Exactly.

The one in the DMs? The “forever” one? I mean, I did eventually find it, I think we should only use the counters for ones that haven’t been found at all

Uhhh, yes. No, you had 2 in your sig and then I found your hidden rowboat quote. My response was just to prove that I found it, wasn’t trying to be a reference. But your sig still has 2. Did you not add the rowboat one to your sig? also *wins*

Did this one not count?

Just 17? Like the song and all that?

What are the other references snuck by me?

So you’ve still got 1 and 1/17th past me? is the 1/17th a reference in and of itself because that’s just too meta.

*wins in a non-weird way*

Oh I’ll bring some despair, those’ll go well together

The real AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA was the BeanSharks we made along the way.

Oh me too.

The real BeanShark was the friends we made along the way.

I do not recognize the bodies in the water

I’m bringing doubt.

I mean, it still works.

Okay, this time I’m gonna record my thoughts as I read it, First impressions and all that. Dain’s giving me Kaladin + Dockson post-Kelsiers Death vibes. Kal but less depressed and maybe more professional? More veteran-y. I like him. I like it when authors do stuff like this. I really can’t explain it, but it’s good. Name’s a bit on the nose. Also, The Thrill. Lol. D&D party. D&D quests. Waterbendiiiiinnng Ok, first actual nitpick. Corrin is brand new and the way this is phrased makes it seem a little condescending. Like a superior talking to someone serving under them. Corrin just thought: I think Corrin should be a little more....impressed? I think Uia’s response can be exactly the same, but maybe Corrin should just say “Woah!”. Although, maybe Corrin wouldn’t really be that impressed because I assume Corrin’s had experience with magic before from what he says in the first chapter. Anyways, back to reading the rest. I like this paragraph, does a good job of showing the mild anxiety that comes with joining a new group. Makes everything seem more natural. All-in-all, I liked this chapter just as much as the first 2. Maybe better considering how I only had one tiny nitpick instead of 2. I’m very intrigued with this whole world, I have so many questions. If this was a published book, I don’t think I’d be able to put it down so far. I’ll read chapter 4 later however, as I gotta do some work now.

Well I was reading this wonderful piece of literature (have you heard of it @Channelknight Fadran?) and I saw the words “carriage driver” and immediately thought “HOID HOID HOID”.

Okay, wow, I really liked this. Like really really liked this. I do have a few nitpicky things, but overall easily 9.8/10. This gave me the wrong impression of Lacy’s character. When I read this for the first time, my impression was that she was some spoiled rich kid who could afford to leave behind their luggage and just get new stuff. Then we learn that they’re broke, homeless orphans, and the luggage isn’t just some stuff...it’s all of their stuff. I get maybe wanting to show her being impatient, but it comes across the wrong way, at least to me. This seems to be a reference to like DnD style character classes, but I have a hard time believing an actual army would organize it’s men like this. I think I’d need to know more about the war they’re fighting, like is it defensive? Are they invading? What’s the status of the country as a whole, economically? The method that the soldiers get equipment seems iffy too. How prosperous is this nation that they can afford to let its soldiers choose where to fight, how to fight, and what to fight with? It’s like the army signup papers are actually just a DnD character sheet. Those are just some little details that bothered me or seemed a bit inconsistent. Overall I really really liked it and I would very much want to read the rest. It seems that there’s some sort of worldbuilding magic stuffs going on with the weather in the form of “Waterlight” and that seems really cool. Is the weather on like a perfectly predictable cycle or something? That’s cool, I like that. All the characters seem really in-depth so far as well, really good writing. I hope you share more of the story because I’m genuinely enjoying it!

Omg I’m not alone. Here’s that conversation if anyone’s interested.

Oh, thank Adonalsium we don’t have a thread for that.

Fair enough. k ima try and do the unconscious now have fun peoples dont drown

Can you take that? I’m not sure you can take that.

Yay sleep. Well why isn’t all the coastal cities being flooded exciting? Something else must happen in the next 12 hours, because I know if the coast flooded right now it’d be exciting

Yes I got the Hamilton reference I’m not a pleb i may only have 2 Brian Cells but I’m not a pleb

A new Brandon book comes out in 12 hours?!?!? oh also the sun explodes?
