These Stupid Ranks

[Steel he/him]

Stormfather! I'll just think of the Ardents helping with Fabrials.

[Redbird he/him]

*facepalm* of course, that half breed.

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

Hmm... I'm a (Panda) archbishop in the Steel Ministry... interesting... Looks like they sure have loosened the entry requirements. 

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Well, Im pretty high, thanks to certain Epics.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

And I'm pretty higher, Thanks to Certain Epochs.

An Epoch is a Long Story, or Post in this Case.

[Quiver he/him]

So don't get me wrong: what I'm about to say is by no means a deal breaker. But what is Enefel? I was looking at the rep list, saw that it was the next one I could get and...

 

Well, I'll be frank. I'm not quite sure what American Football has to do with the cosmere. Explanations please.

 

(For the record, Midnight Essence? That is ]i]so[/i] going to change my picture to Luna in one form or another.)

From the Coppermind:

In modern usage Aon Ene has come to mean intelligence in a general sort of way. Scholars note however that originally it referred to cleverness or the ability to out-wit and out-think an opponent. It was a symbol that was often used to refer to trickster figures, which were called "Enefel," literally "Wit Killers" or those who kill with wit. During the Middle Era a group of storytellers, who took the name Enefel, began spreading stories of the wonders of Elantris. Some believe the Enefel were agents of the Elantrians who sought to expand their influence and quell the suspicion the rural populace felt towards them. Overtime this group of storytellers developed into a group of scholars that collected stories and histories. By the Late Era several distinct groups of scholars and philosophers had emerged. Aon Ene's association with these groups prompted the expansion of its meaning. ^[5]

 

^{Don't people ever read the Coppermind?}

Elantris. My old foe.

 

Funnily enough, I do use the coppermind, but it's usually only to double-check stuff from the books I've already read... meaning the entire Sel-portion of the site has been untouched by me. My inabaility to finish Elantris is really starting to impede my ability to do things...

Ah well. Thanks Joe!

I have stayed at Spren and Darkeyes. Every time I get a point up someone demotes me. I tick off and please equal number of people, I guess.

Give it a bit more time, rep can take a while to creep up

[RawToast225 he/him]

Yeah, probably.

[Delightful]

Can I just say, for some reason, that smiley face suddenly looks *really* happy to me. Which is cool
 

[Kobold King he/him]

I wish my name were Harold, 'cuz then I would be Harold the Herald.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Um, what rhymes with Radiant Squire?

"Squire, squire, pants on fire"...?

[Redbird he/him]

I lead a crew! but who is my crew?

[18th Shard he/him]

Um... street thiefs?

 

I can see all you coming. I am a forescout. Hmm... these ranks organization seems kind of random.

[mail-mi he/him]

I'm a Vanisher! FEAR ME MORTALS!

[Redbird he/him]

Obviously, anyone specific though?

[Redbird he/him]

And now i'm a complete jerk to skaa, also I could be an allomancer.

[Unhinged he/him]

My favorite--and totally coincidental, I swear--person's rank is Peter, at the rank of Rambleman. Okay, it wasn't entirely coincidental, but once I happened to assign Rambleman to that place and I noticed Peter there... well, I couldn't resist. I'm so sorry. Kind of.

 

Oh the irony.

 

Edit: On a more personal note what does Grand mean? I've read every Cosmere book except Elantris and TES and I've never come across something like that... that I can remember anyway.

They're the ruling authorities in TES.

I AM CONTENT WITH MY LOT. THIS RANK PLEASES THE KOBOLD KING.
