This is a running joke of Brandon's, nothing to worry about.

Colors of Shards (TLM Spoilers)
The Unknown Character replied to AdonalsiumIsMyDad's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Grey isn't on the color spectrum. I wonder if maybe all the colors would be equal or even all increased to represent Harmony. -
Tress of the Emerald Sea Reactions (Cosmere Edition)
The Unknown Character replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Yes, and that's a good thing since (Princess Bride is amazing) that was explicitly Brandon's goal. -
The Fort ones happened so often I thought they might have been intentional.

Terry Pratchet Starting Point
The Unknown Character replied to Philomath's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I will second Guards! Guards! As that's what I did (at Brandon's recommendation), Going Postal (probabally Brandon's favorite) is also a good starting point. Another beloved book is the Hogfather, which I have not read, that may be another choice or a good second book. -
Tress of the Emerald Sea Reactions (Cosmere Edition)
The Unknown Character replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I believe Brandon said SotD is farther ahead, bit not by a lot. -
I think White Sand follows a similar mechanic, but isn't quite an aether. In a little bit the word Luhel bond is used, which seems to work the same as White Sand does.

Tress of the Emerald Sea Reactions (No Cosmere)
The Unknown Character replied to Chaos's topic in Tress of the Emerald Sea
Just finished part one, blazed through it and am loving the storybook nature. Probably going to start on part two in a second. -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
The Unknown Character replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Both have Sanderson books within, so why not look forward to both? -
Quick Fix 64: Spies in Starsight
The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
If you tell the GM you could be excused, same as a normal inactivity filter. In a perfect world, the IC talks often but in a way that it is very difficult to solve, though doable. In a imperfect world, we have to offer an incentive. This is my incentive.- 993 replies

Quick Fix 64: Spies in Starsight
The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Re. The Silvereye refusal to vote. If I had thought I could accurately save Silver, or even just that they were actually in danger, I probably would have, but by the point I realized it was too late to do anything but bus. I also think that Kas and others are too good at identifying busses, so I felt that I was too likely to be caught. And it turns out Aman thinks forced apathy is village, which it kinda is.- 993 replies

That's the point of the elims receiving the names of the non-voters. Vote and maybe die, or not vote and definitely die. Their choice. Edit: You also forgot to lock the spreadsheet.- 993 replies

Quick Fix 64: Spies in Starsight
The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Szeth, I think the best way to preserve the main mechanics of the game and force at least semi game relevant discussion would be to have the vote manip be voted upon in doc with the elims receiving the identities of the players that don't vote. Alternatively you could have a reveal a random IC member to a selected by vote player, having some risk/reward with the villagers/elims. I think I would enjoy being an elim with you almost as much as you hate being an elim. Edit: Kas, there was time before I added the future distro thingies when I seriously considered killing you, so my kill meta almost peeked out. And my oddball Mat kill is neatly explained by it being Bookwyrm’s fault. I can also blame the Xino over kill on both Bookwyrm and Insanity for not telling me how risky and stupid it was.- 993 replies

Quick Fix 64: Spies in Starsight
The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Thanks. I also did some alliterations, but they weren't super impressive. (Whizk Wiz Away, Strike Stiff Stick Strictly Swiftly, and Dynamically Delete Devo) I didn't include my other meme, which I sent in response to my GMPM. All GMs are infallible, it's always the players and the IMs fault. This would have been awesome. Second only to a Kas/Fifth/Aman/TUN team, maybe if it was a bigger team a Kas/Fifth/Aman/Hael/TUN team, but I think the village would need a few coinshots and many thugs to make up for that team. I think equal is best, higher is too risky when it gets to the end game I think. But I would have rathered a six person IC if they were required to talk, that sucked. Kinda want to know your thought processes @Devotary of Spontaneity, @_Stick_, @JNV, not that I disagree, just would like to know if there was any extra reasoning behind there.- 993 replies

But how do you tell the difference between an elim mistake and an Winzik lie? You can't, and there's more elims than there are Winziks, so might as well vote them. Edit: Besides tone and since when is that always accurate.- 993 replies

The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I agree on the IC doc, but in thread if you vote in discongruance with your stated (underplayed, failed to mention) reads, you will get sussed for it, and you can't exactly say you're Winzik to get out of it.- 993 replies

The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Why would they vote manip for someone else, any vote manip they make will point towards them or someone they suspect is in the IC anyways, so why waste it on anyone but themselves. The only reason not to save themselves or to save someone else is to create an IKYK.- 993 replies

Stick’s theory, which I agree with, poses that the elims would try to create ties in the hopes of luring at Winzik. Why would an elim do it other than between villagers?- 993 replies

Quick Fix 64: Spies in Starsight
The Unknown Character replied to Szeth Pancakes's topic in Sanderson Elimination
My guess for an elim team is Hael/Almond(/Insanity) This is frighteningly reminiscent of when Stick defended Turtle by offering up Archer instead, and if it was someone else I'd be worried. But it's me and I know I'm village. I was already going to vote Hael, and this just makes me more confident.- 993 replies

Kas, you always want to kill me for one reason or another, it's just a matter of how much. I'm pretty sure the only time you didn't (you might not even have been in the game) was when I gave myself a goldclear (not quite hard, malleable, but unlikely to crack) by partially accidentally referencing a word choice in the GM PM. Even then I think you paranoided me.- 993 replies

You just made me think Archer was playing. Shame on you. I'm here, and comfortable with where my vote is at, could be convinced away I guess, but I just want some clarity on the Nerdy slot.- 993 replies
