Awesomeness Summoned

There have now been two different accusations made against Xanas (fishing for the spanreeds and naming an heir during the day for no reason) as well as a few other suspicions cast his way without any kind of a response. I didn't feel like I had enough reason to vote for you before but I would like to get at least some kind of a response to those so I'm going to go ahead and say Xanas until you do. Saturdays are really busy for me but if I get a satisfactory response from you and I end up getting a chance to, I'll try and retract my vote later.

I hate to take the wind out of your sails but lord Claincy Fnord has been keeping a running list going over on the New Reputation Levels thread: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/7084-new-reputation-levels/?p=116468

It's a known error that the admins have been unable to debug yet. Everyone gets it occasionally. We just delete them before hitting post. I lovingly refer to them as Fatal Error Spren. Chaos, the administrator who oversees most of the technical aspects of the website, made a thread about the error you can read here: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6552-fyi-this-is-an-error-i-know-about/?p=106790

If you are a fan of Renarin, these topics might interest you: Edit: sorry I just realized you said you hadn't read WoR so I would suggest not reading some of these yet Also, just wait for Featherwriter to notice this thread. She'll help it along

Someone was following him. Awes was sure of it now. At first it was just the uneasy feeling that he was being watched but then there were the slight glimpses of movement he kept catching out of the corner of his eye. He’d shrugged it off as just excess paranoia from the recent events but if anything the signs were getting more obvious. The Ghostbloods wouldn’t be so bold as to attack me in broad daylight would they? Besides, what threat am I to them? They were difficult to hear but slight footsteps were definitely keeping pace with his own form the next street over. Awes needed to find another rout to today’s place of meeting and quickly. He slowed down to get a bearing on which alley way might take him in that direction then quickly turned down one and started sprinting once the pursuing footsteps had fallen behind. Awes made more turns in his mad flight then he could keep track of and ended up completely lost. He was confident no one would have been able to track his chaotic path and stopped to catch his breath. A large figure came barreling around a corner headed straight at Awes. He turned in a panic to flee but ran straight into a pole which knocked him flat on his back. When the spots began to clear he found Stomper’s massive head looking down on him, nickering and snorting in obvious satisfaction. Before Awes could regain enough sense to voice his displeasure, Stomper nipped at his hair, removing a large chunk by the roots. He then turned and cantered down the street with his trophy. Awes shakily rose to his feet and hurled a few insults at the Ryshadium’s dwindling hind quarters but Stomper only pranced more proudly in response. After one more angry puff, Awes turned to carry on his way only to then run straight into a smiling Xanas. “Very enlightening indeed. I have often wondered at the force of will Ryshadium trainers must possess in order to command such noble animals. I see now that I should be even more wary of your prowess during these debates.” With one last knowing smirk, Xanas departed along the path. Awes dusted himself off, mustered what pride he had left, then continued on his way, resigned to face what was already shaping up to be another disaster of a day. Edit: spelling

I think he meant a name for someone that has all three abilities. Similar to how they are called twinborns in AoL. Edit: Actually an idea just came to me. Since they encompass the full spectrum of Harmony's investiture, how about Harmonics?

1) If you didn't see it, there is a Sanderson Fan-fiction section here in the Creator's Corner, but this would be a fine place to brainstorm before actually writing I think. 2) Think the fact there is a category for fan-fic means they are generally well received here. 3) There are some definite Scadrian Magic Aficionados in this forum that will likely already have opinions on that matter so I'll leave those suggestions up to them.

You are implying that a google book isn't technically an ebook (I get what you really mean, just thought it was an interesting classification)

Still pretty impressive you deciphered it based off a random shout-out. Cudos!

Whoops... should have been more clear. I meant for Lurthemir to tell us how he figured it out.

Answer the question! We must know!

Where did you find that picture of me?!?! That woman and I are not on very friendly terms anymore and I have tried to delete all evidence of our friendship since. She accused me of giving her leprosy. So racist.

Was that right? Cause if it is I'm quite impressed and it definitely deserves an upvote.

Not sure if you are just saying they should contact you tonight, but just so you know, new pm groups can't be created during the day. It's a night action.

See, I feel just the opposite. The search function when using ebooks makes it way easier to locate an exact scene or phrase and being able to jump back and forth between any book in a series to refresh yourself on something is so nice. My WoR has been opened to admire the art and be signed by HoB (Hand of Brandon). Otherwise it has been hidden away on a protected shelf.

Hopeless as in the town is dwindling? The people are depressed? They are all destined for damnation? No one has a good fashion sense? What exactly does the most hopeless city mean?

There are already a couple people who know the identity of all three identified spanreed holders (not going to say one way or another if I am one of those people but what I'm saying can be corroborated), at least they claim to know who they all are. It is important that the GB do not identify all three holders and the more people who have knowledge of their identities the likelier it is that the GB will figure it out. We also do not want all three spanreed holders to know who each other are since it is a pretty high likelihood one of them is GB. I think your plan of giving that information to 5 different people almost guarantees the GB will get that information. Yes, a couple people should have that knowledge in order to snoop out the GB should one or two of the spanreeds die but 6-8 people is way too many. If that last spanreed holder chooses to send their identity to you, fine, that's their decision on who they want to know about themselves but I would suggest you don't pass it around to more people than who already knows. You fishing for that information like this bothers me more than just a little but I can see the logic of why you'd want to make sure a few people know the identity of the spanreeds in case they start getting knocked off so I won't jump to any conclusions just yet. What does an "authoritative" source mean? The only person who fits that description is Maili and I doubt he would be telling you the number of spanreeds

Gotta say, the fact that the mountains are reminiscent of the metal part of his previous icon's face is pretty darn clever.

The downvotes people gave you to keep you at that level were worth it for that post. Nobody upvote him until everyone has gotten a chance to read it.

And change your username to something similar to theirs

That has happened to me more than once "I don't remember posting that... ohhh... nevermind."

Ace = Macen so that would make sense for Maili having just missed your retraction. I can assure you I would have noticed if my name had been voted on, retracted, or listed incorrectly in the write up so I'm pretty sure Wurum is correct Edit: spelling

Finally! I've been waiting to be a cryptic for forever so my icon would match my rep.

Easy solution: Buy the eBook and abuse your eReader instead. Protect and pamper the beautiful hardback. Edit: The amount of abuse you've put it through is actually rather impressive.
