--- Quote from: Snark Knight on April 22, 2018, 03:04:53 PM ---If Harry had gone with the Darkhallow, it wouldn't have been about sacrificing thousands to wipe out the Reds and save hundreds of thousands more from becoming their victims. Several Halloweens have gone by from Dead Beat to Changes to make that kind of a calculated choice if he was going to. Reaching there for power in Changes would have been killing thousands because his daughter matters more to him than all the other victims he would have had to kill to save that one life.

I think that there's a huge difference between "sitting back, roasting marshmallows and watching the world burn"; and feeding thousands to the fire yourself to kickstart the conflagration.
Even for His daughter, and based on what we've known of Harry, I can't see him making a decision to go that route.

I can. Lucky for him and us, he had other options. I believe that the evil scale is: Winter Knight<DarkHallow<Coin. And Harry's preference: Winter Knight>Coin>DarkHallow.

I'm 99.99% sure that lacking other options, he would've killed thousands of innocents to save his daughter. After all, he did wipe out an entire species of innocents (relatively speaking) and Susan as an added bonus.

Come on, that's not the same as a DarkHallow. There is a difference in killing people for power, and casualties if war. His targets were the evil Red Court vampires, the innocents that died as a result weren't targets, but other victims of the Red's who'd been infected without permission.

Actually at some point every single Ramp made the choice to kill to become what they were, so even the most diet conscious Ramp isn't 'innocent'. The very turn of phrase for them is laughable.(thats almost verbatim what Woj said on the matter)

I think the innocence being talked about were the people infected, but not turned who died. Only the younger once's survived I believe.
