The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 09:17:20 AM
Unless you can prove that damane will become power hungry megalomaniacs if left free, leashing them serves no purpose.

The way to handle mass murderers is not to control their ability to mass murder. It is to remove that ability completely.

If the Seanchan genuinely believe that the OP taints people who wield it, they should kill all channelers. Harnessing the channelers ability merely alters who can misuse the power. How is that a solution to the problem?

What if the White Tower created a Senachan like state in the Westlands? Ruthlessly killed all opposition, used the Power in war, used their extensive system of eyes and ears to deliver swift retribution and forced every girl who could channel to join the White Tower?

Some of that already happens, and you have harshly criticized the Tower for it. But somehow, when it is non channelers who end up wielding the Power for their purposes, its alright?

This is ridiculous hypocrisy on your part.

Except the Seanchan are not spoiled chidlren who mistake "wishful thinking" for a plan Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:48:45 AM 1056 Views
Or he could have used the Choedan Kal TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:21:42 PM 999 Views
What Choedan Kal? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:15:24 PM 405 Views
The big shiney ball thing he destroyed at the end of the book TheCrownless - 01/11/2009 07:50:15 PM 934 Views
Destroyed. My point exactly. *NM* Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:40:16 AM 386 Views
For what? Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:03:57 AM 993 Views
if he was it wasn't on purpose. I think he was just actively trying to use his ta'verenness *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 12:15:32 AM 411 Views
I dont think it's compulsion. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:16:00 AM 920 Views
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:21:49 AM 882 Views
He did the same thing with Cady TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:25:51 AM 911 Views
Personally, I thought he was using the TP to do those things. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 07:37:31 PM 858 Views

I don't care for Tuon at all. I'd be okay if her and the Seanchan were obliterated. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 12:44:22 AM 413 Views
And how is that any different from me with Egwene (except she & I are the same race)? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:51:17 AM 415 Views
Have I ever criticized you for disliking Egwene? TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 01:06:39 PM 902 Views

Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT. redhand - 31/10/2009 06:22:13 PM 878 Views
That's complete hogwash. fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:23:50 PM 918 Views

Well that was rather silly. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:27:03 PM 833 Views
And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:28:35 PM 834 Views
Several valid points... Legolas - 31/10/2009 05:17:09 PM 931 Views
I wonder what if Egwene happen to be a child kidnapped at Flame and sent to WT redhand - 31/10/2009 06:30:34 PM 912 Views
Your point has some validity for the actual Seanchan damane. Legolas - 31/10/2009 06:43:40 PM 993 Views
The sul'dam should be destroyed Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:14:06 AM 856 Views
