The Ninja Yodeler

Yeah, but Hoid does like to be cryptic. This could mean tht he started off as an idea tht he actually got from a book. I dont know if I can say what I want about Hoids name, as its a part of the story in LoP. But, he literally could just mean he studied and trained and became a different person through that. Sounds like something he(Brandon or Hoid, take your pick) would do.

Hmm. It kinda seems like it moved up in the world (the black sphere) from a bunch of nobodies to a big somebody(Gavilar). Sorry, just noticing this now(a lot of you already noticed this most likely). Seems like it has an agenda of its own, guiding its holders to where it needs to be. Probably wrong, but I like the idea

Huh... Never knew that. Does Nin have his own Honorblade though? Thout we never actually saw him with one, just Nightblood.

Wait?? Someones been proposing Kals racist? How do they figure that? He befirends and protects everyone in his squad, whos races vary from Horneater to Herdazien to a Parshendi! If that constitutes as racism, I need to reevaluate my life!

Nope, just argued my point. If you call that spamming or trolling, thats your problem, not ours Garfield. If youve noticed all the downvotes for your actions, and how no one but you has downvoted me, as you say, for spamming & trolling, it should be apparent you are behaving in an infintile manner. Just because you dont agree, doesnt mean a downvote is warranted. My piece said. Im done.

Yeah, if he was evil, that archer shooting him from 300+ yards definitely wouldn't have been recruited. He would have been stabby stabby cut cutted. And we didnt actually SEE any of the families rounded up killed. I mean, its cold, but effective. Those soldiers were fighting to protect their Brightlord, and probably more important to them, their families. So, from a strategic standpoint, I agree with his tactics.

I guess its just hard for me to understand. Im of he mindset tht if you have something you need to say, get it out. Because it will eat you alive otherwise. As you have witnessed, I have no problem telling people what I think and how I feel. Maybe thats the cause of growing up with an older brother whos relationship with me was mostly a ridicule target & punching bag lol. Otherwise, logically, your reasoning is sound, I think.

Well, youve convinced me. But with tht being said, why in damnation wouldnt he confide in the person hes closer to than anybody else on the planet?

Even with all that said, I still dont think Renarin would see his older brother as anything but a successful duelist, liked by women he thinks he would never attract, and accepted by Alethi society. I think he would see all that as a reason why he thinks Adolin wouldnt accept him as not being crazy, so he would just stay clamped up, as usual. It does seem to be his natural state.

Also very true. Man he is far, far more of an outlier than Ive ever thought. Plus, going back to my previous comment about him being considered handsome. Dont a lot of people look down on him for having mixed heritage? But its overlooked due to his stature in Alethi society. Meaning a close heir to the princedom?

I see her as something like a Warhead candy. You have to indure the super, uber sourness, to get to her sweetness. I kinda wanted her to punch Hoid at the end of WoR, but it never happened.

Very accurate. Ive never really thought of Adllin being a misfit, but he truly is. Without his dueling skill, he would be just as much as an outlier as Renarin. Maybe not just as much. He is considered to be very handsome (something Renarin isnt really considered to be), and is the heir to be the next Highprince of Kholinar to boot, so I think he wouod be relatively sought after, even without his dueling skill. I mean, he does kinda go thrpugh girls like candy. But tht might be because of his misfit qualities (such as how he has lunch with one chick, while courting another. A big no no apparently in Alethi society lol).Jasnah was. For a long time. Til everyone just kinda gave up lol. Sweet Jasnah.

I was just thinking about making that exact comment Garfield. He doesnt seem like the kind of brother to scoff at Renarin or to outright not believe him. Even if he didnt believe him, he would still comfort and reassure Renarin, while internally trying to formulate a way to help him. Not saying it would be some genius plan he would come up with. It is Adolin after all. But he would still try hard.

They dont understand its not a downvote for comments, but for rep.

TRUTH. Will do good sir.

Well, kind of. Not much BAD realky happened before the Brightlords passing and Roshones arrival. Before that, people were wary of his father, but they respected his ability. They didnt pay him in emerald broams or anything, but they did donate more than enough food for them to live comfortably off of. I mean he was poised to marry the Brightlords daughter, so things couldn't have been that bad for Kal. It wasnt until Roshone started making their lives hell by intimidating the townspeople into not giving them anything ( because he suspected Kals dad, Lerin or Lurin or somesuch, of stealing all those spheres. Or rather not giving them back), that it started getting bad bad for them. The example being their friends and neighbors trying to assault them and steal the spheres.

