I got this problem on a work sheet. I think it pretty much speaks for itself. Edit: Apparently, Chaos is my Calculus 3 instructor. Small world...

I think it looks awesome, but….. "Do you have….you know…" Harry pushed his fringe aside. Ron's eyes widened. "So, ah, what is it supposed to be?" "Lightning, I think." "Really? I thought it kind of looked like roots, or a really weird carrot." "Please…please don't say that too loud…." "Why not?" "Haha!" someone shouted. "Carrot boy!" Harry sighed so hard his soul left his body.

Yup, that would be me! It's kind of surreal that someone would actually be my student and also be a 17th Sharder. I gave this out in 2014 and I thought it'd be amusing to give it out again. But yep, that's me. Apparently Brandon's supposed to be coming to Montana next year at Christopher Paolini's suggestion. He said this on Reddit, but we have no details quite yet, it seems. If you came to that, I'd definitely be there. When I taught precalculus, I gave a mixing problem where Kelsier was mixing some Allomancer's pewter. No one got the reference then, but when I gave this take-home in 2014 one person out of my two sections got it! This time slightly more have spotted the reference, so yay! And now for me to grade your quizzes

Holy rust. Chaos is my Calculus instructor! Okay. Brain overloaded. Rebooting for repairs.

I really like Marsh's PoVs in HoA. Also, he would definitely win in a fight.

@I_am_a_StickMarsh would win either way imo. Way too fast for vasher to hit and can kill from long range with coins. Plus emotional allomancy and atium, and he can push or pull on vasher's metal buckles.

Me and my dog izzy, after playing for a few minutes.

