Yeah. As complex as Game 4 was, this game looks to be even more so. At least after this there will be a model for a full Elimination game on every published Shardworld, excepting Sel.

I'm about 90% sure I saw him as Surgebinder right at 1300. Sorry I didn't post it.

I probably need something like that for this game. I was having a terrible time following the last one.

Wow. You get a little too into this game...

Why yes, it does. (And your new sig gives me nightmares, by the way.)

I thought it was that fractal thing that forms the shape of Roshar somehow?

That's actually true. Except for the Hidden Things in Map of Roshar thread. That was a monster.

and crusty Shardbaguettes.

I try to maintain a healthy balance, however. Everything in moderation. I love the silliness just as much, though!

So I guess that bonding a human increases their Physical aspect to the point that they can better access their Cognitive aspect in the Physical Realm? Maybe?

I was running under the assumption that no characters from the books are present but we are still doing the War of Reckoning. But some players made reference to Sebarial. So I don't know.

When you have an inferiority complex because you post mostly in silly threads and don't post intellectually often enough. When you are enough of a fan to care about the above issues in the first place. Lolz that was exactly 2:26 in the afternoon my time.

I was kind of thinking that too. I agree. In fact, going off of what PorridgeBrick said, maybe the reason they have such a greater Cognitive aspect is that they are using their Radiant's Cognitive aspect, thereby growing their own. Syl kind of fell apart when Kaladin left her, returned more to that windspren type consciousness level, but was overall left a little more intelligent, at least enough to desire to return to him.

I don't think that Nightblood could become Odium in the same way a human can. Humans are a separate unit of intelligence in and of themselves that can control a Shard. Yes, many humans have part of Shards related to their intelligence, but theirs does not come entirely from Shards, being more based on it. Nightblood, however, is a Splinter of Endowment stuck inside a sword, no more. He is a large price of a Shard that has gained intelligence and has its own Intent. I view Splinters, because of their often having their own Intent, as mini-Shards. Therefore, I don't think that Nightblood could really hold on to Odium in any way. Unlike a human, which can process information without the filtering if an Intent and even still are molded by a Shard's intent, Nightblood is a little piece of a Shard. Big Shard is greater than Little Shard. As I see it, Odium would consume Nightblood before vice versa would occur.

Interesting idea. It seems to work with, for example, Nightblood. He is hard-coded to destroy evil. My first thought was that it wouldn't work with spren, but I guess those that are intelligent (Pattern and Syl being the main ones we've seen thus far, and Wyndle too to an extent) are also very clearly focused in a simple, childlike sort of way. Spren seem a bit more developed as characters than Nightblood, though. More three dimensional. I wonder if we'll see a bit more development from his character in Book 3.

I don't know about that, but we have this interesting bit of info: (source)

I just realized I was 12th to join this game, just like I was in the last one. Maybe this should become a thing for me. (I like things now. Things are cool.) Did you understand that reference?

Weiry beat me to providing that quote, but I just wanted to point out that not all spren are necessarily Splinters of Honor. Some seem to be of both him and Cultivation, some of one or the other (Honorspren are just of him, I believe), and some are almost certainly of Odium, such as the voidspren we've seen this far. Not too important, but still.

Well, the television rights have been purchased. I think it works better as a TV show, in fact, given that the books don't really have a unified plot within each and are told in a fairly episodic nature. A movie would not be as satisfying to audiences, I feel, since the plot isn't that cohesive. Kingkiller is about true storytelling, not real plot development, and I believe it is easier to develop a story through a TV series than in a movie where you are really only trying to get in and get out.

Ooo that's cool about Easter eggs. I shall make a point to look for the rest as they come. Mwahaha I got the Easter Egg for Massachusetts first!

I didn't mean to!

Just to make it known, that song is only a little exaggerated...

Yeah, Awesomeness. That's totally not awesome!
