  1. Exactly IAU should change it Neither They don't count in my planet definition because they still do nuclear fusion, just not with hydrogen-1
  2. Yes, that does sound like a very nice party. I can Allik and Rock getting along well with each other
  3. You know, I recommend you sign up for everything you want to run even if you don't have rulesets yet The wait time is like a year I signed up in August, and I'm still 19th on the MR list
  4. Exactly why we need a new definition Pluto isn't a planet, and that should be clear Coder, Pluto got demoted when Eris was discovered, and Eris was very similar to Pluto in a lot of ways, so if Pluto was considered a planet, and Eris would have to be one too, and then you could argue that every other dwarf planet-sized object should also be a planet, which would make the number of planets 20ish, possibly more
  5. Welcome to the Shard! If you could invite any 6 Sanderson characters to a party, who would you invite?
  6. Well, there are also objects like NEOs not in Lagrange points that cross our orbit, and similar objects for other planets. All I'm saying is, a 'cleared orbit' is quite ambiguous. Also I forgot some extra criteria: 3) The celestial body is not capable of nuclear fusion on a large scale 4) It has a density less than [minimum white dwarf density] Nothing discovered so far fits these criteria and isn't considered a planet, and so they work. The definition says it must orbit the Sun. Also I can't find the ALIENS!!! topic, I think it might've been deleted. It says the Sun

  8. Lynx uses 2 basic attacks on the wounded corpse and reflect again
  9. True But I think it can work, eventually; the planets in our solar system aren't changing, it just makes things more consistent and adds exoplanets.
  10. Well yes, but it happened when Pluto was demoted, and Ceres and some asteroids before that It can happen
  11. Yup, this argument annoys me greatly. Now, I'd like to build on what I said in the aliens thread: I think the planet definition should change, though not to include Pluto I think it should be: A certain mass threshold is cleared (something around 10^23 kg) It orbits a star This way, there can be no ambiguity on whether something has reached hydrostatic equilibrium, and what exactly counts as a 'nearly round' shape There can also be no debate around whether a planet's orbit is cleared; all planets except Mercury have Trojan asteroids in their orbits. And as a final perk, exoplanets actually count with this one
  12. There are sign ups open right now, but the game is... very complicated Not a recommended first game You need to warn the GM(s) if possible, and you might be replaced. It is best if you are able to log on at least once per turn.
  13. The magic system is called scriving, and it works in some ways like AonDor and Soulstamping, but also different It has a set of symbols that you can use to alter the reality of something: you can inscribe certain symbols, or sigils as they're called, on an axe to make it preternaturally strong, or be able to cut through wood like water And you can scrive a wheel so that it thinks down is forwards, so you can put a carriage on it and suddenly it doesn't need a horse You can scrive an arrow to think that the direction it is fired in is now down, so that it gains speed after launch, and you can also scrive it to think it's already been falling for several minutes, so it starts very fast too. That's the basic idea; it is a really cool magic system, with near limitless potential. I only wish that the books had illustrations so I could see what some of the sigils were.
  14. How I got into space... Well, I don't remember exactly, but I learnt the names of the planets when I was 6, so I guess it started with that My favourite part of space currently is cosmology: the history and future of the larger universe
  15. The Founder's Trilogy The last book in it is my favourite non-Cosmere book and my 3rd favourite book overall It's epic fantasy with a hard magic system, and the climaxes, to me at least, feel just like Sanderlanches
