About Elaida... Zeratul Send a noteboard - 09/12/2010 12:29:21 PM

*Totally Random Thought* How did ELAIDA end up being Morgase's adviser, anyways? Seems like a strange job for a Red.

She wanted this job because of her Foretelling that the Royal Line of Andor will be the key in the last battle. Her strength in the One Power gave her enough influence in the White Tower to be able to get it.

I think skill with Saidar is easy enough to judge as it's a simple matter to see the skill darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:37:27 PM 1282 Views
I think the greens should have been on Nynaeve's side as well LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:18:16 PM 1395 Views
Problem is they are Aes Sedai and thus more likley to be political rather than rational! *NM* darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 08:52:00 PM 937 Views

Strength was "prized" in the AoL ... but lack of strength was not a negative darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 01:41:08 AM 1261 Views
The test is stupid and it was about time someone pointed it out Zeratul - 07/12/2010 10:29:38 PM 1288 Views

Status is not an end in itself. *NM* Chas - 07/12/2010 11:52:37 PM 647 Views
They're not really stupid... DomA - 08/12/2010 01:00:20 AM 1374 Views
Not saying they are. It's just that most AS that we've come across Chas - 08/12/2010 02:20:05 AM 1089 Views
They're constantly outsmarted by a teenage girl that has spent most of her life in a damn farm. Variant - 08/12/2010 10:32:50 AM 1350 Views
yeah because that's so realistic Sidious - 08/12/2010 12:17:29 PM 1276 Views
Egwene had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Variant - 08/12/2010 11:50:17 PM 1242 Views
Bah... DomA - 09/12/2010 10:56:24 AM 1382 Views
Nope, the Sitters were always stupid Zeratul - 09/12/2010 12:37:05 PM 1349 Views
I did not say all Aes Sedai are stupid, I said all WT Aes Sedai are stupid. Variant - 10/12/2010 09:19:52 AM 1348 Views

Re: You are not only wrong in your call, Sidious - 08/12/2010 09:13:37 AM 1594 Views
if that is the purpose of the test LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 01:34:45 PM 1293 Views
minor disagreement darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:27:51 PM 1378 Views
Yes, but you can be not-panicked and not calm of body LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:38:56 PM 1219 Views
not really the same thing as what the AS are getting at though darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 09:02:05 PM 1856 Views
that's retarded, imo LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 12:21:27 AM 1385 Views
About Elaida... Zeratul - 09/12/2010 12:29:21 PM 1368 Views
...no wonder the Aes Sedai are floundering LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 01:43:42 PM 1091 Views
Oh it's totally stupid! darius_sedai - 09/12/2010 04:37:14 PM 1342 Views
No I know why she took the job. I just don't understand why she got it LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 04:52:34 PM 1276 Views
I think Elaida just smarmed up at the right time, Morgase was very young then darius_sedai - 09/12/2010 05:52:29 PM 1388 Views
hmm. curse smarming, then *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 07:47:26 PM 564 Views
As I recall... Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2010 05:18:25 AM 1299 Views
Oh. Well, I'm sorry then. Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2010 06:48:50 PM 1332 Views
I think it has already been established that the purpose of the test is to ensure that Chas - 08/12/2010 09:59:18 PM 1079 Views
Yeah, but how does that work? Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2010 10:24:35 PM 1235 Views
Somewhere in the sub-conscious they know what they're doing is important to them. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:20:47 AM 1357 Views
Even so, it wouldn't work. Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2010 03:32:55 AM 1271 Views
I think if this thread has established anything it's that the test is severely flawed. *NM* Chas - 09/12/2010 09:24:48 PM 623 Views
Another headless chicken example. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:30:02 AM 1250 Views
the headless chicken is just such a lovely metaphor for panic *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 04:48:11 AM 567 Views

One of those few times where I completely agree with Cannoli. Give over Sidious. You're wrong. fionwe1987 - 09/12/2010 09:55:20 PM 1268 Views
Bah! As if an opinion on the test's validity can be wrong *NM* Sidious - 10/12/2010 04:39:14 AM 1420 Views
That's not what it's really about guttering flame - 10/12/2010 05:44:12 AM 1242 Views
