Wikipedia says otherwise

aka the word of god

it could represent the duality of the old-magic, boon-and-curse, as it is...

and the symbols down the side are of a similar nature to the surge symbols (and the 'evil' ones) Also; why, when the Honor map/chart/graph is surrounded by the Herald's faces, is the Evil one surrounded by a woman? Maybe its Cultivations graph?

According to this thread there was 9 other Mistborn.

it might be one of those evolution-type things: the first animal that figures the powers out has an advantage, and thus survives longer, meaning more kids, who probably have the power too, and are smart enough to work it out, and thus everything else dies XD

Brown or White for me, though with the next Age coming, there should be a new one for invention and experimentation, or even the devolution of the Tower and the Ajah's into the Academies and stuff. Centralised doesn't work, as we've seen they just become insular and bad.

They're ice creams lol

Well lets see if I can remember that far back (>.>) I'm a fan of long series and I'd run out of scifi's that I could find that looked interesting, so I headed into my local Waterstones (I guess) and saw this great swathe of thick black books with coloured, numbered headers. I must've taken a look at EotW and noticed that I'd never heard of the author (not that I was much into the world of authors at the time, mainly just avoiding the popular culture ones). And like you say, the rest is history. It was instantly my favourite story of all time, vastly surpassing LotR and all the other stories I'd read up to that point, and any other story I'd heard, seen or experienced. I can't remember the first read (up to 11:KoD) but I enjoyed it so much that I jumped in the net to find Dragonmount and ended up spending numerous hours posting in Fiddles, much to the distress of my schoolwork no doubt. I grew away from there, never really sticking to an already established (and sprawling) community. But when the news hit that RJ had died, I was truly saddened. I guess I must've started frequenting there a little more again. I then found the wiki and spent another gratuitous amount of time on there. I think I ignored TGS for a good period, into early 2010, where I finally succumbed to the temptation of a new Wheel of Time and discovered that, OH MY GAWD it was UHHMAAZZZZINNNNNNGGGG! I went and devoured Mistborn, which too was amazing. I ended up pre-ordering ToM, (which I read in one night XD) and waited patiently for WoK. I got Elantris and Warbreaker for Christmas and read them in days...and here we are, jumping up and down waiting for AoL and AMoL. Thanks to Brandon and his fans I've discovered Malazan, Rothfuss, and Hundred Thousand Kingdoms just for the start. And OH MY GOD MORE BRANDON <3 <3 <3 <3 XD

yeah its not like I've ever caught one, or heard of anyone catching one. dont worry, its not like I like the suite itsself, or even the operating system it all runs on lol

I like the ribbon and I guess you'll be hating the idea they had for Windows 8: using the WP7 idea of sidebars much more extensively since most people have widescreens.

well, that last point is a misnomer, there's malware, it's just much rarer.. ChromeOS (or ChromiumOS) might be an alternative for the web-only things. But I agree, linux is far better XD (yeah I'm a fanboy)

one hand pushing, the other hand spiking!

Maybe that's where god-metal spikes come in? but yeah lots of spikes. The hole point is that spikes twist the soul of the spiked, so the bear would become more aware? much like Mistwraiths and the twisting of Koloss

it's gonna get a little to recursive up in here hey there Sir, enjoy your stay

the ribbons in office are good, but I try to use windows as little as possible lol

smooth jazz wins the day

That might have been Eric uploading the TWG stuff, since it happened over at the wiki and the twg. subdomain and probably the RPG too.

I just got it again, on the board index...the first time I loaded the page EDIT: and again when posting this message

that's just awesome, thanks for sharing

I was just about to go stalk you....but you're already mine

a nice quick read is Shade's Children, by Nix... I remember reading it back when I was in school, was pretty awesome.

just (re)read Shade's Children by Nix, which was a great little story (read it in about 6 hours XD) and today I read the sequel to Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, which was pretty awesome too

it could just be Ruin's effect on the minds of the hermalurgy-ed staff members
