Line 15:
*** Well, I doubt he'd actually keep the Dis-organizer, he'd probably chuck it. But it'd still be depressing.
 
== theThe events of ''Jingo'' were a contest between Fate and the Lady ==
Similar to the situation in ''[[Interesting Times]]''. Fate takes the stronger position, the Klatchian Empire, while the Lady uses Vimes and the Patrician to stop the war. Him getting the wrong Dis-organizer and the freak weather conditions are a side effect of her influence. Klatch was gearing up for war against them already, so the Lady created the Leshp situation to provide a method by which the war could be defused.
* Aren't ''all'' major events on the Disc a result of the gods' games? I thought one of the books kinda implied something like that.
Line 24:
== Alternate!Vimes somehow ended up following the Dis-organizer and saving everyone. ==
* It might be out of character, but wouldn't that other Dis-organizer be telling that Vimes the other Vimes' triumphs? Perhaps that would lead to him following it in some form.
** The alternate Dis-organizer would be telling Alternate!Vimes about what's happening in our Vimes' universe, but he and the rest of the watchmen DID''did'' die in the alternate universe, as heard from our Dis-organizer.
** Technically, it tells him what he is ''scheduled'' to do - the whole 'looking at the wrong leg' thing began when Vimes wanted it to, essentially, tell the future. Thing is... you don't necessarily need to follow your schedule.
