Awesomeness Summoned

An additional clarification to that note Clan... I assume that includes PM's from the dead to the living being prohibited? I haven't received any pm's from a dead player and I'm certainly not claiming that has been going on by anyone. But just in case, there is really no reason why any dead players should communicate with any living players about the game by pm.

You are just talking about the game right?

I'm gonna go with with pun cause that sounds better than typo. Also, could someone upvote cartith for me? Accidentally hit the down vote button.

Liar occurs before the shattering of adonalsium so hemalurgy, as it's known on scadrial, wouldn't have existed yet. It's possible Adonalsium had a form of Investiture similar to hemalurgy but based on what I've read in Liar so far, I don't think Hoid was running around killing people to steel their powers.

Glad you've delurked and welcome to the community. That's one of the great things about the Cosmere idea. It makes rereads all the more interesting as you notice things you missed the first time. You might want to read through the Cosmere 101 thread if you haven't already so you have an idea of what things you should be looking out for when you read. After that, if you want to really start at the beginning, a few parts of Liar of Partinel (origin story for Hoid) is available on Brandon's website. The rest of the books have more or less been published in chronological order so reading them by publication date would probably work just fine, though I'd finish with the stormlight books since they have the most crossover.

We know Hoid has a form of lightweaving (from Yolen, not the KR type, but similar), he has at least some forms of feruchemy, and he has/had a bead of larasium at some point which he could have used to make himself a mistborn. It's also likely he's picked up some breaths but not sure if there have been any hints at that. I'm not sure if it's been explained how he got his feruchemical abilities but I doubt he uses hemalurgy. Not because it's a nefarious method but because Brandon has stated that Hoid, due to things in his past, is incapable of harming someone else directly. If he uses spikes, they would have to be ones someone else added the charge to.

I've always thought the squire thing is akin to bonding. The KR is forming a bond with them which grants them access to stormlight via the KR's spren bond. Sanderson takes a lot of time showing the growing relationship between Kal and his men (as well as Shallan and her followers). In addition to characterization, I feel like it's demonstrating the growing bond between them, resulting in their squireship.

I'd love to see how that conversation would go between Peter and the admins

i can tell you from experience, giving your breath will only pass what you still have unused. The awakened object remains and you can later retract those breaths if you need. If you want to give alli all your breath, you would need to get them back from the awakened objects first

Being a middle aged male, simple comments like that shouldn't make songs from Frozen pop into my head but hey that's what 7 nieces and nephews will do to you.To the tune of Reindeer are better than People: Waffles are better than pancakes Joe, don't you think that's true? Yeah, pancakes are soggy, they're runny and oblong They all make me gag, except blue(berry) But pancakes are easier than waffles Joe, don't you think I'm right? That's once again true, for all except blue(berry) You got me. Let's cook this one right I'm starved. Good till the very last bite.

Just tell people that you did it on purpose because you wanted to create your own cover with the Book's Original Title.

Castle is alright but I can watch episodes of Firefly over and over when they are on tv and they never get old. Best show to ever only go one season.Also, if you've seen the movie, this is the funniest outtake you'll ever see (PG-13):

Pretty sure that's what Matrim was referring to. But since you added that link i'll go ahead and add the honest trailer link. I laugh at, "Her sister, a merchant, a hot guy, and a snowman" and the new words to Love is an Open Door every time I watch it.

Ditto. The first time I saw the movie I was sad for the girls when... The "Honest Trailers" for frozen is worth watching as well. As much as I like Frozen, their criticisms are pretty hilarious.

--- Raises a hand --- I was really happy with how they ended things too. The last episode left me pretty satisfied.

I actually just looked back through the game during my lunch break and noticed that I had missed a detail that makes Rick less suspicious. He originally voted for Jeo before changing to Dyrii after that pm craziness. Wil'son also voted for Jeo at that point as well. While it doesn't completely exonerate them, I seriously doubt PK would have been voting for each other at that point just to avoid suspicions later on. Its too much of a risk. You make a good point as well @Sphinx about Jeo voting for Ver so now I'm rethinking all my current suspicions. With those three crossed off the list, the only Hallendrens left that I'm really unsure of are Gammer, Sart, Ben, and Dainard (though I feel like I previously had a reason Dainard wasn't PK and can't remember what it was... maybe I should join the list crowd and keep track of these things somewhere other than my head).

