  1. I probably should be voting for Wilson, but Newan, I just don't like the tactic of biting the hand that has been feeding you valuable information. (Especially when you make it so blatantly public and take pride in the fact that you're stabbing your informant in the back.) Backstabbing frequently results in one's own stabbing, I think.
  2. Preservation's Shardpool The metal plate from the conclave/monastery/whatever it was called EDIT: Or Kredik Shaw?
  3. A terrible Latin pun? Semper ubi sub ubi. (Always wear underwear.) But seriously, I would say either a soulforger's stamp or an item/person who has been stamped by a soulforger.
  4. /pokes thread with a stick How about another clue, Paragrin?
  5. And you just know there's like a million Wolverines out there, but Brandon can't mention them because of copyright reasons.
  6. I have to admit that I've never read any of the Discworld books (yet...), but I understand that they satirize both the fantasy genre and the real world as it existed at the time in which they were written, right? So in keeping with that theme, if there's a need for greater circulation of money, perhaps you could have the GM also function as a "central bank" role and perform "quantitative easing" at times by creating additional money and distributing it to players, either based on a pre-set (but not publicly divulged) pattern or based on a random dice-roll. EDIT: In fact, you might not even mention the QE role of the GM at all before the game starts, if you like secrets. Just say something in a write-up like, "The Ankh-Morporkian (or whatever) central bank has decided that the economy requires a period of quantitative easing, and has taken appropriate action to achieve that goal."
  7. I just really, really want Brandon to officially confirm that the town in Calamity will not be called "Hotlanta."
  8. Nah, you won't miss anything by reading the book you have and then just reading the (extremely small, considering the size of the book) list of changes that WeiryWriter posted in a thread in the Stormlight Archive subforum on this site. There's only a couple of substantive changes (all of the others are either grammar or fixing continuity disconnects), and reading those changes after you've already read the book once doesn't spoil the entire experience of reading the book in the first place.
  9. I don't trust the information that Mailliw posted. Some of it is probably correct, but we don't know what is correct and what isn't. One of the players he "outed" claimed directly to me in 1:1 PM that they belong to a different faction. And he got my faction wrong, as well. Finally, anybody can claim any role in PM's, from which he had to draw his information (since there are no role-finding abilities other than the SK). There is virtually no way to conclusively prove so many roles after just 2 cycles, so Mailliw was essentially just playing a guessing game. That doesn't mean I'll be completely ignoring all his claims, but I'm not taking any of it as the absolute truth.
  10. No. This next hint should really give it away, once you examine the wording of the original clue and the clarification statement after it: The cause to which this character was intensely devoted is not the cause which most of those around him assumed he pursued.
  11. It is not an Elantris character. Or any non-Cosmere character.
  12. Good guess! But no.
  13. Karlin, correct your "it's/its" grammar mistake or I'm gonna eat this candy bar I'm currently holding. /empty calories threat
  14. Ha! I figured you'd get it wrong, which is why I decided to go ahead and vote for you. (You are, indeed, incorrect about my faction alignment.)
  15. This person is not a main (protagonist/antagonist) character from any series, and they are not a firstborn. (And also no to your question, Piff.)
  16. Nope. As I've shown in my last few guessing targets, I'm fond of wordplay with my clue. This one is certainly not the most clever I've ever seen. Quite careless, in fact.
