  1. For the Featured Forum members thread.
  2. Regarding Prof's weakness I have recently been re-reading Firefight and I think we may have a real clue as to what his weakness is: In the scene where David is bringing boxes in after Prof saves the people from the burning building David goes to check on Prof and prof tells him about his trip to NASA after David inquires about the photo. A little later David mentions the conversation to Tia and she remarks that she had to bring Prof because he was jealous his coworker had won a contest to go train with NASA. She then says that Prof didn't even enter the competition and that he never participates in competition. I suspect that competition is Prof's weakness or maybe something more like the fear of losing.
  3. I do a fair amount of archiving at my job, it is an acquired skill .
  4. Hemalurgy and WoB two things I am stupidly good at... here you go:
  5. I've been re-reading Firefight... so... this:
  6. Another Nightblood WoB that has some interesting implications: It is certainly possible that it is harder to splinter a shard than to consume it outright, but this is an interesting ceiling on Nightblood's power.
  7. This has been my entire day of work... Alas, only 4 more hours...
  8. Blaze1616's quote comes from the Cosmere Q&A from September 2012. I'd have to disagree here. If anything I would say Dominion is Autonomy's opposite (a freedom / oppression comparison).
  9. Which would you choose? Personally I'd be a Firebender.
  10. We haven't gone too far until I say we've gone too far.
  11. Well now that you mention it...
  12. I'll be honest, I was opening these and all I was thinking was "If this ends in 'RAFO', then I am going to throw my monitor out the window." Well Played. Thankfully, not necessary:
  13. I finally just bit the bullet and bought my leatherbound copy... ouch! On the positive side, I asked a rather juicy Cosmere question in my personalization. I suspect if I asked in person I would get a RAFO but it is a borderline one so I am hoping for the best. Even if I don't get an answer I would just be entertained to have a big RAFO on the inside of my book.
  14. Regarding the Nature of Patterns:
  15. First was "The Gathering Storm" Favorite was "Warbreaker"
  16. Zahel Quote: Edit: Oversleep beat me to it.
  17. Thanksgiving is tomorrow here in the States... so... this:
  18. I'm not entirely convinced Harmony would directly intervene if Marsh went all Genocidal. Unlike Paalm, Marsh has no direct contact with Saze forbidding it or requiring obedience/service like the Kandra have (that we know of). I think if anything he would fall into the "Harmony's Ruin" end of the spectrum and Sazed might just let him carry on... With that said, I doubt he would be pleased with the situation.
  19. Lopen's arm growing back seems like the most likely precedence for Renarin's eyes healing. I suspect that if we asked Brandon we would find out the Renarin did not need glasses as a small child. So his Cognitive norm does not need glasses.
  20. Fair enough, I'm intrigued to see what you come up with. Also, I think some one should petition the Merriam-Wesbter dictionary to add "Condimentify"... If literally can mean figuratively then "Condimentify" most certainly should be a word.
