My dad has only read Mistborn and Elantris because he doesn't start a series until every single book is released.

As the newbie I will say I feel slightly worried...

I haven't read the manuscript for White Sand, if that's what you're talking about. I've read the graphic novel, but that doesn't really make sense in the context of the question.

I dunno if anyone is still talking about Aether of Night, but here I go: I thought it was an okay book. I didn't think it was bad but it wasn't up to par with what we know as Brandon Sanderson. We were warned, though, so I can get past that. I had a few problems, though. For one, I didn't like how Hern was portrayed throughout the book. He was constantly referred to as an idiot, rude, and never had a single good trait throughout the book. I wish he had been in the beginning more so I could have humanized him more. It just seemed like he was over-described as a bad person. The ending of the book seemed very rushed. I wish there had been more build-up to both the solution to the Forgotten and the bride problem. It felt stereotypical. Eh. I thought it was still worth reading, and gave me something to do.

Is it weird I know the exact one you are talking about?

When you start trying to use the 'quote' feature on sites that don't have it.

REVERSE CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes but you have to send it to the GM too, right?

I think both, this particular game allows one PM per cycle to a player. I assume you can PM the GM whenever.

That's good because the way the time zones work that ends up being 3 am for me on monday

See, my trick is to do stuff like this first. then homeworks is what gets in the way of the 17th shard. @A Joe in the Bush When you use your ability do you PM the game master to tell them, or something else?

It's kinda nice to know, isn't it?

I will sign up as Matrim, of course As this will be my first game, I hope I don't mess things up too badly @A Joe in the Bush Can we send 1 PM every cycle, or the entire game? For all the roles, are they single-use?

Whatever the correct one is >:)

So they went for the ultimate backup plan: French Toast

I am taller then 6 feet, still growing, and also 14! CHORTLES TWICE

When there is a 315 page forum on how you know you're a sanderfan and you want to read them all

I am now going to propose my theory for Calvin's home state, even pointing to the area where the strip is located. Here me out if you want, otherwise there is a tl;dr at the bottom. (Not like this is heavily debated subject, I just have always wondered) So, to begin: A few pinpoints we have to address: It won't be somewhere desert-y, like Arizona, because it snows plenty and one of Calvin's favorite activities is to run around in the woods. The obvious candidate- that I came up with, at least- is Ohio, where Bill Watterson grew up. Hopefully I don't need to explain who that is. The reason for this? So, there is that. Also, in a strip where Calvin and Hobbes blast off into outer space in their wagon, they are determining where they live. Picture an atlas of the United States. Where would the 'E' be? About where Ohio is, on the east coast but close enough to the middle of the country not to be the 'S' at the end. So now we have a state. Ohio has plenty of woodland area and gets snow each winter, so that checks off another box. But where in Ohio? Take notice of the last panel of this comic: Calvin's home is apparently an hour and a half from... the ocean? Ohio isn't next to an ocean! But it does border Lake Erie. A lake large enough to look like an ocean when drawn in a comic strip. There are multiple towns in Ohio an hour and a half from Lake Erie. I don't see enough info in just the comics (at least that I'm remembering) to pinpoint where exactly in Ohio his hometown is, but I do know it is not Bill Watterson's hometown which lies only 30 minutes away from the lake border. The possibilities include Carrollton, Strasburg, and a bunch of other places I don't need to mention. The only other obvious landmark for Calvin's home location is their summer vacation camping trip. The constants across the board are the big cities being driven through and the trip taking 8 hours, and being in a different state. There are several National forests around 8 hours from the location of his home (Carrollton/Strasburg/other Ohio) such as Nantahala and Uwharrie National Forests in North Carolina. Any of these is a viable candidate. If anyone else wants to dig deeper into this, they can, but I think this sufficiently satisfies my wonderings. TL;DR as promised: Calvin lives around the center of Ohio, goes to Lake Erie for his beach comics, and goes to a North Carolina National forest for his summer camping trip comics.

I'm kinda bummed, cause I was going to go to the FSY camp in June, my stake was one of the ones chosen for the first year of it. Oh well.

Stick out your right hand Now you count to ten heartbeats A Shardblade is there

my parents are around the same height as me but I passed them by like a centimeter. They are not happy lol

Prediction: I am the tallest. 14 years old but 6 feet 2 inches

Another problem is I don't know how to do this... or what it means. I need to figure this out, would like to spectate

This grew a lot faster then I expected, and I actually thought I'd be the youngest. I'm 14, so I guess not!

No, I was referring to the overarching 'Social Groups, Clans, and Guilds' topic
