Questions for Jim 2012 style 2

[Wintersage]

I just hope anyone from here got through, and is taking notes on questions/answers that might need to make their way to Sereck's WoJ compliation.

Whoops...now it's been rescheduled.

[TheCuriousFan]

Anyone else getting the "we're rescheduling it for maintenance, check back tomorrow for the new date" screen?

[cmprostreet]

I also got the rescheduling screen.  Guess I'll have more to look forward to!

Things like that are no problem though, since they answers tend to stay up years after the event, so it is just to go to the link and check but too bad there were to many people who wanted to ask questions today, well atleast it means I get some sleep

Yep. Someone quoted that message in the "Anyone else having a problem with BBB?" thread. That's not the literal title of the thread, though; I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact wording. It's something like that, though.

"We apologize for the current technical issues, but our host simply cannot handle all of the awesome Dresden and Jim Butcher fans. We are sadly going to have to cancel the event for tonight, but Jim has graciously agreed to come to the site with more books after his tour. By that time we will have a new host and MORE bandwidth!

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding -- Rachel"

It's dead.

This raises a very important question for me.

How durable are the reddit servers?

Fortunately, this should pose no problem for Tuesday's Reddit event.  Even an AMA with Obama couldn't bring them down for long!

[Stiletto]

Ya know...if they didn't insist you mention the rsvp during the event to be entered in the contest, they wouldn't have 300+ posts simply saying RSVP, without a single question, and maybe their host could have handled the traffic. I missed the last q&a for GS, and waited a year to ask my question. I think I had just got it posted, too. Oh well.

[peregrine]

You don't mention the RSVP during the contest, you mention it to RSVP for the contest.  The server crashed because people were trying to ask questions.  The RSVPing was not what did it.

I nearly forgot that I want to ask when we will see Tera West's and MacFinn's kid.  That bit has been a long time coming.

They're confirmed to have a kid? I thought it was just suspicion that they had one and that it was Fitz.

It is just speculation that Fitz was said kid, but by the terms of the curse Mcafinn had to have one.  The curse stipulated that the family Line would not die out until the End of Days.  Which fortunately is only a decade or so away

And Macfinn couldn't simply have relatives?

[Quantus]

And Macfinn couldn't simply have relatives?

well:

"MacFinn is a member of an ancient family line from an island known as Ireland. His family has a notable history. Sometime in the murky past, legend would have it, the man known as Saint Patrick cursed his ancestor to become a ravening beast at every full moon. The curse came with two addenda. First, that it would be hereditary, passing down to someone new each and every generation. And second, that the cursed line of the family would never, ever die out, lasting until the end of days."

So yes, he could have cousins that had a really bad night all the sudden.  I had assumed that it was a father to son direct line thing like The Darkness comic I used to read, but it doesnt look like it.
