Don't worry Julie Burchill. We'll send Remington with a fully loaded rifle and Nighthound's weakness right away.

By "Funniest, cleverest, and most touching new book," the critic is referring to the part about stroking the backs of people's necks while laughing maniacally.

Sounds like just the sort of lazy yet creepy solution Nighthound would come up with. And yes, I'm pretty sure Lightwards could raise them. As long as they were technically living things at one point, and no one else is mentally controlling them, I don't think he'd run into any issues.

All in a day's work, citizen. * tips hat *

I can't do anything about the ranks themselves, but you're now an Awakened Object. Also, there's a lame pun raccoon on "Let Fly Thy Red Arrows."

Agreed. And I'm looking forward to seeing a Voidgaze-Funtimes reunion. Also, we're now ponifying 17th Shard staff, apparently.

Task complete. I present to you, the Grand Spiked One, Lord Ruler of the Forum Itself, Chaos.

I think it's about time for Funtimes to return to Portland as well. I can't think of anything else to do at the cottage.

You mean Percy, Peter, and Penelope?

You posted fiction? Links?

I guess he's just Jeff now?

I have to disagree there (and not just for personal reasons). There are a lot of jokes and ponies, but if you take the time to read through "What Happened in Oregon" you'll find pretty cool stories intertwined with one another. The line between the Pony Epics and the Fanfic Writers is more blurred than you would imagine at first glance. Denizens of the Question jointly create an intricate Steelheart fanfiction, and celebrate the collaborative effort by hanging out and generally having a fun time together. So yeah. Words like "earned" are kind of tricky to throw around in this context. Every upvote represents a single person whose day was made brighter by a post. There isn't a measure to show how much brighter--but do we really want to get into a posturing match over who makes the forum the happiest place?

In spoiler tags just to be on the safe side. In the end, all I can conclude is that it's still over three and a half months until Firefight comes out.

Pulling attention from the real point of the matter, were you?

Stare into the face of the True Desolation. Actually, those beady red eyes fit surprisingly well with what we're told Voidbringers look like. And mobile plants are found in great abundance across Roshar... (I get this thread's almost a year old, but I can only laugh so hard at something without having to post as well. )

You know, we can have pretty deep discussions when we're not posting ponies all day. I believe that legally speaking, an insane individual is not considered accountable for his or her crimes. Considering the confirmed corrupting effect that has been observed, I believe that Epics could legally be considered insane. It really boils down to whether they have any control over their actions. Are they really the same people once they receive their powers, or are their powers analogous to mind-altering variables in real life, such as drugs? Honestly though, we could devote an entire thread to this and we might not come to a conclusion until The Great Sanderson publishes the final novels.

And any movie is a feel-good comedy with a Soother in the house.

If you suddenly neutralized Calamity's effect on an Epic's mind, would they in all cases revert to their pre-Calamity personalities? Or would the experience have corrupted the inherent essence of their beings? How much free will does an Epic have--can they be held responsible for their actions just like a normal human, or do their special circumstances mandate special consideration for their crimes? I swear, if I had a TARDIS...

I get that that's (probably) a joke, but it does raise a question... If Mobius built herself a space shuttle and used her powers to move it around the cosmos, how far could she go from Calamity? If she left the solar system completely, would her powers fail because she left its range? Are the powers inherent within her now, so that she no longer requires constant Calamity radiation to keep them functional? What would happen if she teleported to the surface of Calamity itself? We really need that third book in the Reckoners series.

Heck, a completely unbridled Nighthound could just about hold his own in the Halloween RP. TwiLyght, I know I keep asking this sort of thing, but do you still have a Remington pony code?

Right. Edited my Epics of Oregon post to include a compilation of pony creation and accessory codes. Not sure if anyone will ever use them, but they're there if anybody needs them.

Spoilers for the song: I might make a comic of it later, since I have both the Mobius code and too much time on my hands. And if anypony has a need for them, I can post a compilation of my Epic codes.

At one point I planned a "Project September" named after that video. It's awesome, in a creepy sort of way.

I just realized that long before it was announced, TwiLyght suggested a PMV that is the perfect theme song for Calamityville: Nightmare Night. It's perfect in so many ways, describing both Mobius and the theme of the RP. They're not just nightmares no more, so buckle down and get set.
