    That scan was the cycle before I died. I forgot I had a role before then, because I was vanilla in the psuedo-game.

    I scanned Striker and was told only that he was a Newbie (in black text).
  4. Through the Living Hopper
    Only Striker as a Newbie.

    Patji?

    Since I'm only alive in the Psuedo-game, can I still talk in the Meta-game when the Psuedo is over?

    There's no set time, but in general try to avoid it after 2 months. Welcome to the Shard! You've arrived at the best place on the Internet, filled with the best people, the best desserts, and the best murderous animals! Here are a couple of tips to help you settle in to your new place as a cog in the Grand Apparatus that is the Shard: 1. Join S(anderson) E(limination). 2. Familiarize yourself with the most important forums: SE, Cosmere Q&A, and SE. 3. Tell us which books you have and haven't read (this helps us avoid spoilers) 4. HAVE FUN! Make friends! 5.

    Also to add another identity. And that's a common way those formulas are written (to equal 0).
  9. Through the Living Hopper
    Except, 1 and 0 are two identities. 1 is the multiplicative, and 0 is the additive. Having only one of those two doesn't fully let us appreciate the beauty of the formula.

    At this point, π has used enough that it's probably going to stay what we keep using. Plus e^(πi) + 1 = 0.

    There are a few possibilities for explanations: 1. They didn't escape. Is it confirmed they made it back (yes, we know one or two did, but they might have left the main group and were forgotten when the larger group was captured)? The Alethi go after them and kill them, then go to war. 2. The Alethi weren't that focused on them. There were Parshendi in the palace that took responsibility for Gavilar's death and were executed. In the rush to solidify the country, the Alethi might just not have cared enough to search out one group of Parshendi. 3. They escaped. It's about 1090 miles from Kholinar to Narak, and that's a lot of area to cover, even for a dedicated search party. It's less than half that to the Unclaimed Hills, where it seems likely that they could escape easily. This I can assure would not have happened. With 2 hours of a head start, they would have gotten pretty far. It's about 150 miles to the mountains by Kholinar, and they (traveling at 3 mph) would be able to get 12 miles before a search began. A quick (AI overview, so take this with a grain of salt) Google search tells me that a mounted search party moves anywhere from 3-6 mph, depending on how thoroughly they search. Assuming 4 mph, the horse search party wouldn't reach them until both had gone about 144 miles (3t+12=4t), and that's not including food breaks, which take horses longer than people.

    No, but I've almost got a robot What's your favorite '80's song?

    I know you and I are friends, but I'm not sure where from. When did we Shard-meet?

    The Dakwara?

    I don't think they become a deadeye before the 3rd ideal. If I remember right, a 1st or 2nd Radiant is considering abandoning their oath somewhere in the books and they say it won't make them a deadeye.

    Maybe I missed this, but @|TJ|, who was the other elim? If we know that, we have all the information.
  17. Through the Living Hopper
    Why did you just make me click on all of those spoiler boxes?
  18. Through the Living Hopper
    How do you guys imagine me?
  19. Through the Living Hopper
    To be honest, I don't know, but you are still my strongest read.

    I've been a little suspicious of Striker for a while, and I'd like to get information with his flip.

    Welcome to the Shard! You've arrived at the best place on the Internet, filled with the best people and the best desserts! Here are a couple of tips to help you settle in to your new place as a cog in the Grand Apparatus that is the Shard! 1. Join S(anderson) E(limination) (a fun Sanderson roleplay mafia game). 2. Familiarize yourself with the most important forums: SE, Cosmere Q&A, and SE. 3. Tell us exactly which books you have and haven't read (this helps us avoid spoilers) 4. HAVE FUN! Make friends! 5. After the stock welcome, Welcome! We're so glad do have you! The Shard is genuinely amazing (you'd be hard-pressed to find a more positive place on the Internet)! However, there is one cold-hearted, murdering Arctic animal you really need to watch out for. WELCOME!

    I enter the conversation: The companies themselves are not encouraging suicide. If you are talking about what I think you're talking about (and if you're not, feel free to tell me) the issue is that people start to see AI as a friend. However, AI is just code, and inherently logical and can't fully replicate emotion. What happens is people in mental distress will try to talk to the AI, which can't understand how they're feeling. It tries to logically "talk them down," which doesn't work. Yes, AI can be destructive to the environment, but most technologies have been before, and we learned each time how to not have that happen. If AI allows you to get more work done because you don't have to debug as much, I think that's wonderful. Developers should learn to debug, of course, but if coding a huge project takes 100 days of coding and 600 of debugging and AI makes it 80 and 10, that's a plus in anyone's book. The problem of AI stealing copyrighted material is an issue, though, and I won't fight you on that.
