You seem to mistake "plan" with "goal" Narg Send a noteboard - 14/10/2010 06:23:07 AM
In the immortal words of the computer kid and Bruce Willis from the latest Die Hard movie:

Computer kid: "Do you have a plan?"

Bruce Willis "Find that so and so and kill him"

Computer kid: "I meant a plan as in a way to do that"


Lanfear's goal was to control Rand. Her plan for doing so was absolutely foolish. Rhavin's goal was to control the most powerful nation in Randland. Rhavin's plan for doing so was no more foolish than Lanfear's.

Lanfear's goal may have been reasonable, but her plan was downright laughable. Her goal was not any more reasonable than Rhavin's, and her plan was just as ridiculous.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

We've discussed this before darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:48:26 PM 931 Views
Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 471 Views
Lanfear and Ishamael are both two sides of the same coin, and both crack me up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:58:46 PM 1104 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 1196 Views
What he said. Plus one. Keira - 14/10/2010 02:21:06 AM 1028 Views
a very good point. *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/10/2010 04:29:28 AM 383 Views
Absolutely. Seriana Sedai - 14/10/2010 08:02:58 PM 922 Views

I think you misunderstand Egwene *NM* Helene - 14/10/2010 04:52:18 AM 460 Views
Indeed Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:14 AM 961 Views
Even if she's a fraction as bad as I make her out, who is most likely to be around for a while? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:12:02 PM 971 Views
But she's not scary... her idealism is tempered by pragmatism - a benevolent dictator type. *NM* Helene - 15/10/2010 03:28:05 PM 469 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 1022 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 1076 Views
Dear heavens, let's hope so. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:50:37 PM 921 Views

Thanks! With the new book coming, I couldn't leave you here alone with the Egg worshipers! lilltempest - 20/10/2010 10:02:28 PM 1224 Views

I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:41:48 AM 960 Views
Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 403 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 428 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 896 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 1180 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 1020 Views
I don't know why, I just find him one of the scarier people. He reminds me of Freddy Krueger Helene - 14/10/2010 05:41:06 PM 827 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 997 Views
That's an interesting point. The Ta'veren effect is rather scary if you think about it darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:47:02 PM 1036 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 429 Views
Re: I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Timthetrolloc - 15/10/2010 05:00:54 AM 1028 Views
Unfortunately, most of the points you listed aren't true, are unsubstantiated or show how weak he is RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/10/2010 04:27:34 PM 1275 Views

Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 1004 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 908 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 896 Views
If not for the same reasons, I agree this is the best of the conventionally scary characters. Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:15:02 PM 996 Views
Narg: who else is both evil and genius? *NM* Lohikaarme - 14/10/2010 01:28:11 PM 441 Views
