  1. Nope. TPBM thinks a Chasmgoat isn't closer to A Fish than humans.
  2. I am... a thread necromancer! not officially, really, did it about once. TPBM is wondering if something's missing after Nathrangking's coma, or if it was a mistake, and it should have been a dot.
  3. Maybe, but in the skaa grouping scene there's an attacking mob, while the noble-killing is merely crude executions (as opposed to the Lord Ruler's more "delicate" decapitations).
  4. It actually only means you finally returned to your regular pic, which only confirms the end of the TT's era. (Sorry, I really like acronyms. Did you know this one is also Time Travel?)
  5. So maybe I missed something, but can I assume the truthless troops have fallen?
  6. Just passed through my mind while re-reading the skaa grouping after kelsier's death scene - "the mob song" from beauty and the beast.
  7. I can sing, though I'm often told I'm off-key. TPBM isn't a native English speaker, and sometimes uses google translate for words he/she doesn't know.
  8. Nope. Just ate dinner (calculate the time difference...) TPBM thinks skipping one meal a day is fine, and does it all the time. (I do!)
  9. I once had! some six years ago, around this time of the year (at least on the Jewish calendar) it came, and was gone a week and a half or so afterwards. Because of it we had to get rabbies vaccine. wasn't the funnest thing to do. TPBM likes dogs more than he does cats. (it says nothing about me!)
  10. I didn't, but I think I played it on a gameboy advance emulator for Ubuntu. TPBM is using the Windows operation system, and has almost never heard about Linux or Ubuntu. I am sorry, but I am the wrong person to ask about this, though I use Ubuntu. My father has something against Microsoft.
  11. No I don't. who's Charles? TPBM knows who is this Charles.
  12. Sadly, I do not RP, but I kind of want to. TPBM is a truthfull Shin.
  13. No, I'm not and I won't. TPBM is both truthless and a ninja, but if he is truthless only in name and not picture it doesn't count.
  14. Only because of the picture change. TPBM didn't comment yet on the millionth post celebration thread.
  15. I don't think I am. TPBM changed his picture to @Truthless of Shinovar's picture - and if it's Truthless himself, then to @Channelknight Fadran's. (sorry for tagging you - I wanted to make sure I had the spelling right.)
  16. And the Truthless of Shinovar day too? because too many of you changed your picture.
  17. Well, I actually joined the shard after my older brother told me to stop bother him with theories and ideas about cosmere books - he loves the book, he convinced me to read them, he just dislikes me talking too much about them - and write my ideas here. I lurked here before I joined, and enjoyed the hemalurgic beaver thread much more than I should've. I can't say the shard has a giant impact on my life - I never even got to write here all the things I bothered my brother with. I guess I enjoy the openness of the shard, and (please don't be offended, it's mainly about me) the shard has a part in my realization that I can say completely stupid things on the internet and no one will say that you're an idiot (sorry, it wasn't just you. YouTube had part in it too).
  18. Yes, I am. No, I'm not. TPBM just ninja'd me. Edit: no, the other way around. never mind.
  19. Pardon my thread necromancy, just thought of it while reading another thread: tLR has to use one bead as a hemalurgic spike, otherwise we wouldn't know it's power. Of course, he has gained interior (don't know if it's the right word) knowledge about the Metallic Arts, but then again, no one knows for sure what chromium does, and so I think he must've been experimenting. Even though, when you think it through, it's probably a lot more useful to burn it than to use it as a spike.
  20. It's a selfie of a homemade mask. IDD! (I definitely do). TPBM likes writing sdrawkcab. In case you didn't understand:
  21. Why, I did. TPBM is wondering why the allomantic symbol of electrum in my picture is mirrored.
  22. Now I think I might've been a little unclear about my idea. What I thought was that the first hemalurgic quadrant could fit pretty well to the external/internal division - steel being the external pushing metal that steals allomantic attributes, and pewter as the internal pushing metal that steals feruchemical attributes. it didn't work, because it's switched in the cognitive quadrant. If what you talked has no connection to that feel free to ignore this comment. Edit: Updated first post according to chapter 11's epigraph. note that pushing/pulling seems to work, though it appears they don't know what is the repelling metal, which should be steel. Maybe we should work more on pushing/pulling division. In hemalurgy, the pulling metals always - except in the temporal/hybrid quadrant - steal attributes unrelated to additional investiture. The pushing ,metals steal always additional investiture related attributes, with the sole possible exception being duralumin.
  23. I feel like I'm playing Navani here: not a real scholar, just a patron (I mean, thread creator) that nudges the real scholars to the right direction. I actually wrote at length my personal opinion about the things on the table, but it somehow got erased, and I don't want ot write it all over. in short, what I wrote was: a. I believe that there is a natural way of bonding spren on Roshar, which has something to do with gemhearts, and I don't believe it's like a Nahel bond, nor am I sure it's like fabrials. b. Allomancy works in a system of keyhole - allomancer's spiritweb - and key - the metal. Fabrials work a little differently, but I still need to give more thought as to how exactly. Anyway, returning to nudging! (If you think I have no right to try and pull the discussion to the way I want it to go feel free to say it, and then ignore what I said down here.) Based on this, I thought of trying to figure out the workings of hemalurgy - which looks at first sight to be very orderly. First of, I believe it is logical to assume that allomancy could be called external, since the source of it's investiture are external to the allomancer. Likewise, I believe it will be only logical to say feruchemy is internal, since it's source of investiture is the feruchemist himself. This classification works perfectly... in the physical quadrant, ignoring the fact physical strength is external, by this definition, and avoiding having to deal with the pushing/pulling division. The cognitive quadrant destroys it all by working exactly opposite to what I just stated. Maybe I should have started by explaining the pushing/pulling division, but then the higher metals would've destroyed it all. Anyone has better ideas?
  24. Umm... it's Urithiru. I read it "oo-ri-thi-roo". I mean, Urithuru isn't symmetric.
