When I created my account I did the following: 1. Entered user name to create account. 2. Clicked link in email 3. Entered password in the linked page. It seems you're 'resetting' your password, but in reality you're setting it for the first time (I think). 4. Logged out and logged in again using password. That said, if I were you I'd try step #3 again - just put in your new password. If that doesn't work, I'd try setting up a new account with another email account. Then if that doesn't work, I guess try contacting Weller Books.

1. Create an account here. https://www.wellerbookworks.com/ 2. Go to the RoW link (top of this post). 3. You should see the book's description and an 'add to cart' button at the bottom. I assume if they are sold out, the page would say so and/or the 'add to cart' button wouldn't be there or work. FWIW, I'm logged in and I'm currently seeing this still available...so I figured they're not sold out.

Signing in and out did the trick. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ordered the book! Thanks for monitoring the thread and pointing out the trick that you had to be signed in. I think I would have just been refreshing the next hour.

Hmm. I have an account and I'm signed in...

I was on a few minutes before 10 AM and refreshing frequently from then until now. I think they must be having issues on their (Weller's) side of things. I don't think the link has gone live yet.

@Zas678 Wow. Those five are some dedicated souls. Camping out an entire week!? Especially in below freezing temps? Also, I'm surprised BYU allowed a line to form during the school week when tons of traffic passes by that area. I was thinking the earliest they would let people camp there would be Friday afternoon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok. Transcript is finally here and approved. I've put it in first post of this topic/thread. Enjoy!

@overlordjebus No problem. I have updated my Q&A post from earlier to match the audio transcription. There's further detail to most of the questions I asked, plus one correction to what I heard vs what Brandon said (on the Shadesmar/CR one).

FYI: I just placed a link to the audio from Brandon's spotlight panel yesterday on my first post of this thread. I've also put placeholders there for the WoB's that will be available at some point...hopefully soonish. As soon as we have the green light from Peter, I'll put them up there.

Sorry, all for the confusion. This is a new request from Brandon (having Peter review the Q&A transcript) that we're trying to figure out how to deal with. I'm handing over the baton to the mods and new WoB crew to take care of this as I'm just a newb. But like Argent said, this might be a few days process until the transcript gets posted.

Great! I'm glad I can make some people happy. I'm in the middle of getting the audio from today's signing ready to go, though I probably won't get it up until tomorrow. Plus I'm waiting on the mod's response to how I should handle the audio. To tide you over, as promised, here's my paraphrased answers that he gave to the questions I asked. (Bonus: No RAFOs!) EDIT 9/25: I've edited the answers with the transcribed text directly from the audio. In the battle of the Tower, Eshonai fights Dalinar and when she recognizes him she tries to speak with him, possibly to negotiate. What would have happened if Kaladin hadn't arrived then to 'save' him? A: There's a chance they would have worked it out. Not a really good one... but there's a chance. What information would Hoid have given Vin if Kelsier didn't scare her away from him (Hoid) in HoA? A: So, he would not have revealed terribly much of use to her. He was there trying to find out things for him. What would have the Lord Ruler done with the power at the well if Vin hadn't killed him? Would he have been able to fix the problems he initially caused for Scadrial? A: By that point in the Lord Ruler's life, he probably would not have. He would like the world where it is, and he was not 100% cognizant of how far he had fallen from his original ideals. So, it would not have been, I think, a good thing. It may have been not as bad as the disaster that followed, in fact I know it would not have been, but in the end, Scadrial needed to go through that eventually. So it would have just delayed that. He would have done something with it (the power). Maybe with the Southern Continent or something. But he wouldn't have fixed anything, he probably would have made things a little worse. Can you burn a metal wrapped in another metal if both are allomantic metals? example, If I got a ball of bronze and wrapped it or coated it in steel, could I burn the bronze? What about a non-allomantic metal? A: No, you're gonna have to work your way through the outer one. It's gonna depend on how thick it is, and stuff. But I would say, if you wrap it in a non-Allomantic metal, that's not good for getting to the metal. It's viable, but it just depends on how thick it is, and things like that. Like, sometimes things have been plated to keep the access to the metal off, but usually you would want to do that in aluminum, to make sure. What happens when a Reshi Island dies? What do they people do? What happens to the corpse? What happens to the gemheart? A.So, it becomes that big old shell, and eventually... shells, they last a long time, but people are gonna move off of it.And, yes, people will try to get the gemheart. How does the cognitive realm seemingly have it's own flora and fauna? A. You'll see, there's actual... there's an actual ecosystem in Shadesmar.Yeah. Well, think about it this way. The places people are thinking about will create landscape that this stuff can grow on. Where they're not thinking about it, there's just not going to be anything there, so nothing is going to grow. Note: Apologies for this one, I had posted what I *thought* I heard Brandon say (which was "the places people aren't thinking of will create a landscape"). Thank goodness for audio.

Got in and was able to ask my questions. Regarding the transcriptions he said that he just wants to start looping Peter in on these to just verify that he's not giving bogus answers. He mentioned he thought he was inaccurate on an answer he gave last night,but couldn't remember the answer. As far as my questions, I don't think there were any groundbreaking answers, but I thought they were interesting. I'll give more detail when I have time after the con. I'll turn the audio files back to being available now that I know there wasn't anything super secret that he let slip.

Yeah. The more I'm thinking about it I wonder if he was talking about the audio recorded last night rather than future recordings. I wonder if he said something he wished he hadn't last night. I'm in line now for the signing and will clarify with him. In other news I'm a little worried I might miss him again before they kick him out as I believe Dan Wells needs the booth after. I had to lose my place in line as to go drop off my phone to record.

As I just put down the recorder for the second signing, Brandon asked that the transcription (when done) be sent to @PeterAhlstrom ...so he can review/edit it for anything inaccurate or too spoilerly I assume. For now, just to make sure I'm following proper protocol I've disabled public access to that Google Drive link. Once I get the go-ahead I'll make it available again. Peter: What's the MO with this type of thing? Can I make the audio available? Or just limit it to a few? Any other tips? Thanks!
