  1. Some of the achievements from other forums I use: Member Age Bronze, Silver and Gold for 1, 5, and 10+ yrs of Shard membership Thankful - Based on how many rep you give Bronze, Silver, and Gold icons for 50, 100 and 500 respectively Gracious - Based on how much Rep you receive Helpful - Based on numbers of answer questions Too bad people almost never click that up arrow in Cosmere Q&A Artist - Making art galleries Art Fan - Giving rep to art galleries Verbose - For total posts Alternately only non-rep Posts Invested A special Achievement given by any admin for whatever puropse they feel deserves recognition Users are disqualified if they ask for it - the point is an Admin recognizes some attribute of a user's good forum behaviour they feel deserves recognition. Those are the possibles I think might work here (depending on how metrics are automated adn tracked in the server back-end.)
  2. WoR Ch 51 I think part of the difficulty is people are paraphrasing rather than quoting. Here's a new one:
  3. Please do not double-post. Here are some tips and tricks that may help: Don't forget - the Words of Founding were the contents of his Keeper Copperminds at the time he took the Shards in HoA - so it would only have what the Kepers could discover between Third Century FE and the Catacendre. We-the-readers know a bit more from the books, annotations and WoBs. Any informatoin more than that would be spoilers for the rest of Era 2.
  4. Why do we hide the source of Rep? I can see why it might have been the case when negative Rep was a thing, but I never understood why it continued when negative rep was removed.
  5. In no particular order (mostly because I don't plan to reorder them as I think of them): Clue - Classic comedy at its finest with a huge all-star cast (for the 80s). Also, for those of us old enough to remember, how can you not love a movie audacious enough to make three separate endings without telling anybody - so the ending you saw was different per theater (sometimes per "screen" as I first saw this at a 15 screen theater outside Detroit and two of the showings had different endings). Now, on DVD, you can choose "random ending" or "all three" - where "all three" will show Ending 1, then pop up an old style "silent movie" placard saying "That's how it might have been, but it could have happened like this" - cue ending 2, followed by "But it really happened like this" - and finally ending three. Much Ado About Nothing - Speaking of stealth all-star casts. I firmly beleive this is the best Shakespearean adapatation ever. Especially when one considers it was filmed as basically a week-long party. Branagh had the cast come to Italy (I think it was his estate - but I can't find that interview anymore) and basically said "actors playing for actors" - lets just do this outside in whatever we can find. So, lots of sun, lots of laughs and just a great film. Red - Here's the thing about Bruce Willis comedies - if he's trying to be funny, it's awful (The Whole Nine Yards); but when he's the straight man and people are funny around him, it's epic. TVTropes says it best - much can be forgiven of any film with Helen Mirren manning a .50 cal machine gun. Sure, the action is over-the-top (it's meant to be) like the scene stepping out of a car doing a donut in the middle of the road - but that's part of the epicness. And Malkovich just shines. Dead Poet's Society - In all the great Robin Williams' dramas, if I can only choose one I have to go with the movie that Robin used to prove that he can do more than just comedy. Content, timing, everything about this film was awesome, and without it we would never have gotten to see films like Good Will Hunting, What Dreams May Come, Etc. Transformers The Movie - Anybody born after the 80s cannot appreciate how much this film changed animation. All Star cast? First to do that. Consequences of violence? First to do that (any Gen Xer that saw this in the theater will likely admit to crying at the Death of Optimus Prime - protagonist death was unheard of in Animation before this - especially before the climax). Swearing in theater-released Animation* - First to do that (and get the VHS released censored in the US - I had to buy mine in Canada to get the uncensored film). Orson Wells, Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy - just everything about this film was awesome (and why any fan of the originals despises BeyFormers) *Not including Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty that used words only considered cursing after-the-fact ("jackass" to mean donkey in the former, and "hell" in reference to the Christian location in the latter)
  6. Late Spring, Early Summer. I mapped out the Era 1 Timeline here. She most likely learned some general Cosmere knowledge, history of the Shard she held, knowledge of what she can do with the power etc, as this comes with the power On screen, she has mostly learned about the nature of the Spiritual realm. Ch 78 and 81: It's not parsing so much as recognizing innate knowledge. As @alder24 said, the Power will instinctively know the history of itself. Since Leras used the Shard to make the plan - the Shard remembers the plan. Ch 76:
  7. Interesting theory. But doesn't Hoid note in Tress that the reason his attempt to become Elantrian in the Postscript (10th anniversary Edition) fail because he was lacking the invitation? And he implied that was what the Shaod provided - an Invitation to become Elantrian. Though it may just be that people not considered Arelish are the only ones requireing the "Invitation." So maybe you need to have been a DawnVessel - or maybe just being a DawnSliver makes the process easier?
  8. I took it to mean that Aux could not become two or more disparate pieces, but a Chain is 1 item (Cognitively speaking) and entirely connected. In other words, there is no "and" - Aux could not become a Bow and Arrow, or a Staff and Knife - but we don't think of a chain as "link and link and link" - it's a Chain - one thing (despite being composed of multiple "pieces"). In fact, most swords would technically be multiple pieces (Blade and crossguard and handle and pommel) or a spear would be "handle and blade." So, I would guess the limitation is more about Cognitive Identity (an object viewed as "one thing") than physical reality.
