WayneSpren Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Across the 17th Shard I have met many people giving out Hemalurgic-spiked cookies. None of us give the new people healthy, non-Ruination cookies. None but myself, WayneSpren.* To combat this evil trend, I have created a new group. It is called the Light Alley. Here, we do not give Hemalurgic spikes, but metalminds! They are so much more helpful and do not enable you to be controlled by Ati. Come forth, denizens of the Light Alley! -- *Well, one time Gargoyle helped me. But that's beside the point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RippleGylf Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I will gladly join the Light Alley. May everyone receive cookies without spikes! (Just a side note, what use are metalminds to non-feruchemists?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just a side note, what use are metalminds to non-feruchemists?) They're excellent souvenirs, cool to look at, and you can sell them for scrap!

Lindel Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm all for giving out spike-free cookies, but isn't it rather wasteful to go to all that trouble filling a metalmind just to throw it away? We might as well be giving them mundane jewelry and bracers. It's not like the Investiture matters to the recipient, they wouldn't even know the difference! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to fill it, just give it away. All the Ferrings among us will appreciate it, at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Bard Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I see. Would the Anti-Bakery League be on this alley, perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 The Gunsmoke Barony fully endorses the light alley and will provide doughnuts as a welcome gift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatebreaker Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ah, you people are so entertaining. This will go the path of the previous Light Alley, and the Antibakery before them. You will struggle valiantly, but in time you will fade. And we will be there waiting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Join The Dark Alley, we have investiture you can actually use. A better sales pitch would be to give away free breaths or maybe Lerasium beads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippleGylf Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 We could give out cupcakes with complimentary spheres! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneSpren Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Great Ideas! We now give out a vast array of items, including Metalminds, Sticks, Spheres, and Lerasium! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Winter appeared in a flash of a ghostly Aon Tia. She leaned against a wall, breathing heavily. Then she slapped her face and tapped cadmium. Her breath returned to normal. "So." Winter said. "Just so you know, us having a common enemy doesn't mean I'm on your side." She sighed. "Count me in. What intel have you guys gathered? I have some notes I could share." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostrichofevil Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 WHAT IS THIS! First the Anti-Bakery and now a "Light Alley?" What is this forum coming to? What is the point of an Alley without Spikes? Spikes are vastly superior to Metalminds, for the following reasons: Spikes can be used by anyone, while Metalminds can only be used by Feruchemists. There's no point in giving out Metalminds, because only their creator can use them. Spikes cause Shardic influence. (Yes, this is a benefit.) Spikes can transfer many more abilities and traits than Feruchemy can. Quinoa. Note that when ranked in order of importance, those reasons are [5, 2, 1, 3, 4]. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 "Yes, I just love murdering people. Well, actually, I don't care about the death. It's just the people who survive." Winter shrugged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter shrugged. You don't need to murder people; you can just Ruin their Spiritweb, then use various methods to heal them afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 We only steal the abilities of people who misuse them. At least I do, Im not sure about the rest of the Denizens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
