@Elenion Yeah, I pinged the server through MC and it didn't even show up. Thought I would try out being a member of a server. Oh well. I have been playing alone since beta, so, I am pretty used being a lone wolf.

*lift head high and waves to nothing in particular*  "I accept my title with forbearance to those in need of Technicolor wisdom and will spread justice to those in need of insight." Assassin in Heliotrope raises shield, Color Wheel of Honor, and salutes Assassin in Xanadu. 

@bleeder

I will be colorful instead of dull

I will advise against any and all baked goods

I will greet all newcomers and not provoke guild war

The Assassins in Technicolor clothing must rise again!

Ultramarine is what I would like to be named, it at all possible. *bows head awaiting approval*

Is this still going on? I know it has been a while, but I would love to be a part of a server.

As @Sasooner said, we might have a group of like-minded and extremely chromatological people if you are interested.

@bleeder I wouldn't mind checking that out. When I do fieldwork looking for rocks I need to know what certain minerals look like to determine what the rock is. This could be shape, texture, color, habit, cleavage etc. So that sounds like something that might be cool. I'd accept an invitation.

Is there a geology guild?

So, like, amethyst?

Yeah. I have always preferred the way it looks in fluorite. Maybe it is the cubic habit or the way light passes through it, but, yes.

Do you mean plum? Plum is my favorite color. 

That is a really nice color. If you search for purple fluorite crystals, those are the shades that I really like.

Ultramarine

These are some colors that I don't believe I have really seen before. So, I just searched for ultramarine and found some in powder form that is awesome! Really pleasing to the eyes. I may have to reevaluate my favorite color, because indigo was the closest one I had found. Thanks for asking that question.

Just now, Sasooner said:

Zaffre.

I had to look that up. What a beautiful color! It makes my brain happy if that makes sense. That is very close to the color that I like.

@Dunite_Sphere

Welcome to the community! It is a pleasure to have you here, random question, what is your favorite color?

Thanks for the welcome! I like the wavelength between 400-475nm or something close to indigo. I know we can't really see indigo, but there is a color that is not quite blue or violet that I really love. Yourself?

Hey, hey hey @Dunite_Sphere! Welcome to the Shard buddy! I'm the resident creepy person, and I promise not to stalk you!

Want some candy!?

I love candy! And vans. Do you have a van?! We could go for a drive into the middle of a forest and look for worms! Worms are the BEST!

Hiya! I'm bleeder. I dress nice and rant about music. I also give out PDFs. Have you read Warbreaker? It's excellent. 

Welcome to the Shard! I promise we try to have intelligent conversations but we usually end up veering into topics such as baking, and each other's day-to-day lives.

Hey, speaking of baking, if you are offered any kind of pastry or baked good, please for the love of all things do not accept. It's for your own good. 

Anyway, welcome! 

 

EDIT: @Tariniel, you have denied me of my only joy: giving out PDFs! Oh no! (I'm kidding. Way to beat me to the punch, though! )

I do have Emperor's Soul PDF though, @Dunite_Sphere, if you want to give it a shot.

Hi Bleeder! Good to meet you. Go ahead and link the file if you don't mind. My wife picked up a Kindle DX at the Salvation Army for $9 bucks, and between Warbreaker and the Emperor's Soul I am sure they are worthy to break it in. Are they both a part of the Cosmere? I should see what is and isn't. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment. I'd be interested in getting those if it isn't too much trouble. I hear a lot of talk about Warbreaker on here, so I guess it is good? An old college friend has read them all and she says The Emperor's Soul was a goodie. I was thinking about picking those up and maybe getting the Unfettered II compilation for Dalinar's flashbacks and the novellas that Sanderson puts out.

edit: Thanks for the link!

Hi everyone! I came to this place after hearing about the Shardcast on the Legendarium podcast, which I am also new to. I have read TWoK and WoR once and the audiobook once for each. The first three Mistborn novels were rad and I have only delved into a little of the fourth. Currently I am reading Elantris 10th Anniversary Edition from my local library, and really enjoying it. A cosmere really piques my interest within a series, and the only other one I know of is Asimov's. I hope to learn some and say some, probably more of the former.
