Well hey, when you join the forum like six years ago, you get prime pick of screen names

Um... sorry? I was busy at the time. Also, definitely not all-powerful.

Literally me. Although my little brother is hot on my heels; he picked up the Bands of Mourning the day I put it down and has probably finished my copy of Arcanum Unbounded by now. The only advantages I have on him are being on this forum, and my copy of the White Sands prose.

I just finished a re-read of WoR, and it struck me as interesting that Graves has Shardplate as well as his Blade. There are plenty of characters who keep a secret Blade, but hiding Plate is a lot harder. My assumption is that "Graves" is a pseudonym and he's secretly one of the other lighteyed Shardbearers attached to one of the highprinces--possibly even one that Adolin attempted to duel. So let's do some speculation here: who is this guy really?

This post describes my feelings on the matter perfectly. I'm an adamant Shadolin fan for these reasons.

MASSIVE info dump! http://www.tor.com/2017/03/20/answering-the-questions-posed-by-that-oathbringer-cover/

We actually have confirmation from a panel at Boskone that this scene is from the very end of the book. It's buried in the middle of the "Career Panel" linked here:

My money is on thunder clast

That happens to me all the time. Mostly on my laptop, but that's cause I hardly ever use any other device to access this site.

Professor Hrathen's assistant here. He'd like you to know that he changed the course title to "Religious studies 240 Shu-Dereth" because Wyrn said the other title was wrong.

But Gothel's thought it was the hair keeping her cognitive identity from aging, so when she lost that she stretched back to where she was supposed to be naturally. If she had known it was Rapunzel, not the hair, she could have had the correct intent and thus removed her weakness.

When your friend keeps saying, "Merciful!" when she loses at cards and in your head you complete the phrase, "...Domi!" This was about an hour ago...

Undoubtedly. This thread and the corresponding Memes thread are the sources of like 90% of all Cosmere memes in existence

When your first thought is, "Hey, that's the Elsecallers' glyph!"

"Q If Marasi and Wayne are standing near each other, and made a speed bubble…. A They’d cancel each other out. Q Totally cancel each other? A Well, if they make it the same size. If not, they will make like a Venn diagram thing." Oh my goodness, did he just confirm the possibility of speed bubble force fields?

I've got a few minutes to spare tonight so I'm chipping in on the Rithmatist transcription in another tab. Edit: I'm including his verbal pauses, but second guessing myself as to whether it's necessary. Is there a set convention already on that topic?

Got the verbatim!

You rock!

Sweet! Thanks a lot.

He actually implied both, at separate times. First he said that what was left behind after the reaction was important, but then after I asked about the possibility of a nuclear reaction, he said that the type of explosion Harmonium creates has implications for the cosmere.

This is all of the video and audio I took at the convention. My recording of the signing cuts off at 48 minutes for some reason, but @DAdam got the rest on his phone. Thank goodness for backups.

What Pagerunner said is correct: each subatomic particle is only associated with one shard, and loses that association in the explosion. Sorry for the awkward wording. @DAdam has the recording, so as soon as we get it transcribed we can analyze Brandon's exact words.

I interpreted it as the inkspren's tendency being the "thing out of Honor" but he didn't specify. It was just an add-on to the previous sentence. I'm pretty sure that "a thing out of Honor" was his exact wording though.

I actually didn't get a card. Being on the spot froze me up a bit and I couldn't think of another RAFO-worthy question. I also didn't end up asking any of those questions. Since he'd already opened the topic of the spiritual identity of the particles, I decided to go down that route and see where it took us.
