Brandon Sanderson / Re: Vin as HOA?

Do you really think Ruin has that much power?  I'd say that's a little extreme.

I think it's extreme too.  I meant the theory as a joke, but I obviously didn't make that clear.  Tone of voice is hard to express online.

Oh no, you made it clear.  I enjoy taking things literally when they aren't meant to be taken as such.  Its one of my hobbies.

Yeah, I didn't either. Its one thing when it's Brandon's original work, its another when he's finishing someone else's, especially when that someone is Jordan.

I've also got one to contribute.  Something tells me that my friends and I might end up doing something similar in the future.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Wheel v. Mist

Has balefire entered this equation yet?  I mean yeah, channelers can't afford to go around blasting things with balefire, but mistborn can't exactly afford to go around burning atium either.  The long and short of it is balefire would eliminate several of the advantages the mistborn have, which aren't really stacking up in the first place.

Wow, that's more than I expected. Then again, I didn't really expect any alpha readers to get a hold of it anyway, so I guess it's a moot point.

Sorry, I couldn't help it, my friends and I have a running gag involving Sean Connery, the Death Star, the Red October, and the tune of Yellow Submarine.

Alright, sounds good. I'll probably write something and submit it within the next week or two.

So, what are the stipulations on writing columns?  I'm guessing it'd be best if I didn't go off on some tangent about neo-nazi lizards bent on the destruction of organized religion, no?

Careful Fell, these things take time, you can't just snap your fingers and expect them to be done.  The plotting and characterization alone will take hours...

Everything Else / Derren Brown: Magician Psychologist and Whatnot
« on: April 28, 2008, 11:18:07 PM »
Okay, so yesterday I was mucking around on the internet, and somehow stumbled onto a recreation of the Milgram experiment conducted by Derren Brown as part of a test for something he was pulling off to see if he could influence normal people into committing robbery without actually telling them to (part of "The Heist").  Long story short what I found was really cool, so I thought I'd share it.  Any comments or discussions?

I myself think I understand the paying with paper and asking for wallet bits, and I'm interested in trying them on my friends.  I think what's important with the paying with paper is distracting them and not allowing them to focus on what you're actually handing them, only that you're giving them something similar to bills.  As for the wallet bit I think the key lies with distracting them, handing them something and while keeping them distracted asking for their wallet, since  I postulate that mentally they only connect giving you back what they took from you, not something that actually belongs to them.  Anyway, that's my two bits.

Hey, I was wondering how exactly one such as myself would go about writing an article for the first time.  For some reason I want to do it, so how would I be able to?  Would I need a specific topic or whatnot, or can I basically just do whatever I want?
