Well then, this little break, much less useful than the one about Dust. I was hoping to see something about culture and stuff, not vague generalizations that only really reinforce the point that the world is a scary place beyond the walls of the Kingdoms. Oh well, till next week then.

Pretty much it confirms there are people who, for some reason or another, decide to live outside these fortified cities (like Ruby's entire family).
-And like most of Ruby's family, [u]they tend to disappear[/u] overnight [u]without explanation[/u]. [b]But disappear from who[/b]?

As evil as Roland may seem to be, I don't think his aim is to destroy the one thing keeping the nasties away from him.[/quote]

[quote=flamelord]I got the feeling was that most of the people 'disappearing', got brutally murdered by Grimm. Or raiders. 

Yeah, pretty much lends credence to my belief that that spiel he gave to the White Fang was playing to the crowd. The White Fang want to overthrow the current order and get revenge on everyone who wronged them. The plan hits a seriously flaw if the army that Cinder is building doesn't take the armaments that Torchwick can provide. So he has to get them on his side. [u]If Vale collapsed then all his wealth would be worthless after all, though I could see him going for the 'Robber King' schtick[/u]. 

Also reinforces the belief that The White Fang and Cinder's group will inevitably backstab each other on the verge of victory or shortly thereafter, allowing the heroes to swoop in and save the day while they're divided and fighting amongst themselves..[/quote]

We've been wrong before.

Ironwood is a good guy, right? and Roman is a bad guy?

I've already voiced my concern on "where all of Roman's stuff is coming from'.
-I'm set that Weiss's dad is a crooked-ass gun-running griefer.

[u]My guess is the virus is what's blocking Ruby's cell-phone signal.[/u] Y'know, since it's in THE communications-hub of Vale.
-This would also make it impossible for Roman to warn everyone of the double-cross/grimmvasion.

Checkmate.

[u]This is the storytelling version of the Polish-Blitz strategy to chess[/u]. Obvious only to people who have used it before and failed, and countered easily enough by simply doing the same thing your opponent does. [u]It's only hard when you want to win without stooping to your opponent's tactics.[/u]

How far can we rocket Jaune's locker with Zwei inside? Since we already know [I]where[/I] they are.

Also... ALL THE TEACHERS/HUNTRESSES HAVE LEFT VALE ON 'MISSIONS'.
