True, what brought you back?

I hung around. Life got busy so I didn't really do more than lurk for the last couple of years. I wanted to share the poem I had written. That convinced me to post.

No,but 11 hours is long enough.

Indeed, I'd say we need to bring the gang back together but the vast majority are inactive now.

A sad fact. However, who knows perhaps in time they'll make their way back.

Holy smokes, a five day win is unacceptable.

What has this thread come to?

It's not as robust as it used to be.

If you could have any power in the Cosmere, what would you pick and why?

If you were the Vessel of a Shard, what Shard would you be and why?

What's your opinion on the Duolingo owl?

I'd want to have the power of and elantrian of course as I could then hack any other power.

Virtuosity as I am art inclined.

Storming owl.

So who are you?

just to kick things off.

I'm a sharder who has been around the shard for almost 10 years. I'm a poet and writer in my spare time. I actually posted my most recent one in the poetry thread in the creative section. Among older sharders I'm slightly known.

As an older sharder who does know you, I have another question. Sorry to bring politics into this, but who would win, Mistborn or 5th ideal Radiant?

A very dangerous political question. It does depend on prep time and environment really.

It's been a long time since my last AMA. Ask away.

I summoned none. My powers require no summoning tokens or sacrifices.

Indeed, it is one of the great mysteries.

A greater one is why Chaos decides upon what order is here.

Philosophize as you will.

I find many things to be true.

And yet somehow despite your efforts victory is still very much mine 

Not you. Youth is what I had known.

Youth I knew you not so long ago...

I remember winning the day as well. It has been quite a time since I was up on the board. 

Victory is mine. I remember the good old days of this thread! Eons ago it seems.

My greatest work thus far plus. I resurrect this thread from the dead.

It really has been too long.

Congratulations on your mairage, though I'm sorry to hear abput your father.

I've mostly just been teaching God's word and trying to get people off drugs. I got back from my mission recently and mostly been trying to get life and employment figured out, but it's been fun.

All very important work. I have no doubt that all will be sorted out soon enough. If you're interested in some fun/epic reading I dropped that best poem I was talking about on my profile wall. I'd love to hear what you think.

@Nathrangking 

I thought this was a place to share our work. Honest mistake.

Hey, you're back!

 

How's life been these last two years? I know you had a girl back then how did that go?

It's been a hell of a time. Some ups (I married said girl)

Some downs (my dad passed from cancer in January)

Some interesting (wrote the best poetry of my life like a month ago and submitted it for consideration in a major competition)

Hope things have been well with you! It's been too long.

Does anyone else miss when you could see who had recently looked at your profile?

 

I used to use that to quickly look at all of my friends.

Actually yes. I feel bad for dropping off the map. But for a hot second I'm back.

Elf...

I however do not.

I'm not quite so the ookla type.

Agreed. But is certainty a thing? Does it exist?

Don't know. I'm uncertain
