    YKYASFWY put Sanderson references in your college essay.
  2. NameIess
    Nameess was confused.

    Except he did it illegally.
  4. NameIess
    It was such a great not-name. Perfect for a mercenary.

    Is it? Well, I was joking anyways. Politics is generally a bad topic to talk about unless you want to argue with people.
  6. NameIess
    Okay. What do we talk about. How about politics?

    (With Kholin blue highlights, of course)

    So Spoony hired Nameless to put down the rebellion.
  9. NameIess
    But it didn't work.
  10. NameIess
    And everyone hated it.

    His genocidal reign of terror was remembered with fear for centuries.
  12. NameIess
    And so the reign of the mad spork god began.

    . . . So? I mean, they would probably unload their metalminds when they were at ports or cities, but they also might just switch out metalminds completely. Their passengers and crew would probably all get assigned metalminds at the beginning of the trip, and they wouldn't swap unless someone lost their metalmind.

    Assuming that you created a spiritweb with the awakening, I think you would still have two different minds. Shallan's alters are separate in the cognitive, so multiple minds can share the same spiritweb.
  15. NameIess
    No one knew why. Fate had decreed it.

    I assume that each crewmember would have a medallion assigned to them. They may have had medallions in the smaller ships, but those are more akin to supplies on a lifeboat.
  17. NameIess
    Of course they're universal. I'm just asking why the sailors would all share metalminds, when they need to use them regularly.
  18. NameIess
    I think it would be easier than that. Nightblood took an impossibly abstract command in "destroy evil" from a person who was almost certainly not qualified to say what evil was, and managed to become what he is. Add to this the fact that awakened objects can read minds, and you don't necessarily have to have an exact image in your mind. I agree that you would have to be remarkably self-aware, but I don't think you would need to have a shardic level of imagination and understanding. A fifth-ideal Lightweaver, for example, could probably do it.

    I think that if you did hemalurgy on a fused, they would either die immediately or be able to heal using their powers. Hemalurgy basically rips a chunk off the soul, but that can be healed, similarly to a shardblade wound. If you stole a fused's powers, they would either die, as their powers and immortality are connected to each other, or their body would die, they would go more insane than they already were, and they would be reborn without their powers. If you knew what you were doing though, you could probably straight up steal their immortality.
  20. NameIess
    That was enough for 1/2-41 years as a spork.

    I don't think the command would be "that" hard to pull off. Looking at our only example of an awakened weapon, Nightblood, his command destroy evil failed (Sort of) because Shashara didn't stop to think "Hm. What is evil, and how do I explain such a concept to a sword?". Be me would be a much easier command, because not only are you an expert on the subject of who "me" is, you also have a perfect example of what it is. However, I do admit that you might need to be extremely self-aware in order to ensure that the awakened object matches your actual personality instead of what you view yourself as, but I don't think you would need a shardic level of power and intelligence. A lifeless awakened with that command would be really creepy, assuming the command worked. You could probably use the normal lifeless command, or maybe that command modified, and then just give it the order "Become me". Now I'm imagining a lifeless that slowly changes it's appearance to be a greyed-out version of you following me around, watching everything I do so that it can copy me.
  22. NameIess
    Do they share medallions? Why wouldn't each different sailor have a different metalmind?
  23. NameIess
    I was having a conversation in which I asked someone what their command would be if they were an awakened weapon, when I had a thought. Could you awaken metal with a command such as "Be Bob"? Obviously, the intent behind such a command would be almost impossible to pull off. After all, what and who is Bob? You would have to know absolutely everything about Bob, which would be almost impossible. However, if you were to use the command "Be me", I think it would be possible. So, what do you think? Is there some mad scientist on Nalthis with a collection of awakened tools that hold an exact imprint of his personality?
  24. NameIess
    Which exclusively farmed the ingredients of a Polyjuice potion.
  25. NameIess
    He did so by taking over Bob's criminal empire.
