    Anybody who wants a book should probably PM Striker since he's apparently become the book coordinator.
  2. Flyingbooks
    I PMd Striker since I'm planning to get a book too and I wanted to be able to coordinate.

    What do you mean by "going after me"?

    Lan MinRai’s first time worldhopping had gone horribly wrong before they even managed to get out of Sel’s region of the Cognitive Realm. They had gotten separated from their guide amid the storm of dangerous, uncontrolled power. All of their gear was aluminum-coated, but their supplies would only last so long, and it was so easy to get turned around here. As they trudged through the roiling Investiture, Min came upon a disruption in where it looked like a world could’ve possibly existed if only things had turned out differently. Although they should have probably continued onwards - they’d get to the edge of Sel’s corner of the Cognitive Realm eventually, after all - they set up camp and began to investigate the area. After all, “Could have been”s were at the core of every Forgery, and Forging an entire world would be an incredible achievement. Over the next few days, Min mapped the structure of the anomaly and found that the world which it was connected to did exist, but it seemed to be in an entirely different universe. This would make Forging a connection to it easier in some ways but more difficult in others. By the time the guide who they had hired managed to find them, they had decided to stay and work on their new project. Over the next few years, with deliveries of food and supplies every few weeks, Min worked to create several sets of soulstamps for a planet. The first set would create a small space in the Cognitive Realm where the other world would be part of the Cosmere. The second set would create a bubble around Min connected to MaiPon’s part of the Cognitive Realm so that their Forgeries would continue working. Min walked through the portal between universes and their senses were immediately assaulted by the smells of a big city. After living in aluminum tents within a deadly storm of investiture for several years, they were unaccustomed to being around so many people at the same time. They walked through the streets, seeing the sights that this world had to offer, until they saw two young Rithmatists. From the very first time they saw Rithmatics in action, Min was fascinated by it. It was so similar to Selish Investitures in some ways, but in other ways it was so different from anything they had ever seen. Min decided that they would figure out how to become a Rithmatist. They spent months looking for any hint of a more certain way to become a Rithmatist than being chosen seemingly at random. When they heard rumors of Shadowblazes - which were apparently supposed to be able to make people into Rithmatists - in Nebrask, Min bought a spot on the next springrail there. (I wrote this before getting my GM PM. If I’m a Rithmatist, Min would have quickly found a Shadowblaze, if I’m an elim, they would’ve made a deal with the Forgotten for a Shadowblaze, and if I’m the thief or non-Rithmatist, they’d still be trying to find one.)

    I'm also going to change up my play style and try to PM more.

    My most recent scores are: Truthwatcher; 69% Lightweaver: 55% Willshaper: 51% Elsecaller: 29% Windrunner: 25% Dustbringer: 23% Edgedancer: 22% Skybreaker: 8% Stoneward: 7% Bondsmith: -11% Truthwatcher as my primary order definitely makes sense to me because the description matches me almost perfectly, but I was confused at first about why my Lightweaver score was so high. Then, I realised that I often wish that I could change myself to be more confident and less socially anxious. I guess I could fit as a Lightweaver, but I just wouldn't be a very good one. Willshaper as a secondary order also makes sense because freedom is very important to me.

    My take on Era 2-esque Scadrian handwriting (part 1 / 2 and a bit)
    I love how the cursive handwriting looks a bit like swirling mist!

    I'm an atheist and I don't believe that any gods exist.

    When you rephrase things that you say so that they include subtle Cosmere references.
  10. Flyingbooks
    Proof; Theory: The entire Cosmere is a Forgery.

    I recommend the Orthogonal trilogy by Greg Egan, who is my favorite science fiction author. It's set in an alternate universe where the speed of light is variable. It's set in a universe with different laws of physics which let all sorts of cool things happen, such as early-industrial-era spaceships which have much more time pass on them than on their home planet (hence the name of the first book, The Clockwork Rocket) and (spoiler alert for third book) The math beind all of the different technologies and discoveries is explained in detail in the book, but if you just want to enjoy the cool tech you can skip over those bits. There are plenty of characters like that in all of the books. Yes, though the danger is world-threatening. Yes, there's a slight politics subplot in two, maybe three, of the books No, sorry.

    I'd like to join the game. I'll decide on an RP character later.

    The connections between Lotus and the 2 elims seem too strong to be a coincidence.
  14. Flyingbooks
    What happened this cycle? I was busy yesterday so I wasn't able to read the thread & post.
  15. Flyingbooks
    Wounded Gazelle Gambit - when elims attack and protect one of their own to make them seem more Village. Edit: Ninja'd, spelling
  16. Flyingbooks
    You can scan me. I'm okay with my role being revealed.
  17. Flyingbooks
    I'm going to move my vote back from Liranil onto Lotus. Me too! It's one of my favorite subjects.
  18. Flyingbooks
    I got Ninja'd by a lot, plus I must have misread since I'm doing this while doing my physics homework.
  19. Flyingbooks
    Now that people are abandoning the Lotus exe, I will switch to Liranil because I'm more suspicious of Liranil than of Danex, plus I think that the information from Danex (if they are really a Brown Ajah) is more helpful for finding elims than the kills from Liranil (If they are really a Green Ajah). Edit: Never mind, I got Ninja'd a lot. I'm probably going to switch my vote ONCE THE FLOW OF POSTS SLOWS DOWN
  20. Flyingbooks
    Seconded. Please give a proof or some good evidence.
  21. Flyingbooks
    I'm not suspicious of Dannex and if Liranil is elim we'll know quickly since if they're elim, they won't be killed tonight, while if they're village, they will be. Since Lotus is the only other person with multiple votes on them at this point and I'm slightly gut-suspicious of them, Lotus.

    It's why I thrive when there are no PMs. That's when all of the fun chaos is in the thread where people like me who panic at starting a conversation with somebody else can actually see it.

    Here, I scienced it up for you: Burnt Spaghetti is in a higher-entropy state than unburnt spaghetti. Therefore, any influxes of random energy are more likely to be from burnt spaghetti than from raw spaghetti.
  25. Flyingbooks
    So, James, do you actually secretly want Illwei to cry?
