    ...What?
  2. Wonko the Sane
    You fiend! I'll never give in! I am a doctor, even to the grave. With the votes as spread as they are, are we sure there will even be a clear second place?
  3. Wonko the Sane
    Fetid? You want to call us fetid? I like your phrasing of Rule 2 a lot better than the old; I'm going to modify it. The other two seem to me more like specific bits of advice than overarching laws or principles.
  4. Wonko the Sane
    Welcome, Doctor Walin! Do you have any ideas for names, rules, principles, etc.?
  5. Wonko the Sane
    "Doctor Wintre, is that true? How is it that we've never gotten together to discuss our work? No matter; we're here now. My name is Nowko Lestibournes; I specialize in the study of bronzepulses. It's a fascinating area, not least of which because it is just so poorly understood -- I would argue that of the sixteen metals, bronze is the most mysterious, Allomantically speaking." Nowko paused for effect, taking the opportunity to push his glasses back up his nose. "Take this: the histories say that the Warrior Ascendant could feel the Well of Ascension calling to her across the world with her bronze. But how is this possible? Surely the Well was not burning metals at the time! And this is just the tip of the iceberg! If you'll just excuse me, I must go and fetch my notes..." The short, wiry man bustled off, seeming almost to have forgotten that he was involved in a conversation. A vote on The Doctor (ostrichofevil), that will be rescinded as soon as he joins the Doctors' Guild. Come, my friend, you belong there if anyone does!

    It would certainly say something about lofty Elendel and its opinion of Roughs men and their education.
  7. Wonko the Sane
    Well, that's certainly one way of bolstering recruitment.
  8. Wonko the Sane
    Wonderful! Rest assured, Doctor, that Rule 1 in no way prohibits practicing your ancestral trade. We are glad to have someone with such a valuable skillset cast your lot with us.
  9. Wonko the Sane
    One thing we definitely need to work on is recruitment from within the game. Of twelve doctors to sign up, only five have joined the guild.
  10. Wonko the Sane
    In the game, or for the long-term guild? Of course, either would be welcome.
  11. Wonko the Sane
    In the case of a Scoundrel win, we could say that a doctor needs to be the one to become the new leader.
  12. Wonko the Sane
    You were fourth. But the first three didn't think about the pattern they were starting; their names were meant to be one-off jokes. You were the first to identify the pattern, and I joined in soon after. That was what opened the floodgates.
  13. Wonko the Sane
    There was no offense; I only jested, remarking on what I perceived to be a humorous trend in your suggestions.
  14. Wonko the Sane
    Your majesty, I must ask, why is it that you seem so intent on making us into some sort of weapon? Doctors Without Boundaries has a ring to it. Also, here's a list of fancy words for 'club' that I think sound good: Alliance, brotherhood, fellowship, coalition, confederation, syndicate, consortium, and league. I especially like coalition, syndicate, and consortium. How about The United Coalition of Doctors Without Boundaries, call The Coalition for short?
  15. Wonko the Sane
    Ah, I see. Good thinking. Do you have any more thoughts on names? While I accept that we may want a more alignment-neutral name, your earlier suggestion doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
  16. Wonko the Sane
    I like it! We need to keep in mind, though, that not every doctor is a medical doctor. I've started calling this the Doctor's Guild in my advertising, but it's only a placeholder until we can come up with something better.
  17. Wonko the Sane
    I would like to submit that the first rule of our brotherhood be: Do no harm (unless you really, really want to).
  18. Wonko the Sane
    How did what happen? The doctor thing? I was under the impression that it was you and I who really started the ball rolling. Doctor Walin, welcome! And may we expect you in the newly budding guild?
  19. Wonko the Sane
    Welcome, one and all! Piff, are you volunteering to be our quartermaster? Wonderful! I know that I, for one, would certainly like a lab coat. And do you think you could see about getting a badge for Dr. Heatherlocke? Your majesty, while we certainly appreciate the generosity of your offer, I think that we would like to get our feet under us before we even begin to consider questions of politics. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope that our eventual relationship proves to be one of friendship.

