Serack's unsubstantiated WAGS (recording them here, indexing isn't exactly necessary)The replacement home Harry is going to make for Bob will either end up being Lash's residence, or will be Lash's beta residence. (12/30/12)

The original index might end up being necessary to keep an index of raw references that aren't so much involved with theorizing
The NN, which exists in multiple dimensions, contains vast numbers of alternate worlds specualtive, will have to be re written as original post is long gone
Good one!
There is a WoJ (Mirror Mirror) + Odin's talk in CD, so I think the rank should be higher.
id call it specualtive because when i posted it two years ago it caused a minor flame war. over the power ratigns i gave the death star vs the doomsday machine of all things.. lol

I'm not sure how you want this sourcing to happen, so I think this is information you could add to your list, but I'm not entirely sure...
Here are the threads for the ideas you are referencing, with dates and my summary of what the theory was as it relates to the topics you listed. I'm not sure whether the theory should be under "Outsiders", "Harry" or the "Parasite", so I'll leave that up to you.

BAMF!
karrin hit rock bottom on the scale of sword welder to punisher. she was wicked like. of course you have to fall to pick yourself up. i feel karrin appeared in harry's sight as a fallen angel because every little girl is daddy's angel. his 'suicide' began her decent but she clung to her job and the redemption it offered before. without it she dropped like a stone. i think her bizarre behavior in CD is simply a rekindling of faith that will resolve when she finds out what really happened. this may involve mort as he said they speak. also notice her dad works for uriel, this implies his death was particularly unbalanced somehow. (woj practically confirms it was just assumed a suicide)
this is one theory i know is originated with me. others were paralleled in like minded geniuses 8)
The parasite = Lash and whispering shadow = Lasciel theories should be mentioned, but sourcing will be a bit of a pain due to the multiplicity of threads discussing them in the months after GS was released.
some of those are hard to define as 'your theories'
I'm still new here, so if any of them don't qualify I'll let the experts judge. It's fine with me. Just thought I'd try to contribute any way I could.

There is a connection between whoever gave out the Hexenwulf belts in Fool Moon, the Love Hurt seat belts, and the Entropy curse in Blood Rites.

I feel like I am nitpicking you to death (like being nibbled to death by ducks, no offense to Ms. Duck). Do you want input like this or is it driving you crazy?
I rember three - Harry not being fully human- but my ideas on it have been pretty fully discredited by now ( Jim said Oberon is dead, and my idea that Lea was Maggie sr 's mom is also toast)Harry not being fully human would have to either be from the paternal side, or something that Maggie LeFay had as well, and probablly Eb McCoy too, though likely they would have been unaware of their nonhuman side.
anyone who wants to rebuild it after I got totaly flattened/trashed/ proved wrong is more than welcome to try :D

This is why I think that many of these indexed theories shouldn't be cited to a "single" theorizer.
It's a very difficult problem. Scientists spent hundreds of years trying to solve it, so we are not going to find a perfect solution anyway.
The problem is that many theories fit the same lifecycle: they start as a single sentence in a thread, then there are many discussion threads of increasingly high quality, then comes a discussion which is so good that all the info on the subject is gathered, then comes a reference thread which wrap-up everything in a single post. For the Blackstaff, the entire cycle took less than three weeks. Who should we credit?
I credited no one, as you can see, for the most basic assumption (Blackstaff is MW's walking stick), but I gave credit for derivative theories (MW is Death, Blackstaff=raven Banner). That's a very subjective process, any idea on how to improve it is welcome.

