You Know You're Addicted To 17th Shard When...

[Yata he/him]

you know you are addicted to 17th Shard when your girlfriend tell you to wait a lot because she have to prepare to exit....End this doesn't bother you because you browser the Shard in the meanwhile

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

You know your addicted to the 17th shard when, after ONE HOUR of not having your phone, you literally start screaming into your pillow, writing witch-Chant in your hidden journal, and hearing voices whispering about what is happening on the shard... Or when you start feeling a physical pain at the lack of shardi...ness? I honestly got some withdrawal symptoms over the weekend, including: hot and cold flashes, tiredness, insomnia, and physical aching. I think I need to see someone for help.

Respected Sir,

I am Eccentric Hero and I would like to help you in your eccentric case. For this, I will need more more information.

Please give me your best and honest response.

What were you writing? (Aons/ Steel alphabet / Glyphs /Alethi woman's script / Other: Please describe.)

Please tell me more about the voices. Do you think it was a Shardic influence? Perhaps, it was Kelsier? More detail would help us narrow our search.

Have you ever accepted a cookie? This may give us some leads. (Perhaps, you received a defective/contaminated cookie.)

 

I assure you that I want the best for you. I need you to trust me so that I can better help you.

Sincerely,

Your Fellow Sharder and well-wisher,

Eccentric Hero

Gracious sir,

I gladly accept your help and pray that you discover what ails me.

You see:

The writing wasn't shardic, or runic, or anglosaxon. It wasn't Egyptian or Greek, or German, or Slovakian, or Mesopotamian, or free-mason, or even short-hand. The s looked like a five ontop of a c, the t's were upside down, nothing was as it was in English. If you need a more extensive guide, I'll take a picture.

The voices are, were, whispers, barely heard suggestions, like someone from a distance trying to whisper something to you, and you can just barely hear what they say, only more like hundreds of people doing what I just described at the same time. These things happen in dreams. (And real life... Sometimes.) 

I would have accepted a cookie, if the issue had been pushed, but after it had been mentioned, and the warning 'don't' response had been given, I don't think it was brought up again, so cookies aren't involved.

Any ideas or theories yet? (... Am I just completely mad?)

your hopeful, and quite grateful, new acquaintance,

-ShadowLord_Lith

When you finally come back and upvote every post you read.

@ShadowLord_Lith, dw about your case, it's normal, happens to all of us whenever we aren't on the Shard. 

Right?

When the thing you look forward to most about the weekend is having the time to read more of the Reckoners RPG and meme about it.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

When you giggle in pleasure at the sight of 59 or even 2 new notifications that appeared overnight.

When you type in "1" into the search bar and it automatically redirects you to 17th Shard

Please teach me how! PLEASE!

Also, when you wake up and realize that you were only dreaming about the shard and, strangely enough, orange colored, potassium filled, battle rubber-ducks, complete with laser squeakers, and unnaturally Loud: low-pitch base-cannons*.

*I mean literal base cannons.

But who hasn't had that dream, right?

You know you're addicted when you cannot remember nor fathom how you spent your free time before finding 17th Shard.
