    I was only partially serious on that. Obviously, it's wild speculation based on (as you noted) absolutely baseless assumptions. But it's an interesting possibility!

    According to googlemaps, Manhattan goes up to Marble Hill, which is well within the circle. Edit: My brain just stopped working...lol. Too much to do.
  3. RShara
    I really like that idea (except for the Knowledge being a bad thing theme in the original story).
  4. RShara
    Ah, I see what you're saying. It could work, but I think it'd leave too much area to search through. This is with data points as far north as possible, then to the SE
  5. RShara
    I'm sorry, I guess I'm confused. Even looking at your drawing, the only part of the island outside of the red circle is to the SW. If, as Voidus suggested, they use the far NE and far SW, they should be able to pinpoint her location fairly well. Data points in the SE wouldn't be very useful if they already have them in the NE and SW Blue is the NE and SW that I'm talking about. Orange is in the most SE portion of the city.

    Fifth of Daybreak--So anything in the SE, unless it's off the island, doesn't seem to be very useful? SW, and NE are the two directions that are most useful. Peter, yeah 5 km would work, but then you'd have to change the line where they say Changing southeastern to northeastern seems the simplest solution.
  7. RShara
    Sure
  8. RShara
    No, because a datapoint on the southeast of the city would basically cover the entire area, and really wouldn't narrow anything down.
  9. RShara
    So the simplest fix for the error would be to change the text from "southeastern" to "northeastern" and it should be a reasonable theory.
  10. RShara
    Mmmm. Yeah, that could work. But that would only work if her range is exactly 5 miles, which seems unlikely (maybe?). Points to the N, NE, SW are still the most useful if we're limited to the island, but a couple of points off the island to the E and W would be awfully handy.
  11. RShara
    Except it can be anywhere along that line, which is around 3 miles wide. That's still a lot of buildings.

    That poem is like....poop on ice cream! It's horrible, it's bad for you, but you can't help but laugh at it and wonder how it got there.
  13. RShara
    Wow really, she can control that much water that closely? That's pretty neat. Instead of Tia saying that she needed datapoints to the SE, the North, NorthEast (in the water) or SSW would all be helpful. SE, W and NW are largely unhelpful due to the narrowness of the land/water in those directions. If you want to go the slightly more difficult route, 5 kilometers instead of 5 miles would work. Or, they are willing to go outside of Manhattan.

    You win the internets for today!

    Page 50 for the ebook version. Chapter 9, sixth paragraph. "The door clicked closed behind me, and I pointed my rifle that direction." Missing an "in" between "rifle" and "that".

    I find it interesting that Calamity is described similarly to a star, and Lucifer means Light-bringer.
  17. RShara
    Peter, can we have an official word on the possible error in this thread? Page 3 is where the discussion becomes um...useful. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/22517-spoilers-2-firefight-errors/page-3
  18. RShara
    So they realize the problem, but are really fuzzy about the solution, because their idea really shouldn't work if they stay inside of Manhattan.
  19. RShara
    I assumed she meant what she did to Obliteration--take a chunk of his DNA and stick it in a machine.
  20. RShara
    I added Waterlog, and a couple more that Conflux mentions in Steelheart. I'm guessing Waterlog's abilities involved water manipulation Also, these epics are really bad at coming up with superhero names!
  21. RShara
    I'm...not convinced Calamity is actually an epic
  22. RShara
    Didn't the Prof hold off Steelheart at the end of book 1? Ultimately, if Prof doesn't know Steelheart's weakness, then Steelheart will win, because he can't be damaged at all, whilest Prof relies on his energy fields to keep himself safe. He doesn't have precog, reincarnation, or endless energy, so eventually he would tire or make a mistake. He does self-heal automatically, but I think Steelheart could rip him to pieces, or turn him to steel, maybe, to get around that?
  23. RShara
    Awww thanks!
  24. RShara
    I wonder if it'll still be called Atlanta, or be renamed like Newcago and Babilar. If it's the coven, maybe Covlanta?
  25. RShara
    ...Really, I was downvoted for that? I was at least 50% serious. David wasn't afraid of water until very recently, so *if* he was an Epic all along, that wouldn't be his weakness. He hasn't described any particular nightmares, either, so it seems unlikely that he's been an Epic. He's just really dedicated and good at what he does!