My ego isn't so great that I would need to have my name attached to a theory.
Oh, lemebeclear, I think you are doing a great job, I just wanted to point all that out for the sake of all the citation suggestions that have been coming out.
This is a huge project that you are taking on, and the index framework that you have hashed out works really well (some committee input did take place, but you are the executor, and get to take ownership of the awesomeness of the results :) )
Hey Serack-having read your comment about the citation suggesion, of which ive made a couple :), I was wondering if you and/or Elegast could provide some direction on what would be helpful suggestions for us forum-ites to make? I remember that for the Reference Collection thread nominations, there were some critieria you all used to decide which theories/threads would count? Could you outline some criteria you would like us to use here? That might help keep our suggestions to the most useful ones.
A theory is expected to come as a one sentence proposition (it can be right or wrong).
BAD:
Why has Harry build LC? (That's not a statement, it can't be right or wrong)
GOOD:
A. A. Summers is Aurora's daughter (Slate as the father?)
BETTER: add a link to the theory
A. A. Summers is Aurora's daughter (Slate as the father?) (source (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35615.msg1691994.html#msg1691994))
BEST: add a link to the profile of the owner of the theory
A. A. Summers is Aurora's daughter (Slate as the father?) (source (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35615.msg1691994.html#msg1691994))-GrandPanjandrum (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=2496)
I remember that for the Reference Collection thread nominations, there were some critieria you all used to decide which theories/threads would count?
First is a some emphasis on technical formatting of suggestions for this index:
From experience, what Elegast is doing here is a great deal of work, and the closest you can come to making a suggestion something that he can straight copy/paste into the index the better. He also has the ability to pull the code directly from your post, so posting suggestions in accordance with his original guidelines really goes a long way in making things work well for him
I guess this is WAG indexed to Merlin/Demonreach
Elegast-i had a vague plan to work on a blood rites/storm front/fool moon/love hurts connections thread. Ill do it this weekend, cause its gonna take a while to pull all the pieces together and I want to try to review all the threads which hit on it.
I have a feeling, from the brief amount of time I've had to skim through the forum, that some of my most detailed theories don't any more have a single coherent post explaining the whole thing and my reasons for believing it, so i am happy to redo a few of those for reference purposes as time permits.

"Nemesis infection can free humans from their half a bargain, while still getting the benefits."
The problem is that humans aren't constrained by their bargains the way fairies are. Do you mean they can break oaths made on their power?Yes to the latter. To the former, when I say bargains, I mean I suspect mortal infected could break them without it "counting" - ie, without the power they've bargained with being able use the breach as a reason to withdraw its favour.

harry will be the blackstaff one day.
thats slightly not fare, some theorys span multiple threads that are hard to find. others are so self evident they don't get discussed as much..
don't get lazy on us elegast... its your responsibility to cover theorys... :P
Any chance of this thread being stickied? Its function seems to deserve it.
She looks exactly the same to the Sight as she does to normal vision.
Vlad Drakul is one example
General
Maybe this is just happening to me but whenever I click the sources links they always direct me to the 1st page of the relevant thread. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the links to direct you to the page in which the theory is proposed?
If "only theories which have already been widely discussed/criticized by the community can be nominated" than why do many of the theories here not have links? Even if we can't find the original thread it was discussed in, shouldn't we at least be able to find a thread it was discussed in (presumably the one which made us decide that the theory has been widely discussed/criticized? Even if there are multiple threads discussing it and we can't find all of them, even one link is better than no links. Should we really have theories with no links here?
Black Court
I would like to request that the "there is a link between the Black Court and the outsiders" rating have a bracketed sentence next to it that says that the theory changes to Highly Speculative if Harry meant Black Council and Black Court is a typo.
Blackstaff
I checked both the links to the "Blackstaff is MW's walking stick" theory and I don't think it deserves the Very Strong Evidence rating. Jim said that the WC stole the blackstaff from someone who really wants it back. This...does not narrow things down. The only indicator that we have that MW is the one who wants it back is that Jim is a self proclamed "lazy writer". I'm not saying that the theory isn't strong, just that it doesn't deserve Very Strong Evidence status. I think that it should be changed to blue.
Blood Rites
Theory:The thing seen behind Kincaid could be a symbolic representation of Drakul.
EDIT: I think this quote from page 189 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "Mavra" entry:
Pretty much debunks the "Mavra under veil seen in Sight behind Kincaid" theory.
HW belts
Why is Raith making the HW belts rated Strong Evidence? We have seen no indication that he is a practitioner (in fact, he often recruits women to do magic for him) and Harry himself says that only about 3 people in the entire White Council could make them.
Mothers Winter/Summer
The "they are God" theory doesn't have a rating (and since the G is capitalized, shouldn't it say the White God?).
Parasite
Theory: the parasite is Nemesis (this doesn't have to contradict the Walker theory either).
Swords
Theory: Faith Astor is going to take up Fidelacchius (link: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35837.0.html) I know it doesn't have 3 pages of discussion but hey, at least I have a link.
Outsiders
The third Walker could also be called He-Who-Walks-Between.
Drakul
On page 77 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "half demons" entry, the books says:
Note that they don't say he could be one or that he's probably one. They outright say he's one. Does this downgrade the rating of the "Drakul is the scion of a dragon" theory?
No one cares about my previous post? :'(.
when jim had to switch DB and PG he intentionally created a time loop in the books, behind the scenes.was hoping you'd take another look at this one if you please? i can update my original thread or create a new one if you want more imput or are unsure what i mean precisely... its complicated, sorta. but it ties into alot of other theories... i'm gonna update my thread actually... stuff to add anyways.

