This is a necro. A worthy necro.

That means a lot  I didn't expect this thread to still have any replies, so thanks for the pleasant surprise.

he broke free,

Kaladin will obtain all ten honorblades, but will throw them away after having a realisation that he should be a bit nicer to lighteyes.

beaks that littered

What about a Shard of Taxation?  In order to retain your powers you need to pay it a proportion of your income...

So I was poking around and saw that at the top of each thread was a dropdown which reads "Showing all posts".  When you click on this drop down, you get the option of hiding posts which are made by people below a selected reputation threshhold.  Amazingly <to be said in an extraordinarily exagerated manner>, these thresholds correspond to the reputation rankings.  I then noticed that at the bottom of the list there was -100, -25, -20, -15, -10, -5, -2.  Well, -2 qualifies one for Negaspren, and -10 to -14 qualifies one for Hoed.  But, I have no idea what -5, -15, -20, -25, and -100 are.

I remember seeing that -25 to -100 was 'Rotting Chull Carcass'.  The name is kinda evil, but I imagine anyone with that level reputation has committed some terrible crimes against the Cosmere anyway

Way of Kings: Kaladin single-handedly taking down a Shardbearer and when he leaps the chasm.  

Mistborn: When Kelsier beheads the inquisitor (and says something cool at the same time )

Other stuff: Typically, Dumai's Wells.  Also from WoT, Rand on Dragonmount and when Rand balefires that whole castle.  There's lots of others in WoT.  

Jost and his family will be referenced throughout the series as a group of troublemakers whilst making one brief reappearance whilst Kaladin returns to Hearthstone in order to protect it from a completely isolated Voidbringer attack.

At that point Sazed was already injured, while they'll be fresh out of the... wherever Skaa crews hang out

And don't forget: there's ten of them dude!  They wouldn't have to appreciate their own face getting bashed if they have nine others to back them up.

Still gives you some freakish skills of pre-emption.

10 points - 10x Zinc Ferrings

A completely underused power in the series so far.  The only scene we see it used is Sazed vs Marsh where Sazed dodges an axe thrown by an Inquisitor, meaning the axe is probably moving pretty damnation fast.  Ten of these guys trained would be virtually impossible to handle - they could work out your every move before you could cause any damage.

Yeah, here's mine.  It's filled with odd stuff I've picked up over the years so it's not fantasy-heavy to my shame XD 

Also, I'm getting scared by the amount of people with multiple bookcases

Let us end this discussion; you all know what is truly the greatest invention ever.

 

Me.

 

You know it in your hearts to be true.

thats questionable.

And my answer would be the book - whoever thought you could get so much stuff into one place?

[14:51] <lys> Mmm

[14:51] <lys> Warm and has a nice kick

[14:51] <lys> Wish I had some sausage to put in it....

Masquerader? Bit unwieldy though. Veiler?

Veiler sounds good.  Maybe waner?  That would be referring to them when they fill age.

[20:28] <Lyrebon> What really helped was my mother allowing me to play with dirt and eat grass.

Hey, I definitely think the new layout is an improvement and I expect it to grow on me even more once I've got used to it.  I noticed one small thing: the 'reputation' and 'about me' sections on profiles now come up with an error message.  

Great work! 

Could this mean that Yolen had been the ur-planet where Adanalsium was the only Shard.

/Speculation:

And now it grows immoderate random and fantastic: (Premise: We don't know whether Yolen still exists ->) There was something like a Big Bang, Adanalsium was shattered into the different shards and Yolen was shattered into the different planets in the cosmere.

/end of speculation

Ohh, when I read this I thought: "You should have known/remembered that." :-)

The Dragonsteel series continues post-shattering (the first two books take place while Adonalsium is still around), so it's fairly likely that Yolen is still around after the shattering. Still, I like the idea

You are on Earth, there is no stormlight and your honourspren starves to death leaving you to watch in helpless agony.

I wish I was a Dakhor Monk

Sacrificed on day one.

I wish the cuffs on my shirt would do all the work for me.

There are some strange accents on this thread

Well Brandon says it's the best writing he's ever done, so that might explain it. I feel the same way too, and in my first read I was skimming chapters of Shallan and Dalinar to get to Kaladin chapters. For me, later rereads have been about finding about the setting, which is a really good one.

You've Awakened my pun side! Ah, I can't think of any right now, I'll Return later.

I'm from Warwickshire in the UK, but I've only lived here for about a year. I used to live in Birmingham, which is around 30 miles away from where I live now, and it's definitely a lot better here. I live in the countryside, so hardly anyone passes through here except for the people living in a few houses nearby. The bad thing here is that to see any friends I have to travel for miles, and no one can ever find where I live

The one I've seen with ridiculous similarity is the Thirteen Forsworn in the Inheritance Cycle. I mean, there's thirteen of them and they're basically called the same thing

I believe, and please correct me if I am wrong, that as for living a long life, he is not the only one, and I believe that it is an effect of world hopping, as elantris takes place thousands? Of years before mistborn, yet fall galladon and demoux travel together to TWoK, which takes place hundreds of years later, so Hoid couldn't be the only one to do that

Supposedly, Galladon would live a long life because he's an Elantrian and it's theorised Demoux is compounding atium.
