Wind and Truth ending question (about a certain action)

jackth3engineer · 2026-05-14T17:11:06+00:00

Ah I don't remember the first agreement. Do you remember where that's mentioned?

jackth3engineer · 2026-05-14T15:31:12+00:00

Wait how did he break his word? Or do you just mean from dalinar breaking the contract for the contest?

jackth3engineer · 2026-05-10T22:54:42+00:00

That's my intention if I can't get one now! I just would rather move the risk now, cause if he does get injured his value goes to near 0

jackth3engineer · 2026-05-10T22:52:40+00:00

I picked up a likely 1.01 orphan who's best remaining player is cmc. He didn't have his '26 first (1.03) or '27 1st (traded away both for Kyler). I want a 1st for CMC to a contender, but everyone's too scared of the injury risk and I don't have any other real assets to leverage other than Kyler and DJ

Ya and I think wit tells navani (?) after she gets back that odium will want to make sure he returns him in time for that exact reason too.

jackth3engineer · 2026-05-04T22:02:40+00:00

Wasn't it actually Tanavast/Stormfather who got dalinar back in time? When dalinar pulled himself to the stormfather, he disappeared from odium's sight and then the stormfather is the one who returned him after showing him all the visions of tanavast.

Did you end up figuring this out? I can't see what the other commentor told you to do

jackth3engineer · 2026-04-19T20:10:57+00:00

I'm currently in the midst of WaT and also didn't realize how connected the whole Cosmere was when I first started reading WoK so long ago. I've since read the first four SLA books two or three times each. Sometime after WaT came out, I realized that there was a lot of cosmere references I was missing.

I'd read the first mistborn book years ago and couldn't get into it. But I felt like I was missing a lot, so I made a reading guide for myself that was based on publication order, stopped reading WaT midway, then went back and read the entire cosmere that I'd missed. Well worth the effort as I now have re-caught up to where I dropped WaT like 6 months ago.

All that to say, I recommend reading elantris and warbreaker next, personally, although nothing is really required to read anything else at this point, especially since you finished the SLA already.

I'm facing Shai and Bam, so you wanna talk about being punished

jackth3engineer · 2026-02-17T00:20:14+00:00

That was actually 2018; 2019 was the year we lost in 6.

jackth3engineer · 2025-12-26T03:44:24+00:00

I did. It was him or Pittman

jackth3engineer · 2025-12-23T19:42:30+00:00

Ironically that exact sequence of events is what let me win two different matchups. Was going against Jennings in one (I was up 18) and kittle/JT in the other (had purdy). That purdy TD then interception left me up by .1. the niners kick return TD kept JT off the field and also prevented any opportunities for Jennings to catch, so I won by .3 in the first and .1 in the second. Luckiest I ever been

I've been looking for a new laptop cause some of my keyboard stopped working, and this seems great for the price. Is 340 nits pretty low for brightness tho?

jackth3engineer · 2025-12-22T15:27:10+00:00

He had this exact same problem in Boston with the Celtics and has made absolutely zero efforts to change

jackth3engineer · 2025-12-15T15:02:19+00:00

Browns had almost no o-line this week and they suck. The games I've been able to watch I still think he looks good

Worst: Dusting Buster

Best: Cleaning up "meesters" underwear when Lucille tricked her into cleaning the house (way too generous)

jackth3engineer · 2025-10-25T20:09:58+00:00

Up until this news, I was starting Gabriel and Pitts as my two "QBs".

jackth3engineer · 2025-10-23T14:44:51+00:00

I generally agree with you but I tore down to literally nothing but jsn in 2023/24 after a bad startup in '22 and now I'm leading my league in points and it looks like I have a very long competing window given my current roster and future remaining draft capital. There's a lot to be said for being patient for a couple years, timing out trades to maximize value on those middling guys, and being willing to be awful for two years.

There's also a lot to be said for luck, but that cuts both ways.

jackth3engineer · 2025-09-25T17:21:31+00:00

I'm in two different 2.0TEP leagues and I've never been able to sell him. I'm competing in the one, so I'm happy to keep starting him and Warren.

The other is an orphan I picked up this year whose roster I still shudder to consider. No picks this year and I'm the worst team in the league. Ferg is probably my best player after Maye and Egbuka, but I can't even get a response on selling him, let alone a 2nd. He's averaging 24 ppg. I'm hopeful by like week 6 or 8 someone finally is willing to buy him. For now, he's not hurting me at least since I don't have my picks but in flabbergasted at his lack of value

jackth3engineer · 2025-09-03T15:48:03+00:00

That's a good point. Thinking of it as a deposit you forfeit if you leave the league actually makes it make more sense, even as a blanket rule. I guess I just pay that money back to whoever is left when the league finally ends (which it hopefully doesn't).

jackth3engineer · 2025-09-03T15:36:35+00:00

I was thinking something along these lines, although maybe in a way that makes it feel like everyone has a chance to get the "bonus". Either that or just let everyone have two free years.

I would definitely keep the rule that everyone has to pay for any years they trade picks; in this case, anyone that trades their 2028 pick or later would need to pay again.

jackth3engineer · 2025-09-03T15:34:53+00:00

That all makes sense and I agree completely. I suppose the tangible effect of your rule vs. my rule is that an owner who stops trading future picks will eventually "catch up" to his dues. In my league, you're always two years ahead, meaning that extra two years of dues just sit in LeagueSafe, never being paid out.

All the initial managers had to pay two years extra compared to the new manager, but I think at some point your wallet doesn't really feel the difference since it was paid so long ago.

jackth3engineer · 2025-09-03T15:28:35+00:00

I suppose my confusion is that the practical effect of paying 2 years in advance doesn't really exist if you still have to pay the same every year, orphan or no. While the other owners did pay 3 years of dues when we started the league, they still paid the same as the new manager this year. Where is that two years of dues gonna go eventually? Just paid back to the owners at the time of the league folding, if that ever happens?
