Stormgate Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) I, Thoughtward the Awakened blade, request entry into the Theorybreakers. I was Awakened with the command, "challenge theories". Can I join? (Stormgate's note: please don't let him. I have enough trouble with Thoughtward challenging me on my theories, I don't need a spren to do it too. Besides, I hardly ever let him type.)

Kynedath Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 These are important questions for a Knight Theoretic. I'm glad you're asking them Are they? Such a theory must necessarily require evidence! This isn't a theory though. This is just a statement and clarification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Elodin Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I would like to become a theorysmith. Speaking of which, as I just had an idea! What if you the "healer who takes his blood" (death rattle) is Kaladin at the end of book 10? WoB says that the end is in the beginning. Actually, I think I might be a theorydancer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights! To theories!!! Let's see what happens. Speak the oaths! I would like to become a theorysmith. Speaking of which, as I just had an idea! What if you the "healer who takes his blood" (death rattle) is Kaladin at the end of book 10? WoB says that the end is in the beginning. Actually, I think I might be a theorydancer. Well, speak the oaths and you can join. But remember that you have to live by them. I assume you're speaking of that quote: “I’m dying, aren’t I? Healer, why do you take my blood? Who is that beside you, with his head of lines? I can see a distant sun, dark and cold, shining in a black sky.” The general consensus seems to be that the man questions one of the bloodletters at Taravangian's Death Hospital. Then he sees a Cryptic and then sees into Shadesmar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Elodin Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes, but what if it's someone Kaladin kills? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) The problem is that: Collected on the 3rd of Jesnan, 1172, 11 seconds pre-death. Subject was a Reshi chull trainer. Sample is of particular note. It refers to those Death Rattles which occured in Taravangian's Death House....Unless you say that what the man said was not in fact that he realized he had his blood let and glimpsed into Shadesmar, but he had a vision (some of them are spoken from perspective of another human) of somebody who Kaladin was killing and that Kaladin's victim glimpsed into Shadesmar?Now that would be interesting.Theorydancer, was it?P.S.I posted a theory on electrum countering atium, you guys have seen it?

Master Elodin Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes, I meant a vision. Seems like a good place for Brandon to hide an ending. Anyways, the oaths.

Stormgate Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Facts before guessing Checking before assuming Reason before conclusion What. Have. You. Done. I'm Bronlen. Spren of the Theorybreakers. Hey! One spren per poster! Bonrel, Bronlen, Thoughtward, calm down.

BramFinem Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hello! I would like to join, but I know not which order I best fit. I usually support the theory's of others, and participate in the extrapolation of facts and uses of magic systems being applied to other situations. As I have not made an offical theory, (apart from a tiny on about how the Infinity Blade games might be connected to the Cosmere) I'm not sure if I qualify. Any ideas as to how I may fit or if I qualify would be greatly appreciated! Edited March 20, 2016 by BramFinem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 You seem like a Theoryrunner material to me.For those confused about belonging to one of the Orders, there is always gonna be an overlap. Can't be helped, I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramFinem Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thank you for suggesting it, but I've been considering, and I feel that since I remember information to share with others, I would fit into the Theorydancers better! I speak the oaths: Facts before Guessing, Checking before Assuming, Reason before Conclusion! My Theoryspren Locke and I will be proud to represent these ideals! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Now that you mention it, I realized that Theorydancers and Theoryrunners are very similar:Theoryrunners argue in defence of theories (which also covers WoBs)Theorydancers provide WoBs (which can also cover defending theories)Eh. One day, when I'll have time, I may do a rework of Orders similar to one another. I don't mind help, so I'm open to suggestions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoidhunter Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I don't know who found out that Felt was a worldhopper, but can we make him/her an honorary Theorysmith? Facts before guessing. Checking before assuming. Reason before conclusion. "I will extrapolate instead of criticise. I will bring the details together." Count me in guys. I don't know how much input I'm going to have over the next couple of months (moving across the country), but I'm flattered for getting the invitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeMarshall Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Also. While this thread revives... @Spoolofwhool we've been having a delightful discussion about nicrosil feruchemy.

Spoolofwhool Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Possibly. I'm not very good at coming up with theories however, just discussing them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak the First Oath: Quote Facts before guessing. Checking before assuming. Reason before conclusion. Theorybreakers are those who deal with judging and assessing theories, finding flaws and inconsistencies, providing arguments to the contrary etc but they have to stay polite and civilized about it. Such critical feedback is (pun not intended) critical to the person who made the theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Since that thing got a little more alive, what do you guys think about turning it into a place to craft and discuss theories? That is, if anyone is willing to share what theory they're working on to get some pre-publication feedback. In the meantime, I started WoB Stack Exchange. It's a place to help with finding those WoBs you swear you remember but can't find anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