Chapter 4 will close on Tuesday, October 18th at 8PM EST! Chapter 5 will begin two hours later! Chapter 4: The Mad Hunt Sanis caught the ionBlade with one hand, never looking away from Lumina. Then he simply… sat, watching her, as the room murmured. Several offered their support for Lumina, but eventually every voice died away as they stared at Sanis, who still hadn’t responded. The silence stretched on. All the lancers began to shift uncomfortably in their seats. Lumina didn’t move, however. Trying to outwait me? she thought inwardly, somewhat amused. She maintained eye contact with him, prepared to wait all day if necessary. He had no other options now, and he knew just as well as she did that he’d have no chance against her in a fair fight. But he was a Gold, and Golds did not back down. Sanis stared back, imagining his hands slowly suffocating the life out of her as she could do nothing but thrash futilely, out of reach of any of her precious swords, struggles getting weaker and weaker... Finally, he smiled, conceding the point. He stood slowly, gripping the ionBlade, and bowed to the room with a flourish. “Well, then. Seems my little games have to come to an end. Pity. I would’ve liked to see Tiberius die.” Murmurs around the table. Sanis grinned. Lumina smiled, just barely. Thank you for that public admission of guilt. Would’ve been awkward if you’d turned out to be faithful. But she said nothing, simply walked to the edge of the table and hopped down, walking to the clear space beside the end of the table. Sanis wasn’t finished speaking, it seemed. “But he will die, soon enough. And let’s just say that those still faithful to him will not be looked upon with favor.” He strode into the space opposite Lumina, still confident, though he knew he was facing his death. “I’m not surprised I was caught. I wasn’t precisely subtle. My compatriots, on the other hand… Well. All the rumors you all heard about me? They were true.” He bowed to Lumina, perfectly correctly. She responded in kind, though her senses were alert for any hint of movement. Killing her while her head was down would be precisely his style. “My companions are worse.” Sanis charged wildly, waving the ionBlade with abandon. Lumina waited until the last moment, then drew the katana at her waist, blocking each wild strike efficiently and precisely. He faltered for a moment, having expected her to draw her razor. That had been the idea. She kept blocking for a moment. He was nowhere near as skilled a swordsman, yes, but even beginners could have a lucky stroke, and Lumina wasn’t particularly interested in being hit by an ionBlade. So she defended. It took Sanis a while to get fatigued. He was a Gold, and a relatively fit one. But he certainly wasn’t used to holding a heavy object above his waist for extended periods of time, and Lumina was. When she judged him tired enough, she attacked back, knocking his sword out of the way again and again, landing touches on his shoulders, hands, two parallel slashes on his cheeks. With a twist, she knocked his blade completely out of his grip and put the katana at his throat. Sanis’ hand twitched. He had a knife in the back of his shirt, as always. If he could just reach it… “And they say I’m Tiberius’ assassin,” he said scornfully. “You’re worse, Lumina. You’re his executioner. How does that make you any better than me?” That her way, the other party had a chance, she thought. But she didn’t speak. Duels were not places for words, and she had a reputation to keep up, after all. Besides, there was no need. Sanis reached for his dagger, but he wasn’t quick enough. All it would take was for Lumina to twitch her fingers, and Sanis’ throat would gape open. But when she did, she saw no blood, only felt... resistance. What? His hand was getting closer to the small of his back. Surprised, she swiftly brought the flat of the blade to her shoulder and swung it at his neck, desperate to finish him before... Too late. At once, Lumina's katana struck Sanis in the neck and broke, the fragmented blade landing on Nyanah's lap nearby. At once, Sanis' own knife flew at her and burrowed into her own throat, sinister delight pulling at the corners of his lips. She could tell that the knife just barely missed her artery, but still, that did not stop the darkness from overwhelming her. The last thing she heard before her consciousness faded was Spartacus yelling "Someone wake the Yellows!" as he slipped his arms underneath her and ran for the med bay. Sanis relished in the chaos. While a few of his fellow lancers sprint ahead of Spartacus to wake the Yellows, most of them just sat still and watched him, the War Room a mixed bag of emotions. Some stared at him with awe, others with interest, a few with plain indifference, but most of them with anger. In the end, Sanis decided he was not ready to die, and so he burst from the table and through the door closest to him, making sure to run the opposite direction of the med bay. Would anyone try to follow him? Surely. But despite already being wounded, he would escape. He had to. If he could just get outside the Aerie, Nero's men could grab him and bring him to safety until he was ready to fight again. Next time, he would win. As soon as Sanis leapt for the door, a flurry of motion erupted around Nyanah, though she hardly paid it any mind, for she was too busy staring at the blade sitting in her lap, or rather, lodged into her abdomen, to care much about anything other than her own mortality. Blood seeping through her clothes, the Bondsmith held her breath, refusing to draw any Stormlight in until there was no one left to watch her. Between her tightening lungs and the shredded nerves, she could feel unconsciousness creeping towards her, but then the last lancer was outside of the room and she ripped the blade from her gut, gasping for air, the last of her stormlight reserves flooding into her to mend the wound. Like Sanis, she would live to see another day, though this time, she reflected, I'll have to be a bit more careful if I want to get home. Hours later, when Lumina had finally awoke, she found herself fully healed, albeit a tad bit exhausted. Gently, she probed at the soft, pink resFlesh that made her neck whole again. Despite herself, despite the pain, the woman smiled, content that she survived Sanis' blade just as he had survived her own. Sadly she would not survive the assassin when they found her napping a few minutes later. Lumina didn't even murmur as the blood bubbled from her reopened throat, though her eyes did flick open to take in the face of her killer. And thus Lumina the Quiet would speak no more. Sanis was defeated in a dual, but survived! He was challenged by Lumina, who was cheered on by Spartacus, Magestar, Danii, Stick, Jefry, Nirgal, Priam, Khazad, Tia, Gregor, Nyanah and Sanis. Elbereth was Lumina au Julii, a Faithful lancer in the ArchGovernor's Employ. She was slain by an unknown assassin. Lumina's whisperGem contained the following message. Nyanah was attacked, but survived!

