Proof: It’s @Hoid. He is everywhere and has done everything. Theory: Quentin (Alcatraz vs.) is cosmere-aware.

Well, hello there @Condensation. I hear you’re trying to be more active lately.

And one of Nan’s grandchildren was an admin, who unbanned them. And then, [lag warning]

Ah numbers though please 1170

Not letting you win all night. Nope, not gonna happen.

I do think that Odium has a "truest Surge." The Surges are mostly of Honor and Cultivation, but a small piece of each of them (excluding Adhesion, of course) belongs to Odium, since Odium is a integral part of Roshar - as evidenced by the fact that Odium's tone is, as of the past few thousand years, one of the three pure tones of Roshar. And like Honor and Cultivation, the size of that piece must vary between each Surge. (Curiously, this could mean that Cultivation and Odium's truest Surges are the same - one surge that just has very little Honor in it.) What this Surge is, however, is another matter entirely. Adhesion Nope Gravitation This is one of the least likely options, for two reasons. Firstly, it is closely related to Adhesion - both are centered around objects being pulled together - which means that it probably has a high percentage of Honor in it. Secondly, it is used by the Windrunners, who are one of the closest orders to Honor, and the shanay-im (Heavenly Ones), who are generally some of the most honorable of the Fused. tl;dr - too Honor-y. Division This is OP's theory. I think this is likely, given that the Dustbringers, one of the orders that uses Division, is focused on controlling their power, and the Skybreakers, the other order, have sided with Odium. Plus, we haven't seen the Division Fused yet, and we have this WoB - This could mean that he'll "deal with it" when the Division Fused show up. However, this theory is not without its faults. If you want to see them laid out in full, just read the rest of the thread, but it basically boils down to the fact that Odium is not an innately destructive force, and Division is all about destruction. One thing to note is that this Surge is directly between Adhesion and Progression. Abrasion There's not really much to say for or against this surge. Manipulating the friction of objects doesn't seem very Odious, but it doesn't seem like it's of Cultivation or Honor, either. It's kind of like the True Neutral of Surges. Progression This is probably Cultivation's truest Surge. As mentioned earlier, Odium and Cultivation's truest Surges could be one and the same. However, I do not think this is the case, since growing and nurturing something, unless it's a grudge, is almost like the opposite of Odium's Intent. That would require you to have a desire for something to grow and change - Odium is all about being Passionate about something, and not changing in your views. (I think that makes sense. It does in my head.) Illumination This also feels like it goes against Odium's intent. Illumination is all about disguises and hiding things, and I feel like Odium advocates being open with your Passions, and not hiding them. Transformation See what I said about Progression and Illumination. Again, this is a changing force, and I feel like Odium is fundamentally anti-change. Transportation This is an interesting one. The main thing that it's got going for it is the fact that it's directly between Honor and Cultivation's truest surges (I'm just going to assume Progression is Cultivation's truest Surge from here on out for brevity's sake). I don't think there's very much to be gleaned from the nature of this Surge - Transportation feels like a very neutral force with few ties to any of Roshar's Shards. Cohesion Not much to say about this one. (I'm hungry.) Tension hungy does anyone else want to think about this one?

How’s that? TUO got it.

I will play as Pancakes! RP far from guaranteed.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooope

Unfortunately not. I can’t art. Looks cool, though! TPBM wants pancakes or waffles.

I can’t remember my original thing! Here, I’ll change it out for something similar in length. S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You have 13 guesses remaining. T

Storm it How do you keep getting these long scudding wins?

Granted! You can’t feel your feet. I wish for a large stack of pancakes with warm syrup and butter.

Questioner: Why do some of your villains have names that are like, um, verbs, like Ruin, or Odium? Is that, like, trying to get across a, uh, theme of some sort, or- Brandon: Yeah, that’s actually - I can’t get into it right now, but, um, it has to do with the fact that a lot of my books, like, um, Mistborn and Warbreaker, um, and the Stormlight Archive, and more, are set in the same, um, universe, and there’s a reason why that you’ll start to see in some, um, later books - um, yeah.

Maybe we should start a new game with more active players.

Noooooo it doesn’t include the first post 1167

I love this - thank you But then, bananas!

1. But Doomslug! Doomslug is not stupid! Doomslug best slug! 2. Remember the outline. Brandon has to write Cosmere books in a certain order, and he needs to take an 18-month break from Stormlight each book, for sanity reasons. So Skyward, the Reckoners, and Alcatraz are all projects that he uses to occupy that time. Plus, he can’t just write cosmere - the way he works, he has to take breaks and do something different with his time sometimes.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I’ve updated the list, as of a minute from now.

Um hi everyone sorry I didn’t make it clear I was gonna be away I didn’t realize I’d be camping through the General Meeting Looks like that was for the best, though - I’ll have to read through the doc and the thread. this game is weird
