I went to the other topic, quoted myself in the reply box, and cut and pasted it here. It was actually kind of annoying, but it worked.

I'll copy my Guild of Arts application:

For being infuriatingly cheerful. Also, for thoughts that are way less random than they're made out to be.

My favourite rithmatic question was can you make a chalkling inquisitor to spike other chalklings. The basic answer is if they came up with inquisitors, yes.

Could be one of those annoying blank white puzzles.

People's revolution, commence! edit: apostrophe

S(t+1)=S(t) + G(t) - I(t) - H(t) - N(t) - U(t) + E(t) It's interesting that your responding variable (result, in this case S[t+1]) has the [t+1]. I think I get what you're getting at, but the mathematician in me has to point out that the responding variable should be S(t), or amount of stormlight you have rather than S(t+1) or the amount you will have in one unit of time. As I am interpreting your equation, I see the formula as S(t)=S(t-1) + G(t) - I(t) - H(t) - N(t) - U(t) + E(t) The significant change is that I assumed that you have stormlight equal to what you had before minus what you are using now rather than stormlight later being now minus now... hard to explain in english, but basically my formula has immediate effects, and has a properly formatted responding variable, as far as my understanding of math goes. I am not a math major.

What book was it?

Eh. I'll have to read the article mentioned in the article for it to make more sense, but I get the idea. So, Canadians get to be smart, but in the US you have to be lucky?

I wonder why more people didn't do that in warbreaker?

Just finished Shadow of the Hegemon.

Does Roshar have catapults? We could probably even come up with some interesting chull-mounted fabrial weapons, if we really tried.

As an idealist, I'd like to point out that that's not following closely with the actual concept of Communism. Unfortunately, you're still historically accurate.

I think he meant uses outside of combat, not metals not used in combat. I think all the metals are extremely useful in combat,

How about instead of a horse, a chull? With a mounted shardbow?

What happens then? They change them all again?

Read Mistborn before deciding on the cookies.

So, we bring back all the purples and they fight to the death? Like this? 21 The Rithmatist 18 Role Playing 20 Writing Excuses 20 Reading Excuses 20 Mistborn: The Inquisition 20 Sanderson Elimination 20 Stormlight Archive 20 Mistborn

Just realized, Adonalsium sounds like a metal. Can you burn it?

Huh? edit: Oh, the quote boxes. Sorry, I'll remove them. Forgot about copy/paste.
