  1. Avenge me, I beg of you. Maw's life had been hard. He had first been a skaa living under the Lord Ruler, a place no one wanted to be. He had worked hard on the farm and secretly taught himself to read and write. When he had been blackmailed into doing a secret group's dirty deeds, he felt his happiness in a vice. When they killed his son and wife, he felt despair like never before. He had taken his scythe and ended the group that controlled him. After that, the anger subsided, but the grief remained. He had worked with his town to drive out the evil that had plagued Blackwater. When Chid, who he'd come to have pride in, left to be a hero, Maw knew he couldn't stay either. He discovered the secrets to traveling worlds, and after many years, he made it to Nalthis. There, he met Aili. The gorgeous, sweet Returned had filled a hole in his heart, at least partially. After defeating the Pahn Kahl, they left again and traveled the cosmere. They made it to the Seventeenth Shard and joined their ranks. After some time, though, they discovered corruption. Hoid and that mist-cursed, bird-trapping islander, Second, killed Aili and drove Maw out. This time, rage took over. He became obsessed with Hate and tried to take over the other Shards. Blood had been spilt, but Hoid, in another of his forms, had stopped him again. At that point, Maw felt only numb. Why try? Everytime he did, he lost something too valuable. He decided to only survive, to ignore everyone and everything. Survival was the only point. When Maw watched both sides, that of Cultivation and Hoid, as well as that of Odium, run themselves into the ground, he felt joy for the first in a long time. It wasn't a happy joy, but it sparked the flame again. He began to feel disgusted with his actions of the last two centuries and decided to leave. He found Miral. An intelligent Hemalurgist who cared about everyone and who had an innate curiosity. Maw trained Miral in the arts of persuasion as well as combat. He taught him of the cosmere and its secrets. Now, Maw had sent Miral, his new son, off into space to try himself and to explore. He was excited for him. Through Miral, Maw would get to feel the thrill and joy of traveling again. He loved the boy. Maw received a transmission in the morning. After a single day aboard the ship, Miral, his new son, had been murderered. Brutally and without remorse. The traitors had left an innocent boy to die on his own, in a cold room in space. Maw lost it. He would never again send another in his place. He would do it himself. And he would rip those traitors limb from limb.
  2. Blaze, I recently saw one of the actor's, I think it was Grant Gustin's, tweet mentioning a crossover episode with arrow. I might be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Thea was the opposite for me. I liked her a lot at first, but don't really care for her any more. And Laurel's gone back and forth. I liked her in the beginning, then I didn't, now I do more.
  3. I nominate Morzathoth.
  4. Yes, you should PM Wyrm, but this thread is where the sign ups go too so that everyone else knows.
  5. Now I want to go watch Constantine.
  6. Yeah, I'll get to it after my Mistborn reread. I have read the LIghtbringer series and plan to read Night Angel soon, and I've read Rothfuss. McClellan is on my list, I'll add Brett and Ryan too.
  7. I recently read the first two books in the Gentlemen Bastards series and then I read the Dalinar preview from Oathbringer. So, when people were all commenting about how gorey it was, i was like "huh? Gorey?" And then I realized, yeah, I guess it was dark and gorey for Sanderson. Scott Lynch just dulled my senses.
  8. I'm also rereading WoA right now, and I understand what you mean, Twi. This book and the next don't have the quick, upbeat pace of the first. The second one is the hardest to get through. But then again, I love Mistborn, maybe more than SA now that I'm rereading it, and so I might be biased.
  9. This one is my favorite, with Szeth right behind in 2nd place. Syl is just hilarious here!
  10. These are awesome!!
  11. I'm of the same opinion as Wilson. I've also been looking at BB. But I also suspected him last time we ran this game and that didn't turn out accurate, so I'm going to hold off on a vote, but I'd like to hear from Kas, when he gets time, Burnt, and Lopen. I personally don't care too much if all the Hemalurgists report to the HI, but I think it's best if they do. The problem is that there very well could be a Traitor one.
  12. "Do I deck the tree with false blossoms before or after the rotten timbers?"
  13. Only if you get the accents right.
  14. I went as a college student who hung out on his apartment floor with some guys and wore a university t shirt. I think I win the Originality prize.
  15. My university's library has a lot of old stuff. Quite a few books, I can't even read the titles on the spines and half the pages almost fall out when you open it. And they don't have any Sanderson. They have a bit of Gaiman, GRRM, and Anne Mccaffrey, though.
  16. Oh storms. This is hard. Way too hard. Without magic, Dalinar obviously wins. With magic, Kelsier does. I think I'm going to have to go with Kelsier, partly so he can take down Vin next.
