  1. How is she a child in turns of relationship consent but not in turms of her consent to kill people? Having a black and white morality system is not a sigh of immaturity but a sigh your not a modern relativist. Adults also look for ameration what do you think motivates actors and singers? I am passionate because you are slandering the best character in the stormlight achieve Kalidin stormblessed. Your words turn him into abusers exploting a child soldier. If she is not old enough to consent to a relationship then she can't consent to kill. It's that simple.
  2. My words were not meant as a attack but to Express shock and incredulity upon hear sush a clear false statement. Yes do think we have read different books or rather I think you haven't read the stormlight achieve at all. Syl has not had the mind of a child since the end of book 1. Since then she has always acted like a adult (how be it one with hdhd and the natural ignorance of human interaction that all Spren have regardless of age). Think about it for a second. Would kal (who's own brother died a child soldier) not be reluctant to take a child into battle much less kill people with her? And what of the other Spren. Syl is the oldest honnor Spren. Dose this mean the rest are toddlers? Plenty of adults are love praise as well this means nothing. And her clothing has been more mature since book 3 start.
  3. My guess is 2. 2 seems to play a particular important role in the story.
  4. What is UTol? And where is it a house hold name?
  5. Your logic is flawed, You're equating Strong will with assertiveness. These are 2 very different concepts. Yumi Has strong will but not Assertiveness. Painter has a weak will but it's very assertive. It wasn't the strong will that made it impossible for a machine to control them it was their investiture. They are strong will made sure that they formed Themselves back together without the help of the machine.
  6. Syl is not mentally a child. Are you crazy?
  7. Just wait.

    Isn't he though? The honor blades are parts of honors own soul.
  9. While I curtain that mosh will get a redemption arc. And I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Until that time just what to say storm moash.
  10. It's great I just wish I could afford all the DLC's. Arsley as far as space civ simulators this is as good as it gets. Just wish there was some way to make a machine cult.
  11. You are misunderstanding the point. If I kill a nobody it's not an assassination regardless if it's right or wrong. More importantly by kill someone legally it's also not an assassination. Regardless if it's right or wrong. Assassin has a meaning, It's not just a bad person or someone who kills. It's someone who kills someone important illegally. The skybreakers were not doing these things. So therefore they were not assassins. You can call them killers if you want but not assassins.
  12. Do you have the newest one?
  13. I'm not sure it seems to me that any government system could work with the oaths as they don't seem to have any political implications well maybe not will shapers but the others should be fine.
  14. Someone should make a era 4 cosmere mod for Stellaris
  15. Dose the ck3 way of kings mod count?
  16. Ok I got ya, I can sort of see that. El Does talk about ruling to humans. Don't see though how having him the champion helps odium. But then this probably a lot we don't understand about him ( Aside from his name, And a little bit of his thought process and personality we saw in the epigraphs, We know next nothing). So perhaps it will make sense as we learn more information about him. Honestly this makes me want to go over the Epigraphs again.
  17. Really? Im confused? All the foreshadowing seem to indicate the opposite. Odium said himself that the contract was bad and but he could see away out with future sight. That seems to foreshadow some sort of twist not a odium victory.
  18. Murder is defined as unlawfully killing someone. Which is not what they were doing they were very careful to always follow the law. More importantly as your own definition States has to be someone important politically, For pay or Ideological purposes. The people Lawfully executed by the skybreakers we're all nobody's. So no the skybreakers were not assassins. This is our world so what law could they be following that would allow for assassination? And you're wrong the 2st ideal is to just follow whatever laws are in effect where they are. Then the 3rd ideal is to follow one particular law above all else I don't think you understand the skybreakers the whole point is that they don't trust their own morality to tell them right from wrong so they follow an external code or law. So saying that they wouldn't follow a law because it's immoral makes no sense. The whole point is that they don't trust their own ability to tell what is and is not moral.
  19. We have no idea how the 4th idea works you're trying to jump to conclusions. They are least likely Since in our society assassination is illegal. They weren't acting as assassins they were acting as Officers of the law and bounty hunters. Nothing they did could be qualified as assassination.
  20. Not sure what being an engineer has to do with Setting people free?
  21. I did, I said multiple times that The wind runners, Skybreakers, And Edge dancers, We're unlikely to form into Accession organizations. Lightweavers could And some other orders.
  22. But that's my point, You might find an individual windrunner who could justify assassination once without violating his oaths, I do agree with you there. But you argument falls down when you try to justify it as being the norm that the Windrunners Would play in society as a whole. That implies That you need more than just one individual justfying assassination because someone is evil or something. You need a lot of people to justify assassination in general, Not just in a few rare circumstances.
  23. Read the original prompt we're not looking at what a Individual knight would do once, But what role they would play in society overall. I was thinking about the other oaths Not the 1st oath at all. I do agree with you that it does not conflict the 1st oath. Again we're talking about the role of the orders in society, Not what 1 member could do once. Sure they might be able to justify killing someone in one individual circumstance. But justify enough to do it as a profession continually for the entire order?
  24. Could you? I doubt it. It has to be something you actually believe not to something you say. Kalidin said many times that killing the king was best for the nation, That it was justified . That in the long term would protect people. But ultimently he just couldn't believe it, He was saying those things to try to convince himself and it wasn't working. If he had been more self deluded it might have, But I can't see that as a norm.
  25. He never went through with killing Amram. His powers could have immediately stopped afterwards for all we know. Didn't Brandon Sanderson say that that only applies to International waters? I vaguely remember the wab but not the specifics. In any case they unlikely to swear to a pirate code unless already criminals, Criminals are unlikely to become Skybreakers. Religious law you might have a point, But I'm not sure how many real world religions allow for assassination. Islam did have an order of a Religious order of assassins, But I'm not sure how many of the other religions would be so accepting of assassins. In either case we're talking about their profession not something that they would do once. I'm sure you could create circumstances where any Order could assassinate someone once. But to do so continually for money? How many orders do you think would be comfortable with that. Lightweavers maybe, or the elsecallers But certainly not all of them.
