Guest Somebody from Scadrial Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) When reading some stuff on the Arcanum I discovered some issues when it came to tense especially when paraphrased but also when not so I was wondering is this bothering anyone else and if someone could we just start correcting these and/or clarifying in footnotes?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) He said he wasn't going to answer questions about fortune, that the MAG shouldn't be taken as gospel on this point (I don't remember how it works there and didn't mention it, he brought it up on his own) and that he's planning something different than we might be thinking, for how that mechanic will function. Arcanum Unbounded San Francisco signing (Nov. 30, 2016) Weltall (paraphrased) I asked if Nazh's knife didn't glow to Kelsier's eyes because the metal wasn't from Scadrial generally or whether it was a metal with some particular property. Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) RAFO. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/33/#e2752 Edited September 27, 2020 by Somebody from Roshar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 That is in line with the paraphrased reports, and we are not comfortable altering them. The original phrasing from the reporter could matter. We sometimes may correct clear terminology errors, but I don't think adjusting this is necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that's what I thought and if I literally can't understand something I'll try to get a second opinion but if my second opinion can't either I'll post on this thread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weltall Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Since those were my comments... the reason the tenses are like that is because I was writing it as an after the fact report; I didn't record his exact responses and I didn't want to put words in his mouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on how you worded it. I think your instinct is absolutely right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
