SOM1else he/him Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 So I just checked my email and saw that Brandon was going to be doing a book signing this week, I thought that I would post the information about it up here so that anyone who would be able to go knows about it. Signing Details:Barnes & Noble, West Jordan, UT Date: Thursday, 12.15.11 Time: 6:30 pm-8:30 pm Place: Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Jordan Landing Address: 7157 Plaza Center Drive West Jordan, UT 84084 Phone: (801) 282-1324 Barnes & Noble, Orem, UT Date: Saturday, 12.17.11 Time: 2:00 pm-4:00 pm Place: Barnes & Noble Booksellers - University Crossings Plaza Address: 330 E University Parkway Orem, UT 84058 Phone: (801) 229-1611 I'll sign any of my books that you bring, but it's nice to support the store hosting the event by buying at least one book (it doesn't have to be one of mine!) while you're there. And if there's a large crowd, I'll probably limit personalizations to three books each time through the line. Check out my calendar to see if there's another signing that will be more convenient for you.
Windrunner he/him Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) If anyone is at a loss for questions to ask him (but I think its impossible that any 17th Sharder wouldn't have a boatload of questions) here are a few good Alloy ones that I would ask Brandon. They don't spoil the story and are relevant to current discussions. What is different about Allomantic Snapping now that Sazed has changed it? Are chromium and nicrosil known to any of the inhabitants of Scadrial? Do the people of Alloy of Law have any form of electronic communication? (telegraph, phone etc.) If not, Why? If you've got your own questions that you like better, no worries, I'm sure they're great too Edit: Ignore question three, Peter just more or less answered it. Small area of significant population density combined with a minimal understanding of electricity have created a society where the need for long distance communication is less necessary.

Kurkistan he/him Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 It's drifted towards the back of people's minds lately, but what exactly does Atium store and why did the Lord Ruler spend time aged in his Terris Hut, given that he could have simply kept re-compounding his initial investment of age?
Aradel he/him Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Should've looked at this thread before going to the WJ signing, we only asked a couple of those. Quick summary before someone put's up the whole Q+A list. Q: Telegraphs? A: They have coinshot messengers,so are slow to develop those technologies. They have not been invented as of AoL. Q:New Snapping? A: RAFO Q: Is Demoux "Thinker" from the purelake scene? A: Demoux is one of the three.
SOM1else he/him Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 Q: Is Demoux "Thinker" from the purelake scene?A: Demoux is one of the three. So dead people can worldhop?
CrazyRioter she/her Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 he obviously got a spike for feruuchemical atium and then started Compounding like whoa. Or at least that's the only explanation I can think of, beyond the obvious "MAGIC!"
Zas678 he/him Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I've always thought that it has to do with the fact that travelling cross planets using FTL technology makes you age really slow. (Think about the sequels to Ender's Game). Even if it is using Shadesmar.
CrazyRioter she/her Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 well we know Hoid can skip forward in time (but he's also lived more years then a normal person could), so I guess that's possible, but since we have no idea how it works.....
SOM1else he/him Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Nope, I asked him at the signing and it's none of the answers. Demoux didn't die in HoA, I feel like an idiot now...
