Ah, you mean later later ... Sidious Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 08:29:59 PM
Dammit Sidious... this is getting irritating as hell. Silviana clearly states that in the night when Egwene will surely gain her full strength, Barasine alone is enough to shield her, but she wants one more person to prevent trickery from Egwene.

Thus, Barasine alone can shield Egwene, meaning Egwene cannot be more than twice as strong as her.


Because she's forkrooted. To add a shield of two to that is overkill.

Anyway, think about the following...

1. Galina said that none of the Shaido Wise Ones are truly weak in the Power, and yet they chose their weakest to shield her. She says she could break the shield with almost no effort. You yourself said that non-AS are obviously stronger, and Galina thinks that no Wise One is weak compared to an Aes Sedai. Therefore, Galina who sits far below Egwene can free herself of an average woman. It's not a jump to say that Egwene would be able to do much more.

2. Nynaeve is shocked that one woman can hold her. She says that Berowin shouldn't be able to. The Black Ajah choose to link two women to hold Nynaeve, and she cannot escape. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you place Nynaeve and Egwene in relative close proximity 90 vs 80 if I'm correct?

Maria's answer to question 20 is ground-breaking! Logain - 10/06/2010 07:36:40 PM 1272 Views
No, it merely means that the Bell Curve does not refer to absolute strength... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:42:31 PM 1118 Views
See the question again man! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:48:57 PM 1090 Views
That contradicts your assertion that Moiraine is stronger than the average woman... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:50:11 PM 1186 Views
How? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:54:41 PM 1120 Views
I need to re-evaluate nothing! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:46:20 PM 1122 Views
Think logically for a moment... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:49:10 PM 946 Views
Who said Egwene is twice as strong as Moiraine? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:52:27 PM 1243 Views
Aviendha did in FoH... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:54:32 PM 929 Views
Nope! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:55:55 PM 1104 Views
Your quotes are faulty Sidious - 10/06/2010 07:57:18 PM 1113 Views
In what sense though? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:59:00 PM 1101 Views

Well then we disagree Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:18:10 PM 1090 Views
BUT WHAT ABOUT LATER IN THE NIGHT! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:20:21 PM 915 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 929 Views
It wasn't BS... both were RJ! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:41:54 PM 1015 Views
In that case, there is no problem... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:45:05 PM 1136 Views
But that isn't what the text says... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:57:42 PM 884 Views
How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then? Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:07:36 PM 1127 Views
She also says Egwene is Aes Sedai in the same sentence... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:25:16 PM 1150 Views
Yeah, both were RJ Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 996 Views
Yeah yeah... RJ lied, Maria lied. Only you make sense. I'm finished with this debate. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:59:06 PM 1090 Views

Here's what is clear: Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:02:41 PM 991 Views
IMO it's easy to disprove Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:22:23 PM 976 Views
Dude... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:34 PM 885 Views
At least we agree on one thing Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:29:14 PM 997 Views

Thought on this darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:09:29 PM 940 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 821 Views
Have to agree with Sidious on this point darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 02:49:58 AM 922 Views
That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM 655 Views
of course Katerine would have complained darius_sedai - 12/06/2010 12:53:31 PM 1046 Views
The rate forkroot wears off? Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/06/2010 12:36:38 PM 1038 Views
You missed that she isn't being given Forkroot at night at all! fionwe1987 - 16/06/2010 04:47:59 PM 944 Views
Typos, screwed up what I meant Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/06/2010 02:31:50 AM 949 Views
You are... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:32:47 AM 1173 Views
Maria's other answer adresses this... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:14:54 PM 829 Views
Then one Aes Sedai cannot shield her. But one did. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:16:41 PM 949 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 930 Views
But, if you are much stronger, you can break that shield... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:22:25 PM 940 Views
Easy... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:24:59 PM 905 Views
What has that got to do with it? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:32:56 PM 1092 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 1006 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 1133 Views
I can agree with that. Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:09:07 PM 894 Views
How can you agree with it? Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:13:55 PM 1097 Views
I'm thinking Berowin here... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:16:41 PM 1097 Views
Exactly. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:18:19 PM 954 Views
... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:12:21 PM 887 Views
Agreed, but... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:13:59 PM 1047 Views
Re: Agreed, but... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:16:30 PM 850 Views
Good point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:18:53 PM 1059 Views
Or, you know, you're wrong? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:55 PM 928 Views
Re: Good point... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:28:02 PM 1128 Views
We've had this discussion before darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:59:34 PM 1037 Views
Or, you know, you can have the grace to question your antiquated strength list... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:22:51 PM 924 Views
The Bell Curve fits perfectly if one simple fact is true... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:31:31 PM 875 Views
Or, you know, you can stop misinterpreting Aviendha... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:40:05 PM 1002 Views
I'd be perfectly happy to adjust my list if it made sense Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:32:35 PM 868 Views

Re: I explained... Sidious - 10/06/2010 10:45:58 PM 1038 Views
Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:54:03 PM 1535 Views
That's fairly simple, actually... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 10:08:53 PM 1120 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 1072 Views
Because that channeler is much stronger? I'm not getting your confusion here. *NM* fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 11:27:31 PM 516 Views
Your Aes Sedai are close to the average woman in strength, right... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:42:01 PM 1139 Views
You are making a couple of mistakes darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 02:28:41 PM 993 Views
You're missing an important point... fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:10:55 PM 984 Views
Yes, what do you mean? You are actually proving our point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:10:50 PM 854 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 913 Views
Why would she need surprise against two? That was against five of them... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:04:57 PM 930 Views
That makes no sense whatsoever... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:06:53 PM 902 Views
Simply this... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:13:42 PM 920 Views
Very poor evidence Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:11:26 PM 1050 Views
No it isn't... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:18:09 PM 996 Views
Re: No it isn't... Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:32:17 PM 1073 Views
no she said Egwene is stronger than Amys and Melaine combined darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 12:46:29 AM 995 Views
The actual quote says Amys and Melaine combined... Shannow - 11/06/2010 12:25:07 PM 1042 Views
Here's the problem with that... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:42:41 PM 903 Views
Linked circles are more effective than individual channelers... Shannow - 11/06/2010 01:57:43 PM 1001 Views
That much stronger? fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:06:18 PM 1062 Views

She cannot be because she isn't. Silviana can shield Egwene alone, for God's sake. So can Amys! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:56:26 PM 825 Views

We were speaking about Maria giving a RAFO on the topic, not Sanderson. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 12:05:17 AM 532 Views
Actually she said "No"... *NM* Etzel - 13/06/2010 01:06:18 AM 626 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 950 Views
Yeah, sorry for the rolly-eyed smiley! Was a bit mean... Etzel - 13/06/2010 09:19:13 AM 955 Views
I agree with Jack and Sidious and not with you. Tom - 11/06/2010 03:20:30 PM 1060 Views

I agree. I think she is saving the good stuff for the encyclopedia. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/06/2010 04:17:07 PM 497 Views
Yeah. I do think she's taking advantage of these poor saps, though. callandor1000 - 17/06/2010 03:52:33 PM 1473 Views
