was reading through this WoB and noted a few items. It's not complete, but it's all I have time for right now

#15

Fixed. I believe the last correction you have (Its instead of It's) was actually fine in the original. He's saying "I did something wrong in this book. It's lack of proper foreshadowing", meaning "I did something wrong in this book. It is lack of proper foreshadowing" (e.g. the thing he did wrong was the lack of proper foreshadowing). That was confusing to type, but hopefully that makes sense.

Hi, signed up just for a super minor correction/addition.

Questioner

Probably by Wit. If I could *inaudible*

After listening to the audio clip, I'm 99% sure he's saying:

Questioner

Probably by Wit. Heh, I'm not gonna ask you for spoilers about that.

 

Edit: BTW, is there a tag for "inaudible"? Feel like it'd be useful to be able to search for possible improve-able posts.

The original is:

Quote

Questioner

Her name, Lift, is it really like 'lift', the sound, or is it translated from Rosharan, like the word lift?

Brandon Sanderson

It is translated from Rosharan.

Questioner

Is it a name?

Brandon Sanderson

So, I'll RAFO that. But that is actually, it's whatever in Rosharan...not in Rosh...in Reshi, whatever in Reshi...and Reshi is the Iriali language family, so...

Somehow, highlighting is eluding me. But I’m fairly sure from the audio that when the questioner says “Is it a name?” it should be “Is it a nickname?”

This needs some help

In Mistborn the original, what kind of music were you thinking, at the ball, was that just like European chamber music?

Yeah, I think he's saying "I'm not going to ask for spoilers, but...". Fixed that. You check the "needs attention" tag (found here) for some other ones that have inaudible parts, if you feel like trying to decipher them.

I believe "on context" should be "no context" - there's no audio or anything to double check however

Fixed.

I have some audio from the San Francisco’s Borderlands signing. Unfortunately my phone died, so I’m missing some.

 

Also, I asked him to answer in my book ‘who made the Highstorms’ and he said ‘Adonalsium did’

SF_signing.mp3

You can upload this directly: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/173-oathbringer-san-francisco-signing/ 

In the future let's put new audio in the event thread, not buried in this corrections thread :D However, thank you!

the 'Sources' part in all of them says "dgeni8's report - 117th Shard"

I'm pretty sure it suppose to be "17th Shard", but maybe there are 100 more forums like this running somewhere, I don't know...

Got it, thanks.

Original WoB: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/107-orem-signing-2014/#e1376

Zas678: And my other question is about Taravangian. It becomes clear that when he’s smart, he’s less compassionate, and when he’s dumb, he’s more compassionate.

Brandon: Yeah, he mentions that in his interlude.

Zas678: Is that intentional, or is that just how you believe inteligence works?

Brandon: No, that’s intentional. There’s plenty of really smart people who are also compassionate, and dumb people who aren’t.

Zas678: So when Taravangian is smart, his Cognitive aspect is stronger. So when he’s dumb, is his Spiritual aspect stronger?

Brandon: [With a sly grin, pulls out a RAFO]

 

I think linking in footnote would be right method. At least thats what Pagerunner and Chaos said :D

The 2nd snippet of the audio file I posted here https://wob.coppermind.net/events/174-oathbringer-portland-signing/ clarifies this. It actually counters what Zas speculates. The audio hasn't been transcribed into WoB's yet but hope this helps.

Tried to find this WoB and then I realised it was missing. Here you go:

Quote

Most genetic differences between skaa and noble were exaggerated, even fabricated, by noble culture as justification for their perceived superiority. Height differences due to nutrition, 'intelligence' due to education and societal expectations, fertility due to common factors in urbanization. The LR did try some minor tinkering, to be played out over time through genetics, but in the end these changes weren't very successful.

 

edit: While I'm at it, I also found an entry lacking the Brandon Sanderson title before the answer: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/100/#e3622

So I was looking at the Arcanum today, just for fun to see my own questions - and I saw one where it says "Questioner," but I know it was me - #103 in the Boskone 54.  Any chance of ..um, correctly attributing it?

Quote

Questioner

In the reading you did today, at the very end [Gurv] was saying “I have an order from someone.” Is that someone part of some secret society? Because there’s a bunch of secret societies.

Brandon Sanderson

Well, that is definitely going to be a big RAFO, because I haven’t even released the book yet. Let’s not spoil books that aren’t even out yet from readings I did. But I rarely put in an interlude that doesn’t have some tangential relationship, even if it’s just some stuff like letting you know who the Aimians are or things like that.

Grr.. I was editing this - then it moved. So #'s 105, 107, 109 and #110 are also me. I double-checked by listening to my own voice. :)

@yulerule Done.

@Aurimus_ Deleted dup and added tag (also try to avoid double-posting, please)

@yurisses Added to relevant entry: it was a second comment thread.

@StrikerEZ Transcribed.

@ShadowSgt I transcribed the relevant snippet and pointed the footnote at it, though non-staff won't be able to see it just yet.

You can click on the entry number and copy its URL (or right click on the number and select the copy option from your browser's dropdown) for reference - unlike Theoryland the entries in Arcanum have absolute IDs, so even if they move around within the event their ID will remain the same. So it's safe to refer to them by ID/URL.

Transcript has every line twice.

 

edit:

@skaa I don't want to spam so here's another one with double lines: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/9-calamity-philadelphia-signing/#e7457
 

In this thread I think I would not discourage double-posting - makes it less likely that we'll miss something.