I tried to get Siri, the virtual assistant on iPhones to call me the Lord Ruler. The conversation went as follows: Me: Siri, call me the Lord Ruler. Siri: I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Me: I WILL DRILL A HOLE THROUGH YOUR MECHANICAL BRAIN WITH A COIN YOU ARTIFICIAL SWINE. (Already playing the part of the Lord Ruler) Siri: I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Me: ...

Marsh, when it comes to combat he's just overpowered, also considering that he still has Atium.

On a happier note, it agreed to call me the Lord Ruler. Still doesn't agree to worship me though.

The universe of the cosmere is different from real-life, even without the influence of Adonalsium. On these planets, there is still the Cognitive Realm and the Spiritual Realm, and there are phenomena relating to these realms that don't come from Shards, but from ambient Investiture. On Threnody, there's a phenomenon in the Cognitive realm, which results souls not moving Beyond and staying as Shades. On First of the Sun, the birds have natural interactions with the other realms (like hiding someone in the Cognitive realm, or seeing the future using the Spiritual realm). Souls are made of Investiture, so that might be the source of this ambient Investiture. The planets also appear to have unique elements to them in how they interact with Shards and magic. In other words, if Harmony went and Invested in a different shardworld, it would manifest a new magic system, which would be distinct from what was seen on Scadrial. So, that's how different minor Shardworlds can have different manifestations. So, it's kind of like how RL earth has different ecosystems, even at the same latitudes/longitudes. Life in the Sahara desert is very different than in Central America, even without human interference and civilization to build cities and all that stuff. The South Pole got penguins, and the North Pole got polar bears. The different environments on different Shardworlds can result in different kinds of life and different ways to interact with native Investiture.

You think to tempt me with such measly upvotes? I'm voting for Marsh. Besides maybe Vin, he's my favorite Sanderson character. A fight between Marsh and Vasher could go either way, but in the end I think that Marsh would win. Even if Vasher knew he had to remove the spikes, I doubt he would be able to. And although I do like Vasher, I juts like Marsh's story so much better. The moment at the end of HoA when he Also, I'll be upvoting any votes for Marsh

Fan art of what Harry Potter's scar would look like if it actually looked like lightning.

Marsh. One of the most badchull characters in the Cosmere. Plus, he'd destroy Vasher in a fight.

Marsh. Amazing character with a great redemption story, plus he has a spike in at least one eye, so that's a plus.

So, after another reread, I began to form a theory about Taravangian. His boon from the Night Watcher was to gain the capacity to save the world. As we know from Book 2, this manifested in his "condition", where his intelligence varies by day. But so does his compassion and empathy. While super intelligent, he is amoral. On his most intelligent day, he was so unimaginably brilliant that he was thousands of times smarter than the average man, and created the diagram. This, ostensibly, was the blueprint by which he could save the world. But that day of unparalleled brilliance must have also been, comesurately, his most evil. The most evil a man can be. The most devoid of compassion, righteousness, or morals. Such is the nature of his curse/boon from the Night Watcher. I think the most tragic thing is that Taravangian was given the capacity to save the world. Truly and honorably. I think he's just decided to follow the wrong plan. Everything he's done, every evil action, has been the result of following a plan he decided on in one single day. A single day in which he was an utter, complete sociopath. On his dumber days, when he's not so dumb as to be drooling, he's consigned to anguished sorrow over the evil he's done because he's followed that one day's plan. But what if, on his less intelligent days, he was given the capacity to care enough that, using the resources he has as a king, he could really make a difference? But since he started following that damnation diagram, he's too paralyzed with guilt to do anything useful now when he's that compassionate? More than that, why is he trusting his most ethically bankrupt self with the safety of all humankind? I just think it's a massive mistake. He should be following a different plan. I dunno, this isn't really that important an observation. But it's about 4 am and I just needed to share my thoughts, haha ^^;

Just picked up Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages, Alloy of Law, Elantris, and Warbreaker. I'm fresh off my first Sanderson experience with The Stormlight Archives and I was blown away by how awesome it was. WoK was my first book after ASOIAF and I enjoyed it so much more than any one of those.

