Tulir he/him Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I would like to announce that every time a read silver, I see the word Sliver, and whenever I write or read the words push and pull, I feel the need to capitalize them. The Cosmere is poisoning my mind! (In a good way ) Edited March 18, 2012 by Tulir 3
Windrunner he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would like to announce that I just had that moment when I needed 162 and I knew it instinctively. And then when I wanted to check it, I just divided the refill period of the Well of Ascension by 4. I think I'm going to have to sign up for CA. (cosmereholics anonomyous) 5
EHyde she/her Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would like to announce that while theories and trying to figure out exactly how the cosmere works is ... not really my thing, I guess, I have decided to make it my solemn duty to at least read the theory threads so I can a)know what people are talking about and b)conduct myself intelligently at signings. 2

Welcome to antitheorism. I should make you an award. 1
Windrunner he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Oh my gosh, that's what happens to me too. Sometimes I'l try to get in on a discussion, but either the opening post is too long, or there are too many math symbols, and my brain just goes, "Aww hell no" and shuts down. That's why I need Around the Cosmere
Shivertongue he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I'd like to announce that I am considering making an Anti-Theorist Award, to be awarded by me alone (seeing as how I am the High Anti-Theorist), to recognize those of us who make no contributions - aside from being funny or completely unhelpful - to the construction of theories.
EHyde she/her Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Ugh. I would also like to announce that aluminum-lined hats are necessary when dealing with certain relatives. 1

FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would like to announce that since posting in French in the Welcome boards, I reaaaaaaallllyy want Fils des Brumes (Mistborn in French). Rawr. The free Amazon chapters are not enough. Any Europeans feel like mailing me a copy? Also, WoK needs to be translated into French nao kthxbai. I am waaaay too obsessed with WoK for there not to be a French version. Le Façon des Rois anyone? Tome 1 de l'Archive de la Lumière d'Orage? Note to self: Don't become a translator. Those French titles are super awkward!

Those French titles are super awkward! Can't help you with the shipping (live in Texas), but I have been wanting to get my hands on some German Sanderson books. I'm in my third year of it in high school and really want to expand my vocabulary over the summer.
Musicspren he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would like to announce that I have ascended to be the sixth Shard (using the new reputation requirements - I think one or two others were Shards before it was changed, so I may actually be the eighth Shard). 1
Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would like to announce that I am terribly ill, and have slept for maybe an hour in the last twenty four, because I keep having to get up to puke. This edition of Too Much Information has been brought to you by Link.

Who is also a Shard and ahead of you?
Musicspren he/him Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Who is also a Shard and ahead of you? This page will give you the top 20 reputation counts; any with a reputation of 128 or higher are Shards (until Zas or Chaos reaches the next level, that is). The current other Shards are Zas, Chaos, KChan, Eerongal, and CrazyRioter. I think FeatherWriter and Silus also were when being a Shard required a reputation of 100.

My Shard status has been revoked???!! Oh no! Now I have to scam more upvotes from people to reclaim my title! Time to start up another pyramid scheme... Where was that Adonalsium Endowment Enterprises form again? Maybe I can just edit it a bit and no one will notice. Hey, it's worked on all my scholarship essays... 2

Time to start up another pyramid scheme... Where was that Adonalsium Endowment Enterprises form again? Maybe I can just edit it a bit and no one will notice. Hey, it's worked on all my scholarship essays... Okay, I just gave you an upvote for Adonalsium Endowment Enterprises, so you are a little bit closer to being a Shard again. Perhaps we should form Reputation Enterprises. All new recruits have to do is upvote the founders' opening posts (those would be our posts), and then the founders would both give each new recruit's first post an upvote (a total of 2). Everyone would benefit...particularly us. Gather enough upvotes and we might could even challenge the Spikocracy currently in power. 3
Tulir he/him Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The Spikocracy (which should be Spikcracy), meaning the staff members and their Hemalurgic pets?
Musicspren he/him Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The Spikocracy (which should be Spikcracy), meaning the staff members and their Hemalurgic pets? Have you tried pronouncing Spikcracy? I grant its more technically correct, but it feels strange to say. And no, I mean the staff members with spikes. Didn't you know that Admins have spikes?
Chaos he/him Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 My Shard status has been revoked???!! Oh no! Now I have to scam more upvotes from people to reclaim my title! Time to start up another pyramid scheme... Where was that Adonalsium Endowment Enterprises form again? Maybe I can just edit it a bit and no one will notice. Hey, it's worked on all my scholarship essays... Sorry. I had to restructure the reputation ranks. The new Shard rank is at 128, and there are higher ranks above that.
Shivertongue he/him Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Gather enough upvotes and we might could even challenge the Spikocracy currently in power. I'm so sorry, but the Spikocracy cannot be challenged by mere "Reputatiamancers". But please do gain as much Rep as you can - the more Rep you have, the more powerful the Hemalurgic charge our new spike will have after we sacrif- I mean, nicely collect membership dues. ^___^
FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 ((It's okay, Chaos. I get it. Besides base 2 kicks butt)) *cough* I mean... THE NONSPIKED BOARD MEMBERS WILL NO LONGER STAND FOR THIS!! INJUSTICES AS EGREGIOUS AS THIS MUST BE RECTIFIED AT ONCE!!! We poor lowly Spikeless will rise against your cruel tyranny through the power of upvote pyramid schemes! You'll try to take us down, but you won't get rid of us. I represent that thing you've never been able downvote away, no matter how hard you try. I am hope! *speared through the chest and downvoted into oblivion by admins* But it's okay. I'll become a martyr for the cause and my awesome protege Musicspren will take my place because he is already more awesome than me and has gotten more reputation in less time. And then he'll take The Lord Ruler Admins down and maybe hold a shard for a bit. Oh wait. Musicspren already is a Shard. Dang it, there goes that plan. 4

Musicspren, you know that admins can arbitrarily adjust Reputation count at will, right? Not that we have, and we don't plan to, but your plan to overthrow the Spikeocracy shall fail
Eerongal he/him Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Musicspren, you know that admins can arbitrarily adjust Reputation count at will, right? Not that we have, and we don't plan to, but your plan to overthrow the Spikeocracy shall fail Because it's just COMPLETELY a coincidence that the top 3 rep spots are held by admins..... [/conspiracy seed plant] 3
Chaos he/him Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Zas was close to me in Rep before being an admin Your conspiracy plot, debunked! Technically though, I have access to the databases, so I am essentially god. I am your god, even if you can't see it. By killing me, you have doomed yourselves... Oh, whoops. That was premature. I only get to say that line when some jerk steals my bracelets and stabs me with a spear. If only I backhanded witty, mentor figures less! 2
Eerongal he/him Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Zas was close to me in Rep before being an admin Your conspiracy plot, debunked! Pfft. What sort of conspiracy theory would it be if it let a little thing like the FACTS stand in the way of my baseless claims?
