  1. Mistborn original trilogy spoilers
  2. They have dangerously high levels of iron
  3. Hello! Welcome to the forums! Do you know about the cosmere at all?
  4. Welcome to the forums! Have an upvote Have you heard of the Cosmere? If not, it's a meta-series of books that Brandon is currently writing. It currently includes: (Spoilered for length) Basically, get ready for a wild ride. Each series can stand on its own, but the main point of this forums is discussing the interactions between the worlds and building our current knowledge of the cosmere as a whole. (Quick hint: watch for a person named Hoid. In Stormlight Archive, he's called Wit. He has cameos in every cosmere book to my knowledge) Oh, and not to nitpick, but it's Brandon Sanderson
  5. Ect Wilson. Bolded by me. You seem to have forgotten this rather important detail, Wilson. Also, to all you Rosharans out there, it might be more beneficial to lynch a Jack with the confessed goal of killing every last one of you before targeting anyone else, even if the other person has made you upset. Just sayin' Plus, Wilson, even if a person has acted contrary to how they should in a game, that is no reason to personally attack them. I've come to expect more from this community, and especially the moderators
  6. Spoilering just in case
  7. Welcome to the forums! Have an upvote! Oh, and don't take the cookie, it's dangerous. My personal strategy for reading epic fantasy is to get it as a kindle book, so I can do quick searches for character names Other than that, I agree with everyone else; just try to immerse yourself in the story, and it'll work out. After you finish reading WoK, I'd suggest reading Warbreaker and Emperor's Soul, then doing a reread of WoK, and then finally starting WoR. It'll help you with some of the WoR concepts, hopefully
  8. Ecthelion, you seem like you're trying to bait an attack. Any specific reason for that?
  9. Regardless, you're offering to sell other people's information. That's just a bad move in general.
  10. So, Straw, why exactly were you planning on selling my information? It's rather annoying.
  11. So, one of the people Straw has info on is me. Instead of giving a backstabbing informant () information that he can later exploit, I'll willingly alignment-trade with anyone who wants. And I can promise that I won't sell any information but my own, so you at least have a higher chance of your information being kept relatively secret with me than with a confessed informant who will just turn around and sell your info to the highest bidder.
  12. I'm only doing alignments, but Elenion told me both so I didn't want to be cheap. From now on just alignment, though
  13. I've had 4 role swaps and no one has been from my faction. This is getting disheartening
  14. The first person to PM me after this post can do a mutual alignment trade. I'll be honest, and I hope you will as well. Edit: Ok, I've gotten 2 PMers. Neither seems to share my alignment, unfortunately... Edit 2: I'm seriously considering all-out revealing my alignment. I'm more or less willing to trade with anyone interested right now (Alignment, not role)
  15. Colors, I'm frustrated right now. I want to vote on Magestar purely out of self preservation, but I honestly feel like he's village and feel like it'd be stupid to sacrifice an innocent for another day of life. I'm going to make a proposition. If we lynch Sheep tonight, I'll give my breath to @Ecthelion III this day cycle. I die anyways, and we save a villager the Elims targeted last night. There's literally no loss involved (except, of course, for sheep and the other eliminators ) If we're doing this, we need to go quick, so place your vote on Sheep now, please! Edit: Sorry for double post! Overtired right now. Edit 2: This isn't any personal vendetta, Sheep, so I apologize if it appears that way. I'm really and truly fatigued out of my mind right now with cross country, so I'm just hoping my posts are coherent. Tone is far beyond my grasp right now
  16. Sheep is by far the most suspicious right now in my opinion. He refuses to acknowledge my defenses except for those he deems suspicious by virtue of "overcompensating", as if a villager is more likely to passively accept being lynched than an eliminator. That, combined with a statement made about my own breath count being low (which I've released a second statement explaining) makes up the net sum of evidence on which he's pushing this lynch. I'm guessing it's too late to save myself, but I ask that you all keep a close eye on Sheep the rest of this game once I'm dead. (In other news, I believe this will be my first game to not be alive in the final cycle! At least I kept the streak this long )
  17. Deflecting blame in the sense that if/when I'm lynched, you aren't regarded with suspicion for making accusations against a villager, instead saying you were suspicious of me for the points Bard has expressed. As for the overcompensating, I was merely expressing that saying it was only relevant if I were an eliminator was wildly inaccurate, and wanted to emphasize that it is relevant even though I'm village. When we start saying that defenses are suspicious as well as lack of defense, we enter a positive feedback loop where no matter what the defendant does, the suspicion level just goes up. That seems kinda counterintuitive to me. I have to go set up an awning with my family, I'll be back when I'm done. Sorry for any incomplete thoughts
