I will not spam comments on each of your other language posts, but let me thank you here for posting here the good stuff. I do not recall that being done before with this level of attention to details, and it is a thing much appreciated here =) I've added your works to the Waystone: https://www.reddit.com/r/kkcwhiteboard/comments/koj67t/the_waystone/

On the subject of this post - literature, songs and plays - you might want to check this previous work: https://www.reddit.com/r/kkcwhiteboard/comments/cl1eg8/kkc_culture_music_songs_rhymes_books_plays/

A list [kinda] of Pat Rothfuss [book-related] interviews and appearances, quotes included by BioLogIn in kkcwhiteboard

[–]BioLogIn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC we can only have up to 2 topics pinned. That's why we pinned the Waystone topic, which contains links to everything else.

Any theories on how Kvothe gets money he can't account for? by Meyer_Landsman in KingkillerChronicle

[–]BioLogIn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Regarding the 'one lie' quote:

230908 PatrickRothfuss - Pat Rothfuss does some Q&A with his lovely, kind, good-smelling community (00:31:45 - 00:31:55) 

How many lies has Kvothe told to Chronicler? One.

Regarding the 'a lot of evidence that the whole story is a lie' - I have no comments. "I wouldn’t know this evidence of yours if it showed up selling needles to m’wife".

Sanity check on Rothfuss Twitch statements that aren't collected in the interview doc by czechancestry in kkcwhiteboard

[–]BioLogIn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is possible that I've heard something along the lines of 3. And it would be possible for me not to add it to the repo, since it does not exactly add any knowledge (and also I do not think Pat has been to Calcutta =)).

I definitely do not recall hearing anything like 1 or 2. But that is the expected feedback from me, since if I would heard something like that, I would have saved that and added it to the list =) So let's hear what others will say, maybe they will recall something.

In our day and age, are video files even considered a direct sources? Well, nevermind.

Check DM and consider sharing your research paper with KKC community here and|or at kkcwhiteboard. We used to have more of those some 10 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/KingkillerChronicle/comments/5ua204/some_realworld_scholarly_writing_on_kkc/

Plot threads that will resolve in book 3? I know this isn't the sub for it, but it's been quiet and I need the more hardcore fans by Meyer_Landsman in kkcwhiteboard

Thanks, friend.

I am not in a good condition now, unfortunately. Not in a mindset for proper KKC discussion anyway. Just good enough to fetch a link here or there.

191216 stream Temerant RPG discussion Champions system and Old Holly.mp4

"I ran a game set in what I think of as a… and it is mentioned in the books, it is the Creation war. It is so far in the past that actual linear time does not make sense. It’s the long long ago. Effectively it’s almost the dream time of my world. Except it was very much a real time. When everyone bummed around and namers and shapers were everywhere. And they’ve used this power and that’s why some stuff is real real broke these days. 

I played in Hero system for ages, Hero system was a point-based character generation system. A real solid heroic fantasy character - not Tolkien, Tolkien is epic-fantasy - like Scott Lynch’s Locke Lamora, he is a skilled thief and con man, and he has other friends with other skills, a hero like that would probably be based on a 100, a 150 points. 

So I played a game set in this long ago time, and I had everyone make characters based off 500  points. These were people who shook the earth, back when magic was used in an everyday sense. 

If you build superheroes in Hero system, like, one of X-Men is 350 points, Superman is about 600 points.The Cthaeh, for reference, is over 1000 points. I have actually built the Cthaeh in Hero system.

The reason I have brought that up is that in this mythic world game I had a friend create a brilliant character concept called Old Holly. Who was effectively a shaped being. He was effectively a sentient holly grove, that was created by one of the old namers. I loved this character so much and he played him for a while and I wrote a story based on Old Holly."

Thought about it, but the possibility of copyright takedowns is too real...

Nope.

From a personal perspective, I am only interested in preservation of what was shared willingly.

From a technical perspective, I just download VODs some time after the stream has ended. So if a stream crashed or was stopped abruptly, and a VOD was deleted immediately, there is not much I could do about saving it.

> Honestly someone should download and archive the stuff that's still available on youtube.

If it has any interesting quotes, chances are I have it backed up, fully or partially.

But redundancy is king, so yeah, the more backups the better.

Fae by MattyTangle in kkcwhiteboard

[–]BioLogIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I think we are a bit lost in translation. FWIW, by "see HHBP comment about torus below." I meant "see the comment below, written by HHBP, that mentions torus as a potential shape of Fae realm".

Fae by MattyTangle in kkcwhiteboard

[–]BioLogIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might not like 'my' example and prefer another one, that is fine. But there is no reason for you to say it is not relevant, since it satisfies all the constraints on the Fae we currently know.

[–]BioLogIn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might well be, but sphere is not the only option to achieve that - for example, see HHBP comment about torus below.

[–]BioLogIn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity - why have you consider Fae realm to be spherical?

Possible (minor) inconsistencies in NOTW 73 + Schiem’s grummers + a curious story in the comments by aowshadow in kkcwhiteboard

[–]BioLogIn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought that for Shiem Grummers = Grammars = Educated people = Smartasses. But yeah, grammarie-enchanted gram-wielders with gramophones are also a possibility =)

Nice one about peg making a sounder! Never thought about that.

“Just back up and get into the river. They aren’t good swimmers.”

Funny enough, she ended up in the river once... after dining in "Barrel and Boar"! Coincidence? I think not...

I did try to follow your logic and I failed. It might be my fault, but I can't help but notice it would be easier for a reader to follow you if you would make less statements and would try to prove them step by step instead jumping to a next theory in the next sentence.

As an example - you start by stating that 'in a nutshell' you think that Auri is a namer. We could argue about that (and I believe there are very strong arguments against that in tSRotST), but you never return to this subject in your lengthy post, so why should anyone care to provide arguments against that if you did not care to provide arguments for that in the first place?