Don't treat the difference in years as a reason to adjust ages. If he says someone is 50, consider them equivalent to 50 on Earth, because they obviously (based on examples like Kaladin, Tien, Shallan, Adolin, etc) age equivalently. They act like the age we are told they are, not the one you have to do math to reach. Besides, Dalinar is the Blackthorn. He'll probably be incredible well into his 80s. jW

Just ran across this gem from Reddit (apologies if it showed up elsewhere on the forums already): Sounds amazing to me, very much looking forward to both the code monkey and Scadrial nerd culture, as well as the comics! jW

Got my signed copy of Elantris , with question answered! (They emailed me to clarify the question, which is why i got so in depth). Exactly what i emailed is below, typos included. The background to my question is this: It was once stated by Mr Sanderson that "Magic in the cosmere needs a guiding force. If it doesn't have one, the magic itself will gain sentience." We also have that things like Nightblood that gained sentience because of crazy amounts of investiture. My question then is: "Is the reason that investiture has this tendency to lead to sentience caused by the fact that pre-shattering Adonalsium had a goal/purpose/intent of bringing sentience to his universe." (I guess this is in a way a 2 part question, because it assumes that Adonalsium actually HAD the intent of bringing sentience to his Cosmere) And his answer: Yes, this is part of the reason. Good question!

Vin

"Come on, Siri. Just worship me a little bit?" "I'm sorry, I didn't get that." "Okay….Siri, can you swear?" "Yes, I can swear. What would you like me to say?" "Say 'Lord Ruler! I can't believe you'd do something so stupid!'" "I'm sorry, but even while blaspheming, I would acknowledge you as my god."

Why would you think that Rosharans age at the same rate as Earthlings? They don't....they're basically aliens. If a character is 19, he's 19

It was just a joke...

Is your teacher named Eric Lake? If so, that would be @Chaos

Hm, that's a good question. On one hand, Nightblood was also a solo entry in the tournament and is arguably his own character. But Vasher also uses it as a weapon throughout Warbreaker and it's feasible to say that he might use it here. I'm hesitant to say Vasher solo since I'm voting for Marsh and don't want to come across as biased, but that's the scenario that I had in mind. All of the other votes concerning Vasher haven't mentioned Nightblood (I think) but if enough people want to factor him into their vote, I don't have a problem with that. Hopefully I'm not shooting myself in the foot by saying so.

I thought it was a cat, curled up and snoozing away in somebody's busted front bumper. Yeah, it was a dead raccoon. Really glad I didn't pet it now.

This is an idea I had, and was wondering if anyone was interested. The basic principal of this rp would be this: Members of the 17th Shard, from different planets and backgrounds, are tasked with finding the elusive Hoid. It would take place roughly at the same time as The Way of Kinds/Words of Radiance. The only problem is, I've never done an rp in this format and, quite honestly, have no idea what I'm doing. If you're interested, let me know

Read the tags Most if it was written by @Elbereth, since she had wanted to RP the battle with Wonko. I had her write the scene and her victory, but then modified the end to fit what actually happened.

Vin and how did I get FIVE upvotes in the last round?

Because I don't want the game to end, and blocking Bard from leading the lynch might help prevent it.

