SOM1else

Ok I just saw the Alloy of Law synopsis and It looks like the main character has the same iron+steel/iron combo I would have choosen, only he wouldn't be able to burn his metalminds for extra power.

Copper, penny in my pocket used as a coppermind= straight A's for the rest of my life in school, I still would have to study of course but just long enough to store it so I can recall it on the homework/tests. unless I was a Iron/Steel misting also because then I would want to be an Iron chemist so I could store weight, burn my storages, store the result of that, repeat two or three times, then use all of that wieght to push/pull anything regardless of wieght.

Yeah the lord ruler was what I was thinking when I posted it but I think it can also apply to Elend after he's deposed in book 2. I've never heard Real Gone before so I googled the lyrics as I listened to it and these two sections were the ones that I could connect something to - Well first off I thought Kelsier, the perpetuating prophecy sounds like it could be Sazed preaching his religions. Hmm.. I think I'm gonna have to go with Kell on this one it just seems like him with his plan to overthrow the final empire and his rumours of the 11th metal. I wanna see if anyone can make a connection to This song.

So I got the idea for this from mugglecast, what they do is every so often they will play a song on their podcast and each person will make a harry potter connection to that song. Instead of Harry Potter we would be making a connection to any of Brandon Sanderson's books. after someone makes a connection they post up a link to the next song and people make connections to that one. I'll start of by doing the song "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay because I have a good idea of what people will connect to it.

So with a bunch of us playing the new Pokemon games I thought that we should have a thread to post our friend codes in. My friend code is 3310-3856-2944

I would like to announce that after 28 hours of playtime I am now the Unova Region Champion!

Five minutes ago I "beat" Pokemon White (and I'm using that term loosely, no one ever can truly beat a pokemon game)

The problem with this is that each metal has a somewhat set amount of power, you can flare your metals and get more power out of them but that causes it to burn faster, if someone flared all of their pewter away and someone else kept it on a slow burn and they both had the same amount of allomantic skill/power they would each get the same amount of power from their pewter, person A would get it in a big dose for a really short time and person B would get it in a much smaller dose for a long spread out time. In my understanding duralumin just takes the time it takes to flare your metals away down to mere seconds no matter how much of them that you have, unless it really a wild card and gives massive amounts of whatever power you happen to be using all that would be accomplished by a nicro battery would be that the already short time you have to flare your metals with the original nicro affect is that you would have less time to use them, you would get more power but not have the time to use it- Oh got a big idea here, if you slowed time down then you would get massive amounts of power, if each additional nicro unit only halfed the time you burn your metals away in you would theoretically double the amount of power you would have to draw from them, it would be down to millionths of a second but you would have insane amounts of power, only a mistborn or a well coordinated team of misting could use this trick, it could end up being the Duralumin+Atium of the second trilogy

I love playing the sith planet, I always make my guy go from good to evil on korriban.

I can't for the life of me remember her name but is Cett's daughter really his daughter? Skaa have to have allomancy in the past 6 generations to get allomancy and Cett says that she is the first person in their family to get allomancy for centuries.

Got White at midnight on Saturday oddly I was the youngest person at the store but the game is amazing.

I just choose Balance because the word is referenced so much in HoA Ruin tells Vin that the balance will drive her insane and "feruchemy is the power of balance".

Yeah but if Adonalsium was originally one entity then wouldnt that be "bad" to? I think that the number 16 is the number of shards and that the shards "govern" the universe. Also I have an Idea on how Adonalsium shattered. Atium and Lerasium are the Body/Power of a god because the body and power are interchangeable. We also know that Adonalsium was at one time whole and that it is not any longer. we also know that there weren't always minds attached to the powers that they hold. What I think is that long ago (around the time of Dragonsteel) humanity discovered a source of God-Like power, someone figures out how to harness this power and uses it however by using it they break the natural balance of power and to restore that balance part of the power splits because it needs to be used but isn't and cant use it self now that someone is controlling the power this causes the power to split into several shards that each work according to their own nature but have no mindf to controll them. this creates a dangourous situation and certain individuals take the power of the seperate shards but are unable to controll them as they once were able to because of the specificity of their natures. Also on another note I think I figured out what Sazed now has for a shard. I think he now holds the Balance shard and is unable to use one power without using equal ammounts of the other power. This leads me to believe that the letter in WoK was written to him from hoid "He holds the most frightening and terrible of all the Shards. Ponder on that for a time, you old reptile, and tell me if your insistence on nonintervention holds firm. Because I assure you, Rayse will not be similarly inhibited." Sazed would be very wary of using his powers because if he cant justify using more of one than the other than he couldnt use them. Hoid needs Sazed to see Imbalance between the "Good" shards and the "Bad" shards (I'm using those terms very loosely) because if Sazed sees Imbalance he can take a side to use his powers for. this could work both ways though, if Rayse and Bavadin convinced him the good guys were winning he would have to help the bad guys.

