Query for our Industrious Timeline Gnome: is Turn Coat happening the summer six monthsish after Small Favour or the summer eighteen monthsish thereafter ?

The reason I ask is a Turn Coat first chapter spoiler, to wit:

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I don't think we've ever gotten confirmation that Luccio and Luciozzi are the same person.  In fact, I'm confident they aren't.  The list was being read in order of age, and Luccio is over a century younger than Ebenezar.

Does Seniority=Age in the White Council?  In the council meeting Injun Joe said there were people senior to the german in "experience and Art" which I had always assumed meant that both age and magical prowess were factors.  And Luccio, while being relatively young(ish) was introduced as being next in line for a high council seat in DB.

That being said I agree that Luccio and Luciozzi aren't the same person.  Even if Luciozzi was spelled with two c's to make luccio a diminutive of it, and even if everyone decided to start calling her by this nickname universally enough for Dresden to use it while trying to be respectful in DB, I don't see the Captain of the Wardens being on sabbatical with the war being at the stage it was in SK

Well one argument against that would be that, Harry said that. And I'm pretty sure Harry isn't all up to date and doesn't possess completely accurate and detailed information on the White Council, all the time.

But that's my take on that piece. Doubt I'm right.

Politics does seem to play some part in who gets elected to the Senior Council, even if age is the primary factor. For instance, the Merlin seemed to know going into the meeting in Summer Knight how the election to the SC seat would go, and he made a play to get one of his favorites into the position. The only serious opposition was Ebenezar, and Eb's greater seniority gave him the edge.

And the selection process ended with a general vote of all wizards in attendance, so presumably it's possible for some kind of majority to vote against a nominee.

oh absolutely, Im not wondering about the election process to the HC, Im more curious about how the Council defines "seniority."  Eb says he has" fifty years seniority" over the German, but is age the only factor? or does power/skill/prowess also come into consideration, given how Injun Joe worded it.

I've had a little spare time, and i stumbled upon a really nice Timeline Tool, so i gave it a go.

It's still in its early stages, so there may be mistakes.

The Blue Lines over the individual events usually show the spread for those events that can not be exactly placed.
In some few cases they show the actual duration of the event.

This Timeline is based on the assumption that 0 ASF ist the year 2000.

have fun.