Yeah, but wouldnt that count as the seasonal depression, like Garfield said? He always said he was fine at other times other than the weeping, which is when he needed Tien to brighten his mood. Sounds like seasonal to me. Btw, Garfield, I apologize for my previous posts. Even though I dont believe I was wrong, I may have been a teeny bit agressive after reading your post. Your opinions are your opinions, and I DO suppose you are entitled to them. Muh bad. Rubix is right. Just gonna back away from it.

I NEVER troll. Just you cant argue your point, doesnt mean I a troll man.

Dude, that is damnation impressive.Ugh, jogging. I had more than enough running in wrestling. Dont even like thinking about it lol

You know what, youre exactly right. He does have seasonal depression. Not clinical depression. Stkll doesnt mean you undedstand the feeling of those two types of depression. But you are correct on the definitions. Okay maybe not so ignorant as I previously thought.

Well your OPINION is rooted in IGNORANCE. Yes, its a work of fiction. But, have you not noticed how a very good many people who suffer severe depression have completely connected with tht toon BECAUSE he reflects the condition so well? Im not the one being incensitive here. You began it with your highly incensitive comments about something, that those of us with experience in this subject, feel is extremely accurate. Maybe reassess your own opinions and viewpoints, before you respond. Oh, and not every opinion is valid. Thats a fallacy followed by dumb people. See, thats an attack on your person. Just an example. I dont actually think youre dumb. Your obviously not, just inexperienced when it comes to depression. EDIT *Thx for the downvote by the way. I never downvote, unless its a rascist or far, far more incesitive comment than yours. EDIT: Boy another downvote!

Haha, nice wordage. What exactly am I suppose to say to this? Sorry? No. You made comments. I showed how you were wrong. Just because you are ignorant on the subject, doesnt mean my passion, or impertinence, as you would like to put it, makes me wrong. You. Are. Ignorant. Change it. For your own sake, not mine man. Love your comic strip btw's. EDIT* STUPID TOUCHSCREEN KEYBOARD! 120 words a minute WASTED!

Maxal "The Ninja Yodeler, you have to accept people will disagree with you and that no, it does not mean they are bad persons." I never once said he was a bad person. I didnt make any judgments on his character man, I made judgments on his intellect. "However, this anger (or whatever feeling is inhabiting you) is better used trying to construct a cohesive post where you would explain why some posters are wrong." Dude (!), that is exactly what I did. Just because you choose to focus on my passion, and not the evidence I propositioned as to why he is ignorant, doesnt mean I didnt coherently, and accurately argue my point. Simple as that. " What will bring you results is to explain it without attacking the person who wrote it." Again, calling someone ignorant IS NOT ATTACKING THEM lol. Its stating that they are without the prerequisite knowledge to comment on the subject. Do you think someone who knows nothing about geology should have a legitimate standpoint on commenting on the age of the earth? Because I sure as hell dont, lol. "Attack the words, not the person behind the words: give everyone the benefit of doubt." AGAIN, I did NOT attack his person, I specifically attacked his comments about Kal being a whiny, mopey sad guy(paraphrasing). I didnt call him a piece a crap,(not the word I would use if I were to call someone something ), I said he is ignorant on the subiect, and proceeded to layout the reasons why. How is that not EXACTLY what you think should be done ( which I agree with by the way. YAY we agree on something Max!) "but leave anything sounding like an attack in your head. " Honestly, you just pinpointed a weakness of mine. It is hard for me to not let people know exactly how I feel in a discussion/debate. And yes, I admit, I get a LITTLE overboard at times. And yeah, no hard feelings at all. I love this stuff.

How did I attack his person? I simply said, with passion, that he is dispalying his ignorance with the post. Not an attack on his person, but a comment on his intellect and the obvious lack of understanding in the subject. What are you talking about? Is it not obvious that the OP is very ignorant on this subject? He displays it with fabulous style of the ignorant, . And no, Im no such all knowing being, not even anything like a Sam Harris or Hitchens, but you dont need to be some genius to spot ignorance in a subject you are steeped in. I dont think I can lay this out any more clearly.*EDIT:Schpellin, Graymmer sorry Max, thought tht second comment was from you lmao.
