whatever ... didn't think it was necessary ... and with that I'm done darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/12/2012 09:16:03 PM
not sure how it can be more clear than this statement:

"Personally I think those circles needed to be significantly Stronger than an individual Forsaken for the Rand's people to have survived."


ummm... a circle is made up of people the "strength" of the circle is the combined strength of the people in the circle. I was saying that the combined strength of the circle does not have to equal Demandreds strength in order to have a stronger EFFECT than Demandred. Are we on the same page yet.

If Demandreds strength is 95 its sounded like you were saying the circle memebers combined strength had to add up to more than 95 in order to be effective against him. Im saying that the combined strength could be less than 95. They could have been at 65-70 but the effect of the circle would still be able to match or overwhelm a 95.


I specifically noted the circle's strength ... We have no way of knowing how much advantage a circle gives, the individuals could added up to 60 or 150 for all we really know. We can't even accurately guess at anyone in the circle's individual strength. All we know for fact is that Demandred believes the first few weaves Flinn hit him with were as powerful as what Demandred could generate. Those weaves could have been 100% as powerful as Flinns circle could create or 50% as powerful or anywhere else. we have no way of knowing and we know the Forsaken have a tendency to lie to themselves which means those weaves could have been stronger than Demandreds weaves.


the actual strength. potency versus quantity. If you meant potency thats all well and good but there are enough people here who don't believe in potency being different from quantity and so as I said you were not clear. Making thing bold would mean nothing to someone who believed that potency and quantity were equivalent in a circle.

I really hate to bring up strength in the OP, but thankfully it doesn't regard Egwene or any women. DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 06:01:45 AM 1825 Views
My thoughts Sidious - 04/12/2012 07:15:44 AM 1258 Views
90 is REALLY high DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1214 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** darius_sedai - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 1192 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. DREWRULESWOT! - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 1104 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 1098 Views
No I don't think so Sidious - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 985 Views
I'd say more than 80 darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 945 Views
81 then Sidious - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM 870 Views
and that's just YOUR theory Sidius darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:13:42 PM 933 Views
Re: and that's just YOUR theory Sidius Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:14:53 PM 964 Views
there were more like MILLIONS of Forsaken during these times darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:30:34 PM 947 Views

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels Onarishma - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 1003 Views
Regardless, Rand was clearly in the same strength category when Aginor and he faced off darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:03:04 PM 994 Views
I disagree. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:55:43 PM 878 Views
Aginor burned out trying to use the Eye in the real world darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:12:44 PM 934 Views

he faced Asmodean strength for strength before Rahvin darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:23:42 PM 989 Views
Just to be a bitch Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:17:11 PM 840 Views
you don't actually have to tell us all you are a bitch darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:36:25 PM 984 Views
*NM* Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:22:49 AM 817 Views
He didn't face Asmodean he chased him and wrestled him over a sa'angreal. Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:16:18 PM 1017 Views
Asmo hurled plenty of stuff at Rand during the "Chase" it wasnt all that much different darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:16:36 AM 897 Views
I disagree with your plenty cause no one was TRYING to crush him. *NM* Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:13:12 PM 540 Views
as I said before ... your interpretations are yours to have ... as are mine. *NM* darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:36 PM 456 Views
think youre misjudgjng the benefits of the link. they dont have to add up to 90. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 12:34:59 PM 939 Views
There is also no why to tell if Flinn hit Demandred with all the strength available to him either darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:05:38 PM 916 Views
the "circle" was stronger but the individuals weren't *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:58:38 PM 567 Views
that's what I just said *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:23:34 PM 502 Views
that was not clear *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 07:43:54 PM 591 Views

Re: *shrug* Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:27:42 PM 936 Views
If I had said the individuals in the circle added to Dmandreds strength perhaps darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:28:23 AM 963 Views
in the context of this discussion you did not distinguish between the effective strength and Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:10:48 PM 858 Views
whatever ... didn't think it was necessary ... and with that I'm done darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:03 PM 845 Views

I don't think the Forsaken are good examples Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:18:45 AM 933 Views
We're essentially saying the same thing now darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:37:17 PM 883 Views

Always thought the forsaken didn't really know much about Rand TheCrownless - 08/12/2012 02:38:08 AM 955 Views
