Innovation Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) There there are so many advantages to each one... I’ll just list the ones I think I would rather have. (Not listed in any particular order) Gold: can help in life-threatening situations. I’m not often in those, however, and I don’t really want to be extremely sick for a time even slightly sick all day doesn’t sound great Zinc: spend some time doing something mindless and then spend some time being smart and thinking fast? Sounds great! Copper: I’d never forget a thing. Except those things I want to forget... I can stuff those in a coppermind and bury it far away. Steel: I’d love to have a nice little speed boost. It doesn’t even have to be like 5X speed or something, just a little extra would be great. But storing it... that would be terrible. Maybe while I read or something I don’t necessarily have to move fast? Brass: could keep me warm when I want to be and cold when I want to be. Very convenient. Bronze: I could be a lot more productive if I didn’t have to sleep some nights. And in the morning I could be completely awake. Very useful. Pewter: a good little strength boost would be nice once in a while. Bemdalloy: if I want to eat extra, I can if I store in a bendalloymind. And if I’m hungry I can tap into that excess. Duralumin: I could be basically invisible to everyone if I wanted to be, or very persuasive if I wanted to be. Many applications. Iron: losing some weight to move a bit faster would be like what I’m looking for in steel, except without having to store anything. Tin: I don’t have to see/feel/hear/smell/taste what I don’t want to, but if I do I can see/feel/hear/smell/taste better. Honorable mention: cadmium. I’m not a swimmer, but if I was and I had this that would be awesome. Edited October 22, 2020 by Innovation

Hoid the Former Drifter he/him Posted October 30, 2020 Author Posted October 30, 2020 oops... what wasn't included then?
NameIess Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I would love bronze, falling asleep whenever I want to is absolutely awesome, gold is also super useful, for obvious reasons, but I think the one I would go with would be copper. Studying for a test? Just stare at a page for five seconds and boom, studying done.

Infinity Sliver Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 i forget can you fill a metalmind while asleep?
Hoid the Former Drifter he/him Posted October 30, 2020 Author Posted October 30, 2020 no except for storing wakefulness
Chanarach Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Pewter would be fun. Probably copper though. My mom died in June and I feel like it's all slipping away.
Aspiring Writer Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Brass. Of all the metals, it has the least consequence. When you want to sleep, you can store your wakefulness and fall into a coma and once you wake up you can tap all that wakefulness and be fully energized instantly. Is that genius or what?
Koloss17 She/They Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) . F-tin. Most versatile metal, hands down. I could store hearing or smell or taste or touch if I don’t want to sense something. I can store pain to not get hurt by something. I can be the most balanced human on the block when I tap my sense of balance. I can tap taste to make a bland thing taste really strong. I could even tap pain for when I’m having something spicy to make it more spicy! I will never get snuck up apon again with enhanced hearing, sight, and feeling (air feels, like airbenders and their bald heads do). I will never get lost because I can tap my sense of direction to know exactly where I am.

In my defense, sleep has always been an issue for me, so being able to control that is appealing compared to the versatility of tin. 1

Stormtide_Leviathan Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 @Koloss17 How do I join the tin cult?
Raphaborn Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 F-Tin is really good. You store and tapping the senses individually and you can use them to enhance or protect your senses depending on the circumstance. It must be incredible for meditation.

One more thing to add to reasons why tin is good!
bridge7 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Tin (there are many times where enhanced senses would be great, and many times when you wonder why we have a sense of smell) or bendalloy(literally easiest diet ever )
Skaromas he/him Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Bendalloy, because I could just eat a lot and not get fat. Edited November 7, 2020 by Skaromas 2

StormFather! Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Easily bronze. My sleep schedule is so awful. Second would be steel, and then cadmium or tin. Also, do cadmium ferrings get cadmium poisoning? Because that would be bad. 1
Weltall Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I'd find F-Copper to be the most useful in day to day life followed by F-Zinc and wouldn't mind either, but for purely recreational use I'd find F-Cadmium to be a lot of fun. I like diving and no breathing means no need for a large air tank, no risk of nitrogen narcosis or the bends, no decompression and a bottom time limited only by how full the metalmind is (and temperature). Storing does sound kind of sucky and I imagine it would take a good while to get enough breath to last a dive, but the advantages outweigh that. Edited November 18, 2020 by Weltall
EvenCaktus he/him Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Bendalloy because theoretically you could save up nutrients/energy for a fight or long run for example and then you would easily have more stamina than your opponent.

You'd need to be a subsumer and a cadmium gasper to get true stamina from nothing, otherwise your muscles would eat themselves too much. You wouldn't get tired, but your lungs would probably be dying and your muscles would rusting hurt Edited December 9, 2020 by bridge7