  18. So, it looks like most of the flak against me is for mentioning my own breath amount. Here's the truth: I was surprised at Ecthelion's breath count, and remarked on it. While I was at it, I figured I might as well keep any opportunistic elims from attacking me by lessening their incentive to do so. I certainly wasn't expecting this much backlash Anything specific, Sheep? Or will you just give more vague explanations that deflect blame onto other people and allow for easy disavowal? Either give specifics that I can refute or don't vote on me; this half-and-half reeks of an opportunistic eliminator
  19. The info I got from my QA: Passing breath and using awakened clothing are the only day actions You have a total of 2 actions per cycle to distribute between day and night however you like The only way to tell if you are a potential returned is via self-scan with strawman or getting your breath stolen Neither winners nor entries in the lottery will be revealed (which blocked my plan of having breath thief targets get sole access to the lottery…) Awakening is a night action, not a day. (Asked to clarify some seemingly contradictory statements in the main thread) Higher level strawmen don’t have the powers of their lower-level counterparts in addition to their higher tier powers The lottery can have multiple winners
  20. Talton ran, sweat dripping down his face. Cross Country season had just begun in Halladren, and today he had upped his mileage to 6 a day. With a mile and a half left to go, things were not looking well for him. Lost in the recesses of his own mind, he forged his way up yet another hill. He was snapped from his reverie by the sound of footsteps behind him. That would probably be one of the 7 milers on their way back. He futility sped up, hoping that he’d somehow eke out the strength to stay ahead of the approaching runner, but to no avail. “Good job!” the guy called as he moved to pass. Talton vaguely recognized him as a new runner who went by the name of Wit. He hadn’t replied with a sound somewhere between a grunt of pain and a “You too”. Annoyingly, rather than passing Talton, Wit fell into pace beside him. “So, have you heard the rumors?” he asked. Talton made a vaguely negative grunt, peeved that this newbie would add insult to injury by trying to make him talk despite his labored breathing. “Apparently, there are returned in Halladren.” the runner continued, oblivious. “Really?” asked Talton, his interest piqued. He had always been interested in the godlike figures, but he had never actually met one. With the recent violence against them by Idris, he wasn’t sure he ever would. “Yeah. But apparently they aren’t the benevolent kind like T’Telir. These ones are supposedly stealing breath from the villagers here.” “Not possible” replied Talton, using the least air possible. “I certainly hope not” said Wit. “Although I do hope this running will give us excellent breath retention.” With that, he jogged off. When Talton got back, a minute before the next 7 miler, Wit was already gone. So, I just realized I still hadn't done my introductory RP. The QA analysis will be up tomorrow.
  21. I suppose that's true, I just wasn't even aware starting breath counts could be that high. I felt like the GMs would probably start people at lower breath counts to keep strong items from existing immediately, instead opting to give the lottery a bigger role. That was poorly expressed on my part, since I'm actually not suspicious of you right now. Sorry for the random thought Sorry everyone! My question was prompted by Bard's plan, because I was concerned that if a returned were about to be lynched, they'd give their breath away, and wanted to make sure that they would still show up as returned. Elb answered that in the writeup, it would appear that their death immediately followed the loss of the divine breath, so their status as a returned would still be obvious. Somehow I missed the second part of the PM that said the death would actually happen along with drabs to preserve consistency. My bad... I'm going to start writing a summary of the rest of my QA. I asked quite a few questions, so it might take awhile, but I'll put it up sometime tonight.
  22. Would a WGG work in this game, actually? As part of a QA spree I had with Elb earlier, I confirmed that a returned died immediately following the loss of their divine breath, so of there is a successful breath steal and the target doesn't immediately die, the target isn't a returned.
  23. Ect, your breath count is suspiciously high. I don't want to give an exact number, but I can promise that mine was lower by quite a bit. I doubt the returned would neglect to place a kill C1, however, so assuming there's no counter claim, I propose whoever is lynched with the primary lynch today gives their breath to Ecthelion
  24. Yep, Emperor's soul is on Sel. It's not really related to Elantris, though. It just has a similar enough magic system that it's set on the other side of the same world. Oh, and feel free to PM me with any SH questions you might have. It's probably not the best idea to ask in thread because then you'd run the risk of spoiling it for other people. (Not a rebuke or anything, you've done a great job with avoiding spoilers! I was just letting you know in case you hadn't realized)
