    Hmmm. . The doc links aren't working at the moment. And I don't know why. Unfortunately I can't get back on a computer for another 8 hours or so so I can't fix it. Hael or Alv shoild have acess to all the docs though, so if one of them could post the links and see if they work?

    Fin: Hatred cannot Die, as long as Man Survives. Maw grasped the Scholar’s hand and shook. “I’ll miss working with you Nyra. You helped cause a lot of chaos.” The woman released his hand and moved both of hers behind her back, standing straight and proud. “Fact. The Chaos served a Purpose. I would not work with you otherwise. I do not believe you hold any loyalty to me. Theory. You wanted all of us Shattered. Not just those aligned against Hal.” Maw still didn’t know what to make of Nyra’s odd way of talking. All logic and Practicality. She would have made a better holder for Survival than him, truth be told. But as long as she held Preservation, he couldn’t give it to her. Nyra wasn’t strong enough to hold two shards at once. “That doesn’t matter, does it Ny? You used me, I used you, we both got further ahead in life. You’ll just get to experience the Second State before I will. Save me a seat will you?” For a moment, a ghost of a grin appeared on her face, but it was gone before he could confirm its existence. “I will Maw. I wish you Luck in surviving when they come for you.” “I’d wish you the same, but I don’t think any amount of Luck can save you know.” Maw took a step back and bowed low to his partner in Chaos. When he straightened, he was already in Shadesmar. Now then, where to next? Leyton and Stick would come for him. But Nyra would delay them long enough that he could find somewhere among the stars to Hide. Autonomy would probably take him in. Their intents matched up pretty well. Or he could go and hunt down Second. The colourless Cremling still deserved death for his crimes. It took only a slight expenditure of power to set off through the sea of beads to Taldain. No matter what happened, Maw would Survive. Fact: Nothing lasted forever. Even with all the Power of Preservation at her hands, she couldn’t stay her own death. It was a cruel Irony that having the power to kill would have let her survive, but holding the power to protect ensured her death. Fact: Leyton was coming for her. He held Endowment and Odium. Theory: He was coming to kill her. Nyra waited as Leyton, wreathed in Investiture of all colours, landed before her. The Blue of Honour, the Violet of Dominion, Cultivation’s Yellow, Ruin’s Bronze, Endowment’s Green. And the bloodred of Odium. The man before her held nearly half the power that created the Cosmere. All for her. He really knew how to make a lady feel special. “Fact. You have come to kill me. You intend to use my Lord’s own Power to end me.” Leyton grinned before responding. When he did, the colours surrounding him faded, letting the red of Odium fill the space. “It’s only fitting for the last Champion to die to her own Hatred.” “Fact. I have none. All the Hatred among the shards is owned by those gone before us, as well as you and your ally.” “No hatred at all? That does explain how you hid for so long. Still, Hater or not, you’re the enemy.” Odium’s Investiture slithered across his chest, coalescing over his hand and arm into the the shape of a sword. “And unlike the Shards of old, I won’t leave an enemy alive.” Nyra called all the Power of Leras into existence, forging a barrier out of nothing more than the will to remain Unchanged. The sword of Odium struck the Barrier, sending a wave of sparks into the air around them. Leyton pulled back his arm and swung again, striking the barrier harder. Sparks filled the air, but Stability could hold out against Hatred until the Cosmere itself died. Leyton narrowed his eyes, no longer grinning. “Stability is of course, one of the most defensive powers in the cosmere. I should have guessed that wouldn’t work. But don’t get your hopes up yet.” He held his left hand out, and as Nyra watched, the Bronze of Ruin’s Investiture flowed across his body and formed into a second sword. Hatred and Destruction. Odium and Ruin. Leyton clapped his hands together, forcing the shards together, into one. Their colours mixed, becoming darker, angrier. “Decay, Shard of Malicious Destruction. Entropy given will. I’ll bet this can break your barrier.” He lunged forward swinging the newly forged Shard with all his might. It struck the immovable barrier and forced it backwards. Without pause, he followed up with an overhead blow, and another from the side. Each strike chipped away at Preservation’s power. Cracks spread through the shield, forming a spiderweb of damage. Nyra dropped to one knee, consolidating her remaining power into a smaller dome. Leyton grinned once more and struck again at his weakened target. As he did, he let power of Dominion flow into his blade. The strike of three shards sheared through the barrier, taking off Nyra’s upraised arms as well. She fell backwards, her barrier fading away. The pain didn’t reach her mind. Nyra’s thought were untroubled by what should have been a terrible symphony coming from her nerves. Instead she felt a sense of peace, and victory. Finally, it was over. “Fact. I still win.” Her killer’s grin slipped again, replaced by a scowl. “Shut up Nyra. I’ve won.” He forced more power into the blade, making it burst into flames as he stabbed it downwards, through her chest and into the ground beneath her. The sheer power of the blow destroyed her completely, burning away her body it a rush of wind and flame. Leyton panted and leaned on his shards. he slowly caught his breath, before straightening up. He could feel the power of Preservation flowing into him, strengthening him. He grinned at it, and let it out, mixing it with Cultivation to form a suit of armor, a set of Plate to keep him safe. He raised the Sword of Domination high and watched the sunlight reflect off it. 7 shards now. Dominion, Ruin and Odium were combined in his Blade, Preservation and Cultivation in his Armor. Honour and Endowment were held back within him. An idle thought crossed his mind. How hard could it be to collect the remaining eight? He grinned at the thought. Endowment was fine, but being Adonalsium? That was something else entirely. He left the world behind and contemplated what to do next. Taldain and Vax were both nearby. Either would serve for his newfound purpose. He would bring an end to the Shards, and reforge God. No one would stand in his way now.

