Re: IMO, this idea is wrong... Datakim Send a noteboard - 07/07/2010 07:25:46 PM
I think Rand using the TP was an unpredictable side-effect of his balefire link to Moridin and thus something the DO, as the uber-control freak - certainly wouldn't want. Using the TP once doesn't make you addicted. In the end, the TP usage just allowed that Rand could free himself before Min's death and instead kill Semirhage. Without using the TP, the Shadow had most likely won. But we will see!


Yeah, this is one major problem with the theory that the DO wanted Rand corrupted. However it is possible that for some reason the DO wants Rand corrupted and spreading destruction around more than he does Rand dead or prisoner.

We have seen this before in the actions of Moridin who actually wants Rand alive. If the DO disagreed with Moridin here, he would certainly have overruled Moridin and ordered the Forsaken to hunt Rand down, but the no-kill rule is still in effect. That suggests that for some reason the DO wants Rand alive, and possibly even free. I am not really sure why this would be so, but I guess we will eventually find out.

I will repeat however that BS has said that there will be more consequences for Rand's TP use, so it is possible that we will find out that Rand using the TP was more harmfull to the light than being captured would have been, somehow.

Could Moridin be a false Nae'blis whom the DO wants to replace with Demandred? Sidious - 05/07/2010 05:11:43 PM 1602 Views

What about winning? Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:24:11 AM 1019 Views
Remember what Verin said? Don't analyse the DO with human values.. fionwe1987 - 06/07/2010 10:20:37 AM 901 Views

Exactly. The Dark One just needs to get free. Then he can break the Pattern at his leisure... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:48:10 PM 839 Views
Well I agree and disagree Sidious - 06/07/2010 09:55:49 PM 786 Views
Sure. That's for RAND to win. For the Dark One to win, it is as simple as just killing Rand... Shannow - 06/07/2010 09:58:30 PM 751 Views
Says who? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 10:04:31 PM 819 Views
Because Rand is the only one who can stop him from breaking free. Shannow - 06/07/2010 10:05:52 PM 787 Views

Sadly no. But it would have made for a more enthralling physical war... Shannow - 05/07/2010 06:54:11 PM 1031 Views
Demandred? Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 12:44:56 AM 864 Views
Moridin is to blame because he is a symbol of RJ's choice to make this a metaphysical war... Shannow - 06/07/2010 12:56:32 PM 868 Views
So... Fanatic-Templar - 06/07/2010 06:43:32 PM 716 Views

I don't think so. But neither do I think Moridin is the true Nae'blis RugbyPlayingAshaman - 06/07/2010 02:25:47 PM 801 Views
