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 1419 Views
I think the greens should have been on Nynaeve's side as well LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:18:16 PM 1525 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 1012 Views

Strength was "prized" in the AoL ... but lack of strength was not a negative darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 01:41:08 AM 1399 Views
The test is stupid and it was about time someone pointed it out Zeratul - 07/12/2010 10:29:38 PM 1421 Views

Status is not an end in itself. *NM* Chas - 07/12/2010 11:52:37 PM 704 Views
They're not really stupid... DomA - 08/12/2010 01:00:20 AM 1519 Views
Not saying they are. It's just that most AS that we've come across Chas - 08/12/2010 02:20:05 AM 1224 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 1476 Views
yeah because that's so realistic Sidious - 08/12/2010 12:17:29 PM 1407 Views
Egwene had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Variant - 08/12/2010 11:50:17 PM 1372 Views
Bah... DomA - 09/12/2010 10:56:24 AM 1524 Views
Nope, the Sitters were always stupid Zeratul - 09/12/2010 12:37:05 PM 1490 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 1485 Views

if that is the purpose of the test LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 01:34:45 PM 1440 Views
minor disagreement darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:27:51 PM 1503 Views
Yes, but you can be not-panicked and not calm of body LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:38:56 PM 1367 Views
not really the same thing as what the AS are getting at though darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 09:02:05 PM 1984 Views
that's retarded, imo LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 12:21:27 AM 1535 Views
About Elaida... Zeratul - 09/12/2010 12:29:21 PM 1501 Views
...no wonder the Aes Sedai are floundering LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 01:43:42 PM 1238 Views
Oh it's totally stupid! darius_sedai - 09/12/2010 04:37:14 PM 1479 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 1399 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 1527 Views
hmm. curse smarming, then *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 07:47:26 PM 630 Views
As I recall... Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2010 05:18:25 AM 1432 Views
Oh. Well, I'm sorry then. Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2010 06:48:50 PM 1480 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 1228 Views
Yeah, but how does that work? Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2010 10:24:35 PM 1375 Views
Somewhere in the sub-conscious they know what they're doing is important to them. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:20:47 AM 1482 Views
Even so, it wouldn't work. Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2010 03:32:55 AM 1407 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 694 Views
Another headless chicken example. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:30:02 AM 1382 Views
the headless chicken is just such a lovely metaphor for panic *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 04:48:11 AM 651 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 1406 Views
Bah! As if an opinion on the test's validity can be wrong *NM* Sidious - 10/12/2010 04:39:14 AM 1561 Views
That's not what it's really about guttering flame - 10/12/2010 05:44:12 AM 1366 Views
