  1. I think that Chromium-luck is meant in the sense of "joy", not of "chance". Eve then, it can help you, by holding up your motivation.
  2. Very rough scetch. I would appreciate if somebody'll draw something better. I am horrible at creating city maps (continents, for some reason, are reasonably okay)
  3. You get absolutely uneatable shardfork-destroyed horneater food. You are allowed to guess from which part the "absolutely uneatable" attribute comes from. *Inserts annoyed Sadeas* Sadeas is annoyed anyway, if you insert him in a Vending Machine
  4. Well thought, and I like that story. I only have one question: If the statues of Wisdom and Justice are some hundred meters away from tha main Island, how did he manage to get there?
  5. Granted. You are cursed to attack any epic in sight. I wish for more participation in the broken city project.
  6. Well...combinated with a lynch mob that results in a revolution. *inserts revolution supression*
  7. Yes, but planar only in a very rough approximation. If you want to have a chart of, say, the ten, or probably fifty-lightyears space around our system, there won't be much "plain". Same for cosmere, I think. I read somewhere it's a dwarf galaxy, and therefore it's even less planar than a spiral galaxy. (Also, there is the possibility it's a elliptical glaxy, and therefore shaped like an egg or a potato, loosing almost all plainity)
  8. I'm a bit sad that I have to wait around at least half a year between Alcatraz 5 and Stormlight 3... still, that's FTL in comparison with other writers. As Cosmere Chart! Well, that's storming/rusting/coloring/signing exciting. But It's also interesting how they'll manage to draw it. The cosmere is three-dimensional, and it's typically difficult to picture threedimensional structures.
  9. You get a very annoyed Rock. You managed to hit him with the rock. *Inserts petition in Alethi to stop posting such improper pictures like above*
  10. Actually, I think you will need at least one Tier-5-Dustbringer, to burn a hole through it. Unluckily the usage of Releasers requires you to contact the Supreme Officie of Legitimated Surgebinding (SOLS), the Azir Dustbringer Headquarter (AzDbHQ), the Bureau for Stormlight Distribution (BSLD) and at least three other Offices. Also, you have to fill in at least 32 different Formulars, each of whose requires you at least one Tier-2-Elsecaller to understand. You start to see the problem? Also, when you finish the 32nd document (BSLD-1715; Request for distribution of 2,000,000 charged diamond broms), you realize at least one of the following things. a.) you or the required Dustbringer died from old age b.) you or the required Dustbringer died from the occasional Desolation c.) the laws and regulations have changed...well, I think that will be the case anyway d.) Lift lifted your breakfast and the document SOLS-412. You can start from the beginnning.
  11. You get a slightly annoyed Rysn. *Inserts Szeth's Oathstone*
  12. Granted, but you convert to Shu-Dereth and from now on hate all Elantrians. Also, you often forget your backpocket at home. Including your trousers. I wish to know the Name of the Wind.
  13. I wondered about the question if somebody can be a Mistborn and a Ferring (say, Skimmer) or, respectively, a Keeper(Full Feruchemist) and a Misting (say, Ironpull) at the same time. As far we had only Twinborns and "absolute combinations", like TLR.
  14. Actually, it's quite obvious that Shasta Smedry killed Asmodean. Alcatraz himself said that.
  15. I used to name ASoIaF and (to my shame) Sword of Truth my favorite series for a time, and before that an almost unknown guy named Ralf Isau. Named Ralf Isau had a lot of interesting worlds and/or magic systems [A world, where forgotten things go, for instance; or a guy who is able to slow everything (but not make it faster)] - unknowingly written along Sanderson's Three Laws. Actually, I think some of his worldbuilding/magicbuilding for some of his books is almost as good as Sanderson's. Unfortunately most of his plots are less thought trough as BS's, and, as with a lot of good writers, he seemed to burned out of very good ideas. One fortunate day I discovered Elantris in a library (thank you very much, evil librarians!), and remembered, that I read Alcatraz 1&2 when I was 13 or 14. I read Elantris. I discovered TWoK (in Germany it's separated in two volumes) in the same library. I read them twice or thrice. I waited for the release of WoR part 1. I read it in the bookshop. I started to read Mistborn at a bookshop. For some - now ununderstandable - reasons i stopped it halfway through the first book. A year later - after I read WoR part 2 - I started to read Mistborn again. And read it in straight line to AoL. Then I buyed and read Warbreaker, Emperor's Soul, Legion...and discovered Coppermind and the 17th shard. I read StAr in english as an eBook. Then I was ruined completely. I read almost everything (just Shadows for Silence and some of the SciFi are still on the list). I even read WoT in less than two months. Probably the most pages in that time in my life for now. What makes it difficult to go from Sanderson to other writers is the structure of his worlds. Each part of them somehow feels... right, correct. Worldbuilding, characters, settings. (As a good example what not to do I name the late books of Sword of Truth, where the magic system was turned on its head and the plot... well, circled around different kinds of bloodbaths)
  16. Use illumination, so the other students' papers seem to stay white, no matter what they do with them. Use a full lashing to lash some unlucky students' pens to their tests.
  17. In the end of WoR Stormfather proclaims himself a Sliver of Honor. Which makes not much sense for me, since all known Slivers are humans.
  18. That is not useless eough.
  19. Most likely. Also it's possible that both directions are the case.
  20. B..but that would mean the nightwatchert is less powerful than the admins... my life was a lie! *starts to cry*
  21. You get a non-mythological, pretty boring, absolutely not-magical, physically describable mass production dragon. I hope you're happy with it. *Inserts a boxing...glove*
  22. The Name "Statue of Liberty" is already in usage... probably the place where somebody makes attempts to turn it back?
  23. Actually, most assassination attempts worldwide involve overdue bills. Just not student bills.
  24. Actually, that's a very good idea where the name comes from... I remebered dreaming of a manor just below the statue of anarchy. Anarchy's epicentre, probably?
