the Q&A's. In any event, he gets asked the same thing at so many of the Q&A's and the answers have largely been consistent so I think he mainly tells the truth with these consistent answers.

--- Quote ---I don't want Mac to be god because I don't want Dresden to be able to say "my beetle was in the shop one time so I borrowed GOD's Trans-AM"
--- End quote ---
You know, I think this will come back with more meaning once we find out what/who Mac is. My early theories for Mac was that he was either Odin, Mimir, or possibly Merlin. Anyways, I think when Harry borrowed Mac's car he was tapping into a vehicle that a bit more than met the eye. It lasted just long enough to get Harry to Victor Sells home. Mac's car bypassed traffic and the scenery passed by much like is what is described in traveling within the Amberverse. It was like the path from Mac's bar to Victor Sells home was parted just so that Harry could make it there in time. I also noted that Mac gave Harry a hand, a Handshake and said Luck. It is reminiscent of other characters giving Harry a hand, including Uriel and Hades.
The Amber in me wants to make a similarity between Mac and the Amberites ability to shape probabilities with their powers. So, in Amber Corwin saying Luck to Harry would in essence skew probabilities in favor of his success at something. If Mac is God then say he could ensure the car made it to Victor Sells but he couldn't interfere past that when it came to choices Harry would make in the encounter vs Victor.