    Malevolence isn't a word for a group of people! What about 'The League of Malevolent Malpractitioners'? Hm. That feels like too much of a mouthful. 'League of Malevolent Doctors' works, if we're willing to give up the Malpratitioners part.
  21. Wonko the Sane
    I agree. Something like "The Malpractitioners' Guild" or "The Consortium of Malpractitioners" would be a step closer to what we need.
  22. Wonko the Sane
    Indeed, it is as dust on the wind before the bond that exists between two doctors. I think that the suggested name you posted in the game ('the Practitionerds'), while cute, is a little bit too cheesy for use in the long term; it would grow tired long before the guild does. 'the Practitioners', though, is a possibility, as is 'the Malpractitioners'.
  23. Wonko the Sane
    Well I, for one, am insulted! For me, at least, this was always intended to be an RP thing. Did some among you join in spuriously, thus casting dirt upon the names of those of us who take the movement more seriously? On the subject of names, I don't think that we doctors should simply become a bunch of mascots for the gang as a whole. After all, the majority of players have not joined with us; and Warn, our leader, is clearly not a doctor. As such, we can not allow them to take their name from us. That said, however, I feel it is important that we organize ourselves, so that we are not cast apart by the winds of time. To that end, I have made a call to arms here. My fellow doctors, go and join the cause! So you think that I am afraid to lie in this bed, Wyrmhero? Challenge accepted.

    It began with Doc Piffington, an outlaw who was a doctor, but not that Doctor. He was soon followed by the Doctor, who... was that Doctor. Then came Doctor McNinja, followed by Doctor Cloud' Wintre and myself, Dr. Nowko Lestibournes. And thus was a movement born. Soon, many had joined our ranks; eventually, we were nearly a dozen strong. In spite of this, we remained nebulous, loosely tied together by our shared doctorship. This could not stand. I came here to rally, to gather, and to unite us. We may have begun as a small sect of an insignificant outlaw gang on Scadrial, but we are well on our way to becoming so much more. Join the cause. Become a doctor! -------------------- About the Guild The Abundance accepts doctors from all walks of life; Good or evil, cosmere or reckonersverse, rich or upper middle-class. All that we require is a dedication to the pursuit of doctorliness. At the time of this writing, the Abundance allows for dual membership in all other guilds; as alliances shift and form, this may be subject to change. As doctors, we are constantly seeking to expand our learning. It is this quest that defines and unites us. Should you or your guild require information of a scholastic nature, we'll have it -- and if not, we'll find it. A sizeable number of our members are experts in the medical professions, and we thus extend this service as well: if you find yourself injured, diseased, poisoned, or otherwise inconvenienced by the fleshiness of your body, contact us, and we will do all that we can to restore you to health. Fees for the above services, or any others you may need, should be discussed with Dr. Rab Heatherlocke, our resident public relations aficionado. -------------------- The Rules of Guild ​Do no harm (unless you really, really want to). Don't ask for a second opinion -- yours is better anyway. Willful ignorance is never acceptable behavior for a doctor. Do unto others as you would have done unto them. One must be fashionable at ALL times to be a successful doctor. -------------------- Official Members Dr. Nowko Lestibournes (Wonko the Sane)............................Guild administrator, first official member Dr. Seixa* (phattemer)............................................................Guild honorificifier and secretary Doctor Cloud' Wintre (Winter Cloud)......................................Guild recruitment officer Doc Piffington (Lord Pifferdoo)...............................................Guild quartermaster, The First Doctor Dr. Rab Heatherlocke (Haelbarde).........................................Guild political advisor and diplomat Doctor McNinja (Clanky).........................................................Guild assassin and medical expert Doctor Walin (spencer12347).................................................Unassigned The Doctor (ostrichofevil)........................... ............................Guild spacetime expert, token minority Dr. Kipper (Kipper)..................................................................Guild bamboo and hemalurgy expert * The Honorable Sir Maestro Dr. Brightlord Seixa, Ph.D., M.D., LL.B., J.D., D.Phil., O.D., Psy.D., D.D.S., D.C., D.P.M., D.V.M., Pharm.D., N.D., S.J.D., Esq.

    There were two bracers; both pierced his skin, so both were presumably spikes. One was definitely atium, but the other was presumably gold. And the atium bracer was used up... Never mind. I just pulled out my copy of WoA for a quote, but when I found it, It turned out I had remembered it wrong. While the book does mention that they found the bracers after the fight, it does not, as I had thought, say that Vin burned up the atium. It turns out they were sold for supplies. So I guess the question is, sold to who? Also, this: "...they had actually contained only a very small bit of atium...". Were the Bracers composed of multiple metals?
