I'm afraid that from evolutionary point of view, that is not really too probable. Based on this explanation of why our plants are green, I would say, that plants in binary systems would grow leaves of color, that is best suited to protect them from light of both stars combined. Having 2 different colored leaves would cause them to be damaged by the start that they are not meant to absorb light from... Now, many questions regarding flora on such planet requires you to decide, how this bisolar system work. Is the orbit of the planet big, with two stars close to each other in the middle? Is the shape of the orbit more like number 8 with planet cruising between stars (that would probably not sustain life)? Or is the other sun orbiting the first one quite far away, so the planet has a normal orbit around one of them? If the 2 suns are close to each other, and the planet circulates them both, you will most likely have them both visible for most of the time, as they would appear to be close to each other on the sky. With orbit in the shape of 8, you would have some CRAZY gravity influence on the planet and temperature differences. The last case might be the most interesting. With one star working more like our sun, and the other would appear on the skies bigger or smaller depending on the orbit synchronization. If this second star was very bright or if it would emit a very specific radiation, you could have forms of life that would hibernate for some time when the star is far away and wake up when it's close again.

My comment on this competition:

Do you think Dumbledore could do it? Of course he probably knew a dozen of different ways, but still, was Dumbledore able to cast a proper Avada Kedavra?

I found an old picture of me (4 years ago) with a real Little Pony. Now, feel free to envy me all you want

Great, I was afraid everyone would want to be a Smedry Which order if I may ask?

If this keeps on, I'll move to US, start a company and employ you Or, why don't you start your own business?

So why the Horecrux inside Harry died when Harry got hit by avada kedavra? And we see that you can destroy a Horecrux with poison, using badilisk fang and poison.

I gave MLP a try and I'm at episode 14... This show is disturbingly entertaining

Ok, so how fast can he scorch my face with this 1000ºF? Just like that and I'm gone or I'm gonna suffer for few seconds What kind of person will he be? Serial killer? Rather peaceful for an epic? Give us some character traits

I think it would depend on the number of players/writers. People with more experience in this matters would be most welcome. I have a general idea for the setting, but I guess it will be all discussed before we start

And I would have to reread them all, because I feel I don't remember that much But still, if we can gather a couple of people, we would be able to start in few weeks

Hey, I'm wondering, if anyone would be interested in having fun with a Free-Form Role Play (like the Oregon RP) in the world of Alcatraz Smedry? I think this world has huge potential to spawn a funny and interesting story

I have a feeling that Winterflame will be Oregon's most popular cook

I admit I'm lost with this Winterflame Let's say I have a piece of meat and use Winterflame on it. What do I get? A very cold, but somehow fried steak?

Pretty simple, but I think it's good for a start. What is so special about this Winterflame? Hotter than normal flame? Can't be extinguished? Makes things freeze instead of burn?

Have an upvote for the blue hair

The most scary kind - female

You have a Talent for this

Well, if he did, it would be a BLAST

Pattern was Shalan's blade all the time. Now, for some questions: Is it a shardblade? Yes it is, and a living one too! It didn't scream - because it was living spren - Pattern. Was she using a different blade? No. Is Pattern the blade she calls for? Yes. Why does she have to wait 10 seconds? That's a bit complicated. She suppressed her memories of Pattern because they were traumatic to her. She believed she needed 10 seconds, when she actually didn't. However, because of her beliefs the blade appeared not instantly. Kaladin can summon his blade instantly due to Syl? Yes.

But he's quadruple posting! That's not the same!

Hurray! The next person to post in the Portland thread will have the 1000th reply!

So, crem covers things, making them look like this after it dries? Also it is a good fertilizer? Those two facts make me believe, that the Origin is kind of a volcano or there is a volcano between the Origin and Roshar, that spews tons of volcanic ash into the highstorms. Another fun thing about volcanic ashes is that they may cause lightnings. As we can see in the case of Pompei, volcanic ash is very good in covering things, and when it dries/cools down, it become solid enough to survive over a thousand years. Also volcanic ashes are known to be very fertile. The only thing I'm not sure about is how would this ash mix with storm clouds, but I guess that it would behave more or less just like the crem. EDIT: So, knowing that Stormlight leaks out of everything and that it needs to leak out (some recent WoB IIRC) I think that: Leaked or released Stormlight is comming back to the core of the planet, or just underground and from time to time it is released into the highstorm with the ashes from some huge volcano. The only problem with my own theory is that there is no mention of any huge column of smoke raising into the sky east from Roshar. But well, there is also no word that there is no such thing

I think the Shardblades will still be used. Even if the fact, that they are dead spren becomes general knowledge, people are too hungry for power to give them up.

And as far as I know you were right.
