    Congrats @Archer!! Well-earned!! To be honest, your raps and @Zath's raps as Spook (esp. with the High Imperial) have been my favorite in any of the rounds so far, so I'd say the voting has been true to form this far! Well-rapped!!

    Dang, @Archer, I really enjoyed that, and my character was the one getting roasted! Here's Lift!

    Yo, I’m’a get scholarship to King’s College, I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, with every word I amaze and astonish, The problem is I got a lotta brains but -- Oh, wait. Wrong heroic, prodigy orphan growing up on the streets. Sorry Lin Manuel Maranda! Haven't read @Archer's yet because I want to get my thoughts together first, I'm sure it's pretty darn good judging by his past performances, though. I'll have mine up sometime tomorrow morning!

    Thanks @Herowannabe!! Yours was super solid, too! What can I say, I like to live on the .......................... Edge. And also because everyone else's raps are also dang good.

    Haha that would've been great! "I'll see your Wyndle and raise you a Treebeard."

    Whaaaat?! I'm actually ready on time?? I was actually kind of hoping I'd be ready first so I could steal some of your potential "ick" rhymes @Herowannabe. Here's Lift!

    Ooh, I like this one. That's a cool juxtaposition. Flaring his tin all the time could be dangerous, but it allows him to see wonderful things. What's more important? I think that the beauty is worth it.

    Oh man, so many good books you still get to read! That's a great place to be.

    Dang, that's nuts! Dancing on the Edge.. Nice rap from you, too, @hoiditthroughthegrapevine! Everyone's been so good this round, I can practically see the Stormlight leaking from my computer screen.
  11. Edgedancer Jak
    @hoiditthroughthegrapevine proud to be making history with you, first tiebreaker! And @Sunspren and @Inklingspren, yours were both great, too! At least as good as the pancakes from Tashikk.

    No way, she'd Slick her nostrils before letting anyone close enough. Also, I just have to say, I love how the roasts are so brutal, and then our actual posts are so supportive. I'm glad everyone's real self is way kinder than their rapping persona haha.
  13. Edgedancer Jak
    Haha well-played. Man, great raps everyone! Lovin' it! Thanks for being patient!

    @Ashspren I'm sorry! What a time to go camping... If y'all give me an hour, I can do it! If not, totally understand. Just saw that @hoiditthroughthegrapevinegave up camping to do this... hahaha.

    @Ashspren So glad Lift wasn't taken yet!! Definitely Lift.
  16. Edgedancer Jak
    Oh yeah, I like Venli a lot after OB, too. Solid picks.
  17. Edgedancer Jak
    Man, these puns are getting Odious. Also, I'd like a spot in the next round!

    Ha @ElephantEarwax @StrikerEZ well, at this point in the series, getting spiked pretty much just lets you talk with Harmony, so that's not so bad. @I am Witless @StrikerEZ I've read all the published Cosmere books and novellas, and most of Brandon's non-Cosmere writings, too. Picking a favorite character is ridiculously hard. But since I have to pick today, I'll go with Dalinar. He's such a boss.

    Audiobooks are really nice for stuff like long drives, but if the book is good enough, I find myself wanting to read it instead so I can have my own experience with it. But if the book isn't good enough, then obviously it's not enjoyable that way either. So for me, audiobooks have to lie in this special zone of "I like it, but not enough that I have to physically read it myself." Not Cosmere, but his Alcatraz series fit that description for me perfectly.

    Totally have this kind of relationship with some people. When you catch yourself counting your heartbeats.

    Hello! I am here! It's funny, I picked the name "Edgedancer Jak" definitely to be tongue-in-cheek, but I actually like it more now then when I came up with it. Edgedancers are pretty awesome, and their Ideals are powerful. "I will remember those who have been forgotten." "I will listen to those who have been ignored." While I don't live those as well as I should, I would like to be that kind of person. One of the many things I love about Brandon's work is that so much of it has analogies to life and faith. It's not uncommon for me to finish one of his books and feel enriched, like I learned something valuable or gained a new perspective on some aspect of living. To be able to bring that to pass in readers while providing such engaging entertainment is truly special. Of course, the Cosmere is also stinking awesome. Yeah, the magic stuff is cool, but my favorite part of it is that holes that you don't even know are holes keep getting filled (c.f. Mistborn: Secret History). Man, I just love it. And there's so much more left! It sure is a good thing he's so darn prolific.
