Honorless

Oh wow, thanks for putting me up there, I guess!

Obligators

Bingo! Yes, it's Quellion!

Ooh, Sasageyo is a good choice, Kikai Kitan as well. Hmm... I think I'd prefer Unravel for Oathbringer and One more time, one more chance for Way of Kings. Nandemonaiya would be beautiful for Way of Kings too. Love your pfp, btw, that's one of my all-time fav scenes in anime.

I think it's confirmed Looking forward to how Gavilar got anti-Investiture and what exactly Thaidakar was too late for, and what happened to the bodyguard dude, and what Gavilar's plans were

Dilaf & Paalm are really good guesses, though they're not exactly populist. A lot of the guesses aren't. I think that's the clue you should focus on. 1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters 2) This character is still good at maintaining power by populism (& other means too, of course) 3) This character has directly interacted with a piece of god 4) This character has committed multiple atrocities 5) This character hunted down magic users a few more guesses, then I'll reveal the answer

Nope, I don't think he's populist, not exactly

There was a communal account approved for a meme competition We could use either @17thShardCommunalAccount (no longer in use, I believe) or continue using @A person for this game, I think I think the RP accounts for Sanderson Eliminations work this way too. This could be a cool game idea, what's the harm in asking? @AonEne the forum game-iest and RPest of all mods, I summon thee!

Nope, but good guesses ...I really wasn't expecting this many characters to-nvm 1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters 2) This character is still good at maintaining power by populism (& other means too, of course) 3) This character has directly interacted with a piece of god 4) This character has committed multiple atrocities final clue 5) This character hunted down magic users

Oh wow! Also true but nope! 1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters 2) This character is still good at maintaining power by populism (& other means too, of course) 3) This character has directly interacted with a piece of god 4) This character has committed multiple atrocities

Possibly Adonalsium himself

Hahaha! True but no who I'm looking for 1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters 2) This character is still good at maintaining power by populism (& other means too, of course) 3) This character has directly interacted with a piece of god

That's a pretty good guess but nope!

Heh, good answers everyone, but nope! 1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters 2) This character is still good at maintaining power by populism (& other means too, of course)

Oh yeah... but nope

1) This character is not very well-liked by several people in-world, incl some important characters

The Shattered Plains

Granted, and it's coming fast too! Possibly at terminal velocity I wish for the ability to alter text like Ruin could

Hoid? I kid, I kid, hmm... is it Nohadon perhaps?

Huh, is this alt account @A person, a communal account of sorts that's supposed to be used for this game? Hmm... let's see... Aperson, iirc is some punny username on Discord aka LewsTherinTelescope on the Shard, but Chaos doesn't allow alt accounts. Hmm... A returning poster whose account got locked, perhaps? Somebody from Sel / Somebody from Scadrial? Returning after getting older than 13?

RoW

That is true, he did say the Fused learned to bind the Surges a bit later, he seemed to imply that happened after one or more Desolations, iirc. I remember that the stones said new powers came from old powers, so this might've been some kind of proto-Surgebinding, but the not the same thing, to the same scale.

Yup! Have you read Arcanum Unbounded? Mistborn: Secret History and Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell specifically. This one, I suspect, is made-up
