It's not bad, you just haven't dug deep enough yet. Also, i think the word you're looking for is inhuman

Guys! I have discovered the answer! I now know why Autonomy is so determined to make all the worlds develop on their own! She doesn't want their germs! Think about it. She doesn't leave her world, she makes avatars for that, to prevent her from getting the germs. She doesn't let other people in to prevent germs from other worlds for contaminating hers. She, as far as we know, doesn't interact with anyone, probably afraid of getting the germs. We see a pattern here? And so, her end goal is to prevent anyone from leaving shard worlds and keeping the germs away from her.
-
Hoid is trying t talk to her like, "Come on Autonomy, just let them have a little play date and put the the force field." And she's like "No. Germs. They all have Germs." WAIT! That's why she wants to be autonomous. SHe's a germaphobe! XD
-
She could just make a force field and that would do it. And besides, I'm pretty sure nobody thinks she's going to make a bunch of Dyson spheres. XD
-
XD Her master plan is to make a bunch of balls to protect every system. XD That would look so ridiculous!
-
Agreed, and it makes Autonomy more of an obstacle rather than an antagonist for the time being. How she'll react to space travel is going to be fun.
-
Yeah, that's part of my problem is why nobody seems to b trying to equip the rosharians with guns during a war with Odium with Cosmere wide effects. This is the one place you might want to intervene as literally nothing you do can be worse than letting Odium loose to keep killing all the Shards or reasons nobody knows.
-
Oh, 100% yeah Guns are very useful. I have no doubt they would try if they knew what a gun was. I was just saying why they haven't made one yet. Like, they made super bow fabrial. They are far too focused on fabriels right now to even conceive of guns. Natline, though, I imagine is probably on its way toward guns and we just aren't in that time period as of Warbreaker.
-
They have the means, but that doesn't mean they have the initiative yet. We had the means for hundreds of years before we started manufacturing them. They for the time being seem more interested in fabrials, which you can't really blame them for, seeing as gemhearts are so common and can do things centuries ahead of their time. Now, if someone could worldhop there with a gun and start introducing it there, then they could probably make a superadvanced army and take over the world.

They can soul cast wood.

Okay, yay. So... how do I help you? Do we make a PM? How much do you want me involved?
-
It would make a society with no standard form. people would add lots of parts and eventually people will stop looking human and more... odd. Some might follow certain patterns of modifications and called certain things, but everyone will be quite varied. And of course, people would b still trying to create advancements on this field as I'm sure there are things they can't do and would like to overcome. Also, wow, nobody bothered replying to this. This post must surprise you.

Well, this is embarrassing on my part. Turns out, I missed the fact that this Friday, I had been on the Shard for one month like an idiot. Guess I was too busy to notice. However, I shall make up for this oversight and be giving you TWO chapters this Monday for Tuesday, you guys can vote which down below. The reason I give you a choice is because Experience is behind still, and maybe Fadran, and I'd like giving them some time. I will admit, would've been better if I released the two chapters on Friday, which was the perfect day, but I will say these next to chapters fit nicely together, so not all was lost.

That is a bit more complicated. Seeing someone bring a gun and a civilization inventing one are two different things. Nathline is still fairly in the medical age as far as we know, and Roshar's technology advancement had been hindered multiple times and are focusing a lot on their fabrials. That is more understandable. Worldhopper not having them, though, is where I start getting a bit curious. It might make it more dangerous to use them, though I'm pretty sue they can make a few adjustments to compensate.

tell me, how accurate is this to you?

theory Who and What Surge Shattered The Plains?
Aspiring Writer replied to Child of Hodor's topic in Stormlight Archive
Very interesting theory, love the speculation and explanation. -
@Channelknight Fadran Holy crap, this exists? You have whole thread to just ask you questions with 200 posts. Dude, what did you do to become this popular? XD Anyways, my question. Hmm. Okay, two questions. First one, which of these creatures would you be in the Cosmere; a Kandra, a sleepless, or a spern? and second question, what is the answer to my offer to help with your fanfic? It's been (goes back to post to check date) okay it's been five days. Wow. I swear it felt like over a week. XD But yeah, you said you'd get back to me after you gave me a review on my chapter, and as of yet, I've gotten neither, so when can i expect an answer dude.
-
If by questionable you mean confirmed, then yeah questionable. Arthur Dent (paraphrased) Is [Mraize] a worldhopper? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes, he's been to a few planets, highly supervised by his babsk.

