  1. Naah. Those are not superpowers - you already had those, I remember you doing some programming magic with the forum. No, now you are a demigod. That's a step higher.
  2. It was actually asked month ago (the photo):
  3. Work in progress Soon it should be finished and posted.
  4. About reputation: It would be nice if we could at first glance tell who has mad rep because of roleplaying a lot and who has mad rep because of pulling obscure, untagged, long-forgotten WoBs out of nowhere.
  5. Despite what Star Wars is telling us, anger does not necessarily lead to hate. Those are two separate concepts. Related, but not the same. There is righteous fury but there is no righteous hate, for example. Personally I think hate is something much more long-lived and devastating than wrath.
  6. Yeah, yesterday I read up a little about God's attributes. So far I've been trying to match it with the Shards we know: Devotion - God's love and dedication Dominion - God rules. God's authority. Autonomy - God's sovereign (there is a whole concept of God being autonomous) Preservation - God doesn't change (although it can be applied to also God keeping things the same) Ruin - God destroys Cultivation - God improves, perfects, advances Odium - God hates Honor - God upholds, God is true to His word Endowment - God gives Ambition - so far this has been the hardest. God acts? Without ambition you would do nothing... I think we could chalk up Creation to Endowment & Cultivation & Preservation & Ruin. Now, I think there should be God's divine Wrath somewhere but I'm not sure whether Odium would contain it or not. I lean towards Wrath being separate as you don't have to hate to feel wrath. Since Threnody theory I'm thinking about Shard of Sorrow but I'm not sure it fits. Anyway, a strong possibility is Grace/Forgiveness. God forgives. And I don't think Devotion would contain that. What else? Wisdom. God is wise and wisdom is something you'd definitely want God to have. Patience... I feel it would be closely related to Wisdom. God also tests people, gives life challenges. Demand? Something like that. I ruled out Judgement - I feel it's a combination of Shards, Honor would be a part of that.
  7. I see it that Identity is kind of like your soul's DNA (yeah, I know sDNA is something different, that's just analogy). When you rip off parts of the soul with Hemalurgy (for example you spike out some Feruchemical ability) the spike will contain that ability primed with Identity of the donor. So when you try to use donor's metalmind, you can. When donor tries to burn his metalmind, he also can do it because his Identity as whole matches the one ingrained in metalmind. The question we need to ask is: If you are a Full Feruchemist and you spike a Full Feruchemist and he survives, could you use his metalminds other than the ones related to the spiked ability?
  8. I agree. And it's not exactly easy to find...
  9. There is a way to donate. Scroll all the way down: http://www.17thshard.com/about.php
  10. Well, God is said to be vengeful; as far as I'm concerned, Hate can very well be God's attribute.
  11. I'd suggest making your own list. It's much easier than going through dozens of pages of this topic to find your questions
  12. I know. I'm asking specifically about the Shattering.
  13. When Adonalsium Shattered... was all of it split into Sixteen Shards? I know there are only 16 Shards and no more than that, I mean whether some of it's power leaked away or something? Seems like RAFO bait.
  14. Welcome to the Waiting.
  15. Vampires. I decided to do some serious worldbuilding for my Soulsmiths and since I aspire to play with the tropes (y'know, characters are genre savvy, they keep a list of the tropes that they played out, for example they keep track of instances of jumping out of the windows, things like that) I had to do some research. I already had defined what my vampires would be and how would they work (my worldbuidling isn't much but this thing I'm proud of) but I needed to know what are usual traits and classical traits of vampires so I could incorporate, discuss or deny them. For example, the sunlight burning vampires is quite a new idea. And TVTropes being TVTropes I found something that sparked some neat idea that fits with my magic, so that's nice.
  16. I'm doing actual research on TVTropes. It feels weird to browse TVTropes purposefully
  17. That math is totally valid. Just like sin(x)/6 equals to n. *sharpens spikes*
  18. Would tinfoil hat prevent Ruin from controlling an Inquisitor?
  19. Traditional Easter greeting (or at least here it's traditional) I had to use some google-fu to find the English greeting and Wikipedia told me it's "Christ is risen!" and the response would be "Truly, He is risen!". Obviously, I have no idea if and where this greeting exists
  20. Is that a Rithmatist reference? Haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
  21. Have you tried burning atium with duraluminum?
  22. I have a WoB about magic not being directly created by Shards:
