bartbug Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hey guys! Greetings to all sharders on the west coast! I'm just curious to see who else is going to the signing at 6 in San Francisco. I know I'm going, and it's going to be cool! Second signing for me, but the first was Steelheart, so it doesn't really count. So, what are your thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eveorjoy Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If I didn't have a One year old who I'm still Breastfeeding I would go. But family first. I'll try to catch his tour for Firefight, Shadows of Self, or Stormlight 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiManiak Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I was looking forward to the signing for WoR as I've only been to the AMoL signing at Borderlands last year. And then when the dates came out, I got bummed. That is the week that I'm out of town on business and I get a double whammy: I'm traveling when WoR is released (fortunately, I'm doing the ebook thing); and I'll be on the other side of the country when the book tour hits near home. Hope you have a great time, bartbug! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I will. (In all honesty, a small, evil part of me was hoping that I'd be the only Sharder going so when I got all of the info from the signing, I'd be able to farm upvotes. Actually, I'm feeling kind of pressured by the signing, because I'm going to need to read WoR fast so I can get all of the questions from there. Well, not like that's hard. ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaroth85 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 First time poster... I'm from Sacramento and will be driving in for the event. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wow, that's an incredible amount of driving. Me, it's only forty five minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnaMai Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'll be there! For the Q&A, I've been thinking about creating a Google Doc or something to better organize the questions we would like to ask. Also to be a single place for Sharders to see recently asked and answered questions (so they don't ask the same one twice). The "Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon" thread has become large and the answers are spread across Theoryland, individual threads, etc. Thoughts? Is there already a place for this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) The Ultimate List is made up solely of questions which are unanswered, though it has been a few weeks since it was last updated. If you'd like to create a more manageable document detailing questions you would particularly like to ask at the SF signing, that would be fine. EDIT: Also, I wish I could be at the signing. I have a number of events in San Francisco the weeks around the signing, but nothing that day. Plus there's school. Maybe next time...

anaroth85 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I would love to be able to help out with asking questions, so if we do make a document I'll do what I can 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I dont know of this is already on a list, but can someone please ask what the (working?) Title of Stormlight 3 is, since it's apparently changed from 'Stones Unhallowed'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Question Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm definitely going and driving in from Sacramento as well. In fact, if any other Sharders from Sac want to road trip and save some gas, we could work something out.I have a short list of questions that I intend to ask: 1. During the Final Empire Era, had anyone on Scadrial, particularly Sazed, Tindwyl, or Elend, read The Way of Kings? 2. Was Sazed familiar with Vorinism? If so, what would he have thought about it? 3. Was Adonalsium Shattered on the Shattered Plains of Roshar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Adonalsium Shattered on the Shattered Plains of Roshar? I'm 99% sure Adonalsium was shattered in Yolen. It might be better to ask if Honour was shattered on the Plains. How would you expect people of Scadrial to have read a Rosharan book? Do you have a basis for that very interesting question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Question Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Re: Adonalsium. I figured it might be worth an ask. Although I agree that it's more likely that Honour was Shattered there, I got a hunch that it might be where Adonalsium was Shattered. Beyond an interpretation of a few recent WoB, I think it's worth a go. Re: Way Of Kings and Scadrial. Tindwyl has read many books about leaders and on the subject of leadership. It seems plausible that a worldhopper brought over a copy from Roshar at some point. I admit that there might not be much of a canonical basis, but these are things that I've wondered for sometime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorridgeBrick Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is there something important beneath the Purelake where the water drains to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Question Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Would anyone going to the San Francisco signing at 6pm be interested in grabbing a bite before or after the signing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 About Tindwyl - there is apparently a Terris worldhopper somewhere, so that is more plausible than I originally thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaroth85 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 The question I was thinking about asking was something like, how much does your worlds share in regards to language? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamzin Ashevai Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I so wish I could attend this signing! (I have to work. Boo. ) For the past few years, I've counted on Brandon's book-signings in the greater San Jose area of my region in CA and have attended every signing here. I was bummed to learn that there would not be a WoR signing in my region. Anyway, I realize I haven't been around in a very long while, but I delightedly enjoyed virtually 10 hours today clicking and reading back and forth from the Coppermind Wiki and the TWoK re-read on tor.com. I'm 12 chapters into my re-read of TWoK and very much look forward to WoR. Do I purchase the ebook or do I wait for the volume? I remain conflicted. I like having the volume in my hands but the ebook is so much easier to read while I'm working out on the elliptical! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Question: would cutting Navani's Pain Knife with a shardblade and then repairing the metal exactly result in a working Pain Knife? Would cutting the ReGrowth fabrial from Dalinar's vision with a Shardblade then repairing the metal exactly impair it's function? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 The question I was thinking about asking was something like, how much does your worlds share in regards to language? Brandon has said that there is no universal language but since the Shards all have a shared origin there are certain linguistic commonalities (i.e. shash being the name of a letter on Nalthis and a glyph on Roshar). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaroth85 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Oh nm on that question then I'll have to think of another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I have a few questions that for sure I will try and ask: 1.In hemalurgy, when the Spike is pounded through Marsh's eyes, what immediately happens to ensure his survival? 2. Allomancers are Allomancers because, among other things, they have more Innate Preservation than other Scadrians. By this token, why are Feruchemists Feruchemists? 3.Does aluminum have an atium shadow? Does anything not have an atium shadow? 4. If you make an aluminum box, and put a steel bar in said box, can you push on the steel? 5. Does aluminum react differently to time bubbles? 6. Is the bubble of deadened air created by a smoker similar to the one created by a bendalloy or cadmium misting? How does the range for a Seeker work? 7. In the Alloy of Law era, is the extra Ruinous energy that Sazed has given to the koloss to grant them sentience? 8. If you gathered enough investiture in a Spike, could you create a metal with similar effects to Lerasium? 9. How much Investiture does Nalthis have compared to Scadrial and Roshar? 10. Could Shardplate function as a space suit? 11. Are the moons of Roshar significant in the story of the SA? 12. If you take a Scadrian mistwraith, give him his blessings that were created from some Arelish people, could he become an Elantrian? 13. If you make a mistwraith born in Arelon, could he become an Elantrian? 14. If Kelsier's force ghost went to the Forests of Hell, would he manifest as a shade? 15. If a Seon went to the Forests of Hell, would he manifest as a shade? 16. Could a spren be formed from a mass-delusion? 17. Are there "mobspren"? 18. Who's your favorite original Shardholder? 19. Are the frequencies and/or intensities of Highstorms affected by the lunar cycle? 20. How did Kelsier know it would take 300 years for the atium to reform? That's all for right now. Whew, that's a lot. Edited March 1, 2014 by bartbug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamzin Ashevai Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've been fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to attend several BS book-signings in my region in recent years. Unfortunately, I have to work during the evening he'll be speaking and signing in San Francisco on 3/6/14. I'll be holding my copy of WoR close to me until I can see him again in my region during the Reckoners/Rhythmatist sequels! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teccam Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I really want to make it for this. I've never been to a signing for Brandon before, and I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to come up with a suitably useful question for him. The other issue is, I already have a signed copy coming in the mail, and I know it's bad form not to buy a book at a signing. So then do I just buy a second copy? Man, I really don't want to miss this despite my reservations. Maybe I'll see some of you there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 You can get a different book of his to sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
