That might be all he does with it but it's not all he could do is my point, which presents problems, such as explaining why that's all he does when he could also potentially destroy entire cities in an instant, or make custom compounds.

Random Stuff VI The Return of the Admins
Voidus replied to Zathoth's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
d. Yell that the Voidbringers are back and run screaming from the store. (Pausing as you do so to gently place the can in the sink, ask for a cloth so you can mop up the mess, then wash the cloth before returning it with your thanks) -
Not too OP for somewhere like Astoria I'd say. telekinesis fine enough to manipulate individual molecules is a problem though, it leads to a host of potential problems such as being able to perform fusion, custom chemistry and such. Also if he isn't able to sense objects with his TK then he'd have to rip people apart from the outside in, it wouldn't be instantaneous. (Also I kind of question his ability to do something like that in a practical sense, he'd need to individually move each molecule, of which there are trillions, unless he has vastly enhanced mental capabilities he wouldn't be able to do so within a reasonable length of time.) If molecular disassembly is something you're interested in I'd suggest just including it as a separate power from the TK, that works within an area.

Splitting this up again for clarity's sake. It's not a moot point, yes you need to arrange a weapon of some kind, yes that causes a trajectory and yes that can be estimated. But having a line extending in two directions for probably around 100 meters in each direction to be safe is very different from being able to pinpoint the precise place that it must have been. The amount of force needed to actually kill someone is pretty significant, a bullet shot into the air is not particularly likely to have that amount of force. Additionally tracking a bullets trajectory like that without having precise measurements of wind, temperature, spin, air pressure and so forth would be virtually impossible. Otherwise Snipers would be able to hit their targets consistently at that kind of distance. So count me somewhat dubious on that story. I think it more likely that they tracked it to one of several possible neighborhoods and asked around if anyone heard or saw someone shooting into the air. Something you can't do with an Allomancer because they neither do anything visible nor make noticeable sound. That's my point? How would the police remove anchors to analyze them? I never suggested the perpetrator would remove the anchor. No, all of them will have seen something, most of them will be remembering incorrectly. Some will be able to eliminate certain people as suspects (ie. they were conversing near the entrance when the assassination happened and so were no where near the middle of the room) But other than that? You're not going to get much useful information. Plus at least one of those people giving information is probably the assassin, you don't know who and so don't know what information is or isn't correct. You could perhaps narrow your list of 50 people down to 40, maybe even as low as 25 if it was a particularly segregated area that the assassin fired from. You will not get anywhere close to 1 suspect though. Yes it does, that's exactly what Allomancy does, pit your weight against that of the object you are pulling, in fact since Allomantic force is enough to counter gravity it would be as though several versions of you were hanging off that nail. Now if you needed all of that force it would obviously put you off balance as well but then a nail hardly needs anywhere close to your full weight. Even if you did need your full weight (Which again is highly unlikely) there is still no reason to believe that: 1) Your anchor could ever be found 2) Your anchor would be in any way noticeably altered 3) That that anchor would in any way point to your position, if it's on the line of trajectory (The most sensible place for an anchor to be) all it will do is confirm that you were somewhere on that line. Which is not even getting into the possibility of using something other than an anchor to brace yourself. A table, a column, a wall, another person? Plenty of ways around it. Put a nail on a piece of string, then go for a short walk and notice how many times you need to yank it into the air, most of the time you need a very slight nudge if anything. So do you think people would notice a nail rolling along the ground? Wax does so because he can mostly, but it'd be by no means necessary simply for a nail. It's a pretty big win if you have any other evidence, if the prosecution argues based on inaccuracy of tests the simple solution is to do more time-consuming but also more-accurate tests. Again you're latching onto one idea, I still think a nail would work but if it didn't it's not difficult to use something else. Wait til they're around food and use a knife, use someones earring, move something from somewhere else, using a nail is by no means necessary.

Random Stuff VI The Return of the Admins
Voidus replied to Zathoth's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Until corrected I choose to imagine this scene watched over by an approving Hoid, per my advice. (Even if corrected I'll probably still imagine it that way) Congrats Lark! -
Well in terms of actual size Australia's not that much smaller, could be because we only have about 8 major cities in the entire country though.

Gifters are pretty rare and information dissemination is not exactly great in the Reckonerverse, otherwise they would have discovered certain information about Weaknesses even longer ago. Plus a Gifter that is suitable for being sold would be potentially rarer. You need one with great utility but little in the way of personal combat abilities, that's a pretty niche powerset, the subset of Epics with that kind of power who is also a Gifter would be pretty minuscule. Additionally once Conflux says that I think there's a later point where Prof says that he did suspect Megan of being an Epic.

I don't know anyone in Australia who does that, I live in Adelaide and I've never once classified myself as an 'Adelaidean' or anything of that sort I just say that I'm from Adelaide. Might just be an American thing

Copy and paste into Quote boxes? Otherwise Quote a bunch of times but delete all the unrelated content in each quote as you address them.

CHAMP missiles all have a self destruct feature I believe, usually used for once they've finished knocking out designated electronics.

I believe it's a sarcastic statement of disbelief.

I'll try to dig up the quote but the metal comes from a Shard we know. There's also another WoB that it's not a metal Harmony knows so I highly doubt it's native to Scadrial.

"control your emotions. Discipline, your mind." Nope, not today. Today I'm going to cry like a baby. -
Depends if he would have followed her to the window or not, she wouldn't drag him along or anything once it became apparent the clinic itself wasn't under attack again.

If Trell was Harmony? Personally I'd be very surprised if that was the case.

An entire universe has just opened up to me, and i had no idea
Voidus replied to mthorp25's topic in Introduce Yourself!
Welcome to the forums! The Cosmere 101 thread is a good place to start, other than that I recommend browsing the Coppermind for some tidbits and if you really want to get into your research I'd recommend you browse Theoryland which is a repository of quotes from Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, Brandon's quotes in particular reveal a great deal of details not documented in any of his currently published works. Can I interest you in a welcome-cookie while you browse? -
Unless Brandon was deliberately misinterpreting the question then he meant that the Well itself is gone, not just the power of the Well.

I imagine Harmony has his own pool. Minor SoS spoilers

Not revealed in SoS but rather a WoB.

She'd still want to murder Arsenal and chop him into little pieces but she might at least forego dunking him in acid then.

Random Stuff VI The Return of the Admins

Indeed, just imagine that Wit is standing next to you and if you chicken out will make some suitably embarrassing quip. Alternatively if you'd quite like Wit to make a quip, imagine he's standing next to you and once you successfully ask him out Wit will make a suitably embarrassing quip. -

Mrs. Voidus might not mind but I absolutely despise vegemite in both taste and smell so not if I can help it. But we're in South Australia so naturally you drop upwards. Everything's crazy here. -
From a quick glance out the window she didn't, but she might have just been looking out the wrong window to easily see it if you want to have Baxter notice it and calm her down a bit. I think ignoring it til we get a reply from the PM is probably the way to go, it's easy enough to edit in noticing her and being about to say something before the missiles if necessary, thankfully with the missile attack Scribbler probably wouldn't even be that mad at Elsa anymore.