    The Cycle, and Game, is Over. Come back in an hour (Maybe two, depends on how long I take to do this Writeup Justice) to see who won or if it's a draw.

    Here's the thing, Shai wins automatically, because if she loses, she'll just stamp herself to have been Wayne the whole time! But then it would turn out that Shai was actually Wanye the whole time, and the real Shai would show up and reveal herself to be Patar. So I vote Shai.

    Joel tormander has finally received his invitation, thiugh it was actually sent to someone else. But Joel needed it more. I can't promise normal levels of activity. I'll post at least once per turn, but I'm going to be busier than usual during the next few weeks.

    I've actually been playing around with a quadrant idea, but I'm not sure it's a complete parallel. The allomancy Quadrant was sorted by Internal/External and Push/Pull as well. The allomancy chart was very deliberately organized.

    Night 15: The End of Days “Oh, the chaos! How amazing this is. I never thought the worlds would burn so thoroughly and completely.” Maw grinned as he faced off against the fuming Stick. “Why are you even against us Maw?” Stick’s words were spat out of his mouth, as if he were hoping they would kill their listener. “Odium is your enemy just as much as ours!” Maw shrugged. “I guess I’m not a fan of puppeteers.” The whole Cosmere could hear Stick’s teeth grinding together. “I curse the name of the one behind this all. Nyra! is the Enemy Maw! Help us kill her! Until we kill her, the Cosmere is in danger!” “In danger? It’s worse than in Danger Sitcky. You don’t even realize the consequences of your war, do you? Honour, Cultivation, Ruin, Devotion, Dominion, all dead! Five of the pillars that hold up the Cosmere, gone! Your war weakens the others. I give it a few days before the Cosmere itself dies.” “Maw, you’re such a monster! Survival isn’t supposed to care about Destruction!” “Shouldn’t I?” The grin fell from the farmer’s face. “Shouldn’t I really? You forget, I wasn’t always Survival. I spent far longer as Odium, lord of Hatred. I want to see everything burn, but I want to survive afterwards. The easiest way to survive is to be alone, completely.” Stick shook his head in disbelief at the outburst. “Whatever did we do, to make you take our World away? Are we your prey alone? Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?” “Definitely the stepping stone Stick. I won’t let you lynch Nyra. I need her alive. At least, for now. We'll see what the Future brings."

    Time.

    Odium. Not sorry at all. I just want to give the Lord of Unending Hatred, Unmaker, Void Caller, Bond Breaker, Patriarch of the Shattered Vows, Destroyer of Worlds, a chance. His opponent has to many votes already.