Time for me to add another topic onto the discussion table. Okay, me always had this question and could not find an answer anywhere, so here it is... why don't we see more guns? It's always bugged me that we don't see world hoppers having a gun with them, especially after we see Khriss carrying one in Mistborn: Secret History. That shows that guns have been around since Mistborn Era 1, and that world hoppers do carry them around when traveling to other worlds. So why don't we see Mraize or Hoid carrying them? Hoid might be powerful enough that he doesn't need one, but Mraize? He is a worldhopper and could have easily gone to Scadrial and took a gun with him. Now, obviously, there are possible explanations, First one is maybe it against the Cosmere laws, as seen in Sixth Dusk, and they can't bring them and accidentally leave them for the populace. problem with that is one, sixth dusk tasks place centuries in the future and may not apply to Mistborn and SA. Next explanation is that gun is inconvenient to carry because once you run out of ammunition, the gun is useless and you can't really make ammunition for yourself out of thin air (unless you're an Elsecaller or Lightweaver). But a gun is still pretty worth it for emergency and then I'd ask why Khriss brought hers. And lastly, it might be the Ire, Ghostbloods, or Seventh Shard that keeps worldhopper from doing it. Mraixe certainly seems to be keeping track of that on Roshar. What do you guys think?

Google Translate - Cosmere Edition

Witness the detortion of this sentence. -
I swear, these two memes are the best XD. Here's a meme I think all the newcomers can relate to (Except me, of course, because i read the whole Coppermind before joining. #humblebrag)

Mostly pretty good. I suggest rather than using continually, use progressively, but that's about it. great description, great expression, on to the next point. Okay, first, I suggest putting the first sentence with the last sentence of the previous paragraph, like "and saw two spots, one in the light and the other in shadow." Next, the other sentences are very hard to understand at first. You start talking about two people without clarifying those are the spots you spoke of, so put in a line that as he neared them, he could start making about they were people fighting. Next, saying he came even with them sounds... off. I would suggest saying that he got closer he started slowing down until he was falling next to them, which is easier to understand and convey what you mean to the reader. Good. Only suggestion I can make is to describe the two beings more. oohh, time manipulation? or is it that his thoughts slowed down so everything appeared faster? hmm... Nice description of scenery. Still good. I'd suggest using a different tactic to get character traits off. Either use another view character to notice those details or put in an event where one might think about their hair or eye color, like him passing someone with a rare hair color or hair color that signified him being someone or important or foreign. People don't normally think about lighting brightening their eyes. ...okay, I know we're supposed to try being original when portraying our thoughts, but sometimes, it might just be better to do something more simple like, her hands shook. Just saying. Nice, nice. I will say that this moment is not nearly as impactful as it would be with context. I would make it clear why she needs to pass, what had happened to her family, and then say she failed, you don't have to explain everything, but enough that we know to feel worried, kind of like with Shallan and her attempt to become Jasnah's ward. we knew a lot rode on it, even if we didn't understand all of it, so when Jasnah said no, it was more impactful. So far, looks pretty good. Interested in what the next chapter will bring.

Moash (prepares for battle) is a great character. -
Countering Shardplate (Without Shards)
Aspiring Writer replied to Aspiring Writer's topic in Stormlight Archive
there are a lot of chemicals that they would have been able to get their hands on, like quick lime, and even dirt honestly wouldn't be a bad option. Blinding them for even a few seconds can help them win the battle. Remember, in Wok, they mention how peeing in your pants might distract and kill you. Imagine blinded for a few seconds and having your eyes burn for the rest of the battle. Especially since they are otherwise seen as invincible. True, but I find it hard to believe they would not see the one obvious weakness in the eyeslit and find some way to exploit it in a way that has easy access for anyone. Investiture in the form of fabriels and radients aren't available to everyone, and this is a way to disable them enough that even common soldiers might be able to kill them.
