Etzel is the most resistant poster. He's like a guy who's hallucinating and you're trying to convince him it's not real. If RJ directly told us "No, it was not Slayer", he'd claim RJ was trying to trick us or something.

I hate to say it, as I love this mystery.... GateKeeper - 27/05/2010 03:01:08 PM 1364 Views
Surely, there can never be enough Asmo threads! *NM* Etzel - 27/05/2010 04:18:06 PM 736 Views
I have a theory on the killer that doesn't involve Slayer... FanEditor10 - 28/05/2010 03:41:23 AM 1166 Views
It's not really obvious... Etzel - 28/05/2010 09:08:27 AM 1105 Views

Yes, but Fain is a far cry from your average non-channeler darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:01:44 PM 1249 Views
As is Slayer Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:25:07 PM 1099 Views

It just requires to combine some clues from the first 5 books & some common sense Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:44:10 PM 1086 Views

Re: The main problem with Graendal is... DomA - 28/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 1223 Views

Here are the quotes darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 12:39:29 PM 981 Views
As said, those quotes simply don't support that the murder was basically just an unplanned accident. *NM* Etzel - 02/06/2010 02:14:29 PM 682 Views
I disagree. It's pretty much black and white that the opportunity/timing is the key factor to darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 02:39:03 PM 914 Views
