I know all the words to Be Our Guest.... Since, you know, that's relevant.
-
I can understand that. Heck, I say all of my names with a mouth full of seawater, doesn't everyone?
-
*whispers* PSTTT, Gloom - his name is Yalb.
-
I think all of you guys talking about quantum gibberish is making my head hurt. I'm going to go take an Aspren now.
-
I find this hilarious and awesome. I would like to point out that Renarin read Glyphs, not words... Kaladin can read Glyphs too... IS KALADIN A GIRL TOO!? (sorry, I had to).
-
I can understand that. I figure that I can always rebuy the book if I want to re-read it.

Hey guys, I was just thinking about this today and thought it would be a good topic. Does anyone else follow this sentiment? I love bringing new people to the books I love (Almost as much as I love reading them myself) and I have always told the people that I lend the book to that they can give it back if they want, but they shouldn't feel obligated to. If they like it enough they should pass it on to someone else.

I think that is really dependent upon the officer. My commanding officer when I was in Iraq was a woman and she would respond to Ma'am but preferred sir. When I asked her why she told me something along the lines of she didn't her subordinates to see her as a man or a woman, but as their leader. And, in the English language sir tends to be more gender neutral (lacking a truly gender neutral title).

Thank you Mysty, I might have misspoke slightly. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska where Brandon grew up. Thank you though! *EDIT* You did confirm that one is going on SOMEWHERE at least!
-
I can't find one anywhere nearby. Are they going on at all anywhere, or is it just Brandon's home town that is getting the shaft?
-
Haha, I kind figured that might happen. :/ I'm going to think about it more tonight and see if I can get some more roles and environments put together for that to work.

Could we do a 17th shard based one? Where different members have random abilities from every world and we have been infiltrated by Hoid (using his lightweaving powers) and we are trying to figure out who he is? Hoid would theoretically be able to have access to all powers we currently know he possess and he could have his Lerasium bead (which he could keep, or give to someone he converts to become a mistborn). I would need your guys assistance in figuring out what powers he and the 17th shard members would have. But, I think this would be a fun way to tie all of the known cosmere worlds together. *Note* we would also need to figure out how he could convert people.

Adolin is going to have so many shard blades he might just try to tri-wield them.
-
I hope you all know I hate you. This game is half of my entertainment at work and you guys gave me almost nothing today.... rude
-
Anyone can add me to a PM if they want! I have been following the posts religiously, but missed the deadline by 6 hours to get in. *EDIT* added blue.

I wouldn't say Dalinar is doing it for personal reasons. In his mind he has the remnants of the Almighty telling him to unify the knights radiants for the coming everstorm. He is also trying to unite the 10 highprinces so they can finish this war and prepare for the everstorm. He doesn't show much joy or excitement from politics, he is doing it out of necessity. In my opinion this all sounds pretty selfless not selfish. As far as breaking the codes goes, it states officers of this camp. After Sadeas' betrayal can you really say you see the Highprinces as being part of the same camp? They are virtually all individual armies with a common enemy. They follow the king because it benefits their pockets. If they really were all one army then I highly doubt that Dalinar would need to go to such lengths to make them follow his orders... Also, the codes say they may be needed to command - there is nothing in the preview chapter that states the Lighteyes he fought was hurt, you are all just inferring that because of the damage to his armor. We have seen armor getting shattered before with no damage to the wielder, why would this be different? He should still be able to command and fight.

I feel that Syl's words about telling the future being of the voidbringer are mildly skewed by the fact that Honor was so bad at it. Cultivation is supposedly supposed to be very good at it.
-
Not big on correcting someone, but I think Waxed and Wayned is what you were going for. I, myself, am terrible with puns - so now I take my leave.
-
You're right. I didn't go back and read it, I was just interpreting my memories. They apparently like Adolin a lot.
-
Dyring, This made me crack up, well done sir.
-
I feel that the Duel and how it went is an argument against him feeling the thrill. I think he ended the duel so fast because he wasn't feeling the trill. So, his logical mind told him to end it fast.
-
Moogle, you're a dreamstomper - I thought I had a Gem here. P.S. Thank you - I'll see if I can track down that WoB.

So, I know a lot of people aren't going to like this - but here we go. Let's start off with the reasons people think that Dalinar is becoming a Radiant: The back cover implies about a Bondsmith whom many feel is the name of the last unknown order of the KR. He is acting more Honorably something we associate with KR His visions His obvious desire to reform the KR OK, I'm probably missing a few in there, but that's the gist of it. Now take a step back from your bias and your love for Dalinar (he is a bleeping amazing character). While I agree he is the Bondsmith (WoB have confirmed t he 5 PoV characters, and it would make sense if they matched up with the 5 titles on the cover) I personally believe that Bondsmith has a different meaning and is not an order of the KR. I think Dalinar is taking over for his brother and leading the front to reforging the Bond with the spren. What is another for when you forge something? You Smith something. This making me feel he is more playing the roll of Nohadon in the creation of the KR. I believe that he is the Bondsmith for the radiants and his actions are helping unite the world in preperation for the Everstorm. *Caveat* if there is a WoB stating he has a spren, just go ahead and tell me so I know my last 30 minutes looking up stuff was wasted for nothing. Pick it apart ladies and gentlemen!

Who will be next to speak an Ideal of the Knights Radiant?

Reviving a dead topic: Szeth's Shardblade is an Honourblade
Macen replied to Aether's topic in Stormlight Archive
Aminar, I didn't support this theory until the latest release where Eshonai discusses that fact that they are unsure if Kaladin is a Surgebinder or someone holding an Honorblade (they also seemed terrified of the idea of there being a surgebinder). This pretty much cements the fact that Szeth is holding an honorblade. Take into account that they sent Szeth to kill Gavilar (they had to of known of his powers, or they wouldn't have been so certain he could do it) and we know can assume that Szeth is holding an Honorblade. Since Szeth hasn't used any power OTHER than a windrunners powers, we make the asumption that it is Jezrien's blade (he is the windrunner herald). Hopefully that all makes sense....