Day 9 - Duel's End Reginald wandered the halls of the building, empty since the attack last night. The events of that night were a blur - he still couldn't figure out how Kaloo is still alive. He remembered drawing his weapon and Kaloo moving and a clang, but that's all. There were holes in his memory, but he didn't like to think about them. Well, that was hardly the first time he tried to kill Kaloo - maybe it was time to stop. The man seemed to be surprisingly, and annoyingly, unkillable. "And so here we are again," said a voice from behind him. Reginald whirled to see a familiar face - Kaloo, of course, come back for another round. "I tire of this, Kaloo," Reginald said, holding his hands to the side to show they were empty. "Can we simply go our separate ways? Enough is enough, and our enmity is only drawing attention away from the real issue here - the Cognitive Knot and those who maintain it." They was ridiculous, the words he was saying, but he just had to buy some more time. He just needed ten heartbeats. "It is too late for that, don't you think?" Kaloo said, slowly advancing on him. He needed time, just a little bit of time... No, you don't, a voice said in the back of his mind. You don't need to wait, you can do this right now. Admit the truth, at least to yourself, and you can be saved. "No," he murmured to himself, "I need to wait just another five heartbeats, before I summon my blade. He's on the other side of the room, I'm fine, I'll be fine, and there's nothing strange about my blade. I need to wait." He tried one more time at delaying Kaloo. "We were friends once, Kaloo. I only tried to kill you because you tried to kill me. Please, let us partner with each other again - think of what we could do, together." Kaloo considers this a moment. "No," he says a moment later, a moment too soon for Reginald, and a crack fills the air. Reginald's shardblade materialized in his hand as he slumped to the ground, dead. Shaking his head, Kaloo left the scene before others could arrive. Dalinar has been killed! Two independents have accomplished all of their goals! Day 9 has begun and will last 46.8 hours. Player List

Now you have a new tool of class derailment

Sanis...had heard, right? The silence pounded against their ears. Was no response truly forthcoming? Spartacus could see some awkward glances being thrown around. Some of the other lancers began talking quietly among themselves, discussing how best to find the other traitors. Pierce burst into the room, grovelling, only to see that Tiberius wasn’t there. Nirgal walked in, took a look at the room, and went off shaking his head. Stick looked like she was highly enjoying the showdown between Lumina and Sanis. Khazad spouted his thoughts to anyone who would listen, then ran back to his corner. Nyanah showed off her new ionblade to some admiring lancers, and vowed to kill another Forsworn on it. Lucius muttered some of his suspicions on Nyanah and some other lancers for good measure, cheered Lumina, then faded into the crowd. Nyanah and Burganaa were throwing glances at Tia, the amnesiac lancer, who suddenly burst out with her suspicions all of a sudden. Chaos. And through it all, Sanis had not spoken. So...no more discussion guys? I'm tempted to suspect you again, Elbereth, for posting that, knowing it might inhibit discussion Also, I am sad that the RP battle has not materialized. So it's late on my side, and I won't be awake before rollover, so I'm going to take a page out of Burnt's book (Btw, great to see you finally contributing, Burnt, and your post is good) and post a full suspicion list! Darkness Ascendant - Has posted quite a bit of RP. Has always been rather chaotic from what games I've seen him in. I'm really 50/50 on him here. he implies he is Fabii. He has tried to redirect the lynch on Bugsy last cycle to Legend, and yet this cycle seems to imply that he might be shifting Wonko's vote to himself. An eliminator deciding again to bus another teammate to gain trust? Someone genuinely trying to help? I'm leaning on the former, honestly, but only because I still don't have much to go on. Daniyah - Another silent character except for the occasional RP. Suspicions? neutral, but it's going to rise if you don't start posting some discussion soon, Dani. Assassin - Also has been mostly silent except for RP. His one discussion post was him cheering Rae to avoid vote manipulations. Still not sure how to read him. Also hoping for more posts. Magestar - Has been quite helpful, especially in the previous cycle, where he contributed some discussion. Has been reserving his vote on both occasions. (Did you actually cheer El this cycle, Mage? You said you did in RP, but there's no color). Reading village for now, hope to see more of him. Wonko as Sanis - Does anything need to be said? Slice 'im up, El Jondesu - You're new, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Has mostly been asking game related questions such as how duels or lynches work. Supported Bard in directing a duel at Straw. reads mostly village for now? Would also like to see more AliasSheep - Has been talking to me in PMs. Has been transparent and open, so for the moment I trust him, and read him village. Also cheered for Rae I_am_a_Stick - Has started posting a little in response to my post calling out inactives. Guess I finally got her to err... stick up for herself? (You're not the only one with the puns, Burnt) Hope to see more of you Stick! You cheered for Rae, but sadly that's not much of an indication when Wonko did the same. Still, I'm reading village for now. livinglegend - Legend? what legend? I've never heard of 'im! Sadly, has not shown up since cycle 1. Impossible to say. @livinglegend? Bugsy6912 - Grrr Burnt took all the head puns. I may as well quit well she's a-head. (sorry not sorry) The_Lady_of_Chaos - Another silent one, sigh. Also new, also giving benefit of the doubt, but try to contribute a bit? Is anyone in a PM with her? Anyone can confirmt atht she's more active in PMs? I'm going to start suspecting her if she doesn't post more. Elenion - Len, Why didn't you cheer for Rae the last cycle after you said you would? You were the one who supported her duel on Bugsy in the first place, citing his use of pathos, and you were right. Why didn't you follow through? That said, you have been pretty active in discussion, and kept your points relevant. Village read. The Young Bard- Understand that you're busy with LG27, so I'm going to give you a pass for now. I'm not forgetting your duel with Straw though, I'd say minor elim read. You can correct me if you want. @The Young Bard TheMightyLopen as Priam - Posts rarely, but mostly relevant discussion. Village read for now, though there is Rae's comment about him not posting as much as he usually does. I've got no baseline to compare this with, so I hope you prove yourself. Burnt Spaghetti as Tia - Just posted a massive discussion post. Seems to be pretty clear. Still not fully trusting her, but much less suspicious of her now. There is, however, the fact that she claims she has not started any PMs except one. Might be true, but could be a lie, considering how active a PMer she is. Perhaps she doesn't need to create PMs because they were already created for her. Still, I'm willing to trust her a bit for now. Village read. Arraenae as Nyanah - What can I say? she duelled and killed Bugsy. She has also been pretty transparent about having a Blade and seems happy to help the village. But I'm always a bit wary of trigger happy vigilantes, (Sorry Rae). She has also been posting her merit counts, which for the most part tally with my counts. That's transparency there, i guess, so I trust her. Elbereth as Lumina - Fully cleared, what can I say? Unless this is some spectacular gambit, she is most likely a confirmed villager. Straw as Morsde - Says he will be dropping out? Pity. jefrywlfersn as Jefry - RP only, no discussion. Post more or I will be suspicious. Neutral read for now. G'night guys. Hope to see more discussion when I wake.

