  1. Can using the letter f to denote a metal's Feruchemical ability stop? Feruchemical iron and Feruchemical steel looks awful. This convention needs to stop.

      The only shortened alternative I can think of would be saying "AlloSteel" and "FeruSteel". Would that be suitable?

      Oops. That may be mostly my fault, if I recall correctly... :\

      I agree that Feruchemical iron looks funky, but most of the others look fine to me, for what it's worth.

      I agree. While it may look weird, it makes conversations about different metals easier. Until someone comes up with an as good but different method, I'm using this one.

  2. Okay guys we need to stop calling a full Mistborn + Feruchemist a "twinawesome." That is the worst possible name for it ever.

  3. "Allomantic bronze" as a notation for "Allomantic bronze" still annoys the crap out of me. Metals are not capitalized!

      I think he would prefer Tapping Bronze/Storing Bronze. Or Allomantic Bronze/ Feruchemical Bronze.

      Also, I don't think it's a good idea to patronize the Lord Ruler.

    3. Steel

      Steel

      Hmm. Maybe aSn for Allomantic Tin and fSn for Feruchemical Tin?

      Don't know what we'd do for Bronze since it isn't a compound or an element. Maybe a88%Cu12%Sn for allomantic?

      "Also, I don't think it's a good idea to patronize the Lord Ruler."

      Can I just say that I want that in a forum signature? :D

  4. I just made the best word filters on 17S! I wonder how long it will take for people to figure out what I did. Muwhahaha.

      You still haven't figured it out?

    3. Kipper

      Would it be something that everybody would notice?

    4. Aonar

      Aonar

      Sneaky. I figured it out. :P Not telling, though.

  5. Did you know 17S is the number one Google result when you search Brandon Sanderson fan site? Yeah, it's pretty sweet.

  6. The site got 650,000 hits this month. Um, wow.

    1. ZeldaDad

      ZeldaDad

      That is awesome. That's 650,000 occurences where someone's day was improved by visiting here.

    2. Puck

      Puck

      how are hits measured? is that the total count of all pages, or is it unique visitors?

    3. Chaos

      Chaos

      Not uniques, I imagine.

  7. "It's ridiculous that you know these song names off the top of your head." "Oh yeah? What are all the Allomantic metals, Eric?" "...Shush you."

    1. yahas

      yahas

      Wait... There are people who DON'T know the allomantic metals off the top of their head? :o

    2. Chaos

      I know, it shocks me too.

      The Base metal-alloy relationship has come in handy in chemistry for me!

  8. "Mistborn Rule #3 - IF WE SAY YOUR PROOF IS WRONG, SHUT UP. WE KNOW MORE THAN YOU"

    1. Puck

      Puck

      really, we could just condense these into "the first rule of Mistborn is: you don't talk about Mistborn (unless you're Eric)"

  9. Yay! We got permission to mirror Brandon's blog!

      w00t! here's to avoiding a lawsuit

      Way to do things in the right order, Rashek. :P

  10. Guys, fixing the Radiant icons on the main navigation is basically the best thing ever. I am so happy. Thanks @Kurkistan :D

    1. manukos

      manukos

      why ? what was the problem ?

    2. Chaos

      Chaos

      The Radiant icon link overflowed their boundary and so hitting links on the breadcrumb was difficult.

  11. Resisting the urge to troll you guys is sometimes really hard. Like now.

    1. Chaos

      Chaos

      RAFO, though you may be able to guess if you look at the news...

    2. Kipper

      Kipper

      I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE FREAKING WORD FILTERS

  12. Finished the thesis. Time to collapse, but woo! I will finally get time to work on some 17th Shard stuff!

    1. Puck

      Puck

      Congrats Chaos! An impressive accomplishment

    2. Chaos

      Chaos

      Thanks man!

  13. I may have had a breakthrough on the nature of Investiture...

    1. Satsuoni

      Satsuoni

      How about sharing it with us?

    2. Puck

      *salivate*

  14. Getting caught up on old threads that I missed is very tedious, to say the least. I've missed a lot...

    1. Tempus

      Tempus

      I'm reading through the 921st of the Stormlight Boards at the moment - I know those feels!

    2. Chaos

      Chaos

      I'm more scared of the Words of Radiance board :P

  15. Suddenly very depressed :(

    1. Kobold King

      Kobold King

      I'm sorry to hear that. :( Anything in particular ailing at you? Anything you want to talk about?

    2. Ookla the Absent

      Ookla the Absent

      I assume he's all better now?

  16. Fun fact: Invision Power Board is the Well of Ascension

    1. KChan

      KChan

      Making the world better also makes it temporarily explode.

  17. Fixed the problem with my male protagonist in my book! :D

    1. KChan

      KChan

      Awesomesauce!

  18. Messed around with .htaccess files. Inadvertently prevented people from viewing the Wiki, though I fixed it now. Most hilariously, I transformed the main page to the ancient splash page.

    1. KChan

      KChan

      Good job, Rashek. ;)

  19. Soon... a new main page...

    1. KChan

      KChan

      Bwahahahahahahahah!

  20. Control Inquisitors, like a boss.

  21. I think I'm more interested in Pokemon Black than Disneyland. This is moderately distressing.

    1. KChan

      KChan

      Today I was more interested in Pokemon Black than going to class. I went to class anyways.

  22. Perfect State is so so very good.

  23. And here I was expecting to go to bed early today...

  24. Reread the end of Hero of Ages, and I totally cried.

    1. FeatherWriter

      FeatherWriter

      It always gets me. Sometimes I cry because it's sad and others because it's so happy.

  25. Done with finals!

    1. ZeldaDad

      Nice job! Mine aren't until next week.
