DocHoliday he/him Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I wonder if Brandon did that intentionally, if he's screwing with us, if it was totally unintentional, or if in fact there deep clues to the Cosmere hidden in Hoids gibeltish Oh he's screwing with us. Have no doubt. Kinda scary exciting that WoR is less than 60 days away and were STILL uncovering treasures. Makes me wonder what we'll dig up with the first 5 book arc. All hail Brandon Sanderson, May he live long enough to finish the Cosmere ! (RJ *cough cough*) 1

Kurkistan he/him Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I find this new line of conversation to be in poor taste. 2
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 To steer back toward topic...Next question somebody could ask Sanderson is what's Rysn's last name?
DocHoliday he/him Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I find this new line of conversation to be in poor taste. I apologize, my joke was intended to "relieve" the strain of intense c intellectual speculation. Shakespeare believed that to much tension at the wrong time could create a poor reaction from his audience, and or cause the them to draw the wrong conclusion. and I may have taken it to heart: that the 17th Shard may at times need a "clown" from time to time. And on that note... Well this'll strain my memory... I call BS, you Copper Compounder you Nice. I agree this theory is quite well busted. The only remaining slight possibility is that it is composed in part of a name for something we haven't read yet. (Run the program again on words of radiance once it comes out? ) On a slightly more serious note, I have mentioned previously that we'll be digging up left over Easter eggs for some time I think. There have been numerous words that Brandon had invented for the Cosmere. Names especially stand out to me, particularly when we still don't have names for every Surge, Shard, and Holder.
Aether he/him Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I find this new line of conversation to be in poor taste. Yeah, I am not really sure why I brought it up in the first place. *knock on wood*
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry for Debbie-downering there: I wasn't trying to call anyone in particular out, I just wanted to try and head off something I saw as undesirable.
Peng the Just he/him Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 To steer back toward topic... Next question somebody could ask Sanderson is what's Rysn's last name? She might not have one.
DocHoliday he/him Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 She might not have one. I think the penguin might be right. A last name is usually a family name, and the Thaylen appear to have a form of communal family where everyone seems to pitch in to raise or outright adopt individuals. Similar to fostering during the Middle Ages in Europe. 1
Kier he/him Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I also don't find this its talking about Rysn to be reliable. We know Hoid has some way of knowing where to be for some things, but I don't think he would have any knowledge of Rysn.... or her finding a Shardblade. I do think there might be something to this anagram buisness, but I find it much more likely to be Hoid giving clues about shardblades, or about something to do with shardblades. Unless its Brandon just putting something in there for us to find that is cool, I doubt it has anything to do with Rysn.
Bloodfalcon he/him Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 When it was still raging, I decided not to keep up with this thread because, honestly, it would be quite a task to solve what OP was asking. I checked back once in a while to see if there was an update and noticed that someone brilliant had run it through a test. I considered it case closed. I convinced my girlfriend to listen to the WoK audiobook (she has never read it and was overwhelmed by the size of the book) and while she had it on tonight the quote in question came up. As I heard it read, I had a new thought on it that I haven't seen mentioned here yet (though I only skimmed). It sounds to me like Hoid is not talking about the word "balderdash" or that one that has all the f's. It sounds like he was referring to the word "Adonalsium." As though Adonalsium was the subject of conversation, and when Dalinar didn't know of the word, Hoid was saying "never mind, it is gibberish; isn't it funny to make up words?" Either that or he was actually saying that the word Adonalsium is the one that can be broken down into pieces of other words. Maybe it is just the way Michael Kramer reads it, but it sounded just like that. 1
Aether he/him Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Well, the best anagrams for "Adonalsium" that I can find are the following: Animal duos Soda alumni Load Animus A dualism no A dualism on! A load minus Anal sodium A snail do, um Or something. My favourite is the third one. 5

A load minus Anal sodium A snail do, um Or something. My favourite is the third one. I'm tempted to put my money on anal sodium, but was it said to be a direct annogram? I thought he explained it was taking pieces of other words and making a new word? 1

I thought he explained it was taking pieces of other words and making a new word? In an entirely unrelated note, inspired by the idea of anal sodium, can Mistings use metals from suppositories? I apologize everyone. 5
Dros Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 C'mon. He was obviously saying the Cosmeric (?) equivalent of "forgettaboutit". See: Nonsense. Balderdash. forgettaboutit! Hoid's a Yoleni goodfella out to get some thumbs from some deadbeat gamblers (Rayse/Bavadin) who, at the moment, pose quite a quandary because they have no thumbs. Or not. 1

Dros Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Use a Shardblade. Maybe that's why he's on Roshar. Get a Shardblade, get some thumbs. 1
EvilKetchupCow he/him Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 A note about Rysn. Her Babsk Vstim, Became her father when he took her. So it would probally be Vstim's last name we are looking for?
DocHoliday he/him Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 In an entirely unrelated note, inspired by the idea of anal sodium, can Mistings use metals from suppositories? I apologize everyone. ....what has been seen, cannot be unseen. Vin explaining metals to Elend for the first time... Um...I guess? They're not exactly digested, so the important thing would be that it's inside the person... Would Miles be able to burn his Metal-Minds? The slivers not the bracers 2
hoser he/him Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I fixed it for you. C'mon. He was obviously saying the Cosmeric (?) equivalent of "foruggettdaboutit". See: Nonsense. Balderdash. fuggedaboutit! Hoid's a Yoleni goodfella out to get some thumbs from some deadbeat gamblers (Rayse/Bavadin) who, at the moment, pose quite a quandary because they have no thumbs. Or not. Who knew. Strikethrough double "t" makes a weird hashmark. 1
Delightful Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Could he be talking about Rayse and not Rysn? Seems more likely to me. Edited January 14, 2014 by Delightful
Wonko the Sane he/him Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm not nearly as dedicated as the rest of you, so I have little to add. That said, I'd like to point out that while figgldygrak sounds like a nonsense word, gibletish does not. It stands out as out of place, somehow. I'm not completely convinced it's an anagram, but I am dead certain that there is more to that word that meets the eye. So, you know, keep it up.
Popular Post discipleofhoid he/him Posted January 29, 2014 Popular Post Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Ok so this may be a bit out there but pulling apart the sounds in the words nonsense, balderdash and Figgldygrak and stitching them back together I get: "Sh aw r d b l (long A) d s g i f n g R a y s K n o w l e d g " This is phoneticly close to: Shardblades giving Rayse knowledge What you guys think? Could this be the hidden message? Edited January 29, 2014 by discipleofhoid 30
Aether he/him Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Woah! You just blew my mind! That would be awesome!