  9. Let's see if we can piece this together. Countdown Chronology: So, Vin held Preservation for about 2 days of real time (and slightly more subjective Spiritual Realm "time" - since there is no time or location in the Spiritual Realm)
  10. I also have not yet read Nemesis (and am hoping for some answers there). Night Angel definitely has some "first series" issues going on, but I have noticed that the rereads helped since some of the foreshadowing of the ending was subtle and easily missed. The Prequel Novella (Perfect Shadow) also helped with some answers, since it was Durzo POV. Garoth was a great Villain (much better than Neph Dada).
  11. Re-reading Plague of Giants (Kevin Hearne - Seven Kennings book 1) in prepration for the final book of the trilogy which releases 7 Nov. Do you mean book three of the trilogy (Beyond the Shadows) or the new Book 1 of the next trilogy (Nemesis)? I feel like Mr. Weeks was inspired by Kelsier on this series - There's always another Secret.
  12. On PC you can hover over badges to get a description - it seems the "hand" icon is a "Wave, this member joined recently" badge. PS: I know it's only day one, but can I ask if I am the only one really bugged by the thread sidebar stuff? It's not the data , it the fact that as soon as you scroll passed that box of data, it's 1/4 of the screen that is just blank gray - feels like so much wasted space. If only it floated and was always in view (maybe) - just would be better as a header than a sidebar.
  13. Wow - congratulations on the job and the request! Non-spoiler Spoiler That's okay. Some of the confusion should diffuse in Part 2.
  14. It was in the "tips" at the top of my last post. You could quote your post, cut it from this thread to that one, paste and repost. Then use the Hide tool to hide this post. However, I would recommend either: Leave it as is - it's not a huge problem in 1s and 2s - only in dozens (just know for future releases that the Reactions thread is for exactly this type of post) Click "report post" under the three dot menu (top-right of post) and ask an Admin to merge this thread into the Reaction thread. Thank you very much and have a great day.
  15. Welcome to the forums. Here are some tips and tricks with which yo umay not yet be familiar: Glad you enjoyed the story. Please keep in mind that posts like this have a reserved location - Yumi Reaction Thread - which prevents having dozens to scores of separate threads for each person to simply post their "I finished it" reactions (it also makes it easy to see how other people liked the new release). Thank you very much and have a great day.
  16. I don;t know about the Admin's perspective, but I've mostly seen "Hide" as a way to expunge an accidental double-post. In fact, in my updated tips and tools I wrote this: Here is my entire tips and tricks (I use it when responding to new people - like this - note: example is from old forum version)
  17. Copy all, thank you very much. My (current) top three: - Report post. If any of the features should not be hidden in a hamburger menu, I feel like this is the one. - Upvote count (good to hear it's already on the radar) - Private Message editing - when any other post is edited, it edits in-place. . . why oh why does editing a PM that has a quote or spoiler box redirect to another "edit" page that won't let you see the conversation around it? Thank you all very much for all of your hard work. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help (testing a specific feature, updating a reference, whatever). Have a great day.
  18. Rep count on a post - That's in my top three "things lost to the change" PS: Is there a change feedback thread (as opposed to this "issues" thread?
  19. Copy all. I would say that a gray ? is (in most computing environments) indicative of a missing icon. At least in my experience - from a Network Admin/CyberSecurity perspective. Most forums, again in my experience, use some form of a "bar graph" icon to indicate polls (because the poll results are almost exclusively shown as a bar graph). Easy to adjust to, but confusing if you do not know ahead of time that it is purposeful. PS: New edit location is going to take a lot of adjustment - already hit "Quote" many times when I want Edit. . . PPS: the Delay on the main menu (News Forums Shardcast etc) seems way too short on PC - getting near it or passing the mouse over it at all makes it pop-up and block the interface below - so I keep trying to go to a thread or forum and accidentally clicking things I don't want because it popped up under my mouse without requiring a hover This requires me to go below the pop-up and hover on something empty to wait for it to disappear every time I change tabs (by mouse)
  20. Poll Icons seems to be missing/different (please see screenshot). Checked in both Cosmere Discussion and Entertainment forums. Instead of a Poll Icon, it shows a gray ? circle. Platform: PC Browser: Firefox 118 Affected Page(s): Possibly everywhere, checked Cosmere Discussion and Entertainment Expected Behavior: Poll Icon to show in thread title Actual Behavior: ? icon showing instead Already cleared cookies and refreshed pages.
  21. There is no known information on if Alendi had children. In the First Century TFE, Rashek was still trying to unite the continent. Coppermind: It's called the Time Machine, and when you first go to the Coppermind it should give a pop-up asking if you want to use it to revert any page(s) to before a book's release.It should also be available from the yellow/gold info box at the top of each page.
  22. If you reliably want it anytime soon, I would buy from Dynamite - then cancel your order when Dynamite's Omnibus arrives. Note: I think the Softcover is the only one shipping now. Not sure of Hardciver status.
  23. Amazon is notorious for making up details randomly and cannot be trusted*. The only known reliable vendor for the Omnibus right now is Dynamite themselves (since they make it). Example: Basically Amazon's MO is that their website will not allow blank data - so when they add a page for a future product - if they don't know something (cover image, release date, etc) they fill it in randomly with the expectation that it will be updated as information becomes available. I make it a personal policy to not trust any information on Amazon that is more than a month before release and, even then, only if I can find corroborating evidence.
  24. Because the Night Brigade is a spoiler for The Sunlit Man