Oh yay. Elenion posted. When i started typing this i thought i was gonna end up double posting... So, since you guys don't wanna let me lurk in peace like usual, i may as well babble and ramble while i avoid homework (>>). So. As Lopen has said, I'm hardly known for being a player who's active in discussion. Most games i only post once per cycle. If you're lucky. So. Thread silence isn't unusual for me. Pm silence is, but i plan to fix that. I've got 11 merit to burn through. May as well use that to start pms. To be honest I'm pondering a public role claim. Why? Partly as a sign of good faith i guess. Also partly cause that's something i've not really tried before. I should get more comfortable speaking up in thread. I should try and focus more on the game mechanics and discussion rather than just chatting and writing stories. I should try something new, purely because it is new, to me. But I don’t. So why haven't I? Because i might be a eliminator trying to hide from the public. Well i tell you right now, if that were the case then why am i not more talkative as a villager. I'll tell you why. Because it is my playstyle. I lurk. I observe. I note. I pass my notes to a more analytic player. They parse the data and deal with suspicions. I am a player who stands back, avoids getting too involved where i can. And this does not change whether i may be evil or good. (Well, of course that depends on the role of course, but, still. I'm generally pretty consistent.). I do think my playstyle needs to start to change more. I have been playing for over a year now, yet I still get anxious about posting any thoughts in the thread. Yes that’s right. Posting in thread scares me. It always has. And if i wasn’t always so nervous of making mistakes in thread, well, perhaps i would be more active in discussion. I guess what i’m trying to say though is, guys, this is normal for me. And sometimes i get a little frustrated that the majority of games I play my play style is often the primary reason for any suspicion on me. Sure, I have earnt that suspicion but still. You guys can keep telling me to be more active in discussion. You often do. It's just not...me. And...heh...thing is with me, sometimes i do go to add to discussion, but then i panic and just...Don’t. Yes panic. I don’t like posting anything I’m not sure about. At all. I don’t even like voting for people if i’m not sure about them. Hmph. Anyways, i’m not sure how necessary this rant is. But. You guys wanted me to post more so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tbh part of me is already going “dude this post is just going to make people think you are trying too hard to get rid of suspicion. Why bother even post this?” So… I should probably add some actual discussion points to this as well Part of me feels like Rae is just trigger happy when it comes to me, which i honestly don’t blame her for. But, how about i do one of my old traditions. Percentage liiiist~ Percentage list: 0%=good, 50%=¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (or i can't remember and can’t be bothered thinking), 100%=Kill them now 1- Darkness Ascendant -52% *shrugs* RP only...Like me, come to think of it... 2. Daniyah -48% *shrugs* Rp only. Like me, come to think of it Well no. I’m discussing! See look. this is discussion post stuff right here 3. Assassin in Burgundy -48% 4. Magestar -50% 5. Wonko-100% He’s about to be dead Like, dead! Hopefully! RIP! Or not. I still want that RP battle, storm it 6. Jondesu -50% 7. AliasSheep -45% 8. I_am_a_Stick -55% 9. Livinglegend - 50% 10. Bugsy6912- He deaded. Pretty spectacularly too. Like, no one needs to lose their head over how dead he is but… he’s pretty dead. Can I say I laughed my head off? No? 11. The_Lady_of_Chaos -46% 12 Elenion - 47% 13.The Young Bard -50% 14. TheMightyLopen-.....51%.....well….61%...no...52%....mm. Yea. bout there. I’m…. uncertain. I feel a read on you building up already, but, i don’t trust my read currently I feel my own quietness has been messing with my ability to read you but……… 15. Doc -20% Great guy. Good rp. Good chatting. Posts more than i do (surprise). Also the only one to open a pm with me soo (yay! Awesomeness!)…. He gets special treatment for being nice Also seems pretty village to me so…. 16. Arraenae - 60% Just… gut really, and i’m often twitchy about those who point pointy objects in my general direction Though really. You’re probably village.

