    Good work making me laugh.
  2. Kurkistan
    My sentiments as well.

    It appears that he's doesn't recall my own suspicions on the matter. Is it unreasonable for us to expect him to remember every answer and RAFO for years running? ... Probably not. :|

    I thought Sadeas's colors were green?
  5. Kurkistan
    Topics merged.
  6. Kurkistan
    Generally we try to avoid necroing threads from half a decade ago.
  7. Kurkistan
    That sounds incorrect.
  8. Kurkistan
    Cool question and thanks for posting the answer.
  9. Kurkistan
    Yup, that's the one. Thanks. It looks like I was using just about every wrong search term I could: copper, Feruchemy/ist, "partial". :/
  10. Kurkistan
    I recall a WoB that it's possible to use Feruchemical copper to store "partial" memories: so you'd store say half of a memory and still have a fuzzy recollection of it, with the coppermind containing the other half. Can't find it now, though. :/

    Yeah, Feruchemical gold can heal shardblade wounds. Assuming that you an active line of healing is good enough to keep you going even if your spine gets severed (which I would guess is likely, given the (physically) traumatic stuff Miles goes through), then TLR should be able to heal no matter what. There is the long-term soul-scarring issue, but eh. More concerningly TLR really isn't a good candidate for a Versus match, since at the top of his game he simply wins. Functionally infinite Feruchemical steel alone is probably enough to one-shot essentially anyone without some special immunity, not to mention literally everything else TLR can do.

    Feel free to leave the timestamps in: they don't hurt anything and can be helpful if someone in the future wants to be 100% sure of tone and the Google Doc is down/slow/the person (read: me) is lazy.

    Brandon has a few things to say about Cadsuane; not many of them positive (and the positive one sounds like a bit of appeasement to me ). This one about sums it up, I think: So far as writing her well: Source: ---- Jasnah is an interesting comparison to make; thanks, I hadn't thought of that before. Now that I think of it, Jasnah seems like a Cadsuane-type character done right. Cadsuane comes off as a bully; if I had to sum it up in one word I would say that Jasnah's never petty, while I couldn't say the same of Cadsuane.* *Let the Cadsuane hate/love wars begin (but actually please no, sorry if this is derailing).

    Well at the least the part about Honorblades being less efficient for normal people is from WoR. -A fair bit of discussion on efficiency follows after that post (that's what the thread is about after all), but with no firm conclusion.
  15. Kurkistan
    Heavily implied, at least. When Davis goes into the Photographer's house he has this to say about his uncle: The victims who were poisoned were "extremely farsighted", so presumably he used the same method on them.
  16. Kurkistan
    Maybe? We have a WoB on bubbles and aluminum but it's confusing/paraphrased.

    I liked it well enough. One interesting thing that happened was my understanding of Chaz's character taking some interesting twists and turns around Ingred street. Chaz was the one who brought it up as a destination both times before they went there. At first it sounded like it was a bar or something that Chaz wanted to waste time at, buoyed by Davis's internal "of course you want to go to Ingred". Then we found out that it was where Davis's son was, and I was all like "aw Chaz is suggesting this for Davis's sake". Then the twist happens...

    If you desperately need something singable he'll sign your e-reader or the like, also.

    The art from Arcanum Unbounded might prove helpful in getting the feel right.

    An interesting thought. It relies on some unknown interactions regarding how frames of reference work, though. If, for instance, you could finagle it so that your cadmium bubble shares say the moon's some random asteroids frame of reference once it's created, then I could see a scenario where the bubble (I believe this would work with either time of time bubble) would be yanked off in the direction of that object and pull the ship along for the ride. That'd be quite a feat of finagling, though. @Weltall I'm not 100% sure gravity is completely a thing for time bubbles, or at least that it's not scaled to match the bubbles compression rate. So if you had a 1/10 cadmium bubble then I could see the objects within falling at ~1m/s^2. Also recall that time bubble occupancy is a completely on/off thing: there's no such thing as "parts" of the ship being not affected by the bubble. If that were the case than calculus would take over and everything would explode. -- Sources: Have a thread.

    It was just one at a time. Source:

    Aaaand this is a good time to chime in with the classic "keep politics out of the boards" message.
  23. Kurkistan
    Not me, I don't believe. I tended to shy away form speculation about mechallomancy because it was such an unknown.
  24. Kurkistan
    Yes. Cadmium hermit can time-capsule self:

    Regarding the first question, I believe there's a point in Shadows of Self where Wax uses his Allomantic steel to assess whether something is a spike.
