    Hey, if you haven't read RoW, then uh, you might want to stay out of my profile for now, as I'm going to probably be posting a lot on the RoW discussion boards. 

    I- What? by posting this I might have drawn you to my profile? And created the problem I so wished to avoid? 

    Wait, what was that? People will probably only see this if they went to view my profile in the first place? 

    Okay! Okay! I see the flaws...

    So, something that felt a tad bit off to me during my readthrough was Adolin's character in this book. I still can't quite figure out why, but- In RoW, it shows us Adolin, who seems to be finally free of his father's expectations. My question is...where did that come from? In the past books did he feel....insignificant? or unworthy? or....I can't find the right word, but did he feel like he kept needing to prove himself? Prove that he was the Blackthorn's son and was as good as his father? He seemed to always be okay with doing his own thing in the books- even ashamed of Dalinar in the beginning. My other thing is- I know that there's (er...jokes? Speculation? ...Fanfiction? :P) about Adolin being Odiums champion, and Adolin becoming a Knight Radiant, but it kind of made me think. In Oathbringer he admits to killing Sadeas, and he isn't sad about it- he felt it needed to be done, and was glad Sadeas was gone, right? This (first of all) isn't exactly following the "Journey before Destination" to me. This reminds me more of Moash, and how Moash killed Elhokar - Yes, for revenge,- but he also convinced himself that it was for the best. Adolin killed Sadead because he knew that Sadeas would be coming after them again and again, but there definitely was revenge in there too. I guess... I guess I've rambled a bit. Just had some thoughts on Adolin and...thought to share? hm?

    Something I was just thinking about, and found interesting, was how Moash saw Kaladin. In the first two books, Kaladin is happy that Moash is around to treat him like a human instead of some mythic being, but then in this book we see Moash mention that you can't kill Kaladin- as if no matter what you do, he won't die. I think it's just interesting, because he wasn't acting like that before iirc. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, and it was really Moash saying something more along the lines of "you can't kill him [because then he'll become a martyr, or something along those lines, people will continue to fight?]"

    Ah, thats a good point, because everyone calls him Stormblessed, but it's never stated explicitly that he actually chose that as his house name, no?

    technically she might have been hoping that since it was his most Empathetic/Emotional day, he would stay that way forever :P.

    See I'm wondering if Cultivation is actually...trying to do what Odium did? and trying to use Odium to accomplish it? It...I don't see how it would make sense with her Intent, but- yeah. I guess Rayse was close to dying with Odium, and theoretically a controlled swap of Vessel is better than the power just being released and finding someone...like....Szeth?
  8. Illwei
    I mean, I would think so too, as Mr. T was able to show Hoid what he wanted to see in the end. Scary Scary Scary. Mr. T did try, no? I assumed that it was bound to Odium and not the Vessel honestly. Otherwise I guess he might be using Hoid as a Pawn. But yeah, That Epilogue was absolutely terrifying to read. Agh. I- Agh.

    Personally I don't think that Lift's purpose is to become the new Vessel for Cultivation. I don't know what Cultivation's plan is for Lift, tbh. I think- I mean, I never knew she used Lifelight, but when I saw that in the book I thought it was going to tie back to her helping the Sibling get back up on it's feet.

