    "Nyneave was supposed to be annoying. Most of the Aes Sedai were. That's what makes Dumai's wells so satisfying."

    "Yeah? Well maybe some of us appreciate the value of spending some time to focus on the characters that aren't the singular focus of the series. Airsick lowlander."

    Nameless gasped. "Book three? that one's one of the best in the series! Mat's awesome in that book. How could you dislike it?"

    "Well, haven't we all? Say, have you read Wheel of Time? That was finished by Brandon." nameless looked around for doctors warily, reaching into his bag and pulling out a complete set of the WoT series. "I have it here if you'd like to read it."

    "Doctors? I think Thaidakar's cured. He's playing Minecraft instead of reading a Sanderson book."

    "mhm?! What kind of an answer is that? This is a serious topic!"

    "You know, speaking of spikes, what's your opinion on voluntary hemalurgy? I think that, similar to organ donation, allomancers should have the option to donate their powers"

    Nameless leaned down next to Rond, feeling for a pulse. "Guys! He doesn't have a pulse!" He started cpr, pointing at one of the people in the crowd. "You, call 911. Tell them there's a guy who's having a heart attack due to," Nameless glanced at Rond's slit throat. "Blood loss from a slit throat."

    "Oh, sorry. I could've sworn Rond was here." Nameless disappeared, reappearing next to Rond. "Hey, you want to come to a party?"
  10. NameIess
    Nameless waved. "I came to invite Rond to a party. Is he free?"
  11. NameIess
    "Hm. As soon as I finish decorating and handing out the invitations."

    I feel that I did not modify my initial assertion, but if you don't want to argue, neither do I. As for cookies, you are talking about chocolate chip butterscotch cookies, right? Because any other cookies aren't real cookies.

    Nameless nodded. "But don't worry about that! If you come to my party, you won't have to worry about the plot at all! You can just watch it all go down while munching on some cake. Did I mention that someone else will be doing the catering?"

    Nameless popped in with an invitation. "Oh. Is this a bad time? I can come back later."

    Meanwhile, Nameless was putting up the decorations for his party.

    Nameless shrugged and replied that it looked like they were to him. At least insofar as the Witherlord was concerned.
  17. NameIess
    Nameless explained that it was an invitation to the end-of-the-world party, where everyone could watch the Derka/Consultants coalition strike at the Witherlord.

    Nameless handed Doomslug an invitation to his party.
  19. NameIess
    The party was officially titled "Nameless' watch-the-world-end party"

    The note was an invitation to a party.

    Nameless shook his head and handed Shadow a new note, this time warded against narratorial influence.
  22. NameIess
    Nameless opened a portal and handed Shadow another note, this time inscribed on metal.
  23. NameIess
    This made Nameless quite sad.
  24. NameIess
    Nameless tapped Shadow on the shoulder, then handed him a piece of paper and disappeared.

    The 'no true Scotsman' fallacy is, according to wikipedia: "No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their universal generalization from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly.[1][2][3] Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and counterexamples like it by appeal to rhetoric.[4] This rhetoric takes the form of emotionally charged but nonsubstantive purity platitudes such as "true", "pure", "genuine", "authentic", "real", etc.[2][5]" And in order for it to be committed the following three conditions must be met: not publicly retreating from the initial, falsified assertion offering a modified assertion that definitionally excludes a targeted unwanted counterexample using rhetoric to hide the modification I didn't make an initial universal generalization. I put forth the definition that I personally assign to the term 'Christian'. I didn't modify my definition to specifically target an unwanted counterexample, and I didn't use rhetoric to hide any modifications. Now, I do understand your point, I think. You're saying that me stating my definition of Christian does nothing to stop the people that I believe shouldn't be associated with Christianity from being associated with Christianity. And I agree. The modern definition of Christian is quite far off from my definition. To put it bluntly, I was just trying to give some insight as to what group of people I personally believe are going to heaven.
