  1. I like this idea, so how about: King of the Wind(s)
  2. I'm pretty certain that it has been cracked. I remember seeing the translations for that image. If somebody else remembers the thread I was thinking of, can they post the link? I'm having trouble finding it.
  3. Liberty starts to amble along after Corvus, but, after processing what he had said, remembers that he had left his bow and arrows behind. He says, "So... the tomorrow," and heads off. He goes down the wrong street at first, but before turning around, he taps his zincmind to make sure that he's not being followed. The rebellion seemed to have good intentions, but to trust them fully would be foolish. For all he knew, they might decide that the money he had back at his own hideout would be "needed" to pursue those "good intentions." Looking around, he saw...
  4. After taking a little while to realize that Wibblo was referring to him, Liberty protests, "No... that's not a... what for me. It's a good thing... I need that it's good." Liberty turns back to Corvus, accepting the job. "What this thing is... easier than think... I can do it. You understand... I'm not of same way I seem."
  5. Liberty nods at this, slowly considering whether to accept the job or not. "Hmm... money is a good number of it. I will... can do this, but I need the... told what you have us for working with. And against."
  6. "Talents of me... which you know? Of us? Don't know... they have talents of which? Only of me... talent known, but... to you, how?"
  7. "Wine... maybe, but my thinking... slow. A... not risk them. What are... you know about me? What is done important you said?" Liberty sits down at the table.
  8. Sighing, and momentarily halting his storage of thought, Liberty replied in a much clearer voice. "I'm fine. Don't worry if I seem sick. That's just how I usually look. The back you said? Thanks." Without waiting for a reply, Liberty followed where the other two men had gone, gradually shifting to filling his metalmind again as he walked.
  9. The men blocking Liberty's path moved to the back of the inn, so he stepped in and spoke to the man they had been talking to. "I'm here for a... meeting. Was... were... those others for the same?"
  10. Liberty struggled to identify who he should talk to. He figured that if he could just get inside, it might become more clear. He spoke to the two men blocking his way, collecting his thoughts with some difficulty. "I need... you... well... the side... out of the way. I'll get through the door. Please?"
  11. Liberty walked down the walkways, gradually making his way to the inn. It took him longer than it should have, but such was the price of storing thought. A full metalmind would be worth the cost. A interesting shop caught his eye, but he forced himself to continue past. Looking forward, he saw that he had reached the inn while he was distracted. His mind's interpretation of time sure was strange. He opened the door...
  12. Karger's confusing acceleration with velocity. Because of the law of conservation of momentum, you will slow down if you increase your mass while moving. If your mass doubles, your speed will half. However, in this situation involving Lashings, that would not come into play because you are not changing mass while moving. A Lashing defines an acceleration, not dependant on the mass off the object. The mass only influences the amount of Stormlight it takes. If you were to Lash yourself while tapping an ironmind, you would accelerate as normal, and you would have, as you suggested, a large amount of energy. Sadly, because of the need for stormlight as a fuel, this would still not work as you hope. Let's say 1 Lashing gives 10 m/s^2 of acceleration (about Earth gravitational acceleration). Let's also say you have enough Stormlight to Lash your mass (50 kg) once for 1 s. Without tapping the ironmind, you will be travelling at 10 m/s after that second and have 2500 J of kinetic energy. If you tapped your ironmind enough to double your mass (to 100 kg), you would then only have enough Stormlight for .5 s of a single Lashing. After that time, you would be going at 5 m/s and have 1250 J of kinetic energy, which is less than before. Let's say you were filling the ironmind instead for a mass of 25 kg. Your stormlight would last 2 s, after which you would be going at 20 m/s and have 5000 J of kinetic energy. In all three of these situations, your momentum is the same, 500 kg m/s. So, in a vacuum, in terms of Stormlight efficiency, you're better off storing weight if you want as much energy as possible. Another factor to consider is that outside of a vacuum, decreasing your mass also decreases your terminal velocity. Also, even in close quarters, you're better off using a double lashing than doubling your mass, since both will take double the Stormlight, but a double lashing means twice the end velocity, which is more important for kinetic energy (half of mass times velocity squared).
  13. Hmmm... I guess I'll see how this goes. I'll be a twinborn with a-electrum and f-zinc. Supplies: electrum vials, zinc metalminds, a bow, and arrows with obsidian heads
  14. In Brandon's recent AMA, he says that Jasnah gets only a few viewpoints and not until later in the book. I think that this places her pretty firmly in group 3, although a lesser part in group one is technically still possible.
  15. I'm having trouble finding the video. Can anyone provide a link?
  16. I don't want to continue the off-topic conversation (so probably don't reply to this post; not that it encourages much discussion anyway), but I thought that it would be fitting to mention in the context of this conversion that I found it amusing how the profile pictures of @Pathfinder and @Honorless are of opposing allomantic symbols: atium and lerasium.
  17. I'm confused... I can define "fairy," but I don't think they exist.
  18. You're in luck:
  19. She seems to be defining God as one she considers worthy of determining her morality and deserves to be worshipped.
