Chaos

Welcome, Yeash! Engineer? Ew, you have to build things. I'll stay in my realm of mathematics and theoretical physics, thanks. If you can ramble more than my theories do, well, you can a virtual cookie, that's for sure.

Hi aSplinter! Good to have you here. I'm glad you enjoyed the Way of Kings! If you're looking for something to go from there, I highly recommend Mistborn, as its my favorite of his novels. Plus, it has that epic feel, and you can read all three of the books right now.

Hi Kurt! Lookit me, I'm always fashionably late on the introduction threads. But, regardless, I'm excited for you being here! We definitely need more authors on the wiki. I'm pleased with it, and in the process of me writing articles for the Mistborn RP, it's extremely helpful, but it needs serious improvement.

Hi Andrea! Good to have you here. You wouldn't by chance happen to be Darth_Andrea on Twitter? Probably not, but I did read through a lot of Brandon's tweets today, so I thought I'd ask.

Hi, Tamzin! Good to have you here. Don't feel bad, we're kind of crazy about spotting things like that

I'm pretty awesome, but I don't know if I'm that awesome.

Intuitively, I don't feel that "Sliver" holds much greater power than "Splinters". That doesn't seem quite right.

You're Hoid, that's for sure. Either way, I'm the Lord Ruler here, so nyah.

I don't think the letter was addressed to Sazed. Though, that brings up another question: why isn't Odium paying attention to Sazed?

For all you know, Zas, there is a cosmere related rationalization behind it, too

And rightfully so, if Adonalsium was Shattered at its ending.

Eh, no need for rampant topic merging, I should think, especially as I look at this, I see a very key distinction--the Shaod--which isn't really addressed in the other topic, trendkill. I don't have any answer for you, DariusJenai. That would require knowing what sort of mechanism causes the Shaod. Some have theorized that it's similar to Snapping in some regard, but as far as I know, that's as far as the theories go. Brandon's really quiet on divulging information about Elantris. Way of Kings gave us extra information, but there are a lot of questions that still need answering. I'd sure like to know what causes the Shaod...

I choose to create my own side, where we eat a lot of ice cream. Everyone is welcome to join.

I picked the name Chaos because it sounded cool. This was, oh, way back in junior high, so it isn't exactly full of inherent meaning. I've been using this username for quite a long time. If you Google the name, chances are likely that it's me. Except on Skype, where someone already had it. The numbers are also random (though I really like the number two, so that's not a coincidence). Funny thing that my philosophy is directly contrary to my username. So short answer, no, it wasn't intentional, though it does quite amuse me

To answer your question: Hey, the wiki is coming in handy!

In case you didn't know, Brandon tweeted that the Alcatraz movie option has not been renewed.

I would like to announce that I'm pretty sure everyone here is a dork/geek/nerd. Also, yay dead spambots! What did you do with their corpses? I banned them, obviously

I think you guys are missing the point. Sazed knew those things already. The annotation implies there are things Sazed didn't know as to why Vin was picked.

I would like to announce that the spambots are dead now. It's kind of surprising how much more susceptible SMF is to bots compared with, say, IF. I guess I've been too used to IF... If only we had the cash for Invision Power Board 3.

Wow, Honor is Dead. That's brilliant.

Actually, that wasn't a subtle hint. You can talk about Dragonsteel all you want, unless Peter says otherwise It's a personal choice for me, that's all.

I would highly doubt it. There's no evidence to suggest this, and I'm sure Vin or Sazed when they held the power would be able to sense if there had been other visitors.

Applicable quote, from http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/355/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Seventy-Nine : There's clearly more than meets the eye here, so the question stands. Does one need to be special to hold a Shard?

There's a dragon in the prologue of Dragonsteel. It's really obvious. Interesting take on Frost, though, that I didn't think of before. Of course, I tend to be pretty tight-lipped on any unpublished works I've read...

Here's an esoteric question for all of you: when did Luthadel expand from the Old Wall to its present borders? You can see where the Old Wall was by looking at Old Wall Street circling it. Anyone know if it was stated anywhere?
