    Nameless figured that was a decently good idea. In any case, there wasn't too much time to plan, only two more posts if he counted right.
  2. NameIess
    Nameless knew this, of course, but was really only concerned about whether he should @ Ene.
  3. NameIess
    Nameless considered who to @.
  4. NameIess
    Spren are more than mere representations of human ideals. And originally, humans did not have those ideals. So early Radiants would have those powers.
  5. NameIess
    Nameless considered @'ing a whole bunch of people on page 2k.
  6. NameIess
    Honor is dead. His restrictions no longer apply.
  7. NameIess
    Again, it doesn't make narrative sense for all Truthwatchers to have the same level of futuresight that Renarin does.
  8. NameIess
    Nameless shrugged and created the cure for cancer, effectively eradicating a disease that had been a problem about 7 times in the history of TLT, if you were being generous.
  9. NameIess
    Nameless pointed out that it would be useless to cure cancer, as no one really existed, and they were all fictional beings created in the minds of real people.

    We don't even know that the stigma against futuresight ran that deeply back in the day. Modern-day Vorinism has mangled quite a few things. This epigraph from WoR: What other powers are there on Roshar besides Surges? No, he said it was about as useful as that for everyone besides a Bondsmith, who can manipulate them. Honor is about oaths. Not about needlessly binding everything. Again, source? Dawnshards are dangerous, yes, but necessary for planetary destruction? I dunno about that. Because it's not capable of planetary destruction while bound.
  11. NameIess
    What exactly the situation was, no one really knew.
  12. NameIess
    Nameless' mods judged Thaidakar for inwardly judging their name, and took away his Narration powers for two days.
  13. NameIess
    They didn't imply that. They just gave an ambiguous statement that could be interpreted that way. You have proof that Dawnshard Surgebinding is what destroyed the Shattered plains? Because seeing Connections allows them to manipulate them. It is part of a power that is insanely dangerous. What makes futuresight anywhere near that dangerous? Because unbound Surgebinding could destroy a planet? Just because you don't want someone to have a Death Star doesn't mean you want them to have nukes.
  14. NameIess
    But Nameless had the most powerful staff of all. He called it the skull basher 3000.
  15. NameIess
    Doesn't get the same message across. Bondsmiths can forge permanent connections, as evidenced by Ishar's attempt to steal Dalinar's bond to the Stormfather, and his connection to Odium as an adversary. And while making a connection to the sun might not work, Bondsmiths can manipulate Shards, amplify Surgebinding, and tons of other extremely dangerous stuff like that. The Dawnshards might be necessary for the greatest applications of Surgebinding, but are the greatest applications of Surgebinding necessary for planetary destruction? the Shattered plains say no. Why would it be? Radiants still have powers, so it's not like he was stripping all of their power away, merely that which he deemed too dangerous. Any Radiant+Dawnshard would be really really dangerous, regardless of whether or not Honor was binding their powers.
  16. NameIess
    This resulted in a slight increase in extra deaths, and also a slight downtick in monster attacks.
  17. NameIess
    Fortunately, Thaidakar didn't know how to kickstart the prophecy, so everyone was fine.
  18. NameIess
    Fortunately, Thaidakar was merely the only thing keeping the prophecy from coming to pass immediately. He could start it, if he so desired.
  19. NameIess
    AdoKho was an important part of the prophecy, as was Thaidakar. In fact, one might call Thaidakar the keystone of it.
  20. NameIess
    Which was important, because a mysterious evil figure wanted to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.
  21. NameIess
    So what other word would you use? Connect the surface of a planet to the sun? Source? Why restrict something that is both extremely useful against Odium and also poses little threat for destruction on a large scale?
  22. NameIess
    Meanwhile, Mythos was being attacked by dragons.
  23. NameIess
    Yeah. He foresaw that things would go to Damnation after Mishram was bound, and feels really guilty. He doesn't have to have literally seen the future to use that word. What other word is their to describe it? Predicted? Doesn't have the same weight. Guessed? Again, doesn't have the same weight. All I'm saying is that there are other interpretations of that gemstone archive other than 'all Truthwatchers could see the future, but Honor bound their powers' Then why is it bound? Honor bound the surges to prevent the destruction of Roshar. How would futuresight destroy a planet?
  24. NameIess
    This was a test of AdoKho's patience, as Nale's handbook was awful. Nin himself had much better teaching techniques.
  25. NameIess
    So AdoKho killed Nin and took the hamburger from the burning wreck of his lair. Or he tried to. What actually happened was Nin beat him up and took him as an apprentice.