Vasher. He was innovative in his world and magic system in ways that Marsh wasn't. Plus, he has some nice opposites going on with characters, and displays the fickilty of history, as he is known by multiple names due to the different roles that he has played.

Sorry @kaisa, but... ROFL! Gender bias is one thing, but competitiveness(?) is a whole different ball-game ...then again, I will no doubt be rolling on the other side of my floor once I've taken a quiz (watch this space)

Everything is a hurry when you're a freshman in high school. Like, I don't own a locker (very few people in my school do). I just have all my stuff in a messenger bag and I run (well, stumble) from class to class.

Well we know that spren can be captured in gems and there are some theories that the Unmade are spren. So maybe the sphere holds one of the Unmade and that's why it hasn't gone dun.

Wow, this sounds pretty cool. I really enjoy Hoid's character and role playing as someone who tries to find him sounds neat. Though, i probably should mention that i have zero experience with role playing games in general, so im gonna have to look at a few forums and search up stuff before i get involved in this. Regardless, i absolutely love your idea and hope to see how it turns out. Just thought i'd share my thoughts.

might want to spoiler that

I was waiting for Apache Helicopters to show up anyway, to contribute to this topic I must say I don't even personally know anyone who isn't heterosexual, so I find everything I read about it quite interesting. What's the difference between pansexual and bisexual?

So, it's been forever since I had time to review and work on my idea (been working midnights all summer, no internet at work). What I alluded to above was that I think I found two pairs of glyphs that are "related;" in that they seem to be mirrors of each other.
