Re: Uhhh? Sidious Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 09:48:58 PM

I've adjusted my list every time he's said something.

Your theory has enormous holes in it, but you didn't address them in the other post, or any of these posts. You got angry and stormed off.

If a woman sits at 50, then why does it take six to hold a man like Rand, and how can he break through 4. Are we to believe that a 100 man can break through a 200 shield? This system is utter crap if that's true, because no text supports it.

Of course the text supports it! It is tougher for one of the sexes to shield the other. How much clearer can it get?

And what huge holes have I failed to explain?


Are you mad? Rand thinks he can come close to shielding seven women without his angreal, and Lews Therin says there are too many. With his angreal, Lews Therin starts to grumble.

Why is there one Ash'aman assigned to shield each Aes Sedai at Dumai Wells?

So how exactly is that a sign that cross-gender shielding is easier?

Maria's answer to question 20 is ground-breaking! Logain - 10/06/2010 07:36:40 PM 1312 Views
No, it merely means that the Bell Curve does not refer to absolute strength... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:42:31 PM 1154 Views
See the question again man! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:48:57 PM 1121 Views
That contradicts your assertion that Moiraine is stronger than the average woman... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:50:11 PM 1208 Views
How? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:54:41 PM 1146 Views
I need to re-evaluate nothing! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:46:20 PM 1140 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 959 Views
It wasn't BS... both were RJ! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:41:54 PM 1047 Views
In that case, there is no problem... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:45:05 PM 1184 Views
But that isn't what the text says... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:57:42 PM 911 Views
How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then? Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:07:36 PM 1151 Views
She also says Egwene is Aes Sedai in the same sentence... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:25:16 PM 1172 Views
Yeah, both were RJ Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1025 Views

Thought on this darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:09:29 PM 961 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 847 Views
Have to agree with Sidious on this point darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 02:49:58 AM 952 Views
That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM 682 Views

You are... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:32:47 AM 1190 Views
Maria's other answer adresses this... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:14:54 PM 866 Views
Then one Aes Sedai cannot shield her. But one did. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:16:41 PM 984 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 969 Views
But, if you are much stronger, you can break that shield... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:22:25 PM 963 Views
Easy... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:24:59 PM 930 Views
What has that got to do with it? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:32:56 PM 1118 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 1035 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 1155 Views
I can agree with that. Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:09:07 PM 924 Views

Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:54:03 PM 1574 Views
That's fairly simple, actually... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 10:08:53 PM 1141 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 1107 Views
Because that channeler is much stronger? I'm not getting your confusion here. *NM* fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 11:27:31 PM 531 Views

We were speaking about Maria giving a RAFO on the topic, not Sanderson. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 12:05:17 AM 548 Views
Actually she said "No"... *NM* Etzel - 13/06/2010 01:06:18 AM 645 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 971 Views
Yeah, sorry for the rolly-eyed smiley! Was a bit mean... Etzel - 13/06/2010 09:19:13 AM 994 Views
I agree with Jack and Sidious and not with you. Tom - 11/06/2010 03:20:30 PM 1082 Views
Well, on the Thom question... Etzel - 11/06/2010 08:25:09 AM 950 Views

I agree. I think she is saving the good stuff for the encyclopedia. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/06/2010 04:17:07 PM 512 Views
Yeah. I do think she's taking advantage of these poor saps, though. callandor1000 - 17/06/2010 03:52:33 PM 1497 Views