Elegast i invoke thee to look at my updated theory.(i explain it better)
Yes.
Some old theories are widely known and deserve to be included, yet sometimes there is no living thread about them. But the main reason is a practical one: putting a link for each theory would demand an LOT of work. There are many theories, spread in many posts, and old threads are deleted after one year so the links would keep breaking and would require constant attention. And most of the post introducing a theory contain little more info than a one-sentence summary.
I included all the links to threads in the DFRC, as they won't disappear, and are of very high quality.
You'll notice that I include links to some threads in the DF spoilers section. I do so with threads I believe have a good chance of ending in the DFRC, or if I can directly copy-paste the link. It's basically an informal nomination thread.
It's slightly overrated. But there is already a poll about it so I prefer to respect the results.
I look into it, I don't have my copy of the DFRPG close at hand.
To my Sight, Kincaid looks enormous, malformed, silent, merciless, deadly. He has horns curling from his head, batlike wings, and a hideous double-image behind him that looks like the corpsespecter of Death himself (Drakul?). I don’t know if he’s soulgazeable, but I really don’t wanna find out. Just a glimpse with the Sight was enough for me.
Added.
Added.
No. The rating is already low, and there is a WOJ behind the theory.
Vlad Drakul (NE)—a half-demon
scion; father of Vlad Tepesh Dracula
Just read it. I was too busy having fun last week. ;D
What do you think of me creating "compilation threads" for each of the theories that don't have sources (and are either Strong evidence Very strong evidence) and aiming to get them into the DF Reference Collection? I'd like to at least try. Not having sources for those theories bugs me (I may also try ones for Speculative if the previous attempt works).
If I created a new poll and it goes the other way, would you than change it (though there's the slight issue that I don't know how to create a poll...)?
You don't trust me :'( :P.
Requesting that you also add "(the walker could also be Nemesis)" beside it.
You forgot to add my name to it (how do you do that anyways?)
[sup][url=http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=40787]Cenphx[/url][/sup]
Which one?
Also, could you add the "Drakul is the scion of a demon"? (
I'm wondering how to add sources for theories that only have a slice of text from the RPG to support them. I could use the method I proposed at the top of this post but creating a thread for such a small piece of evidence seems wastefull...getting threads like them into the DF Reference Collection would just clutter it up. Maybe we could make one thread for all the theories that only have small amounts of evidence (this could also work for Speculative and Highly Speculative theories)?

Fairies and languageQuote from: Changessomeone whispering to me, something in a tongue I didnt understand-but I knew my queen's voiceQuote from: Summer KnightMaeve drew herself up, her face shining with a sudden terrible beauty. She lifted her right hand, ring finger and thumb both bent, and murmured something in a liquid, alien tongue.QuoteMy godmother spoke something, a string of liquid syllables in a tongue I could not understand-but it made my knees turn rubbery and my fingers suddenly feel weak.
About speaking Russian:Quote from: Changes"Harry", he[Toot-toot] said, as if the question made no sense at all, "you just speak it"Quote from: WikipediaThe word fairy derives from Middle English faierie (also fayerye, feirie, fairie), a direct borrowing from Old French faerie (Modern French féerie) meaning the land, realm, or characteristic activity (i.e. enchantment) of the legendary people of folklore and romance called (in Old French) faie or fee (Modern French fée). This derived ultimately from Late Latin fata (one of the personified Fates, hence a guardian or tutelary spirit, hence a spirit in general); cf. Italian fata, Portuguese fada, Spanish hada of the same origin.From:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy#Etymology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy#Etymology)
Fata, although it became a feminine noun in the Romance languages, was originally the neuter plural ("the Fates") of fatum, past participle of the verb fari to speak, hence "thing spoken, decision, decree" or "prophetic declaration, prediction", hence "destiny, fate". It was used as the equivalent of the Greek Μοῖραι Moirai, the personified Fates who determined the course and ending of human life.

Latin fata comes from the Indo-European root *bhã- "speak".

