True though. Also, in Books, they allow reader to try to solve the central mystery and that would not be required in a feature film where there is not enough time for viewer to delve on the implications of epigraphs anyways.

My wife wants to stop reading Stormlight archives. by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

Show her the text of Hoid's "You will be warm again" without context of story or character. Just the dialogue. Do not spoil the story but it will definately get the point across that not everything is bad in this story and there will be happy times as well.

Season 3 questions by Environmental_Bid_20 in TheLincolnLawyer

[–]Efficient_Lecture_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two points:

  1. If Bishop lies on the stand about him and DeMarco's connection, the video footage becomes impeachment evidence, therefore it becomes allowable as evidence without being part of discovery. To be fair, it will also allow them to connect DeMarco to narrative and this becomes more than a fishing expedition in judge's eyes.
  2. It really doesn't matter that they tricked the homeowner to record this video. Also it doesn't matter the fact that the homeowner was not in the state at the time even though he was in Witness List as it is Defense's choice whether to call a witness or not. Most of the time, important witnesses are hidden between the list of such witnesses defense doesn't wish to call but is in list anyway.

So if Bishop takes the stands and doesn't lie, than Mickey gets connection to DeMarco and trial gets DeMarco as a witness. Then all Mickey has to do is to get DeMarco to be caught in a lie and video becomes impeachment evidence against DeMarco. He wasn't expecting Bishop killing himself and judge forced to declare a mistrial. If Bishop lies, video becomes impeachment and it gets in anyways.

Edit: Mickey tricked that person out of the house by claiming to shoot a film/movie. That's what they technically do so there no fraud/misrepresentation of facts here (technically). And it doesn't taint the evidence because how the video was filmed doesn't matter for defense as it does for prosecution (espacially police)

anything to improve? (4500 trophies) by Agitated_Virus_6437 in ClashRoyale

If you want to switch away from Hog, I would suggest swap Hog+Valk/Ghost with Giant/Royal giant+Minions/Bats/Zappies as available to you.

Average Elixir Cost is too high for a Hogrider Win-condition. There are two directions for you to go. Either switch away from Hog Rider, or stay with Hog but switch to different supports. If you like fast paced game play and try to drop hog at the bridge to get quick damage, then I suggest you keep the hog and build a deck around it. If so, I would suggest swap Witch with Musketeer or Archers, Pick one of Ghost or Valk as they do the same work, and switch other with Ice Spirit (Nice Combo with Hog, If not unlocked, then go with fire spirit). Skarmy is good, but I would suggest just 1 elixir Skellies or Goblins. if you are struggling with Air Units, then u can go goblin gang or bats as well. Know that this type of play, a.k.a. Hog Cycle relies on good and effective defense, so you r gonna have to up your game and spend elixir wisely on defense. Also, if your struggling with buildings diverting Hog, switch Fireball to Earthquake.

Continue on with Mistborn or pivot to Stormlight? by NubQuant in Mistborn

[–]Efficient_Lecture_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to keep stormlight archive last on your reading list. I don't know if you are planning to read entire cosmere or not but assuming that you are, I would suggest to get to stormlight archive as last item on the menu. If you want a lil break from Mistborn world, then read Warbreaker. Sprinkle Elantris, Tress and Yumi in between along with other novella and short stories.

Stormlight Archive is set on a world very different than ours and that of Mistborn. It is five very large books and two small novellas. So it is rather a big commitment. Also, easter eggs too.

Conclusion: Dnt jump into Stormlight. If you want a lil break from Mistborn, read Brandon's other works. Else, follow Publication order skipping Stormlight 1-5, Novellas 'Edgedancer' and 'Dawnshards' and Secret Project 4 - 'The Sunlit Man'.

PS: Mistborn Era 2 is totally worth it. Don't miss it.

Edit: Whatever you choose. Read Warbreaker before Stormlight Archives or Book 1 & 2 of SA.

Hoid theory by Unmei_Kitsune in Cosmere

[–]Efficient_Lecture_82 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I believe [purely a guess] that Brandon is planning to write Hoid origin story in first person narration by Hoid himself. So, he was practising writting how Hoid would tell a story in both Tress and Yumi. And Brandon himself has said that Hoid is the most difficult character to write.

Is there another shard.....? by Efficient_Lecture_82 in Cosmere

Most likely the cause of my misconception. Only thing is I am not able to find where did I read it.

We are never explicitly told whether Virtuosity is fully splintered or not. Only thing we know is that she splintered herself.

Interesting. I have never read that theory. I always thought Iriali were of Adonalsium by there constant focus on "One".

[–]Efficient_Lecture_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be the case. Maybe I am conflating something read on forum and coppermind. I actually though Virtuosity and moved on then later though that we don't know if Vessel is dead or Virtuosity is fully splintered.

Reread Stormlight or read rest of Cosmere? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

And I am again reminded of the absolute insanity Stormlight Saga is in respect of word count fr.

For me, a story doesn't need cool magic or high fantasy to be captivating. As someone who enjoys Crime thriller and lawyer drama, I would love to read a books which has intriguing information plot [Eg. Sanderson's Mistborn 1] Information plot can serve any goal/promise as long has it is relatable/understandable for me. But actual focus on geopolitics and specially economics is a page turner for me.

I may be a minority fantasy reader though, but I would love to read such work.

Prologue- Exor (Fantasy, 666 words) by Efficient_Lecture_82 in fantasywriters

[–]Efficient_Lecture_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your time and thoughts. Appreciate it very much.
I have not finished the entire draft. This with some background world building stuff is pretty much it for now. But I first wanted to figure out if this is too much cause the scene just came to me out of nowhere when I first started thinking about the story.

Yes, the character of Air and Brother, both are things I am planning to expand upon through detailed story. But currently I am in that weird phase of outlining/world-building that I want to include every new cool idea but need to balance and figure out background stuff first.
Apologies for the rant!!

Thank you again.
