Welcome to "Peter Sayeth," a new feature on 17th Shard where we talk about what Peter Ahlstrom, awesome person and Brandon's assistant, teases on social media. We totally don't stalk him. That would be silly and creepy. Ahem. This month Peter has talked about a lot of goodies, one of which is delightfully trolly about The Bands of Mourning's ending. Gah, we want it right now. Send your angry letters of this knowledge to [REDACTED]. Did you forget that Alcatraz 5 was a thing? It is, and is clearly on the horizon: Maybe it's time for you to reread Alcatraz! (Or wait for their rereleases.) Next up, the White Sand comic: Remember that White Sand is a cosmere graphic novel. It was originally one of Brandon's earliest works. I need this right now. Peter is also very happy with how the Shadows of Self ebook turned out, and the images look good. Great to hear! Then, lastly, Peter yesterday began The Bands of Mourning copyedit. We've yet to get Shadows, and yet Bands is just on the horizon! As you can see, we are getting a ton of Brandon Sanderson goodies in the next year. This is going to be awesome. -
Hmmm, where's my banhammer? Oh there it is! slkfhg;soenahreubvjk

Doesn't it? Unrelated: I am changing the title of this thread because having that misspelled "discussion" as "discution" hurts me inside.

How's it going Alaxel? I see you're back. I thought we had banned you at least three times now.
-
Um, it's about the same length. I'd have to look at word counts.

Strategy to stop spambots (from another forum)
Chaos replied to Twenty@20's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
Hey Sera,Thanks for the awesome analysis. We've created more strict, comprehension-based Q&A's that should be resistant to botting. There are a number of permutations, too, so the answers are different. I looked at the old Q&As, and yeah, they sucked, especially considering how bots can just Google things. We'll see how many spammers we get (and how many report emails I get :/) but it should be good. Check them out sometime. (Yes, I kind of stole your general format, haha.) -
That's exactly why it is done
-
But then you don't get the fun of discovering it yourself, and thus defeating the entire point
-
Maybe... hard to get the relative powers right...
-
To be fair, there's just more people on 17S now. If Brandon posted now, he would get a lot of upvotes.
-
By the gods, those posts have a ton of upvotes. Redacted, so many.
-
Seems legit.
-
So many trolls in Shadows of Self. And 17th Shard
-
...So how would you like to know about the Shadows of Self review I am currently writing?
-
Guys, you don't understand, it is incredible. It's hilarious to listen to it narrated verbatim, and it's even better when you replace the swearing with "REDACTED". So fun to narrate. I have him break it out on Skype sometimes. It really kills at parties. (Our parties are kind of boring.)
-
There is a lot of the book left, trust me
-
That was a moment of top efficiency. He and I knew of it immediately and we both had responses, and then banned almost instantly. It was glorious.
-
I am basically a god (here, at least. No one should give me divine power elsewhere.)
-
He said something particularly offensive and then when called out about it he said "it's just the internet." As if that was an excuse to being a jerk. Then Josh sent a stern PM to him about respecting others, to which Zucchini replied, with a response that was extremely profanity-laced. He was instantly banned. Pro tip: when someone calls you out on respecting others and you swear at them like a thirteen year old, you might be an chull. That means it is time for you to rethink the actions you've done in life and be a less awful person. Hilariously, this person was actually a middle-aged lawyer and not a dumb sixteen year old, as one may have assumed. Well, either hilarious or extremely depressing.
-
He hit that limit a long time ago. Creating new rep levels is tedious and does take effort. Gotta get the relative powers right and such.

Is anyone working on an 'Assassination of Gavilar' page?
Chaos replied to Young Bard's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
This is a fantastic idea for an article. I am not aware of this being in the works. Please do start it! -
Yeah, don't worry about that
-
This is judging from desktop. The mobile versions even on the new site will not have sigs on posts, as vertical space is even more precious there.
-
Yes! An excellent idea!
-
I'd rather just err on the side of caution. What if the response was "I liked it but [iNSERT OTHER THOUGHTS HERE]". That's spoilery.