MAVRA
Mavra first appeared in the casefiles during the events of the Grave Peril case, working with Bianca St. Claire and Leonid Kravos to stir up trouble for both Harry Dresden and Michael Carpenter. And, as an old and powerful Black Court vampire, she can stir up a lot of trouble. She hates Michael for destroying her “children” and “grandchildren” over 20 years ago, so she planned to use the blood of an innocent (Lydia) to unmake his Sword Amoracchius. Thwarted in this, she disappeared for a time. She popped up again in the Blood Rites case, creating Renfields (page 84) in a homeless shelter. She was taken down by the efforts of Harry, Kincaid, Karrin Murphy, and Ebenezar McCoy. During the events of the Dead Beat case, she showed up again, forcing Harry to find The Word of Kemmler for her, under threat of sending blackmail photos of Murphy—taken while Murphy was working on the Blood Rites case—to the authorities. When Harry provided the book, he threatened her, and she initially laughed it off—until Harry outlined the lengths he’d go to just to get her, if she persisted. In addition to the vast Black Court vampire powers she has, Mavra seems to be skilled in magic. She is ridiculously adept at using Veils and is responsible for the “barbed wire” spells that afflicted Agatha Hagglethorn and Micky Malone. Furthermore, her command of mind magic is extensive.Mavra slender and pallid, with blue lips and hair like dried straw and bread mold. She looks exactly the same to the Sight as she does to normal vision.
We could. It would be cool to make one post per theory. I had the same idea, and already have made such a post as an experiment:

Does that help?
Also, when you say that the WoJ doesn't exist, do you mean that it's like the "black court/council typo" WoJ?
Oooh that works pretty nicely (could use a little cleaning up though). One possible roadblock is that we'd have to reserve a TON of posts considering how many theories like that there are and how many could come in the future. Perhaps some theories could be in the same post as other's?

We already know Harry was born under a conjonction, it's a WOJ.sorry, thought it would be easier to understand that way, heres more discussion (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,37078.msg1802790.html#msg1802790) on it. basically harry is 'halfout' of reality and this is why his magic and physical assaults can hurt outsiders, also interacting mentally to shrug them off.
Completely out there WAG I just thought of. I checked this on a pregnancy calculator. If Maggie was going to have a Child born on Halloween, she would have had to conceive the child sometime around the first week of February. Thomas was born the second week of February. What if LR got Maggie pregnant in the first week of February in order for her to give birth to a Star Child, but instead Maggie, with Lea's help, slipped into the NeverNever. Using Fae magic and NN Time Compression, she may have turned a Nine Month Pregnancy into a 2 week pregnancy, depriving LR of his Starborn child.
WAG Swings (Simple and not much support, but hey, one might knock it out of the park come BAT time)
Demonreach
demonreach's limp was cause by the physical representation of a glacier, possibly its genus loci. not a literal, "a glacier hit DR on the leg and hurt him" incident.
Harry
Harry will become the Blackstaff
When Molly removed Harry's memories in Changes, she inadvertently changed him, due her love for him.
Harry's conception
1. Lord Raith planned on having a second child with Margaret, one born to have power over Outsiders.
2. Lord Raith planned on using a young Thomas as a sacrifice in a type of Accession ritual that would have made the child even more powerful.
3. Lord Raith knew Margaret was pregnant and aimed his Entropy Curse, not at her but at the baby so he could get her back.
4. Margaret found out about Lard Raith's Curse, that it would hit at Midnight of October 31st.
5. Margaret induced labor early using magic.
6. Margaret deflected the Curse from the baby to herself.
7. With Margret's death, LR gave up on the idea of using Thomas as a sacrifice, until BR.
8. Lord Raith believed both the child and the mother had died.
9. Cowl was one of Maggie's circle, traveling with her into the NeverNever.
10. While a 'Good' man produces a Starborn to oppose the Outsiders, a 'Bad' man can father a Starborn who would be a leader of the Outsiders, a link between worlds who would help them.

added these 2 to the mini theories section:
Uriel
Had a cameo way back in Fool Moon (Source) (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,40988.0.html) -Serack (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=23736)
Yggdrasil
Is the roots seen all the way down at the bottom of "the well" (Demonreach)
It looks as though the post that held the theories for Yggdrasil being associated with Yggdrasil have been lost, except for Elegast making an archive of one that isn't in the DFRC yet.
Where do you think this theory should go Elegast?

I'd title it:
The Summer and Winter mantles are related to Nidhogg and the Eagle on Yggdrasil
I'll take the easy way out: let's wait for Skin Game and the new info on the mother's mantle, then we'll add the theory during the revamp of the index.
Did we ever find out the name of Deirdre's Fallen? Her angel in the coin? If not, I'd like someone to ask JB about it if they get ever the chance.
I do have a suggestion for a name, "Urumiel" taken from the name of this sword, the Urumi, which resembled her hair:
