    You could also try Dan Wells, whose been in a writing group with Brandon since before either of them were published. He's probably better for post-apocalyptic books like the partial's sequence then swords-and-horses fantasy (to use Jim Butcher's terminology), or for I am Not a Serial Killer. If you've read AU Dan Wells wrote the foreword, and you can almost always find Dan in Brandon's acknowledgements and vice versa. I'm reading the Partials sequence right now and it's really engaging, with character's you can really start to care about and a memorable plot, though full disclosure: I'm only ~1/2 of the way through the second book so I haven't read the ending yet.

    About how many breath's worth of investiture would it take to create a gram of Atium? Would it be the same for Lerasium? How long would a gram-sized piece of atium last when being burnt, assuming no flaring? Note: I asked at BYU signing what a unit of investiture would be (maybe something Khriss uses) and he RAFO'd on the canon term for it but said that for 17s shard purposes we could assume it would be based around the breath.

    I think it would manifest as almost nothing (as in not just a lack of matter, but a lack of space) at all. Remember, the cognitive realm contracts space where there's no thought, which is why worldhoppers use it to travel between shardworlds. My first thought was definitely about the restaurant when I saw Silverlight. My fingers are officially crossed. I'm also super excited to read the other system essays.

    I'm both extremely excited, and pretty scared. There's definitely a lot of potential with movie adaptations with the cosmere in general, but it could also be really terrible. I would hate for people to be exposed to a bad adaptation of tWoK, and decide that they won't read the book because of how bad the movie was. I definitely agree that they would be better off starting with mistborn, it lends itself far better to a movie adaptation. There's just so much book to WoK that it'll be difficult to try and squash it into one movie. And if they don't try and fit it into one movie, than they end up with a twenty movie set for the SA, since I doubt any of the sequels would condense into one movie much better. Mistborn, however, is a more ideal length, story type, world, and level of cosmere-involvedness. It would be an ideal hook to get people interested in the cosmere.

    It's possible that you would actually survive that force, because of how feruchemical iron strengthens the body. It's hard to say without a quantitative measure of how much of an effect that strengthening gives. edit: Are we sure that it is indeed momentum which is being preserved? I know that we see wax manipulate his velocity via manipulation of mass in the books, but could it be energy that's being preserved? A decrease in mass at constant energy would result in an increase of velocity, just not a proportional increase.

    The disconnect occurs when we can't be sure that this was the case. The only evidence that tells us that this master PM occurred is your word and Orlok's. Wilson may or may not have known the information that you say she did. Given only the information the thread knew, it's possible that Wilson tried to protect you from being "double tapped". And while you make some good points in your defense, the evidence on Ren is incomplete. Barring stronger evidence in the next 40 minutes, I'll have to sit this one out. I wish I could stick around to form a more definite opinion, but I will be unable to be on for about the last six hours before rollover. Edit: Aman. meant to do that in the original post.

    I assumed you were talking about stink. Was that not the case?
  8. Emerald101
    That's interesting considering he's claimed neutral.

    I'm trying to make sense of the mess of actions that occurred. If Aman and Orlok are telling the truth about the PM (which may or may not be the case) I can find no reasonable scenario which would convince Wilson to protect Aman, except some kind of manipulation from Aman, or some kind of ability-redirection role the Jeskeri might have (like Aonar mentioned.). To me, that's the crux of the matter. Wilson is not a dumb player. She would not have protected Aman without what she felt was solid reasoning. Either WIlson was led to believe that Aman would need extra protection last night, she was forced to target Aman because of a secret role, or Aman and Orlok are lying about the contents of the PM (or even it's existence) and Wilson targeted Aman for reasons of her own without knowing for sure that Aman would be protected. In the first scenario, Aman may or may not have done the manipulation, but given the circumstances of the alleged PM, is the most likely candidate. In scenario two, Aman is completely innocent. In scenario three, both Aman and Orlok are Jeskeri, and are pulling the wool over our eyes with this PM they've cooked up. I refuse to believe that Wilson protected Aman without a logical reason unless she was forced to by a role. She may have been manipulated into it, but the reasoning behind her decision is our best chance of solving the riddle we've got here.

    I did not lie about having been attacked. I have not to my knowledge spread misinformation. The only explanation I can conceive is either that there is a protection role which doesn't count as a "bodyguard equivalent" or that Joe made an error in the writeup. I have PM'd Joe about the situation and am currently awaiting his response.

    I get his enough at work (I work at Wendy's part time and my voice sounds female over the speaker system), there's no need to bring it here . It's not really a big deal, but just FYI, I'm a guy.

    The way you described it sounds like the converted player keeps both win con. Even if you're telling the truth, that doesn't necessarily mean that both factions can fulfill their wins at the same time. I'd assume they can't, because of the things Wilson quoted from the rules post.

    Sorry I haven't been able to comment lately. I've been busy trying to find a way to watch Olympic Fencing without paying through the nose for it. Should be back with analysis eventually.

    I've been keeping tabs on the game. I really don't see why you guys think inactivity is a threat. There's not really an advantage to not talking, or talking at all. All the strategy (except forming groups) doesn't involve the thread. Not talking =/= a threat.

    @Amanuensis The reason it took me so long to post that I was attacked was because of the timing of rollover and when I've got access to a computer (which varies somewhat day-to-day). I posted that almost as soon as I had gotten on, and finished reading last night's leftovers and the thread so far. I did delay it slightly because I was unsure on if people would believe me.
  17. Emerald101
    And the reasoning behind your accusation is. . .
  18. Emerald101
    I'm going to second this. Aman made some good points, but given the little there is to go off of, I want a little more info before I make a descision. I'm leaning toward Araris being evil at the moment considering how he advocated role-confirm lynches, but I'm hesitant to lynch him because the current mood appears to favor lynching me as well if he turns out evil - potentially playing right into his hands. Edit: also, I think the point was to start discussion, not form a bandwagon.

    I must've misread something. Disregard what I said there then.
  20. Emerald101
    Have you been keeping tabs on his activity? He could very well be feigning that he's not paying attention (I doubt he's lying about being on vacation, because IRL stuff doesn't usually get lied about. He could be exaggerating how much that affects his ability to participate.) and then linking himself to me in players' minds as a way to soft confim me as evil or his as good (like you mentioned). I'm getting very curious about this PM Wilson and Araris have had. Any chance one of you will explain what went down?
  21. Emerald101
    I'd really hate for this to turn into follow the cop. . .
  22. Emerald101
    He has to differentiate it for people's PM's though.
  23. Emerald101
    IIRC he did say that survived is attacked but not killed (i. e. Pirate) but saved was via bodyguard (or equivalent neutral), but didn't clarify if kills stopped by a bodyguard would be posted in the writeup.

    I"m not sure you guys are going to believe me when I say this, but I was attacked last night as well, but got saved by a Bodyguard. I'm guessing I was attacked because Maill claimed that I was a Dula in his list (which I will neither confirm nor deny). The thought of three kills trying to go down in one night is pretty scary, it's a miracle all three targets survived.
