Pretty sure that's referring to Odium.

All hail the Tin Theology.

I convert Windrunner. @Negative_Null and @Somebody from Sel Pls kill him. Edit- Never mind Null, go for reading. If we get those two out, this game will go smoothly. Coins- 2 Cards-2

Same here. Honestly, we just got really unlucky and got three members that are very inactive. Windrunner was bad even in the first game, Exp/shadowed has been pretty inactive since November, and Shard of Reading occasionally dips out for a few days at a time and probably forgot about this. SoS, Chasm, Null, and I are pretty active, so we're willing to play, we're just waiting our turn. Even Henitet is pretty good, as she does play her turn. Really think once Windrunner and Reading go, the game will get a lot faster.

We know Rayse is scared of Harmony because of the fact he is two combined shards, but that is really all. Sazed does not think having the two shards' intent clashing makes him all that able to do much.

The great Shad has released another video, this one about how to carry spears on your back. Results are good for all you fantasy writers out there. He also gave me a heart on my comment of that video, where I request a fantasy rearmed on werewolves, so... fingers crossed.

Sleep at 1-2 every night, even when I have to walk up at 7, so yes, vampire

I was offered the title the Boldest Sharder. But yes, that would be a lovely gift.

Is this short story already finished, or still being worked on?

hmm, You have piqued my curiosity. What is it you're offering?

If you could make a spren, what would they be a spren of, would they be intelligent, what would their behaviors be, and how would they look like?

If it makes you feel better, one of my Christmas gifts I got before I just stopped getting gifts was an alarm clock, because my parents constantly complained how they had to wake me up. So my gift was to wake myself up, something I now do with a storming phone. (And to be clear, that clock is cheap and barely workable.) @Channelknight Fadran Why did you make this? I'm just scrolling through everyone's gifts and getting sad.

I would like to emphasize the was in that statement.

Yep. That certainly made people remember my name. Wish the Shard kept track of all the reps, followers, and harder information with dates and all like google does with... everything. It would be so interesting to see all the data. I will say if you want rep points, Memes, fanfic, art, and other creations are a big one, as most people will want to like something with that much effort and the joy they had seeing it (And even small stuff like messed up quotes.), then it goes to theorizing and posting on the discussion boards, especially if you had a good idea or point, and RPs and games don't really give much. For posts, it's actually the reverse, where RPs give you plenty (games don't count as posts, so RIP that), Theorizing, especially if you're like @Frustration and really active, will give you plenty (Koloss, if you remember, the first time we met, you were surprised by me having 400 posts in two weeks from nothing but the Cosmere threads. Wow, have I slowed down.) and creations are really time-consuming so you can't put them out at a constant rate. I have no idea how to get followers (This coming from a guy with over thirty), and I tend to PM people who follow me what made them decide to, what thread/post, and some of them legit just shrug. The leaving your mark thing and constant posting is probably the closest thing I can see to a viable reason. I will say I tend to follow people who I see a lot, have lots of posts (Which is a sign that they are highly active for me), and I like what I see. However, things can be complicated when you take into account people decide to follow someone because they're friends with someone you follow or because they are popular, or a lot of other factors. Following people makes as much sense as the people following them, which is basically none. Because when have humans made sense? I am still a fairly new person to the Shard (Only been here a little over four months) and am clearly somewhere in the middle of the whole popularity scale, smaller than those like Fadran, Frustration, Honorless, Storming AON ENE, but bigger than Cynical and... others. However, the ones who are bigger are also people who have been here far longer, and the people I am bigger than have been here even less than I have. So as time goes, if you have left enough of a presence, you will start to grow, from what I can tell, especially since people will rep old posts, particularly memes, which get repped even after several months. And one's mark... no idea. I definitely did not think that I would end up being best known by my whole 'pinging Chaos' fiasco, no matter how funny it is looking back on it. Completely unintended, and I had been trying to build myself to be more of a theorizer or a writer, so i was plenty surprised when that event was what stuck. So I don't think you can really control what your mark will be. Pretty sure Fadran got popular with his RP FotT and had no idea it would blow up. So, my advice for a mark is just trying and do whatever it is that you do, and eventually something will stick with everyone. (You're already somewhat known for the Tin Cult and fun questions.)

Yeah, no. That would be like forgetting England has a Queen. You will be one of those members we erect in the Sharder Hall of Fame. Did you read RoW yet, because I'm very excited to see you in the RoW spoiler boards.

Happy boxing day! (I still doing Christmas.)

So, to all of my depressed people, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and to those of you who don't like Christmas, then I wish you good luck getting through today.

Not attempting to be any of these, but I always am fascinated by anything space-related. Fun fact, Mercury takes 59 days to make one full rotation, but that isn't the same as a day, as it's still orbiting the sun, so a day on Mercury would be three times longer. You may thank Neil DeGrasse Tyson, long may he reign.

Aw thank youuuuuu ... Everything is right here.

the fact he wants an excuse says a lot, because he has had plenty of time and opportunities to get her and doesn't until she attacks his bird.
