He is an opportunist rAndy aL Send a noteboard - 03/10/2009 03:17:07 PM
I have read the books, and I distincly remember him abondoning the "codes of war", whatever those might be.


Seriously, he might be a reluctant hero, loyal friend and all that, but he constantly thinks about turning situations to his advantage. That's more of the old Mat, but it's still there strongly. If you don't like the way we interpret him, then you can shove it; your Egwene series has gone on much longer.

How is Mat scoring highest as an "opportunist" on the Quick Poll? Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:06:58 PM 1591 Views
I picked "Hero" instead of "Loyal Friend" Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:12:39 PM 976 Views
In tGH he was affected by the dagger, which increased his paranoia and so forth. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:22:34 PM 1040 Views
This is very true. Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:54:57 PM 941 Views
I was about to ask if "opportunist" must mean "selfish?" beetnemesis - 02/10/2009 06:49:41 PM 1118 Views
All of that for the quickpoll? Seriously? *NM* Raforsaken - 02/10/2009 07:08:42 PM 443 Views
It's always a good idea to look up words with which one is unfamiliar. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:53:12 PM 861 Views
True. Especially because it turns out that "opportunist" IS only negative beetnemesis - 03/10/2009 12:09:49 AM 910 Views
No. It's not. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/10/2009 12:46:35 AM 990 Views
Short answer: people have different opinions from you. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:13:05 PM 1071 Views
Yes. These opinions are, technically speaking, "incorrect." *NM* Cannoli - 02/10/2009 07:15:34 PM 476 Views
Or: your opinion is short-sighted and simplistic. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:32:59 PM 426 Views
Whatever, mon. Hug it out with your boyfriends over some tea. Or you know, provide some evidence.. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:34:42 PM 907 Views
Your "evidence" is, once again, based on your opinion. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 10:59:25 PM 954 Views
Wow, RugbyPlayingAshaman going up against Cannoli... Napoleon62 - 03/10/2009 02:49:37 AM 1054 Views

But some facts are not in dispute or matters of opinion. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:38:05 PM 923 Views
I think it depends how you look at the definition. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:52:03 PM 1022 Views
