USERNAME RELATED HYPE!!! :-D

That sucks dude, sorry

At T+16 mins, we pass £1,000,000 and ~3700 backers... Watching the counter is so hypnotic!

It's open! Just popped in to say I found it running pretty slowly, but got there in the end. For some idea of popularity, I backed it at 09:04 MT and was supporter number 1046, and the project hit the goal in 3 mins. And, as I write this 11 mins after opening, there are 29 numbered $500 packages left. Y'all are ANIMALS. :-)

FWIW, I got Lightweaver and am very strongly EN*P, so sounds good to me...

Back in one of the old MBTI character threads an opinion was advanced that Shallan might be INFJ, but I don’t totally see it. (Though she is mega hard to classify anywhere IMO- I have *NFP I think)

I had Jasnah down as INTJ based on the first couple of books, but I’ll take E given what goes down at the end of Oathbringer. Can see your point for Dalinar too, but he really has a ENTJ vibe for me mainly based on ENTJs I’ve known.

NICE. This is the stuff I was looking for! I have always had Dalinar down as ENTJ, so was letting that colour my Bondsmith interpretation.

I got Lightweaver. I'm definitely getting a Chaotic DnD vibe from my results. I wonder how these map onto Myers Briggs personality types? I bet it's pretty close. In fact, has anyone done any speculation on how the orders line up with these before?

And much as Shallan spends all her time drawing, but a big chunk of it is focused on natural history. And all her annotations are pure scientific observation and hypothesis. It's almost like Lightweavers have multiple apparently conflicting aspects to their characters... ;-) Do we definitely know for sure that there are some orders without squires?

So amazing! I came here to say a. I feel like the Shardcast team absolutely nailed most of this in the Orders podcasts, good job team; b. Stonewards are *so clearly* the jocks of the KRs; but most importantly c. GET HYPE!!!!!!! (80% Lightweaver)

You slog through 11, count'em, ELEVEN whole doorstop books full of Robert Jordan's meandering style for a year because you know those last three Wheel of Time books are going to be great. (Currently halfway into Towers of Midnight, and this hunch is bearing up strongly...)

I had totally forgotten about the crazy flying boats! Would be super cool to see these become a thing at some point. Where can we get to that would need one...?

Thank you for the welcoming replies! I’m up to date with all the Cosmere books, and midway through my Stormlight reread (though currently racing through Towers of Midnight towards the Sanderlanche that is the end of the Wheel of Time...) Shallan is my fave of the main viewpoint characters. I love the flawed but functional coping strategies, the unexpected badassery, and also the relentless punning. I am also a big Rysn fan, and SO STOKED for Wandersail!

Hello everyone! longtime lurker, etc etc. Looking forward to some fun chat! Dan
