Yuillegan:
My apologies Dina, my response came out harsher than I intended. Having seen how people tore apart the last few trailers, not to mention how critical people can be generally about this stuff (especially on the internet) I was a bit defensive. I know some people who worked on those other trailers and the way people reacted to people just trying to provide some entertainment and fan service was very toxic, and we were just so shocked after trying to do something nice for everyone. Just so you and everyone else knows, quite a lot of people involved do read these forums (even if they don't post or even have accounts. It pays to think about how your reaction might affect others. You are always more than welcome to say what you like, but there can be consequences too. Free speech cuts both ways, I'm afraid.  We all run the risk of offending people with any actions we take and whatever things we say. Best thing we can do is try and be respectful and kind, and I compromised my own principles then being harsher than was necessary. I am sorry for that, I hope you have a good day.

Snark Knight - I think the Winter Mantle is more like the Dark Side of the Force. It doesn't so much protect defensively, I suspect it follows the "best defense is a good offense" idea. Kill before you get over powered. Creatures like phages might be biting off more than they can chew trying to eat Winter.

Bad Alias - my bad, so it is. Why Evanna says he is getting justice is strange...who would she care about apart from another Svartalf? Gard maybe (being related in mythological circles)? Although why he would kill Gard is a mystery to me...forget Marcone you have to deal with Vadderung!

Dina:
Ok, my point was that you accused me of being rude when I did not say anything but the way I personally reacted to the trailer, I did not mentioned anything at all about the trailer itself, precisely because I did not want to hurt anyone. I only said what I feel. And of course I did not offend anyone specifically, while you attacked me personally. But it's all right, I understand three things, a) you took it personally because you want to protect the people you know, which is great. b) you were a la defensive because of your previous experience (I personally don't think I said anything about the previous trailer, so I get it is not against me) and c) we are all sensitive right now, with all what is happening. So it's all right. I am sorry our first (as far as I recall) interaction in so many years was that bad. And I did not want to offend anyone.

Thanks. I heard Jim and Priscilla say it, but I had no idea how to spell it.

I think maybe Thomas did something regarding the talks that fall under Marcone's aegis. Maybe as host. Thomas almost certainly had reasons, was framed (but that seems duplicative of Turn Coat), mind controlled (see last parenthetical), or something.

One of the things that Jim said is that good stories come from bad decisions. I think that was in the interview linked to over in the "Battle Ground???" thread.

It might've been the live stream. Anyway, I think it's important to keep in mind that flawed characters generally make for better stories.

I've previously wondered if White Court mojo might be able to wreak havoc with Winter Knight hungers.  We know that Harry can take a full-on hit of Hungry Lara, and turn that to fuel his own magic, but maybe WK's extra out-of-control "hungers" would weaken Harry's self-control...?

Then I realized...

I now expect that the WK would simply do the sex/violence conversion (that Harry has had to deal with several times).  They're the same, for the WK.  A whamp would never see it coming, never realize when their amorous victim decided to kill them, instead...
