What Calderis said: Although a bad stamp may temporarily take on inanimate objects. It certainly is related to how accurate the stamp is. Actually Forgery is using tons of Investiture. I have seen it stated before but I still don't know where this belief that Forgery is light on Investiture usage comes from.
-
That's how Selish magic works. Investiture constantly flows in from Cognitive Realm through the shape. In the case of Forgery, it maintains the change. Now I wonder... so far the only magic system that we know of that allows you to constantly draw Investiture regardless of where you are is Allomancy. If you could hack Forgery to fuel it with Allomancy, would it work off-Sel too? I'd be surprised if it didn't...

Another one for the 17thShard slogan?

Now I can't help but wonder what did he think of me. On one hand, I had with me three pages of printed questions. On another hand, the day earlier in the interview I was the one firing Realmatical questions... hm...

I think you're confusing constructive critism with outrage. I may have trouble with giving due praise... ... and my OP has none of it. While I haven't been bashing, I also did not praise when I should have. @ButChrisNo, you're awesome for the work you put in creating that article and for your effort to spread the Cosmere knowlegde. I didn't mean in any way to lessen what you have done and if I came off like that, I'm sorry.

Welcome! Kudos for what you're doing! It's... it's not always up to date. Yolen -> Sel -> Threnody -> Braize. Ambition was #1 on Odium's hit list but he hasn't found it until killing Dominion and Devotion on Sel. Yeah. Replace Shardholders with Vessels. I meant that we do know that Yolen still exists and is habitable (at least by one particular dragon ). I'm not sure what you mean. There are many worldhoppers. Some are probably tourists, some are scholars like Khriss, Nazh is more of an acquisition special agent, Vasher is kind of immigrant (he has been living on Roshar for some years now), some are merchants (Hoid mentioned entire mercantile system and that destruction of the Pits of Hathsin stopped all the traffic through Scadrial)... Actually we have seen Ire on the border of Scadrial's Cognitive Realm. They were worried about Threnodites and they have people guarding Threnody's borders. So Sel->Scadrial. 17thShard is an organizations and so far we have seen three worldhoppers that are from 17thShard. Yes. We know that Shashara has been off-Nalthis and Denth - while he hasn't travelled much - spent a lot of time on Roshar. Also, Vasher visited Roshar before creating Nightblood. No, we do not know where Silverlight is. We only know that it's in Cognitive Realm. Actually, PM me, as far as worldhoppers are concerned, I may be able to help

I didn't see FAQFriday polls as broken; more like representing a larger issue I see as problematic. One I wish to resolve. BTW, I have no idea what you're talking about with the football analogy XD I get what you're trying to say, I just don't know the first thing about football.
-
I'm starting to look like a person that goes arrogantly correcting people on internet, first with the FAQ polls, then this one? Not my intention. I just want to keep people informed. So that's not what I'd do. Instead I'd compile everything we said here and send him a very polite, private message pointing out where his article was inaccurate.

Unmaking the Canon - a resource for theorists

Hold on about those Breaths. It seems we have a case of conflicting WoBs. -
Okay, two pages back there was a doc linked. It doesn't seem to be on theoryland.

Ah, but we do. It's Yolish (Yoleneese?): I have already went through any piece of information we have about wroldhoppers and compiled it in a neat article. Unfortunately I did it in Polish and I didn't do citations. I could translate it but I have end of the semester coming up and the exams are rolling my way...

So, Tor did an article about Cosmere... http://www.tor.com/2017/06/06/brandon-sanderson-worldhoppers/ ... unfortunately it's wrong or presents speculation as facts. For example, the first picture charting voyages of the Shards doesn't account Odium clashing with Ambition in Threnody system. It also has Ruin travelling to Vax... which is reasonable speculation but still speculation. It also contains Survival... but the Survival Shard's intent is only tangentially related to its desire to hide. Hoid chart doesn't account for his appearance in White Sand - well, technically he hasn't yet appeared there yet but we know he will. Khriss chart has her visited Nalthis - again, reasonable speculation but we do not know that for sure. Well, so far I don't remember any of them sharing their knowledge save for some cryptic remarks of Hoid and Khriss explaining cosmere to Kelsier. It's not that surprising for two Shards to come to the same planet (BTW, the term "Shardholder" was discontinued in favor of "Vessel") and the third one only visited to kill them... Also, I am not sure where the author of the article is getting that Hoid and Khriss met at Sel. Hoid's first stop is White Sand (chronologically - judging by the books) and if anywhere, we could speculate he met Khriss there, although she may have not known who he is yet. Hoid visited Scadrial at least four times. First - Final Empire, then he came through the Well and we have seen him with Terris and then in HoA. Then we have seen him in Second Era and we know he came to Scadrial then at least two times (although I feel his apperance in BoM was another visit). Also, Hoid loves bacon and Hoid awaits instant noodles which certain forces are influencing Scadrial to develop. Um... Frost is currently on Yolen... Did I miss anything?

Here's explanation about TenSoon and communication via spikes: -
I keep my own list of questions I'd like to see answered but I'm gonna post it later. For now, a question that you could ask: how did the interplanetary mercantile system work? How did worldhoppers get in and out of the Pits of Hathsin? What goods were they trading and with whom? How did Kelsier destroy the Pits (what damage was done to them)? He couldn't have destroyed the perpendicularity itself, right?

Random Stuff X: Something Weird
Oversleep replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
We kinda missed those parts where he's following you thirty feet back, gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint and is gaining on you. So you look for your car but you're all turned around and then he's almost upon you and then you see all the blood. So you run for your life, he's brandishing a knife... then it's dark and it seems you have lost him; but you're hopelessly lost yourself - stranded with a murderer! You creep silently through the underbursh. Aha! In the distance, hope! Small cottage with a light on! You move stealthily towards it... Now you have to gnaw off your leg. But quietly... -

Unmaking the Canon - a resource for theorists
Oversleep replied to Extesian's topic in Cosmere Discussion
You should probably link the WoB Stack Exchange so that people would know where to go when they cannot find something Time to share some of my yet-unfinished Hoid WoB collection: Most of it is verbatim from theoryland although I may have made some changes to streamline the text. But it should be easily searchable. Not really. Brandon is surprisingly evasive about that, even when I straight up asked him about it and told him it creates much confusion he evaded that question. You can also add that the belief (which I have seen thrown around on the forum) that "Breaths cannot be stolen by Hemalurgy" is wrong (I asked for WoB in the WoBSE and Kurkistan provided a WoB to the contrary). Very good idea to create such thread, looking forward to what will become of it -
And I mentioned all these other things as they are more complex and require much more precision than moving the planet. Not just raw power.
