Re: It must be embarassing to be on the same side as such dingbats. Sidious Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 09:28:16 AM
I agree whole-heartedly. Just because it worked out for Egwene does not make it a good idea. She did not plan it or intend for it to work that way, so it cannot redound to her credit.


It seems that nothing can be attributed to her credit.

For instance, fighting the Seanchan is apparently meaningless because she had a sa'angreal. Now, if she'd fought the damane army unaided, that would have been something worth your impossible approval.

Meanwhile, someone like Elayne falls back on generations of Trakands who prepared the throne for her arrival. Not only does she let genetics do most of her dirty work, but she gets senior nobles to cover up for her poor military skills, and her Warder to rescue her from her incompetence. And yet, you basically have an orgasm every time you write about the woman and her meager accomplishments.

It's a pity - someone who used diplomacy to undermine Elaida and probably saved the Tower single-handedly from the Seanchan (the other Aes Sedai were clearly useless), and yet she can't get a simple nod of approval from you.
