The 3rd post is mine, so you can take it if you need it.  Not sure if I can somehow give you control, or if you just want to PM me with the content.  Whatever is easiest for you  :)

I'm not sure how Serack did it, he may have gotten extra privileges for his services on this forum (such as how he got that Special Collections Division title above his avatar).

Or maybe he just knows more about fiddling with posts than I do.

A while ago you were disappointing that no fans (apparently) found a couple of hints in Turn Coat.  What are they?  And one of them had better not be Rashid talking about it not being "Harry's hour" because that is a confirmation, not a hint. 

It has been stated that the enemy vs ally division is not as clear as people think at this point (at least in terms of who is with the Black Council).  Is Mavra one of those?  I ask due to her apparently not being allied with Cowl during the Sue incident. 

How long would it take for Harry to control all of Faerie if he opened a pizza shop with a portal leading to Mac's brews?

Will there be a changling brother named Richard?  This way we get a Tom, Dick, and Harry trio. 
Sam will kill him if he tries anything.

He's answered NO in all caps the last time someone answered about there being another brother, so no, there will be no brother named Richard.

And the rest of your questions are too spoilery to be answered most likely.

As to the other events that Eb caused one of them mentioned was New Madrid.  I would assume that references a series of massive earthquakes in the New Madrid, MO area in the early 1800's (around 1818-1820) that estimates of the power range from the high 8's to the low 9's on the Richter scale.  I was said the quake rang churchbells as far away as Philledelphia and made the Mississippi River run backwards for a brief period of time.

He also says there's at least a dozen other events that he doesn't elaborate on, I'm asking what those were.

More questions:

What did the Red Court use Chichen Itza for when Cortez was there?

Are there wizards among the ranks of the Einherjar?

Will the Shapeshifting Guru from the Ukraine mentioned in the list of freeholding lords in White Night play a role in the series or will he be like the Jade Court and not appear in the series?

What are Harry's specialties in magic (there have been some inconsistencies about what he is skilled at)? How skilled is he with evocation?

Did Mab rewire his brain to be better at ice magic like speculated? If no, how was he flinging around the precision ice magic in Changes?

Was the moment when Harry lost control of Sue in Dead Beat the moment that Butters got out of the polka suit to go treat Luccio's injuries and having Morgan cover for him?

Was the shadow of death seen behind Kincaid under Harry's sight in Blood Rites Mavra?

Are the White Court, Red Court and Black Court types of phages like Shagnasty and Titania's messenger in Summer Knight imply?

How old are the senior council members?

Did they find Simon's body at Archangel after the Red Court attack?

Will we ever see that short story with Klaus the Toymaker back in WWII?

Will we see more of Klaus the Toymaker?

How many people alive in The Dresden Files have power over Outsiders?

Just a reminder folks, if you feel that the answers to your questions will be a major revelation you may want to think of another question, you can ask it anyway but you'll probably just get an "I'm not gonna tell you" though or maybe a hint if it is too spoilery to answer.

Also, I ask way too many questions.

Also, what do you guys think of some of the questions that have been asked?

Can you affect an accent to keep your name from having Power, or is coming from your lips enough?  For example, if harry had to testify in court and was required to state his full name for the record, could he do a Sean Connery impression when speaking it and not give his True Name to everyone present.

How did Molly and Vince's Date go?  Did he end up running for the hills when the Rag Lady came to town?

I think this is a general Latin question more than anything.  "Phage" basically just means "feeds".  in SK titania called them "Anthrophages" which literally translates to "Eater of Humans".  In PG, the fetches are classified as "Phobophages", since they fed on fear.  I didnt read anything more into the terms than Harry's (and probably the Councils) love of using Latin.  Kinda like the Chlorofiend, which sounds better but literally translates to "Plant Monster".

Molly's illusions entirely mental, or is there real light created?  I'm guessing real light because unintended targets tend to see it, but I grant I could be wrong.

Related, would a laser blast of concentrated light, be feasible via magic?

How does Water Magic work?

Why are the Grey Council sure that the Black Council is one entity and not several entities shenanigans?

Something like that.  They gave me some extra mod privileges.  Mostly so that I can move topics to the DRC and to moderate that area, but I was given rather broad powers elsewhere as well with a verbal leash (I'm not a moderator/bartender, and I won't be using the red mod voice for trying to keep things in line.)

How about I move a bunch of questions into reply 2 (Quantus') to make room for new material in reply 1.

Oh, and knnn got the Special Collections Division title too :)

Oh, that's a good one.  I suspect the ending scene in Dead Beat, but it'd be really nice to get confirmation of when it exactly happened.

Another question:

How many wizards with power over outsiders are there?

Note: I remember seeing someone talking about a comment that we'll only meet some of the people who have power over outsiders and I want to get confirmation that was a real WoJ.

We could still hold out hope that Ebeneezer's middle name might be Richard.   :D
