    He looks like he is about to go Super Saiyan.

    Bort replied to Kobold King's topic in General Discussion

    That just gives off some very wrong images. I'm also a cat person, and a bird person, which means I can indulge in one or the other. It isn't very often cats and budgies from two different households will get along with each other when they move in together, so when my budgies die, I'll be getting a cat then. At the moment though, I have Bobby, a mostly white budgie with vivid blue bits, and Yoda, a green one.

    It's Brandon Sanderson. There is always another secret...

    Excellent. Another one down

    We weren't on track for a null vote Meta. Jaelre has enough votes to be lynched.

    Nice. I like Singleir's accent. It's distinctive without being unreadable. Scottish, perhaps? I'll also agree with MrGinger128. I'd like to know more about the library.

    Briar King, I understand how you feel about the Star Wars EU dump. Personally, I feel sorry for all those writers that contributed to the EU. I bought Star Wars: Rebellion yesterday from gog.com. And today, I intend to buy TIE Fighter. Both are great games that I have been hoping Lucasarts would update for modern operating systems. And now, Disney has done just that. I could also be tempted to pick up the Dark Forces series. I already own them, but only for older systems. Having versions designed to run on Windows 7/8 would be good. LeftInch, if you've not got it yet, buy Dark Forces. That's the first part in the Jedi Knight series of games, and it costs pennies on Steam. You're also missing Jedi Outcast, which comes before Academy.

    Cylkan! Good to see you up and about again. Buy you a drink to celebrate? "Please update this list as more of our numbers fall. The Undeceased: 1. Temai Nimiad (Nicroburst) 2.

Eolhondras is in the deceased list due to the mistakes that originally put Dowanx there. Aonar/Newan, can either of you please confirm this is correct? Also, I agree with starting the cycle when the last of the PMs have been sent out. Not only does it mean the GMs have to rush less, but it also puts everyone on an equal footing, instead of having some people waiting for most of the cycle to find out if their actions had been successful. My vote for today's cycle is going to Jaelre. There have been several questions raised about him, both in the main threads and also in PMs, so I think it is about time we discovered if what we're hearing is true.

    Pressing on with the geekiness. Voyager is slightly more than half of the size of the Enterprise D. 344m compared to 642m. Ship comparison chart The vast difference in crew complement is from a couple of different things. Ship system advances in the dozen or years between the Galaxy and Intrepid class ships coming out will be the main reason. Also, Voyager doesn't carry families, diplomats, and so on.

    My guess would be he's taking a look at Elantris to see why it is broken.

    Have we found another Spiked?

    He's in Warbreaker. Or rather, I should have said, he is Vasher in Warbreaker, and he is Zahel in Words of Radiance.
  14. Bort
    The only first editions I have are a US version of Way of Kings, and a UK edition of Words of Radiance. The rest of my Sanderson collection are all paperback. Actually, this isn't entirely true. I also have first edition hardbacks of books 12 and 14 of the Wheel of Time. I'll be seeing Brandon when he comes to Nottingham this October, so will have my Stormlight Archive books with me for signing.

    Starting in the mushroom farms, notices began to appear on the wall, complete with a small ink pot and pen, hanging from a piece of string crafted from local mushroom vine. They read: "Please update this list as more of our numbers fall. The Undeceased: 1. Temai Nimiad (Nicroburst) 2. Karlin (Surgebound Rainspren) 3. Bortington-Smythe (Bort) 4.

Jode (The Only Joe)" Eolhondras is in the deceased list due to the mistakes that originally put Dowanx there. Aonar/Newan, can either of you please confirm this is correct? Finally, posted to Rolan's gravestone was another message... "There once was a man named Rolan Generally his RP was stormin' But when push came to shove That's all that we loved Only the spiked in this village are mournin'" Villagers, I cannot take credit for Rolan's gravestone rhyme. It comes from one of my allies who shall remain nameless for their own protection.

    I know. I'm going to miss that plane, although I did like their insertion trick, pretending to be debris.

    Farcry 2 was pretty good, and LA Noise was like GTA, but not as much fun. Mostly because they actually expected you to drive safely. I heard good things about Mercs 2, but never played it. I'm kinda alternating my time between Shadowrun Returns and Sunless Sea.
  18. Bort
    Sorry Rolan. We will surely miss your headstones.
  19. Bort
    I'm changing nothing. I'm happy with where my vote is.
  20. Bort
    Just to clarify, I was referring to my own vote that cycle being wasted, not Alvron's. I have no idea what happened to his, but as there were two voters, but only only vote, I can guess.
  21. Bort
    I was hoping to have my action report before joining in the conversation here, but it still hasn't arrived. My vote this cycle is for Alvron. A few of us have suspicions about him and decided the village may be better off without his headstones.

    Throughout both books, but more so early on, Syl is a very curious creature. I think she just sort of wanders off to see what else is happening in the warcamps.

    When on Twitter, someone named BelovedVin adds you to a mailing list, and you think 'Rust, Scadrial has Twitter now???'

    When you see a little insect climbing the wall and you count it's legs and think 'Cremling!!!'

    Anime Style Test - Kaladin
    Not a huge fan of Anime, but this is one of the best fan pieces of Kaladin I've seen. All it needs is Syl hovering around.