Yes, she's not behaving very Elsa like, more Anna-esque actually. Maybe she's post frozen Elsa.

Depending on what Rick turns out to be, my day four suspect list has been at least 50% accurate: I'm still rather suspicious of Ver though so haven't decided yet if I'm going to vote for him or Rick today. Edit: on a side note... I think the fact that I had all three of those listed as suspects pretty much validates me as not being one of them.

Well, to be frank, many of them have been PK so I wouldn't be too upset about it. Plus, there were an equal number on both sides killed by the good guys last night. The second Idrian was taken out by a PK. The biggest factor, though, is likely that the Idrian PK were easier to identify. The numbers aren't nearly as skewed as your statistic indicates either. If you take into account the fact that Dirt is an Idrian agent, its only 9 to 7 which isn't too out of balance. All the Idrian PK are elliminated now as well so Hallandrens will likely be targeted more at night now. I imagine it will be back to fairly even numbers by the time we get the last PK.

You assume he uses his real name when posting on here.

Summon laid in bed long after the morning light began to pour through his window. Every day he got more used to life as a drab but it was still difficult working up the courage to face the prospects of another, especially with the added gloom of a potential death from an angry mob of delegates or some fanatical Pahn Kahl. He heard the expected patter and faint scratches that quickly moved across the floor leading from the cracked open window to his bedside. After six mornings, he was getting used to the routine and didn't want to break tradition so he chose to keep his eyes closed, feigning sleep. A very slight amount of weight, barely noticeable, climbed up his right thigh then quickly moved up his body ending at the center of his chest. Summon imagined the bundle of dead grass, molded to resemble human form, staring down at it's creator and trying to workout with its limited intelligence how to report it's information to someone who was asleep. After a few moments, Summon thought he heard a slight rustling sound that repeated. was it attempting to clap?. Then, the strawman began to jump rather vigorously on his chest. Summon was tempted to crack an eyelid to see the antics and was barely able to hold back a smile. Finally, the strawman's patience wore thin and he began to vigorously beat his little arms against Summon's nose. "Okay, okay! I'm awake. What's your news?. Was Tril up to anything suspicious last night?" Summon didn't have much hope of that being the case. The missions he sent the strawman on previous nights had been at Aodan's bidding and had mostly just confirmed people were doing what they were supposed to be doing. This evening though, Summon had been free to choose his own target. He initially planned to keep an eye on Ver in keeping with his accusations from the previous day but at the last minute decided to send his little helper after Tril. Ever since Dyrii's death, Summon just felt like there was something off about that man. Typically, Summon found the strawman's pantomime attempts at explaining what it's target had been up to quite entertaining. Today, he was completely confused. Things started out great. It seemed he had chosen his target well and that Tril attempted to kill someone last night, meaning Summon had just identified an assassin. Apparently, Tril was then attacked himself and the next set of motions made absolutely no sense. "Wait. What does that mean?" The strawman repeated the actions he'd just made, wiggling his whole body while jumping into the air. Then he hid under the blanket. Summon scratched his head in thought. "The attacker threw him out a window?" No. "Tril didn't die from the attack but is hiding?" No. "Okay, show me again what happened to Tril." The strawman started pulling out bundles of grass and tossing them into the air. "Stop! Stop!" He was going to destroy himself if he kept that up. Summon wasn't sure what that would do to the stored breath. A thought occurred to him. "Tril fell apart... Evaporated?" Yes. The sword. He had a moment of joy that another Pahn Kahl was eliminated, even if it was through some very unsavory means. He then realized that meant his strawman had been wasted since Tril's culpability had already been known and he grew depressed again at being useless. He sent the strawman to its usual hiding place to await future instructions then laid his head back down and closed his eyes, no intentions of facing the day yet. His messages could wait till the afternoon.

As long as he doesn't shoot them too far to pull back, never.

Fixed. That look any better?

And Rep is his investiture!

A thesis on RAFO... guess it was inevitable.
