  1. Danke.
  2. Agree, the age diference is to great (Same reason why Jasnadin have a poor chance too) =) That and the fact that in Kaladin X Teft there is to many "spears" and to few "shields" if you catch my drift
  3. Well, it's possible. But remember that the Shins have problems to obtain metal (they don't mine because it's Unhloy), so i's possible that the sword are a rare there, given the fact that they don't care much for war and the precius metalmuch be used to create fram tools and, etc. And apparently the Shins have a very good Martial Art so like Szeth said one time: "The sword aren't his weapon he was the Weapon" =)
  4. Indeed, the difference in materials really complicate a comparation. But even so I can see another ways to solve the matter like a hard regulamentation in the manufacture and commerce of glass ( not that the "glass problem" really matter, this is so tertiary that will never be relevant in the book). =) Shardlet friend you have a sharp mind. Another thing that hit me are, how much cost to buy a single bread in US? Something around 10 or so cents, correct ? If you use the bread was a base (1 clear chip per bread) a brigdeman and even a soldier would receive for month only a few "dollars" as payment that is really a pittance.
  5. Jasnah for sure must be always aware of potential assassin, give the following facts: 1- Be a Alenthi princess - Political enemies 2- Be a heretic - Religion enemies 3- Be a surgebinder - DARKNESS "The Terible" That put any group or person sightly suspect in her radar, what make a single Ardent assassin a better move than a group of assassins.
  6. Many modern coins cost more to be produced than their face value. I my country to produce a 10 cents coin it cost close to 25 cents. This wiki page show that something similar occur in the US. The US Mint reported that in fiscal year 2010 the unit cost of producing and shipping one-cent coins was 1.79 cents—more than the face value of the coin.[40] By 2012, this figure increased to two cents because of the cost of materials and production. This is partly due to the significant rise in global metal demand and prices.[4] When copper reached a record high in February 2011,[41] the melt value of a 95% copper penny was more than three times its face value. As of September 14, 2012, a pre-1982 penny contained 2.50904 cents' worth of copper and zinc, making it an attractive target for melting by people wanting to sell the metals for profit. In comparison, post-1982 copper-plated zinc cents have a metallurgical value of only 0.56018 cents.[42] The Secretary of the Treasury currently has authority to alter the percentage of copper and zinc in the one-cent coin if needed due to cost fluctuations.[40]
  7. I stand corrected, Thanks again Mr. Peter. Ops, I jumped the gun a little bit so =) But by the bright side we now have the release date and the date that he will realy finish. So no hard fellings guys And we still can hope that Mr. Sanderson could keep failing to write a smaller book than WOK and add another few chapter. I heard that Dalinar could gain a couple more chapters Just Saying
  8. There is some logic in this kind the date sytem? Or it's only a cultural thing. I ask this because i really never understood why in the seven hells put the months before the days, to me it always looked a very odd choice. (funny cultural diferences )
  9. And talking about showing age =) And yes in old and long forget drawer If anyone want learn play magic to beat Sanderson in one of this signings, there is a app called "Wagic" that do the trick very well. By the way anyone know if he has a rule like "beat me and you can read a ARC copy of WOR" ? That would be nice.
  10. I think that Kaladin mention that glass aren't expansive but aren't cheap either, so it's is possible that there are glass blowers in the camps, after all that place is almost like a city already =)
  11. Didn't know that =) Tks Here we only use dots to separete big numbers like this R$1.000.000,00 (one million)
  12. 91.67 per hour? Just a word =)
  13. If she didn't know that the spreen are the shadow thing, I don't think she was able to soulcast after all, before you are able to use a surge you must to have a connection with a spreen. See Kaladin, Shallan exemples, first "bond with spren" later use a surge. Well that are my impression at least =)
  14. o.O +1100 pages in a day ? 1100pg/24h=45.833 pages per hour, your are a machine man =) I will read in a week or so, I have to study and work....... and sleep, eat,..... Edit. Tks again Shardlet
  15. It's possible, and for sure would explain why Shallan had dificult to find Jasnah, but that remain to be proved =) After all if Jasnah allways appeared without warning and at very distant places, that for sure, would be suspicius and she is very aware that there are people wacthing her. Edit: Ninja'd . And by the way, I always remember of Hoid speech about novelty when i'm ninja'd (now I'm derivative, don't I?)
  16. named "DARKNESS" the PS: Sorry I couldn't resist =)
  17. Apparently she didn't discovery her powers until after Gavilar death, see WOR prologue to clarify that. So if she was present worst scenario she would be killed (and best scenario Szeth would fall in love with her, correct Moogle ?
  18. Make sense that they are "originally batteries for surgebinders" and with time they lost this utility and begin to be "only" the curency. But I think that in a planet that is possible create any metal(soulcasters I'm lookking at you), gold and silver coins aren't the best way to run a monetary system (this metals just have value because of their rarity). In roshar, apparently, there are much more gems that in earth and gems can't be soulcasted so kind make sense use them as curency =)
  19. Hello friends to everyone that don't follow tweet, I bring good news =) Brandon tweeted that he finished Word of Radiance (kind) and confirmed the release date =) Brandon Sanderson ‏@BrandSanderson2h So yes, the March 4th release date is pretty much set in stone now. It could shift by a week or so if marketing decides, but not much more. Brandon Sanderson ‏@BrandSanderson2 h For those wondering at Words of Radiance progress, I sent in the first chunk for copyedit yesterday. That means we're entering production. Michael Montazeri ‏@mamontazeri2h @BrandSanderson What does production mean? Brandon Sanderson ‏@BrandSanderson2h @mamontazeri Copyediting, typesetting, all of the things that take it from digital file to book on the shelf. And unfortunally WOR are bigger then WOK (such a shame) Brandon Sanderson ‏@BrandSanderson2 h I promised Tor that Words of Radiance would be shorter than Way of Kings. The new scene I added to day made it officially longer. Sigh. So, to soon to make arrangement to the release party ? PS: To everyone how gonna buy the hardcover, it's time to hit the gym and prepare yourself for lift an +1100 pages book for days =) Now it's official =) Brandon Sanderson ‏@BrandSanderson47 m Just sent the last revision of Words of Radiance to my assistant so he can format it and send it off to Tor. The book is officially done!
  20. Jasnah x Taravangian no =) And nobody come do defend Kaladin X Sly yet too, at seems that the discusion are very conservative today. EDIT. Forget what I said
  21. Finally an accomplice I'm so set in this theory that I could bet =) And well, Kaladin will be Knight(in a probably very shine armor) and Jasnah is a pricess(that probably will have a veryyyy shine armor too). So they kind fit the trope Princess find a Knight in shine armor and fall in love. Just saying =)
  22. Lol, now make more sense, I almost can see he saying "I want my father back, you son of a bitch" and driving the spear in his long date enemy =) Beware DARKNESS revenge comes in your direction =)
  23. I think the plate in this case must go to the king sons or family as a heirloom.
  24. Adolin got his for his mother family =) Now that a think about the topic Dalinar won several plates in his life, if he wasn't so honorable he coud have, let's say half dozen shardbears in his army, or some reserve armor. I'm now curious to know exactly how received the plates that Dalinar won.
