That depends on whether moving gateways are possible. rAndy aL Send a noteboard - 19/11/2009 02:01:40 AM
Look at the principles to make a gateway.

Using Saidar, you make two places identical. If you can make the area you defend vibrate ever so slightly, not noticeable to living creatures, but meaningful for a gateway, you can render it impossible to make two places identical, and gateway can't form.


Unless you make the other area vibrate ever so slightly to match it.

Using Saidin, you try to pull two places together. If one place is always moving just so slightly, there is a tiny gap and a gateway can't form.


I think a gateway should be able to deal with these problems. A gateway already has to match the rotation of the Earth, and gateways are supposed to be possible between planets. This would be impossible if such a small diffenence in velocity would prevent a gateway.

I might as well present my argument in full Sidious - 16/11/2009 09:52:34 AM 650 Views
Both options can be valid, but here's why you MUST have the ward... Shannow - 16/11/2009 10:10:55 AM 812 Views

You're talking about manipulating the Pattern? Kronin al'Sulc - 17/11/2009 01:54:32 PM 457 Views

I think there's some evidence in favor of the wards idea you are all missing. Logain - 16/11/2009 05:29:22 PM 494 Views
I disagree Jim - 16/11/2009 07:15:53 PM 495 Views

there's no indication that the gateway isn't almost on top of a city Jim - 17/11/2009 03:09:31 AM 446 Views
It's definitely possible that there can be a ward to detect a gateway opening. Kronin al'Sulc - 17/11/2009 03:22:33 PM 472 Views
How bout a compromise? Gher - 16/11/2009 06:37:40 PM 546 Views
We know that, for e.g., Sammael could detect the location of a Gateway Marshall - 16/11/2009 08:21:57 PM 459 Views
Ahh, I see that Sidious has already suggested this. *NM* Marshall - 16/11/2009 08:30:55 PM 204 Views
i think an automatic weave would be too complicated to cover any reasonable area. Onarishma - 17/11/2009 06:06:54 AM 482 Views

I don't think you need to travel to the Gateway to disrupt it if the ward notifies you of location Onarishma - 17/11/2009 10:57:06 PM 523 Views
I believe that you cannot make a ward completely preventing Traveling. Kronin al'Sulc - 17/11/2009 01:52:24 PM 452 Views
