  1. What is the big deal about the kidnapped women being Spook’s descendants? Spook had like 13 kids; 350 years after the Catascande, considering the Founder Effect and small population size, half the Basin should be his descendants! Unless all his kids only had one child each for multiple generations, or something equally unlikely, there’s nothing special about those women at all. Any ideas on how to solve this conundrum? In other news, assuming TLR had his kids within the first few centuries of his reign and those kids married into the nobility, every member of Kelsier’s crew - with the exception of Sazed and, possibly, Dockson - is a descendant of Rashek. As are all the nobility. I wonder how he’d react to the news.
  2. Per Brandon Kell is lying through his teeth regarding a capital A avatar. He wants the GBs to think he has one though. (Also: the Seon-cloak thing is hysterical and I could so see him doing this.
  3. Lol! Thanks for doing this! Any chance you’re could create one that says: ‘The Survivor wants YOU to join the army’, but with Army written over in messy handwriting to say Mafia? I’d do it, but I have no clue how to make a meme. (How do you make a meme?)
  4. Yes, it was confirmed and it pre-exists RoW by a couple of years. It was discussed as a hypothetical and he said that it’s theoretically possible, but it would take a LOT of power. If anyone can manage it though, it’ll be a Fullborn.
  5. Kelsier smiled broadly. “Nope. Hey, David! You plan to wave that wand anytime this week?” @Narcoleptic Axolotl
  6. Gets 42. Inserts Douglas Adams.
  7. I never noticed it either. I did go “hey, these guys are the Mistborn crew! Is Kelsier their boss?” back in 2014 though... Still have no idea what exactly made me go there.
  8. I did manage to create a non-contradictory answer... with difficulty. Their father was an Obligator who killed their mother and himself. They were adopted and raised by noble relatives, and left once their adoptive parents died. Yes, a murder/suicide and giving them a second set of parents is literally the only way all the accounts add up to anything remotely plausible. Any additional words of Brandon will probably just make the above WORSE at this point... In other news, he created a non-canon WoB on the Shardcast. As in “this isn’t canon, because I’m going to try and come up with something better, but right now this is the idea in my head.” (Regarding Kelsier using a Seon and a cloak to con the GBs into thinking he has an avatar.)
  9. This pose is so perfect for him! And he would totally do this... For that matter, some Scadrian officials would probably do this... Various Scadrian officials: “The Survivor wants YOU to join the [insert: army, police, various law abiding/enforcing/government things] Kelsier: I want you to the join... the mafia.
  10. Do all metals include Atium? Because that’s kind of important...
  11. The Singers are descendants of the House of Feanaro? This explains a lot, actually... Too bad Venli didn’t learn her ancestors lessons about Kinslaying. On the other hand, no wonder gems capturing divine light are such a big deal on Roshar! The pale shadows of the Silmarilli - the true ‘perfect gemstones’ described in myth.
  12. Kelsier laughed. “Married to his craft, he means. Trickery, deception, wealth accumulation...”
  13. Thank you. In other news: I should be able to do this by the deadline after all. So @Hoiditthroughthegrapevine feel free to put your post up.
  14. @Ghanderflaffle Would it be okay if my last roast was very delayed? My grandmother died yesterday so I’m not really in a headspace where I can write it right now. I’ll try and get it up this week, once everything’s been a little more settled and I know if I’m going to be flying to Florida to help out my Mom while my Dad sits shiva. I’m really sorry about this, but the next few days are going to be crazy and, like I said, I’m not really in the right mind space to write a rap right now. Thanks for understanding.
  15. We basically got a WoB that this is the case to a large extent. Basically that the GBs around Kell, that he’s actively involved with, are very different than the ones on Roshar. Also that Mraize may not be doing what he’s told.
  16. In reference to the original topic here: apparently Kell has reasons for wanting the GBs to think he has an avatar... which he doesn’t have. He’s lying through his teeth. (And is non-canonically using a Seon and a cloak to pull it off.) Which I find both extremely funny and very telling. Also, apparently Mraize may not be obeying orders and Kell’s crew really doesn’t work that well when he’s not around. Brandon compared it to Tor and Tom Doherty. According to him Tom created this reward system that could have led to some nasty competition, but didn’t as long as Tom was around to coral everyone. But now that Tom is gone Tor has had to change things so things don’t become toxic. Rereading WoA, I can definitely see it. If it wasn’t for feeling responsible for the task Kelsier left them, the crew would have fallen apart. To a certain extent they were anyway. Vin not telling anyone about ‘OreSeur’ or the spy; Dox and Ham constantly at one another’s throats; even Saze choosing to act behind Vin and Elend’s backs. And that’s the core crew! The crew that knew one another before, that Kelsier handpicked. And they still began squabbling once Kelsier was gone. A lot of things about the GBs make sense in light of this. Also: Kudos to all of us who basically guessed at any of the above before Brandon confirmed it.
  17. With regard to the last point Ulim is a lot like the Hebrew Olim, ‘meaning those who go up’.
  18. A 740 is the name of the mental competency exam given in NYS. I was on the wrong side of the tracks, tried running across to the other side, and somehow ended up on the express going in the wrong direction.
  19. Eryn nodded, frowning. “Pity. Will have wait until this one,” she pointed at Raven, “recover. Then ask.”
  20. They apparently decided it was worth the risk as they sent a Sleepless agent to spy on Hoid.
  21. I consistently join the Ghostbloods. Every time. Or attempt to anyway.
  22. Eryn nodded, storing the information away for later. The Sovereign would want to know of this. For now... ”Meens used spike on Raven,” she said, “so he could control. Know where he learn third art?”
  23. Eryn glowered at home. “Meant now. Was not in corridor. Then was. Did not see enter. How did this?” He spike oddly this one, his voice fast, almost staccato.
  24. I mean, when an actual volcano went off in the 1800s it dropped volcanic ash and caused a very long winter... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_ash
