No it isn't... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 08:18:09 PM

"... against five already full of the Power, success would have lasted moments at most...

Prior to that Egwene thinks that if she can channel, she can overwhelm five i.e. knock them out, or whatever.

Aviendha's statement is a direct measurement of strength.


If it was only a matter of trickery, then anyone can handle five Aes Sedai. No one else thinks they can but Egwene.

And you still haven't explained why Katarine or Barasine could shield Egwene alone in the night, in Silviana's opinion.

Maria's answer to question 20 is ground-breaking! Logain - 10/06/2010 07:36:40 PM 1445 Views
No, it merely means that the Bell Curve does not refer to absolute strength... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:42:31 PM 1277 Views
See the question again man! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:48:57 PM 1266 Views
That contradicts your assertion that Moiraine is stronger than the average woman... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:50:11 PM 1330 Views
How? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:54:41 PM 1266 Views
I need to re-evaluate nothing! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:46:20 PM 1272 Views
Think logically for a moment... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:49:10 PM 1094 Views
Who said Egwene is twice as strong as Moiraine? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:52:27 PM 1398 Views
Aviendha did in FoH... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:54:32 PM 1094 Views
Nope! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:55:55 PM 1272 Views

RJ writes that Amys cannot hold Egwene. BS writes that Barasene can. Who are you gonna believe? Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:31:35 PM 1078 Views
It wasn't BS... both were RJ! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:41:54 PM 1199 Views
In that case, there is no problem... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:45:05 PM 1315 Views
But that isn't what the text says... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:57:42 PM 1023 Views
How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then? Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:07:36 PM 1316 Views
She also says Egwene is Aes Sedai in the same sentence... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:25:16 PM 1300 Views
Yeah, both were RJ Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1142 Views

Here's what is clear: Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:02:41 PM 1133 Views
IMO it's easy to disprove Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:22:23 PM 1114 Views

Thought on this darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:09:29 PM 1076 Views
yet 4 women can still hold Rand in LoC ... he can't break the Shield until it's down to 3 darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 12:47:43 PM 963 Views
Have to agree with Sidious on this point darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 02:49:58 AM 1092 Views
That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM 813 Views
of course Katerine would have complained darius_sedai - 12/06/2010 12:53:31 PM 1197 Views

You are... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:32:47 AM 1321 Views
Maria's other answer adresses this... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:14:54 PM 992 Views
Then one Aes Sedai cannot shield her. But one did. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:16:41 PM 1099 Views
You can be much weaker than someone, and hold them shielded, if they are already cut off... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:19:15 PM 1100 Views
But, if you are much stronger, you can break that shield... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:22:25 PM 1091 Views
Easy... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:24:59 PM 1061 Views
What has that got to do with it? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:32:56 PM 1241 Views
Amys is not LESS than half of Egwene's strength. You cannot hold someone if you are LESS than half.. Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:47:41 PM 1163 Views
Amys is as strong as Moiraine, at the most one level lower. Barasine is weaker than Katarine, who... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:00:26 PM 1288 Views
I can agree with that. Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:09:07 PM 1052 Views
How can you agree with it? Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:13:55 PM 1252 Views
I'm thinking Berowin here... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:16:41 PM 1273 Views

Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:54:03 PM 1690 Views
That's fairly simple, actually... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 10:08:53 PM 1270 Views
Nope. Rand was also cut off from the Source when he broke a shield held by 3 Aes Sedai... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:18:41 PM 1243 Views
Because that channeler is much stronger? I'm not getting your confusion here. *NM* fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 11:27:31 PM 592 Views
Your Aes Sedai are close to the average woman in strength, right... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:42:01 PM 1330 Views
You are making a couple of mistakes darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 02:28:41 PM 1160 Views
You're missing an important point... fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:10:55 PM 1127 Views
Yes, what do you mean? You are actually proving our point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:10:50 PM 997 Views
No, here's the quote: I hate having to pull out my books with their yellowed pages... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:01:54 PM 1075 Views
Why would she need surprise against two? That was against five of them... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:04:57 PM 1085 Views
That makes no sense whatsoever... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:06:53 PM 1063 Views

Actually she said "No"... *NM* Etzel - 13/06/2010 01:06:18 AM 710 Views
I'll rephrase then. It was about Maria saying that she considered giving a RAFO on the question. TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 01:44:19 AM 1102 Views
Yeah, sorry for the rolly-eyed smiley! Was a bit mean... Etzel - 13/06/2010 09:19:13 AM 1124 Views
I agree with Jack and Sidious and not with you. Tom - 11/06/2010 03:20:30 PM 1213 Views
Well, on the Thom question... Etzel - 11/06/2010 08:25:09 AM 1072 Views

I agree. I think she is saving the good stuff for the encyclopedia. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/06/2010 04:17:07 PM 575 Views
Yeah. I do think she's taking advantage of these poor saps, though. callandor1000 - 17/06/2010 03:52:33 PM 1634 Views