From Brandon's website. Some are already out but I was to lazy to edit them.

I was thinking of chapter 55

Yes, but if I remember correctly Sazed said that the minds weren't originally attached to the powers that they held and he had no idea how they got there,I wonder if thats how it originally shattered, People found this magical source of power and started to use it and broke the balance that it held and it got torn to pieces

This isn't really redshift related but you guys seem like you would know the answer to this question, would the effects of cadmium/bendalloy compress? for example if your burning bendalloy and in the AoE someone else burns it also then would time be the same as if just one person was burning it or would it be doubled or would it be an exponential increase in the passage of time.

Well Sazed said when he took the shards that they belonged together and he had no idea how they ever came apart so I dont think they are going to be pulling him apart mentally/psychologically

Thanks I saw I could change my display name, I wanted to change it from Som1else to SOM1else, because that is what I originally intended it to be but instead it went to som1else, is there a way to fix this? I saw I could change it up to three times but I dont want to waste them to see if it works

A few questions 1) Can we still quote people while we are writing a post or do we have to choose to quote them before we start? 2) Is there any way for us to change the times it displays so we see our own time zones? 3) How did you make the new forums so amazing?

Split after Adonalsium has been restored or before he becomes v2.0?

Depending on how far west then the highstorms could still be linked to him, if you go far enough west your gonna end up in the east after all.

I have had this same theory for a long long time, I think it occurred to me once I found out what Adonalsium was. The only thing different from your theort to mine is that I don't think that Hoid was a Destroyer/Betrayer of Adonalsium, all of the evidence we have points to him being a good guy. I kinda talked about how I thought Sazed was going to gather up all of the Shards and become Adonalsium 2.0 in my "Nature of Odium's Shard" thread, My theory was Odium is killing shardholders and taking a corrupted version of there power and Sazed was going to go and collect the unaltered power that was left behind and there would be an Anti-Adonalsium and a Adonalsium 2.0 and that there would be an epic battle between them that would determine the fate of the cosmere. I didnt convince a lot of people (I don't think anyone actually) a lot of people don't think you can take a shard if you already have one and that Sazed was able to get two of them by "cheating" and taking them at the same time. This led me to believe that until your shard changes your personality from what it was to whatever shard you hold you would be able to take more then one shard, and once you have multiple shards you retain more of what you once were and are able to get more shards. I'm not sure how many people believed but I still believe that Sazed is going to become the new Adonalsium. However, I no longer believe that Odium is on a quest to become an Anti-Adonalsium. I logged on to day and was going to add a new piece of evidence to my "Sazed will be Adonalsium 2.0" theory and concede that I am wrong about Odium. Because today as I was walking home from school I was listening to the HoA audio book and in it Sazed says somthing quite profound, but that at the time the book came out I dont think we had enough information to know how important it could be, It is on page 660 of the paperback version and is in the scene where the First Generation is telling Sazed about the Resolution, it is right after they are informed that the mists have disapeared. Sazed asks if this means preservation has returned, the kandra tell him this is impossible "Preservations power remains, for power cannot be destroyed. his mind, however was all but destroyed - for this was the sacrifice he made to imprison Ruin."....."The sliver remains, the shadow of self"....."Yes but that is not Preservation, just an image - a remnant. Now that Ruin has escaped, I think we can assume that even it has been destroyed"....."I think it is more, We could-".....(this is Sazed right here)"If Preservation has not returned, then has, perhaps, someone else taken up his power to use in this fight? Is that not what your teachings say will happen? That which Has been sundered must again begin to find it's whole." (emphasis added). Now, we don't know the original context of Sazed's quote but why would the Terris people refer to the loss and renewal of there god in the past tense? Unless, they were referring to the shattering of Adonalsium and it's reparation. They might not even have known what Adonalsium was but they were prophesying it's renewal. Also why would they say "must again to begin to find it's whole"? Has Adonalsium shattered before? Is it maybe a theological version of the Big Bang and Collapse? For one thing, I think we can take this to mean that Adonalsium is being renewed, possibly Sazed will be the new version of it but all we know is that when he took the Ruin and Preservation Shards he only began the renewal. Maybe I'm crazy but I am 100% convinced of my sanity.

Lost, I know they're all dead but its still fun to watch.

they only specialize in the Stormlight Archive right? If so I assume that is all that there would be in their wiki. would it be possible to have it so we combine wikis with them by when they edit a page about the stormlight archive it posts to there wiki and our wiki at the same time and when we edit a page it edits or creates a new page on thier's to. that way we get them on one side specializing in SA and us on the other side being a Jack of All Trades when it comes to the cosmere. I have no idea if it would be even possible but it is somthing to consider, or not cause it might be insanly complicated.
