Popular Post Mistrunner Posted May 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Speak again the hallowed oaths: Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. This guild is for those of us who will pledge our allegiance to the cause of... well... being awkward. Our best friends are fictional characters. We stay up late at night, watching the comforting blue glow of our various devices as we look up obscure things on The Coppermind. We read and reread books for traces of Hoid and various awesomeness. The Knights Awkward must rise again. The orders are as follows (spoiler tags for length) Referencecaller I will read all Brandon, even if it is not Cosmere I will remember WoB's that have been forgotten I will link to all my sources, even if they are obscure Theoryweavers I will speculate even if there is nothing to speculate upon I will ask the questions which have not been asked I will connect that which has not been connected Oregonbreakers I will not fail to recognize the Reconerverse in spite of the Cosmere I will ask the Question in order to answer it I will attempt to kill Nighthound so long as he lives Alleywatcher I will offer cookies to those who have not been spiked initiated I will sustain the knowledge of Hemalurgy because it is fun I will seek to avoid being avoided in dark alleys Forumlurker I will read that which has not been read I will stay silent amongst many words I will enjoy without being upvoted Spambringer I will B Ł Â Ç K M A G ï C love charm? marriage problems?

Popular Post Brightness Random she/her Posted May 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 With a flourish, Brightness Random entered and knelt before mistrunner. "M'lady, I ask your permission to join this guild. I am already confident in my ability to live the first oath: Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world.

July Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Hhm... I am fairly sure that Granny Hoid would not mind if I joined. (Bowing before Mistrunner) May I Phoenix become a Knight Awkward? Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays.

Mistrunner Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 "I am Mistrunner. The Knights Awkward would like an alliance, as long as we don't have to attend any meetings. We have books to read, as you know." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 "If I remember correctly, she is the leader of the Pack of the Cosmere.

July Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I have a question, do any of you fellow Knights Awkward wear aluminum foil hats and when your friends ask you if you are a government conspirator you say, "No, I am protecting myself from emotional allomancy"? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairos he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The door opens, and a green-eyed youth strolls in. "Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. I will make fun of the unmakefunable. May I enlist in the orders of Awkwardness to better pursue the refining waters of annoyance?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 To further show my allegiance to the Knights Awkward I shall say the words of my order (I have an electronic, soft cover, and hardcover of almost all of Brandon's books) I will convert those who are not I will convince those without to buy two copies I will loan my extras to anyone without 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Mistrunner replies, "You may join, as long as you keep your annoying jokes away from those of us reading. However, I doubt that will deter you Quipsmiths." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 As a Knight Awkward do I have any special awkward surges? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Conversion: The surge of converting. Makes others more willing to listen to the speaker Relcussion: The surge of relcuting.

Mistrunner Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 As a Knight Awkward do I have any special awkward surges? The Surge of staying up until 3:00 AM reading Sanderson novels. The Surge of reading in general. The Surge of Theorizing. ... and many more we do not know of yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) The door to the hall opened with a nearly silent squeak, and Kipper slipped in.

Voidus Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Voidus entered the new guildhall, carefully he examined his options.Feeling too stifled by any one order, he cloned himself twice then spiked the orders of Oregonbreakers and Theoryweavers out of his clones."As may have been obvious, I am an Alleywatcher, and now something more. I shall be more awkward by far than has ever been imagined! I shall stay up til 6am and sleep during hours I should be studying so that I may consume more of the glorious cosmere, I shall forgo all friendship excepting those forged on the forums I shall be very very awkward!!!!"Voidus paused briefly, his new spikes leaking blood over his clothes."So um.... can I join?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bort he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) The door slammed open, to many whispered cries of "Shshshshsh!" In shuffled a... book? It was a huge tome, covered in dust, but bearing an image of a spear wielding Radiant on the front. As the book shuffled towards Mistrunner's throne (comfortable reading chair), it became more obvious that there were stubby little fingers holding onto the book. When it stopped in front of Mistrunner, the book lowered itself to the floor, and a pair of thick, heavy, spectacles appeared from behind it, attached to a small head sprouting mad white hair in many directions. The head disappeared behind the book, and an arm came our from behind the left side, disappearing again as the head reappeared. Did whatever that was just bow? It was impossible to tell when he was behind the book. A wavering voice spoke from behind the book. "I am Bortholemew the Blind, and I am here to join the Knights Awkward, if you will have me. I am a Forumlurker, and I have spoken the first two oaths. Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. I will read that which has not been read."

Kipper he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Forget that, I don't have time for RP right now. Well, I would join the Knights Awkward, because I do like to join Guilds, but unfortunately for your guild membership, I'm the most charismatic and friendly person I know. Can't be helped. Perhaps I can join as the Knights Awkward/Dark Alley liason? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elithanathile he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) A young man in tattered yellow robes, looking as though he hasn't washed them in months, and wearing a look of aged idiocy walks into the newly furnished grand hall of the Knights Awkward. He bobs his head in a sort of greeting, and opens his mouth. "I did done do these now. Cans I joinings? Bokks are goot. I haz kitty. Whats are we talkings? I iz awkwords." He takes your dazed silence as agreement, and leaves to look for the attic, so he can Leap Of Faith off into a wagon of hay. The knights awkward have risen again. And they should really screen their members more carefully. Edited May 22, 2015 by Bridge Boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I will read that which has not been read I will stay silent amongst many words I will enjoy without being upvoted *Bows* May I have the privilege of joining this noble order? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
