The spiders still haven't subsided for Detritus.

Easier to stab in the back, right?

Ah know what you all sayin, Detritus big troll, Detritus fick. Detritus ain't none o' dat. Detritus gon' win dis game for his faction, an' Detritus gon' do meaninful vote first roun'. Ah think we need ta lynch JUQ. EDIT: Backstory. Detritus awoke. The best indication that a troll is in the land of the living is that they begin to move. Detritus shuddered. He shook the spiderwebs off his face, but they didn't go away. Suddenly, the events of the previous night came flooding back to him. He an' da uvva trolls had busted some Slab dealers and he'd licked his finger after dipping it in da powder. what was worse, ol' Stoneface was shaking him, saying sumptin about da patrician bein dead. Dis not a good start, he fort.

This is my first SE game, and I'll be quite inactive unfortunately. Sorry bout dat.

Other way around I think... Move over goys, Detritus has arrived. An' I'm deffntly signin' up for dis one.

I calculated the length of the Rosharan hour

1. Let's say five minutes (if that's okay with you) 2. It's just a routine Keep attack for him 3. Our Twinborns have around three days

Okay, let's remove the Compounding aspect.

Sorry, I finished school three years ago and can't remember things very well. It's something to do with how it wants to get rid of it's extra electron, right? To satisfy the octet rule. (I can imagine Wayne saying something like, "What's a big cat got to do with it?") EDIT: I found a WoB that points to it being Cesium: However, I think that Brandon is trolling here, referencing Cesium in the hope that someone might notice it and think it's meaningful. It's question 12 here: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1160

The reason I suggested francium was the radioactivity. However, ettmetal seems to get energy from electron stuff or whatever you're meant to say. Lithium will just convert water into hydrogen and oxygen, it will not explode. Sodium, however, will cause the hydrogen to explode. Therefore, it is probably actually the best choice. I doubt if it would be metallic sodium however, because it sends to stain hands (I think) and blacken when exposed to air. It's probably an alloy of some sort.

So I did some of the calcs in Word because the equation editor is WAY easier to understand than stuff like 45*12/43^(48+89/24) etc. I dunno if there's anything else I forgot to calculate, tell me if there is. Also, I found a WoB that Roshar is lighter than Earth - 70%, and it is high oxygen.
-
Good idea. I had another, different concept, from a WoB. I'm not sure how to link it, but it is question 163 on here: http://www.theoryland.com/intvsresults.php?kwt='shards' So, maybe this is what Hoid is doing. I also considered it could perhaps be the 17th Shard, merely because of their name.

Have you read Mythwalker? It was a novel Brandon half wrote in 2001, and it included a guy who just has to see someone else try something, then he could become a master of it. I wonder if he copied Wayne's ability from there.

lol I just realized when I saw this that Scadrial's gods have the same first letters of their names as my parents.

Regarding Feruchemy, he could have goaded Sazed into giving it to him. It seems like the sort of thing Kelsier would do.

@Fatebreaker I think I'll have to cheat, and use the Ultimate Answer. Time is 42.

@lastofus Don't worry too much about cookies or cake, just remember that NO-ONE expects the Steel Inkwizishon

Hey man, welcome. I'm the True Survivor, Mother of Muralis, and Destroyer of Off-Stumps. You should put this in spoilers like this: (M:SH spoilers) There's a bit more leniency with the earlier books because almost all people have read them. However with the recent ones you are likely to spoil the story for other people, and that's no fun.

I believe that Ettmetal is francium, or perhaps a less volatile form of it. What we know: It explodes when coming into contact with water It has a lot of energy That's it, really. Now, what do we know about francium? It's an alkali metal like sodium, cesium, and rubidium, and has an interesting trait in common: Extreme electronegativity, resulting in explosions when coming into contact with water. In fact, as you go down the periodic table, the elements become more electronegative. This means that cesium has a more violent DIRECT reaction with water than sodium (before you mention 'spontaneous combustion of the vast quantities of hydrogen generated' notice the word 'direct'). Francium is at the very bottom of these. So, BIG boom-boom on contact with water. Check point one. As the least electronegative element on the table, it is extremely reactive. Therefore, it will give off a lot of energy in order to shed it's extra electron. So, lots of energy. Check point three. When asked if ettmetal was Cesium, Branderson RAFOed and said that was the right lines. The only problems with my theory are: Francium is radioactive, and therefore dangerous to hoomans. Whether or not it's dangerous to Scadrians is another matter entirely. My chemistry knowledge is a little rusty, but I believe that if you gather a sizable lump of francium, it evaporates. So, whaddyatink? Crazy? Insane? Bonkers? We aim to please.

Atium improves the mind, allowing the body to react in time.
