Well... Sidious Send a noteboard - 18/11/2012 08:43:59 PM

There is no one that matched Lanfear, to the best of our knowledge.

And our knowledge is zero. We have a sample of 14 stronger channelers from the AOL.

I think she was unique, just like I don't think Ishamael truly matched Lews Therin's strength.

You can't really substantiate that opinion. There are several quotes stating that Ishamael equalled Lews Therin in power.

Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 02:08:40 AM 1419 Views
Perhaps, but Egwene is also being a bit dramatic in the scene as she managed darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:28:57 AM 1411 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:13:13 PM 1477 Views
I believe she is being over dramatic darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:26:24 PM 1333 Views
Keep believing that... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:30:14 PM 1471 Views
*shrugs* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:49:10 PM 1451 Views
Tired and forkroot are the same now? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:55:22 PM 1352 Views
No it's the literary device darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:04:28 PM 1464 Views
This is getting ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:43:13 PM 1323 Views
You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 1250 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 1396 Views
You keep saying that, but it is either a linear or a non-linear distribution darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:09:32 PM 1475 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 1432 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 862 Views
Please show me a number that is made up. The 0.32SD for Daigian is a rule of statistics. Shannow - 20/11/2012 07:15:48 AM 1333 Views
Go read Fionwe's post about it *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:33:19 PM 876 Views
Is that before or after she started juicing? Praziquantel - 15/11/2012 11:04:14 PM 1395 Views
Wouldn't it be 1 in 105 million? Lanfear - 21/11/2012 04:56:19 PM 1272 Views
Are you sure that it is a normal distribution? Dreadlord - 16/11/2012 04:21:02 PM 1435 Views
Ugh. I hate power level discussions. For real world applications, it should be kind of meaningless beetnemesis - 16/11/2012 10:28:49 PM 1332 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 18/11/2012 08:40:53 PM 1309 Views
Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:13:48 PM 1344 Views
Re: Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel Sidious - 20/11/2012 08:10:01 AM 1336 Views
probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 1376 Views
Since I've proven that it's not a normal distribution in units of absolute strength, SDs don't apply Shannow - 17/11/2012 07:48:21 PM 1406 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 848 Views
You simply don't get it. It is mathematically a fact. There is no opinion involved. Shannow - 18/11/2012 02:19:40 PM 1184 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 1366 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 1263 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 1399 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 1324 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1472 Views
Sure you can darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 10:09:31 PM 1388 Views
Re: Sure you can DomA - 18/11/2012 10:54:50 PM 1377 Views
You're right, though its 37.5% fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 12:21:29 AM 1343 Views
Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 1389 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 1342 Views
Egwene is definitely not 2x Amys... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 04:05:12 PM 1252 Views

You need to read it for yourself, since you're completely confused. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:54:26 PM 1325 Views
Not going to argue this with you. darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:09:44 PM 1235 Views

Exactly *NM* Sidious - 20/11/2012 04:55:28 PM 1306 Views
BEcause Cadsuane is close on the heels of Egwene? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:10:50 PM 1215 Views
I'm not arguing that. I agree that Cadsuane is pretty close to Egwene darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:50:34 PM 1378 Views
