Ishamael's destroyed Civilization twice Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 02/10/2009 04:25:37 AM
Demandred and Moridin almost exclude themselves because of the low IQ of this military blunder.


Moridin, if you recall, got himself beaten by LTT/Rand multiple times. Demandred doesn't seem to have done noticeably better - we don't have tales of any grand defeats handed by him to LTT and I assume it's because he would have lost a direct engagement. It's a little hard for me to consider any of the Forsaken brilliant at this point. Oh well.

To paraphrase that Shania Twain song - "So you wrote some books? That don't impress me much."


And it isn't exactly peaches and cream in the Westlands right now. What more do you want from the man?
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

I still haven't seen proof of Demandred or Ishamael's "brilliance". RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2009 09:56:41 PM 936 Views

Good points! Also, these "generals" haven't actually fielded any troops beetnemesis - 01/10/2009 11:23:40 PM 843 Views
Further... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 12:14:44 AM 885 Views

Just one point ^_^ RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/10/2009 12:51:50 AM 863 Views

Birgitte's not a soldier though. Darth_Katie - 01/10/2009 10:10:50 PM 864 Views
She says she's not, but so does Mat. nossy - 01/10/2009 10:34:04 PM 775 Views
Mat's not a soldier, either - he's a general RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2009 10:51:29 PM 910 Views
Right, which was what we were discussing at first. nossy - 02/10/2009 04:13:43 PM 851 Views
Yeah, I'm supporting your point about them both being generals RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 06:10:31 PM 892 Views
true, but she does pretty good NaClH2O - 02/10/2009 01:06:03 AM 923 Views

Well said. (And its short and to the point.) RabidWombat - 02/10/2009 03:54:23 AM 983 Views
Birgitte is too cautious to be better than an adequate tactician. RabidWombat - 02/10/2009 04:22:45 AM 908 Views
Isn't this more of an outgrowth or her respective specialty? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/10/2009 08:40:46 PM 826 Views
