  1. If Trump wins, I'm moving to Canada!
  2. Today, I found out that Dari is a Latin word (conjugation of the verb do, dare, dedi, datus) that means "to be given" I just thought it was cool
  3. Bluefingers, cause he's an actual villain.
  4. In other news, the spam bots are back.
  5. Yes. Yes he did. Young Dalinar is hilarious.
  6. I was just using Surges as an example, it's still unlikely that Worldhoppers would know the precise bindpoints for Koloss, since that knowledge was first guarded by TLR, and then lost.
  7. I'd agree that bindpoints seem to be the limiting factor here. It's the thing that's unique to Hemalurgy, and even if someone knew of Hemalurgy, it's unlikely that they'd be able to learn the bindpoints for Surges, or Elantrian powers, and the other abilities.
  8. I was more thinking along the lines of going from IX-39B to IX-39C
  9. I just put another IX-39B post up. Warriormark, if my droid does end up finding Valran, feel free to kill it. I have backup characters
  10. IX-39B stormed out of the old Jedi Temple, walking back towards its ship. It was empty-handed. The valuables it had sought in the temple were gone. Nothing remained in there but fresh corpses and old books. It climbed aboard its ship, and prepared to take off. It pulled up into the air, and set a course away from the wreck of Coruscant. With nothing pressing demanding its attention, IX-39B turned on the shipboard transmission receiver, and set it onto channel KR-54. A transmission immediately came through, along with a data package. IX-39B opened the transmission, and heard a voice speak of a new contract, one offered by the Sith Empire. A man named Valran Solo, wanted alive. IX-39B was interested. Its data indicated that the Sith Empire paid very well, and from the sound of it, this Valran Solo was of special interest to them. This contract would pay well, very well. IX-39B set the transmission receiver to scan the network for any sign of this Solo. At the same time, it piloted a course for the planet Bespin. It had an old contact to talk to.
  11. Cognitive Identity, isn't that (paraphrasing Emperor's Soul) how a thing is viewed and how it views itself? So once something is considered a human, and considers itself a human? Would that mean once the embryo develops brain functions/starts to think?
  12. Granted! For your bane, any shoes you wear are now immensely uncomfortable. I wish for an upgraded graphics card in my computer.
  13. Justice always seemed like it would be a Splinter of Honor to me, especially one associated with the Skybreakers. It could be another Shard, though
  14. I heard the word "lackadaisical" today. On a completely unrelated topic, I have a new favorite word
  15. Now it's the Revenge of the Fifth!
  16. Great! This was at the Denver signing too.
  17. Blacksmith? You mean master Hemalurgic murderer?
  18. AND WITH YOU
  19. I had forgotten about this.
  20. That's probably because
  21. I just found this, and after skimming the text along with what Stormgate said, I found that Makkal is Slaughter, as he created the Gol, and Agaris is Despair, who twisted them.
  22. In almost every book, there's a strong focus on religion and how religion can affect the lives of the people in the book. Not gods, or Shards, or any higher power, but how the actual religious practices change people. You have the people giving Breath to their gods in Warbreaker, and petitioning those same gods to give their lives for the people. In SA, religion pervades the culture, but due to the Hierocracy, there's also the idea of the ardents being slaves. People burn glyphwards to send them to the Almighty, and have strict societal rules that are also partially governed by religion. In Mistborn, the Lord Ruler uses religion to coerce and control the population, using the obligatory and Inquisitors to subjugate the population. In Elantris, the story is about the conflict between two religions, and the wars it causes to the nations.
  23. Well, about the Shardblade cutting yourself, I think the spren would not cut you accidentally, but if for whatever hypothetical reason you had to cut yourself with a Shardblade, you could convince the spren to do so.
  24. "I don't get it. What are we in favor of?"
  25. Well, it depends. Is there anything Council-worthy happening yet?