    I wonder if that's possible, and what the implications would be? would she somehow be stronger than the other lighweavers because...more...bonds...= more....investiture? technically? I...don't understand though, because it would pain her and Pattern for a week to actually bond he old spren's blade no? unless...something is different because of their particular Connection, or something similar to how Maya is ..."friends" with Adolin? if Shallan's old spren is ...willing to bond with her again...it..won't scream??
  11. Illwei
    I mean, Nighblood does have it's limits- Before in books he gets sleepy after eating. Rayse was a vessel, so I assume that even that leaves a lot more investiture in a person, even if the Shard is somehow separated from them. Eating Rayse, uh, especially with the circumstances I think, tired Nightblood out.
  12. Illwei
    NO i was NOT prepared at ALL for that. I actually wheezed. Like, some sort of Wheezing fit. I don't know what my family thought when they heard me but- It's absolutely terrifying I am completely terrified absolutely terrified this is scary. Yeah- about Rayse. I can't imagine how much easier this next part would be if it were with Rayse and not Terravangian :P. welp.
  13. Illwei
    Okay, wait... Vapor Don't ask reasoning, there is none. I feel the most comfortable killing them (not that it's going to happen....) :P.
  14. Illwei
    That...seems...to be a...talent...of mine... @Matrim's Dice Gears Going back here for now.
  15. Illwei
    Why did you delete the part of your post where you said "sorry Illwei" ?
  16. Illwei
    We could always vote youuuuu?dasd @Matrim's Dice VC?
  17. Illwei
    That's interesting, seeing as I've seen people in the mid-late game look specifically at those people who don't vote D1. Villagers are more likely to vote D1 because they know nothing. Elims know that everyone is a villager, so they have a harder time voting in general, but especially on D1 when village knows nothing. EDIT: I'm also really not liking this sudden shift onto bearer? Agh! what else did I want when I started it?
  18. Illwei
    @Bearer of all agonies I don't know how to read this removal of "sorry illwei" from your message. A new villager who doesn't want to be killed? or an Elim who realized they made a mistake. I really hate voting on new players though, that's the problem. I don't want them to die D1 and then get discouraged from joining another game because of it...
  19. Illwei
    Bearer I don't vote on new players, but the "Sorry Illwei" is something I don't like. If you're going to vote me and put me in the lead so I might die, why say sorry? :P. Do you have TMI that I am infact a villager? :P. EDIT: Man re reading this message it sounds so....agressive... uh... what can I do to take that away.... Aha!
  20. Illwei
    [color=red][/color] Also....Why? I'm not liking this sudden wave of voting me? especially mostly new players who suddenly decide to vote. EDIT: It's just bearer that's new, I'm hallucinating. (er, and turtle :P.)
  21. Illwei
    My problem is I really don't know who to vote on. I don't see a lot of things, and I just- I feel bad voting on newer players and the like. My thoughts: New, Don't like killing new people D1- Newer Players People who Die D1 Me People who are good at being villagers? People who couldn't possibly be an Elim four times in a row.... People who haven't really talked That leaves- no one. I'm really terrible at this. :P. EDIT: ;-;. oof, ouch.
  22. Illwei
    Can you give your reasonings? I don't want to mark this Elim, because I was wrong about you last game. I still don't think Aman should ever be a D1 kill unless it's Elim- Motivated.
  23. Illwei
    *sigh* okay: First of all: I am against poke votes when they are phrased as such. (ie. "Haha I'm going to vote on Matrim! Haha how funny but I'll take it off later dw." or "I'm going to throw a poke vote at Lotus! haha! Get Poked!) Second of all: You jumping onto me doesn't feel right. I'm way more inclined to vote Aman right now. is this because I haven't responded to your PM, so you can't successfully pocket me like you wanted? :P. overall I think you have acted much more like you did when you were an Elim- Minimal talking, and the phrasing around your vote definitely sounds a bit forced to me. As for my posts, I definitely said that I would be putting less time into this than the long game :P. (that's not going to end up happening, but I can dream :P.) so of course my posts would reflect that. you are also right about there being much more to talk about on D4 of a LG (especially last LG), but I think... *looks up at post* I think I'm doing pretty good. most of it has been defending me....but that's fine for now, I don't have much else to talk about except my hesitations about killing Aman right now and...was there anything else? Slight suspicion of You, Ash, and TJ. (also I edited a paragraph in at the bottom of my last post, if you (turtle) saw it bc you (turtle) posted at the same time I finished editing :P.
  24. Illwei
    I don't think that Aman is a good D1 kill. If he's an Elim then he's dangerous for sure, but as it's Day 1 we don't have enough evidence to think that so far IMO. "but Illwei, we never have enough info to be sure of someone D1" Okay, you're not wrong, but IMO Aman has the ability to be very useful to village if we let him live past D1. It's probably close enough to rollover though that people might not see this. I completely misread the last Aman post :P. I'm surprised I seem more chaotic this game? I thought I was pretty chaotic D1 of last game. I might have been a bit less chaotic because I was trying to get the Hemalurgists to read me village :P. A complete sidenote: I just think 48 hour one cycle games are interesting. I hear that QFs favor the Elims, but do MRs favor the village? the same amount of time to talk during the game, but the Elims don't get the extra time after the execution to talk about their kill, they have to decide at the same time that village decides. Just something I was thinking about because I played a 36/12 game recently. EDIT: ;-; EDIT EDIT: Man, I really don't want to have to put a vote on Aman for self pres, especially after writing this :P. I was going to bring up a point earlier...about how since so little people are involved in the vote right now that I don't think any of the top people are Elims? (Don't you (you in the general sense of *waves arms around* you) dare tell me that it doesn't matter, or that I'm defending them as I was right about this every time in LG71, and if people had noticed this on the last day.. :P.) I would think that normally I would read TJ as Elim for that, but I was 100% looking for someone else to vote on to get the vote off of Aman...so I can't really blame him... :P.

    It...It was a joke :P. If you wanna ask a question, go ahead :P.
