You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM
i think the Aiel who will survive as the remnant will be those that accept the true heritage of the Aiel.


Nobody has argued against that possibility. As I discussed with DomA, it is in fact most probable that it will play a significant part.

The issue, if you will recall, is that I claimed that the fact that the Aiel were not destroyed in Aviendha's vision meant that it was impossible according to more reliable prophecies. You claimed that alternate definitions of the Aiel could render this possible.

Since then, I've been trying to get you to provide a definition of the Aiel that makes this possible. But you haven't. Every time it comes down to it, you are redefining the "remnant of a remnant", not the "Aiel".

The prophecy contains two parts: A remnant of a remnant of those who call themselves Aiel will be destroyed, and the rest of them will be destroyed. If you can redefine Aiel in a way that is both consistent with Aviendha's vision and with both parts of this prophecy, feel free to do so.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1379 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 1032 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 983 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 997 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 908 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 975 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 898 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 797 Views
What I am saying is that it's not a "pure bloodline" that makes one an Aiel darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 12:16:10 AM 897 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 964 Views
Actually you did In your above post you speak of the Tinkers as not Aiel because they have been darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 06:09:01 AM 902 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 1013 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 981 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 727 Views
Red hair is double recessive ... Doesn't take much to eliminate it from the gene pool. There could darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 11:22:36 PM 937 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 790 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 936 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 827 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 844 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 1025 Views
No , I said there were many ways to interpret the statement based on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:36:11 PM 794 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 814 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 889 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 869 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 829 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 808 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 976 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 859 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 926 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 949 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 806 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 915 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 805 Views
Re: We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing DomA - 17/04/2012 04:18:32 AM 1013 Views
Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 757 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 799 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 797 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 930 Views
