Can't find a WOJ?

(1/2) > >>

Con:
The one where Jim says Marcone picked up Namshiels coin before they left the island?

I think there was something about wagner or valkyries still playing?

Con:
HAHA! Found it!

Dragoncon 2022

"When did Marcone take up the coin? Ride of the Valkyries was still playing, before the chopper was back to the city."

Conspiracy Theorist:
This suggests he had the coin during the hiring of Nameless and the events of Even Hand, suggesting Nameless doesn’t know and that despite everything in Even Hand Marcone wouldn’t reveal Namshiel. He will only put out for a Titan.

There is a nameless reference to Nameless in Even Hand, Marcone refers to the letters his lawyer sends him and it is on the subject of the Accords, so not a normal lawyer. This is the only reference to Nameless prior to The Law. I would point out that Even Hand was published in Dark and Stormy Knights (indicating Marcone was a knight of the Blackened Denarius, there are no other Knights in the story at this point so sneaky of Jim, it only fits the anthology after Battle Ground more than a decade later, why didn’t any of us pick it up?) the publication date was 20 June 2010. Turn Coat was published 7 April 2009 the year before, so Jim had decided almost immediately after writing Turn Coat that Marcone had picked up the coin in writing Even Hand for the anthology.

I don't remember the Nameless nameless reference in Even Hand, but even people who see the WOJ argue that it was just Namshiels Shadow like Lash was up until Even Hand and he only accepted him after the events of it.

But the other thing I take away from it is that the Denarians succeeded in one of their goals of Small Favor. They recruited Marcone. Took a couple of years to realise the goal but they're used to playing the long game and it may as well be a couple of months investment for them.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Marcone refers to letters from his lawyer he needs to read and these letters are  the spooky side of things not the crime Lord or property developer.

The law tells us Nameless was working for Marcone at this point, and is Marcone’s top guy. Ergo he is referencing Nameless.
