+Whysper Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hello, my name is Whysper. I'm a fan of Brandon Sanderson's books, particularly the Mistborn series. I'm currently reading The Way of Kings and really liking this new series. The main reason I signed up for this site was that I heard about the Sanderson Elimination games. I've recently gotten into playing Forum Mafia and I got the impression that these games were in that category or very similar. So I'm trying to find out more about them and see about signing up for a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_Fox Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hello Whysper I hope you can tell by this really tiny font here that I'm trying to whisper and keep it really quiet so I can fit with the name... Lol, Welcome to the Shard! So happy to have you here! If you're a fan of Sanderson you have definitely came to the right place! As for The Way of Kings, man you are in for a ride! Hope you enjoy that series to the utmost degree (and maybe even are caught up in time for RoW???). If you are all through with the Mistborn series I'm sure you would enjoy looking through that section of the forum and chatting it up. Would wait on entering any Stormlight Archive sections until you catch up there tho (unless you love spoilers, you do you!) What aspect of either series makes it your favorite? Ooh and I'm sure someone will be by to let you know all about Sanderson Elimination soonish! The most I can give you is that yes it exists and yes it is based off of Forum Mafia. Also a link to the Q & A section for it . Welcome again to the Shard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Whysper Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Aww man, I lost my first reply because it got flagged as newcomer spam since I quoted a link. Hope I can remember what I was saying the first time. 45 minutes ago, Scout_Fox said: Hello Whysper I hope you can tell by this really tiny font here that I'm trying to whisper and keep it really quiet so I can fit with the name... Haha, I almost skipped reading this. Never had anyone use the tiny font on me, but I deserve it with my name. 49 minutes ago, Scout_Fox said: As for The Way of Kings, man you are in for a ride! Hope you enjoy that series to the utmost degree (and maybe even are caught up in time for RoW???). Yeah, I'm definitely enjoying it. I can see where it might even be better than Mistborn as I've heard a number of other people say. 50 minutes ago, Scout_Fox said: What aspect of either series makes it your favorite? Well, actually Mistborn was my first series, and the only one until I recently decided to give the Stormlight Archives a try. I love the worldbuilding and the detailed mechanism for allomancy. 51 minutes ago, Scout_Fox said: Ooh and I'm sure someone will be by to let you know all about Sanderson Elimination soonish!

I'll review the forum and look for how to sign up for a game. And thanks so much for the warm welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiring Writer Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 @Whysper Thx for the rep points. here's one for you. I recommend checking out the creator's corner. We Sanderson fans like to flex our creative muscles in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof yeah you have a little anti-spam regulation on you when you first join. Should be gone soon tho! Lol tiny font can often get lost in the message. Glad you found the yoke tho much gooders Ah yeah totally! A core feature of all of Brandon's work is most definitely the expansive worldbuilding and detailed magic systems. And if you liked that about Mistborn you are gonna love SA! Oh and totally lol I don't know too much about Sanderson Elimination but I'll ping a few people who do @Experience + @Matrim's Dice. I'm sure they can give a much more comprehensive explanation if you don't already get one from someone else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently two games running, but the signups for a new game should start in a week or so. I can tag you if you want? Here's the link to it: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/62-sanderson-elimination/. I am currently running a game.

The spec chat is done through a doc? Like a Google Doc? Interesting. The other site I play on uses another private thread. But yeah, if you could include me in the spec chat, that would be great. That might help me see how things are done here. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had to bring over the right people for the job lol. Thanks you two! Hope the next game is lots of fun as well Whysper! Oh and one last step before you can be officially fully welcomed, someone has to make you feel really good inside by telling you did something wrong ! Lol, no biggie but the mods discourage double posting. If you have something new editing your last post is the best. You can also tap the plus button next to "quote" on multiple people's posts to quote them all at once. Gargantuan posts ftw!

Are you referring to the 2 posts in a row where I first replied to Emi about TWoK and then to Experience about Sanderson Elimination? I would think they should remain two separate posts because they are replying to two separate people about two separate topics. In any case, if multi-topic multi-reply posts are preferred to keep down the number of posts, I will try to keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played for about 2-3 months (4 games) on Forum of Lies.

Do you mean a specific character from one of Sanderson's books? Hmmmm, good question. I would expect people have already done games with nobles, Mistings, and Mistborn. Seems like there could be some interesting roles and abilities, with Mistborn being the secret PRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it totally makes more sense to me as well but that's how the prefer it. I would think it might have to do with how they are detecting spambots (as in an instance of 4 or more posts in a row would pop up a notification so they could take a look) and so they just encourage everyone to put it all in one. I'm sure it also helps keep post count down which is probably useful as well. Yeah, no biggie just something to keep in mind.
