Germany reporting for duty

[Shadom]

Long time fan of Sandersons novels from Germany (I read the first Mistborn book and Elantris in German, the rest in English)

I must have read every Cosmere book and a few others. I am not so deep in the worldbuilding as you guys but I have been lurking and absorbing your WoB-knowledge and theories as best as I could.

I am eager to learn more and give my crazy theories to you

Welcome to the shard fellow german. Where in Germany are you from?

Also have some cookies

[Shadom]

Grew up a bit more in the north, but I am living in Cologne right now

Thanks for the cookies... should watch my weight though.

[Samaldin he/him]

Don´t be surprised if you start hearing voices, the amount of metal could have been a bit high in the cookies^^

A friend of mine is studying in Cologne, i´m from Bavaria (Nuremberg).

Hello, Shadom! You should visit the theories section <-- You'll find a lot of crazy yet amazing stuff there. Have your first second upvote! And welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the Shard Shadom! For some reason I cannot give any upvotes to you because I'm not "authorised to give any upvotes to this user", thoughts @Chaos?

EDIT: It seems to have gone away, however I still think you should know of any glitches

What voices do you... I mean I hear no.. Okay but I ... Well if you think so. To be honest... why not. Yeah let's burn the house down. A nice Ruin would look better here.

What do the upvotes do?

If we give them to Brandon, does he write faster?

An upvote (and the dreaded downvote) are the Shard's system of player reputation. The more upvotes you get, the better your reputation title (the gold writing below your name) gets. You can give 16 upvotes per day and 2 downvotes per day, although most users rarely give downvotes and do so only if someone is being a troll. You can determine a user's total upvotes from their profile page.

TL;DR: Upvotes mean you're awesome. Upvote posts you find awesome. Downvote any trolls.

What happens if you like your reputation title and don't want it to change?  Some of them are awesome.   Spren is cooler than Skaa.  Can I tell people not to give me votes?

You can do that, but I'd recommend against it. Spren might be cooler than Skaa, but get enough and you can get some much better titles, like Crew Leader, House Lord, Highprince, or even really high stuff like Shard.

I recommend making screenshots to keep around as your badges of honor.
