So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM
I don't like these fuzzy math stuff thrown here.

But to the point, I don't have books and couldn't produce a quote, but what I remember from the quote about "Moggy + 2 AS" is that he was saying he could easily handle three Aes Sedai, unless one was Moggy. It was most certainly not that definite in Power strength terms as the quote in original post "No three women could block him from the Source, ... not unless they were as strong as Semirhage".

So no, I don't think the fuzzy math "Moggy + 2xAS> 3 x Semirhage" is correct one.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2334 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1395 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1489 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1544 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1588 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1479 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1337 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1322 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 1200 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 1252 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1408 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1311 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1304 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1284 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 1284 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1328 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 1218 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1330 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 1219 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 1289 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 1262 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 1220 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1287 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1284 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1296 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 1206 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 2196 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1382 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1261 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 1254 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 1214 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1402 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1423 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 1217 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 1230 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 1268 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 1271 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1435 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1426 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 1257 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1381 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1391 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1309 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1372 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1320 Views

I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1325 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 1113 Views

I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1374 Views

go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 1230 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 1246 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 1165 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 1049 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1423 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 1243 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1285 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 1241 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 1240 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1285 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1375 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 1200 Views
well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM 1293 Views
