There's two areas. The Community Organizations (Orgs) - which could best be described as Light RP. (If you've ever been on Twitter.... Think Twitter of Time before Twitter of Time) Over in the White Tower you join the White Tower. Over in Shayol Ghul you stab people. I think the Black Tower blows stuff up. Either way, the various Orgs generally have a variety monthly activities and forum games for people to participate in. Speaking of Forum Games, Community Events and Community Games is an area where those Orgs sometimes showcase their events or Games for the rest of the community to join in. Then you have Roleplay. Which is actual Roleplay. Like D&D without the dice. Creative writing. @Elgee how did I do? lol

Somehow I missed this topic on Oct 1st... I was busy prepping my D&D campaign... I probably won't officially participate in NaNoWriMo this year... But I might tangentially participate in it this year by... actually trying to flesh out some of the details of my campaign in a less abstract way... which will probably be for naught as my players will be distracted by a squirrel.... lol

Nope. The Nielsen ratings are delayed a month... I'm not sure about international numbers... I think there is something but I don't have a link to it.

https://www.tor.com/2015/10/27/the-wheel-of-time-companion-strength-chart-of-major-channelers/ Technically, The only wonder girl she isn't stronger then is Nynaeve. There's some discrepancy between what the books say about her power level and the wonder girls and what RJ's notes state... And his notes don't state that her power level is with any additive support (sa'angrael/wells)

No problem. I hope that she is an amazing person, and that she is such an amazing actress that she has successfully created this gut feeling in me that I can't trust this "amazing person" personification she projects as trustworthy because of all the awful people she portrays in Movies... Because blocking another actresses nomination is exactly something one of her characters in one of her movies would do. lol So again. I hope I'm wrong and I will 100% eat crow when Madeleine Madden gets nominated for best actress. 😉

No you completely misunderstood the point I was making. Let me make this as perfectly clear as I can. Ashton Kutcher. Now replace the above with words "she" and "her" with "Ashton Kutcher". Why? Because until a few weeks ago. This was also true of Ashton Kutcher. Hence when @notpropaganda73 replied with this I was agreeing, and just making sure the context of "Ashton Kuthcer" reply was clear to notpropaganda73 and others by clarifying the context with the direct quote of just the bolded text in the original quote.

It was from that post. Literally could have scrolled up and read the post where I replied "Ashton Kutcher" and expanded the quote where I bolded the text I quoted you in...

The above quote, is why I replied with the name Ashton Kutcher.

Truth be told, I've personally re-read the series less than some of ya'll crazy people who re-read the before each new book came out, and then re-read it again every single year. I like to read new books, I don't got time to re-read the same book over and over again. Either way, I'm the guy that can go years between re-reads and still recall random information some of you can't recall a day after reading that same book! When I FIRST read the series, I read it very thoroughly. I was reading it between classes, even during class, and I'd often re-read the same chapter 6-10 times before moving on to the next chapter because I'd only get a paragraph in here, or a paragraph in there, and I'd just restart an entire chapter when if I had no idea what was going on. (Except the Perrin/Faile kidnap Chapters) When it comes to our individual attachment to a book series and how it's adapted (how accurately, well, poorly, etc) that just comes down to our individual personal views. There's adaptations that the fanbase absolutely despise, that I have no strong feelings about the adaptation. The Last Airbender is a prime example of this. I've never watched the Cartoon. I've heard it's an absolute crap adaptation, but I have no strong feelings on that front because the movie was just "meh". If anything, I recall that the casting in that film was severely guilty of being white washed. Then there's adaptations that are completely different from the original that I don't care that are different.. I actually ENJOY them better for being different. Case in point. The Shining. Then there's adaptations that I actively hate because I've read the source because they used the name nothing else. Example? I, Robot. As a film, it's an okay adventure flick. As an adaptation. I absolutely despise it. These are just my opinions. I don't try to force them down anyone's throat. I can give you reasons for my I think something works in an adaptation. Why I might like it in an adaptation. Or speculate how the changes made so far could affect future seasons based on what we know in the books, because for me that's half the fun of discussing an adaptation. If everything was exactly the same as the books, don't think we'd be discussing much of anything.

Let's put it this way. Cutting/Changing the clown arc, the people involved, putting Nami into the story earlier and making her a "traitor", really is the equivalent rewriting Moiraine's arc in S2 to give her "more to do" in S2 then what happened in the books. The "Captures the Heart" really comes down to style. One Piece had manga and an anime. We already knew HOW it looked, and HOW it sounded. Most people haven't reread the one piece manga 10 times, or rewatched the anime 10 times. How many times have some of us reread the WoT books?

I mean, that's not bad if you have access to a car and wanted to be an extra or something. Lmao

Having read the foundation series, There's a good reasons for this. 1. Asimov was great at world building. 2. The bulk of the first novel was basically a collection of short generational stories, repeating similar plots of one crisis or a other and what's his face's tape recorded message playing for everyone to say "hey, I was right." 3. Asimov's technology predictions were outdated for modern audiences. 4. Asimov himself admitted he could not write women characters. So he stopped. He was shite at writing romance. 5. The foundation series 'plot' was always very "abstract" or "macro" in nature rather then "micro". It fit the theme of pyschohsitory, which is basically macrohistory/statistics on a galactic scale. 6. Having the full novels at their disposal, they would know that the Robots were involvement in the background events the entire time. Something Asimov may not have knew until he wrote the novel where he revealed that. All in all, Foundation is literally the perfect series to adapt precisely because the source has nothing worth adapting to the screen. The stories as written would be TRASH if adapted 1:1 as a TV series. Lmao. *Note* I still need to watch season 2 of foundation.

Ashton Kutcher.

They definitely did more then just cut content. They introduced characters earlier, which means that characters met and interacted earlier then they did. Which means that some characters were never in the same room during certain fight scenes as they were in the Manga/Anime as they were in the Live Action adaptation. One early change is Luffy eating the Fruit. He did it accidently in front of others, not by himself and hidden. (Change of Motivation) The clown episode was totally different. So much so that they completely rewrote everything about that town. This is literally on the same vein as "luffy having sex with Nami or Sanji fridging his wife". Why? Because the towns people weren't kidnapped, and Mayor Boodle and Chouchou were willing to die to defend their town. Usop's two episode adventure. "Merry" the Butler was never killed in the Manga or Anime. He actually gifted them the ship. In the Manga/Anime, Nami's sister & village knew about her sacrifice the entire time. They knew she wasn't a traitor. Obviously Garp never visited the Island in the Manga/Anime. You can thank this list for all of the above points I highlighted. https://beebom.com/one-piece-live-action-vs-anime-major-changes/#:~:text=The most substantial change in,stop from chasing his dream. Those were "significant" changes to characters arcs, motivations, and story arcs. The difference here is. You aren't as attached to One Piece as you are as you are to Wheel of Time, so those "changes" don't cut as deep.