    Time. I'm not going to bother with a new thread, at least not for this day. Day 15: Shattering Point All things, be they objects, people or Shards, can be broken. All things have a point at which they can take no more damage. All things have a point at which they shatter, irreversibly. The Cosmere itself was close to that point. Odium's power grew unchecked the longer it remained whole, without Devotion to counter it. The Farmer had a Shattering Point. He knew it well. He had reached it once before in the distant past, when he had been the Lord Odium. He was relaxed and waiting, knowing he was far from his point. The Stick had a Shattering Point. He knew he was close to it. He had been burned before, barely surviving thanks to powerful Investiture. He was angry and excited, knowing the end was within his grasp. The Birdwatcher had a Shattering Point. She was unaware of its existence, and confidantly worked towards her goals, coming ever closer to it. She was determined and ready, striving for the end. The Traveler had a Shattering Point. He pretended otherwise, masking his worry and fear behind humor and bravado. He was nervous and confused, but willing to go the distance. None of them knew what would happen on this final day. All of them were prepared for anything the Cosmere could throw at them. None of them knew who would live to see the final night. Day 15 has begun! It will last only 24 hours! Remember that all PM's made before last turn are closed due to Cultivation's death. There will not be a cycle 16. If somehow, no one wins by the end of Night 15, I will declare it a draw.

    Note I'm only pretty sure. I can't find the WoB, so I might be off my rocker. Does anyone know of the WoB i'm thinking of?
  14. Jo and the Bush
    Pretty sure Brandon confirmed Devotion is Love. I'll see if I can find the WoB.
  15. Jo and the Bush
    Devotion is Love.

    Night 14: Sowing Salt It was hard not to hate them for what they did, especially since he wanted to hate them. But Additional Hatred would only make the last Champion stronger. So Dow accepted Death. All that grows must die after all. He knew he hadn’t grown as much as the previous Holder had, but hopefully the ideas he had planted would take root in his allies, and they would realize what needed to be done. If his carefully cultivated plans failed, then the only thing that would grow would be Hatred. They came for him. The Birdwatcher, the Farmer and the Traveler. All of them believed him to be a destroyer, one who tore things down. He was a Gardner, one who Built things up. Hoid had believed in him, but they ignored him. Leyton was the first to approach, calling the others to arms, and decrying him a murderer. Nyra merely followed along, agreeing in her odd way. Maw was the one to strike him down, swinging his bloody Scythe with a terrible lust in his eyes. Dow Welcomed his death, and the rest it would bring. Hopefully he wouldn't be joined by his fellows. Dowanx was a Awakener who held Cultivation! Days will now be shortened to 24 hours. Votes: Dowanx(3): Raven, Stink, Mailliw. Raven(2: Kipper, Dowanx Player List:

    Time has passed.

    I actually think he shattered Dominion because Autonomy was helping him. We have a WoB that Odium is scared of Harmony becuase he's two shards, so he would probably try to het an ally before going up against two allied shards, and if Dominion is Autonomy's opposite, it would make sense to recruit him. Plus Hoid doesn't like Bavadin, so he's probably like Rayse.

    LG14 is still going on Alv and Wilson. Please do be careful what you say.

    I actually think Corpsemaker would be a pretty good ruler. He doesn't need everyone to fear him like Steelheatt does, so only kills to prove a point. With his cancellation power being well known, epics would be less likely to attack a city he ruled, making it safer. All he wants is to be the top. He wants to know that Humanity is united under him. So if the easiest way to do that is to provide for them, he'll take that route. All my other charatcers either don't want to rule, or would actively cause anarchy.

    Lord Joshin and Lady Mi'Chelle are both Sliverists in Alloy of Law. Have either of them met Ironeyes?
  22. Jo and the Bush
    I actually own that Book. Very fascinating stuff in it.
  23. Jo and the Bush
    I don't understand Why I capitalize the Words I do. It just happens randomly.
  24. Jo and the Bush
    Does that Count? I mean, technically this whole RP is Fanon, so can fanon of fanon become Ascended Fanon?

    *Looks at current backstory. Crumples it up and throws it away* Wow Kobold, How did you guess?
