That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene Send a noteboard - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM
She has good intentions and she's trying to reach them in the best way possible, given the circumstances. Her goal isn't to stay in power, but if staying in power is the best way to achieve her good intentions, that's what she'll do.

We've discussed this before darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:48:26 PM 804 Views
Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 401 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 986 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 1091 Views
What he said. Plus one. Keira - 14/10/2010 02:21:06 AM 920 Views
a very good point. *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/10/2010 04:29:28 AM 328 Views

Egwene Cannoli - 14/10/2010 12:14:33 AM 1063 Views
I think you misunderstand Egwene *NM* Helene - 14/10/2010 04:52:18 AM 395 Views
Indeed Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:14 AM 858 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 852 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 411 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 894 Views

Welcome back. I was starting to feel like a voice crying in the wilderness. Cannoli - 20/10/2010 07:27:53 PM 766 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 1082 Views

Re: Slayer Timthetrolloc - 14/10/2010 08:38:16 AM 847 Views
I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:41:48 AM 848 Views
Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 355 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 374 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 791 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 1047 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 923 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 718 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 879 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 917 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 367 Views
Re: I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Timthetrolloc - 15/10/2010 05:00:54 AM 902 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 1156 Views
Re: Slayer BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:42:10 PM 720 Views
Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 902 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 808 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 769 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 878 Views
