Went and saw it with Kchan and a few friends, was definitely not disappointed. I knew it was going to be good, and thankfully it was GREAT.

I give legendary hugs.

For our dear Chaos: Maths

I would like to announce that my new phone is arriving monday. Samsung Galaxy SIII. So tasty..

Someone got called a Gnat one too many times..

Those things could rip a tank apart!!

So when do we conduct our first sting operation against those shellfish redacteds?

I will try to find something non-damaging enough to feel comfortable chucking at you, Kchan XD. I miss you around here too, like I do everyone who swung by. Reader: I don't have anything for you yet, I apologize. My creative mind is unfortunately not a faucet, I can't just turn a knob and pour out some epic for you just as much as I can't shut my brain off when I want some peace and quiet.

From above or by foot, the camp largely appeared to be nothing particularly exciting. Somewhat strange individuals practiced relatively mundane methods of entertaining people with nothing better to do with their time and money, beasts were goaded into petty stunts, and so on. One area in particular, however, stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb. Primarily because it was heavily guarded, and by that meaning there WERE guards, unlike the great majority of the rest of the camp, but also due to it being somewhat removed from the rest of said camp. One wagon, mostly unadorned, save for heavy iron barring securing thick wooden planks on all sides of it. And occasionally, it would rock, as if whatever was contained within it was thrashing about.

White Knight Chronicles II. So awesome.

I think you're placing an undue amount of emphasis on your gender, personally. Does it really matter what anyone's gender is when it comes to enjoying an author's work? You love Brandon's stuff, that's great, so do we! The fact that Comatose is Canadian, I'm psychic crystal, and Chaos is a hemalurgically spiked pandamonkey that's obsessed with math is just fluff to the fact that we're all here to share in our love of Brandon together. It reminds me of this player on an online game I enjoy, whose entire 'identity' revolves around the fact that he's black. And boy is he ever! You best not forget he's black, even for an instant! Because he's black! It's sort of frustrating talking to him, because he's apparently obsessed with something that's completely inconsequential to the enjoyment of the media. As for 'recruiting'...Just let your friends borrow a book? Let the works speak for themselves, since no amount of praising will sell someone like actually experiencing it will.

I would like to announce that Brandon freakin' Sanderson likes the concept behind my Forum RP/Story, and the races it contains. This makes me feel SO much better about my capability as a writer, you have NO idea XD

And I'm gonna go ahead and ask completely oddball questions, because I am me and therefore must. 1: Are there any plans for a world where the magic system operates through devices that transform and empower individuals with spectacular abilities? Like...say...a belt with an ornate buckle...a bracer..things like that? 2: I've heard tell of an upcoming book where the magic is based on forging. This excites me greatly, and I was wondering if you could give us just a smidge more information regarding it? Either the world, the magic itself, or how it impacts said world? Though something like the Shard behind it would be awesome too.. 3: What's your opinion on golems/constructs/robots? The Lifeless are a somewhat similar concept, but I was curious as to whether there's a world in the Cosmere that might have a more classical take on ye ol' fantasy standby guardian, or are Awakened suits of armor as close as we can get? Is the Future Mistborn trilogy going to have Anti-Allomancer Alluminaughts? 4: Unrelated to the Cosmere, simply from one guy who fancies himself a writer now and again to a wildly successful author I respect deeply; I run a forum RP here on the site called Seeking The Eternal Conflux, and it would pretty much make my year to hear your opinion on the concept and Races I've constructed thus far, and whether or not it's a foundation for a compelling story. That's all from this chunk of psychic crystal, thanks again for all the wonderful reads so far, Mr. Sanderson. I'm practically salivating waiting to get my hands on Stormlight 2.

Kinda sorta basically back. Again. Life is finally starting to stabilize some after the Great Migration of 2012, so maybe I can finally get back into the swing of things and do stuff like...oh, I dunno. Post on MBI..run my poor little EC...stuff like that.

Love this comic.

After a bit of searching about, it was not too hard for Arron to find something that would suffice for a banner. There was enough garishly colorful rubbish about to tie together several different combinations that were not already in use. ((OoC: It's perfectly alright, everyone's been pretty busy; myself included. Hopefully we'll be able to rekindle this fire in the near future. ))

Off the top of my head, I would break the association of Wood-Body with Speed and Metal-Body with Regeneration. Plant-matter isn't exactly known for its swiftness, and ore veins don't replenish much at all, though I'm not as certain of that. You would be better off associating Wood-Body with Regeneration (the ability of plants to re-grow under even harsh circumstances), Fire-Body with Speed (heat excites most molecules, after all), and Metal-Body with perhaps....resilience to toxins/poisons/infection? Metal can't be poisoned/diseased, after all. As for Wood-Thought...perhaps clarity of thought? The tranquility of the natural world, allowing one to expand one's awareness and see things in a new light? Just some stuff off the top of my head.

I would like to announce that I have completed my journey to the magical land of storms and lizards, aka Florida. Kchan now has a sparkly new roommate XD

I hope so! That is what I'm going for, after all

Totally possible. We just need to instigate a timeline, like Emer mentioned, so everything can be kept order for continuity sake. Probably going to adapt MBI's 'Cycle' idea.

Bah, don't be afraid of the postcount! I just get info-dumpy sometimes XD. A lot of posts are just explanations of Mechanics and whatnot, what makes this world, this world. As for what to read, you're already in a good thread for some baseline info as well as the rules. Seeking The Eternal Conflux gives you a general breakdown of the 'point' and overarching theme of the RP. It was also the general Q&A thread until I made the General Chat thread. Still some decent info to be found in Seeking, though. Of Men and Magic is the 'bestiary' if you will. Where you'll find information on the various races of Xanthuru, or even try making one of your own! Character Template..um...pretty self explanatory XD. And finally..The Tolvera Incident is the backstory on the primary 'opening arc' of the RP, while Word Around Town Is..the place to find the supplementary 'side stories/filler arc fodder' or even add your own. Hope this helps, and happy to see you here!

Taking the man's hand in a firm grasp, Cerdic nodded. "I have a few minutes, I can show you around a little bit. What you do on your personal time is your own business, of course! Just make it clear to your...friends..that they'll have to pony up a few marks if they try hitching a ride! I don't take lightly to stowaways and freeloaders, I'll have you know!" Moving along the line of wagons and tents, the ringmaster spared a few booming words to hasten his underlings in their work as they traversed the camp. Being the boss was hard work, sometimes. Finally, the duo arrived at a grouping of slightly-less-garishly colored wagons, very similar in size and shape. "These are the living quarters..anything that's got some type of banner hanging off its pole is taken, mind, but the rest are empty right now."
