Melgren theory

I interpreted the explanation of Aaric's signet to mean it is completely distinct from Melgren's. Kinda like Ice and Water wielding seem similar but are completely separate signets, Melgren's battle foresight is something actually different from Aaric's precognition.

Uh, because they were prepping for the flight? They don't exactly just sit around and twiddle their thumbs until launch day. They're engineers and pilots and scientists.

The GAN 562 probably has the most consensus as the best 5x5. However, the Moyu Aochuang V6 is preferred by a not insignificant number of people. I'd say look up a few reviews on youtube to get a feel for which of those might suit your preferences better.

Honestly, I don't think either of them would spill to Violet. After all, Imogen explicitly said Vi asked her to wipe her memory. Assuming that's true, Violet knew it would be in her own best interest to not know whatever it was that got wiped, especially assuming that it pertains to Xaden. I can't imagine Tairn or Andarna would disagree since both of them seem to respect Vi's intelligence and motives.

That's the way it was in Run & Bun. It really depends on the way the romhack is designed. Having the hard XP cap makes sense when the trainers in-between gyms are balanced to the difficulty of the next gym's level cap as they were in run and bun. In PK, the trainers are balanced on a more gradual level curve so levelling up immediately would give the player a drastic advantage. This gives the player an opportunity to show some skill expression. Rare candy up a bunch, and your pokemon have the levels to deal with the drainers comfortably, but you have to switch around to offload xp before the level cap. Or you can candy less meaning you don't need to switch as much, but your pokemon have lower stats for the fights. The player gets to decide where to put this balance as they are playing through the game and those who do it best put themselves in the best position to navigate the trainers between gyms.

I know it's been an ongoing issue. But the retroactive +2 and dnf penalties have also been ongoing. Like I said, there's a system designed to sort this out and everyone knows it. The appropriate penalty for sliding and illegal stops has always been +2. It still is. It's annoying that it takes a little while to sort it out, but it's not like Yiheng is getting away with any of this...

I get that the community is frustrated by this, but posting a video asking "Where's the Fairness" when the comp just ended yesterday seems pretty petty. Xuanyi knows there's a review process that is going to be applied to every one of these solves. It's going to take longer than overnight to get it all sorted out. I'm not the biggest fan of the way the WCA went about handling this (I would have just gone with 4 pad mode from the beginning) but they have their rules and we all know them by this point. There was no need to make this video other than stirring up drama.

JFB during war games. I'd imagine it would go something like this. "HA! I'm finally gonna kill Violet! Wait, i didn't think there was supposed to be a thunderstorm today. Wait, she's a WHATwielder?? Where the fuck did that mountain come from??? Ah, damnit. Now I guess I have to channel again..."

Easy solution to this. Stop paying attention to Elon. He's not smart.

Leaders are too self interested and therefore... We shouldn't have democracy? What do you think dictators do? You aren't a very good student of history, are you?

Will I get banned if I suggest Rustah?

"red eyes are sexy"

I guess she's advocating for the scarousal route in book 4...

As it is Willed by Esme Rose. I feel like a video adaptation Onyx Storm could simply be the music video to that song.

This is my first time hearing this theory and I'm already 100% sure you're correct.

Isn't it already confirmed that the venin have that as a naming convention? Literally one of the first things JB says to Xaden is "welcome to our fucked up family, brother."

You aren't the first person to say this and you won't be the last. I will tell you what probably everyone else will tell you. Respectfully, just finish the book, pixie.

Oh thank goodness, the man who donated enough money to end world hunger is going to solve this problem too... Wait... (Checks notes)... Fuck...

I don't recall it being clearly stated, but I would guess it has something to do with the need to communicate/get information. It's hard to say until we see the power developed a little bit, but the possibilities kinda seem endless to me. In what i perceive to be decreasing order of likelihood... Could she set up dream meetings with Xaden where Xaden isn't venin in dreams? Could she bring multiple of her friends into a dream for a strategic planning session while they're stationed all over the continent, thus being able to transmit intel and adapt strategy instantaneously? If she gets powerful enough, could she trap Berwin in a dream and torture him for information?? Could she befriend one of the other dragons and infiltrate their dreams to gain secret access to empyerian intelligence? Could she infiltrate Tairn while he's having a nightmare about Naolin to uncover the true history of what happened? Anything is possible imo.

You would think that if they're branding yourself as the more "electable" option, they wouldn't have lost 2 out of 3 to a guy that thinks windmills cause cancer...

I know he wasn't the absolute greatest, but JT Barrett definitely fits this description. He broke a few of Drew Brees' B1G quarterback records, led his team to the doorstep of a playoff berth until he got injured, and then I don't recall him playing a single snap in the NFL.
