    Yeah, but I've been more active, and people always forget me in @'s. (Except for in The Game thread.)
  2. NameIess
    Can I nominate myself for the most forgotten sharder?
  3. NameIess
    Then the move intimidated the Philanderflaffles into turning the GhanderOgres back into Ghanderflaffles.

    We don't actually know this. We know that the Skybreakers didn't have any Radiants of the fifth ideal, during a time where there was no pressure to do so. We know that the ideals are difficult, but we have yet to see anyone fail to say them. Windrunners do not only protect those who are being attacked. They protect those who cannot protect themselves. Kaladin does protect by killing, but he's in a war. He is justified in killing to protect, at least in my opinion, as long as he doesn't take it too far (killing civilians, surrendering enemies, etc.). This leads me to my biggest problem with your fifth oath. This is based off of one ideology. Yes, each of the orders have a specific theme, but they also have exceptions to that rule. For example, Brandon said that a Skybreaker could swear to something like the Pirate Code. Their quest could be to plunder the royal Thaylen reserve, and their fifth ideal could be where they decide that they can write their own pirate code. With your proposed final Windrunner ideal, however, only Windrunners who believe that they should not protect through killing unless there is no other option would be able to swear the final ideal. The order that competes for the title of best soldiers would be filled with Batman's. Windrunners would refuse to kill Fused unless they had to, as the Fused would kill another Parshman to come back to life. The Windrunners would be more strict and exlusive than the Skybreakers.

    But this consultant was incompetent, and stole their money and ran away.
  6. NameIess
    Feel free to!
  7. NameIess
    So they tried to find someone who could turn them back into Ghanderflaffles.
  8. NameIess
    The GhanderOgres were perturbed.
  9. NameIess
    Maybe I should have looked at those clues more closely. Elhokar?
  10. NameIess
    Teft?
  11. NameIess
    Not really. Disney likes free money.
  12. NameIess
    On the side. He came to the eventual conclusion that
  13. NameIess
    In my opinion, the fifth ideal is going to be the ideal where the Windrunner decides how they can protect. Some people have been saying that it is about not killing people to protect, but that doesn't make sense. Windrunner's traditionally have different ideals. Some were pacifists, but they were the exception, not the rule. Kaladin is struggling with killing to protect, but not all the Windrunners would.

    They hired a philosopher to decide.
  15. NameIess
    Granted. Here is a ball of nothing. It will slowly grow. I wish for all knowledge.
  16. NameIess
    That was poisoned. It killed his brother.
  17. NameIess
    But then the Ghanderflaffles hired ninjas to kill A. Competent General.
  18. NameIess
    A. Decent General was a very good military leader. So good, in fact, that he was able to win a battle against the Ghanderflaffles.
  19. NameIess
    But he was terrible at war strategy.
  20. NameIess
    So the Ghanderflaffles declared war.
  21. NameIess
    For one hour, you have the win. But that win only matters as much as you want it to.
  22. NameIess
    And the dudest dude to ever die.
  23. NameIess
    But the Dude was terrible at hiding people, and got killed by the Finder instead.
  24. NameIess
    But the Hider came down with the Flu and decided to go home for a month or two.
  25. NameIess
    And so, unbeknownst to Lift, a Ghanderflaffle was hunting her down. His name was the Finder.
