  1. So I wonder:

     

    In a perfect world would you like to roleplay in short posts in a forum style setting?

     

    Pros: Timezone and life differences matter less. 

     

    Cons: Forums are better suited for long form RP since posting happens less frequently. 

     

    Or would you like to do chat based and or discord based RP. 

     

    Pros: Realtime rp with your peers so it is faster and more uncertain like real life since decisions are made on the fly. 

     

    Cons: Requires planning around multiple timezones around the globe. Slams to a halt when schedules don’t align. 

     

    Or, maybe a hybrid of the two?

  2. Pff, ok there Mozart. Being able to savor the blessed relief of death? 

     

    Back in my day we did not simply die but were forced to row the black ships in the fleet of the dead - forever tormented - never resting - never ending pain and suffering. 

  3. Look at you Elon Musk being crushed into the hardest and most artificially valued gemstone on this planet. I wish I could have been a diamond and would be that useful! I ended up having the hardness value of talc - so literally the opposite experience you were so blessed to have!

  4. Giant Sloths? Dire Wolves? Sabretooth Tigers? Oh look at you Mr. Science Guy with your dangerous but potentially lifesaving foodsources. We were lucky back in my day to find even single celled organisms to eat while we were desperately trying to pull ourselves out of the primordial ooze. 

  5. Woah woah woah there King George III, how lucky you were to have that! I wish I could have had a vehicle made of rust. See back in my day we couldn't even afford to have the chemical composition of rust actually combine so we had to just hold handfulls of ferric hydroxide in one hand and ferric oxide in the other and just imagine them as a singular compound! 

  6. Rules: One upmanship at its finest. The sillier the better! 

     

    Here is how it began....

     

    CaddySedai: I used to walk ten miles from home to the local internet cafe in order to post every day on the 14.4k modem. 56k? Hah… you think we had Sean Connery money? No. We had 14.4k and we liked it. During winter it was in six to eight feet of snow - uphill both ways - and under that snow it was just nothing but broken glass and old razor blades.  Back then we didn’t have any shoes - you just walked so much the soles of our feet turned into leather. And you know what, we had fun. And we liked it. And we never complained. 

     

    SinisterDeath: Man you were loaded! Back in my day, we trained pigeons to delivery binary code for our internet!

     

    CaddySedai: Oh man...I would have to apologize then for any bandwidth drops.... You see I was so poor we often had to eat those pigeons just to save up enough money to be able to afford to even say the words AT&T.

     

    SinisterDeath: You ate? F'in rich you were. If we weren't working 30 hours a day, we were lucky if we got rock soup for dinner!

     

    CaddySedai: You had 30 hours to work in a day? What were you - made of money? I actually had to sell back all the hours in the day and only have about 1 minute 14 seconds left.

  7. Also if someone is a Sanderson fan - they should read the books because he helped to complete them - the tv show should not weigh in on that. 

     

    That is a weird hill to die on: “This adaptation I don’t like will put me off to reading a series that is almost legendary in the genre - written by an author some considered to be the spiritual successor to J.R.R. and finished by one of the greatest fantasy authors of our day who I am a big fan of.”

     

    Methinks one may not be as big a Sanderson fan as they doth proclaim. lol

  8. To be fair, for much of the history of OUR world - outside of the scientific communities of their times - most people did not concern themselves with the things they did not have explanation for. Usually defaulting to some sort of "it was god(s)". 

     

    Some of the reluctance then could be attributed to both human nature - especially for the non one-power advances in the sciences.

  9. Yup, thats even weirder haha. But yeah I forgot how it worked on objects but you just reminded me lol.

     

    Also, then, should we determine when someone said an entire city was destroyed by balefire that we are speaking like they balefired enough to make the city structurally unsafe to live in - and also everyone died..

     

    or do they mean that literally and it was reduced atom by atom into nothingness lol. Cuz thats both insanity - and really really OCD lol. And if thats the case what would one do…destroy it line by line like the digitizer laser in TRON? Lol

  10. The whole logic of Balefire is that you "Unmake" something in the pattern. So If you eat an apple and are full...but I balefire the tree that made the apple and my weave was powerful enough that the tree ceased to exist before that apple was harvested - you no longer have said apple in your tummy. 

     

    Its pretty crazy and kind of makes you think about all the damage caused when the taint drove male channelers insane... Cuz How many times did someone get balefired, there was a counter balefiring...and that person is back - still very much insane lol.
