Ok, Kaladist. What's your favourite ketek you've made?

Wow that took a while to go through. I probably missed a lot. Anyways. My take is that a) Aliroz doesn't like the fact that spren are being imprisoned in fabrials, and that Navani is ignoring a lesser deity to continue her work. I agree. Mostly. The "lesser" spren don't APPEAR to feel anything negative from being imprisoned, but the fact is that the Sibling said they do, and so she should just trust the Sibling. b) Aliroz doesn't like the Alethi conquererors, especially with regards to the War of Reckoning. I agree. The fact that the immediate reaction of the Alethi after Gavilar's death was not asking the Listeners why they had done it, but rather immediate mobilisation of the Highprinces to exterminate the Listeners is despicable and shows a lust for war. Vorinism is literally based on the idea of eternal battle (remember when Dalinar asks an ardent what will happen after they reclaim the Tranquilline Halls? He says, "I'm sure there'll be more war for you to enjoy." Obviously paraphrasing). The fact that it took 6 YEARS for Dalinar to even think of negotiation is truly disgusting. c) I think there was more, but I forgot. If anyone would like to summarise the key arguments, feel free.

I like the Elsecaller combo. And that is DEFINITELY not influenced by the fact that I am an Elsecaller.

Ben-Hur - the rewritten edition by Carol Wallace.

I'm not the one who suggested worshipping Glass - sure she's a nice person, but I'm not going to worship her. (No offence, Glass). Which mountain? Mount Sinai?

Maybe... What about Through The Living Malkier? As in... bad? To be followed up with slaughter and drinking water mingled with gold dust, and plague? Because that's what happened to the Israelites.

When you look at this post now... I also have literally no idea what this is.

My name doesn't really work for this, so...

If it was going to be someone, it was going to be Coder.

I don't post enough to be quotable. Unless someone would beg to differ?

Anyone relating to this? I've thought about doing something like this, but I'm not sure if I want to go to all the effort.

Good old Pythagoras. I actually have an idea for a dice-based war game that would be ideal on a hex-based grid map, and it would encompass the classic medieval archetypal units - spearmen, heavy spearmen, swordsmen, heavy swordsmen, archers, crossbowmen, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and cavalry archers. The idea is that different units have different bonuses to their attacks based on who they are fighting - i.e. cavalry have negative to their attacks against spearmen, and spearmen have positive to their attacks. They all also have a defense value bonus that remains constant. PM me if you want more details.

I do like a good hex grid battle map. It makes manoeuvring more interesting.

In the words of Confucius: It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop. Elsecaller 6th Ideal. Journey before Destination, Radiants. Having completed my 6th Ideal, I have successfully bonded a Therapyspren - her name is Hope.

Not really. All we need is to make a decision on what to do immediately after you announce what has happened. That way, we'll be going at 1 move/day instead of 1 move/week or month.
