Timewaster's Guide Archive

Really, this isn't actually an important post, but a test to see if HoA figures out that there is hidden text here at the bottom, and if anyone else figures it out. So, HoA, I am now officially outlining our plan to make sure it is clear. First, we pay a time-traveling mistborn a ridiculously large amount of money to steal the Lord Ruler's Atium. Then, we use the massive atium cache to hire him to assassinate VegasDev and Qarlin, as well as several other unnamed contributors to this forum. Then we use the remainder of the cache to hire a master hacker to discover their forum passwords, and then we impersonate them online for the fun of it? Or was it that we hire a master hacker to write a program that will occasionally post things for them so that no one is suspicious of our evil plan? If so, it should definitely post things that are relevant to the conversation, such as why don't you ask Brandon, and I hate you, and cheese is delicious. Just my thoughts on the matter.

God that text is small

So, I didn't see a thread for this, but if there was, please don't attack me.

Yes, I have been offered a movie deal

FIRST OFF: Yay, that's awesome.

No, it probably isn't for the series you're thinking about.

Ok, so I was thinking Mistborn.
WoT converters are probably thinking WoT
Newcomers who only read Elantris are probably thinking Elantris.
So if you eliminate all the ones I assume people are thinking about, that leaves:
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
Warbreaker
Dragonsteel (The Liar of Partinel perhaps?)
Scribbler
OR One of Brandon's other finished/unfinished/unpublished books: (Full list here: http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=5165.msg111110)

Thoughts?

I think Mistborn would definitely win in a fight. At least against an Aes Sedai, maybe not an independent channeler (It's too confusing for me to figure out that one)
And like you said it's all about the element of surprise. An Aes Sedai cannot use the One Power to attack anyone until they attack them first. So theoretically, if the Mistborn sneaks up on an Aes Sedai and uses a duralumin-enhanced steel push to shoot a chunk of medal THROUGH an Aes Sedai... I think we know who wins.
(FYI, I'm still on Fires of Heaven for WoT, so if the Aes Sedai oaths have changed I wouldn't know.)

Nightblood is good for those like me with no hand-eye coordination and a desire to get others to do the work for me. Just throw and run. My kind of sword

I liked it but Vin looked too old, and big. And a little too I'm-the-freaky-girl-in-your-history-class-that-wears-black-fishnets-on-my-arms-and-keeps-voodoo-dolls-of-you-in-my-backpack-that-i-enjoy-stabbing-with-safety-pins. Do you get what I'm saying?

I beat you all.
Mistborn II took me 2 days.
Mistborn I took me 5 but only cause I picked it up with the vibe that I wouldn't be able to understand it, so of course, after I read the first chapter, I didn't understand it (I did this with the first WoT book too). I let it sit there for 3 days and on the 4th day I figured I'd try again with an open mind and it became so much clearer to me. I didn't go to sleep that night and I finished it then.

I don't like any of them.
Shade... no, overused to the point where its no longer bad ass... just lame.
Oracle... no, its too 99-cent-psychic
Seer... no, its too cliche-fantasy-version-of-99-cent-psychic
... it has to be original. And those are not.

That actually clears up a lot becaue I was under the impression that using any allomancy near the crystals shattered them. Not just iron and steel. Ok, I think I get it.
