Re: Okay, "entirely" was a bad choice of word. Sidious Send a noteboard - 21/11/2009 10:48:16 AM

You admit Cyndane's strength reduction is unknown. So where you place Graendal determines where you place Cyndane too. How do you know Graendal is tougher than Nynaeve and Semirhage?


You're right, my thoughts on Moghedien and Lanfear's strengths would collapse, as would my thoughts on Alivia, Sharina and Nynaeve :rolleyes:. You and Shannow are both fans of hyperbole.

At least I can sit back on Graendal's statement that a woman of greater strength is exceedingly rare, and her shock at finding Cyndane. What is your counter-evidence... that Semirhage is that rare woman? What is THAT based on?


Moghedien and Lanfear...no big deal. Everyone knows where they rank. That was kind of a low blow by you.

Graendal's statement about finding people stronger than her is suspect. I've pointed this out in a thread below, but so far not gotten a response yet. (I'm referring to my post with the 5 points). Anyway, do you think Graendal was being honest about only "very rare" people were stronger than her? That's Forsaken code for "I wish I were stronger than I really am." The Forsaken exaggerate their own strengths. And that is an RJ quote (well I paraphrased). The fact is, RJ said the Forsaken exaggerate their own powers.

As to where is my evidence about Graendal: BS' comments that only 6 people are above Nynaeve makes it more likely that Graendal is not one of them. That's my evidence. With Lanfear, Alivia, and Sharina absolutely above Nynaeve, then there's really only 3 unknown spots left to argue about.

You also haven't responded to my point below in the other post, about you having too many levels (eight) from Lanfear to Moghedien. That doesn't make sense. You need to bunch them up. Anyway, I await your response to my post below and then we can actually discuss this.


I'll respond when I can ;)

Except... Etzel - 19/11/2009 04:26:32 PM 1039 Views
There's no evidence for that Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:31:17 PM 1018 Views
I agree with Sidious - we have no evidence at this time, so she should remain off the list kcf - 19/11/2009 04:38:31 PM 1021 Views
It's common sense Etzel - 19/11/2009 04:40:01 PM 931 Views
No, it's based on absolutely nothing Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:50:30 PM 1066 Views
If you agree that there are stronger damane than Alivia... Etzel - 19/11/2009 05:00:05 PM 916 Views
I didn't say that Sidious - 19/11/2009 05:07:33 PM 981 Views
Well, I think you are wrong... Etzel - 19/11/2009 05:35:27 PM 947 Views
Glad to have you back. Now for the arguments to start! Shannow - 19/11/2009 04:29:01 PM 1092 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:47:12 PM 1089 Views
Actually, you are the one placing Lanfear immensely high, my list reduced the strength difference... Shannow - 19/11/2009 05:05:18 PM 1175 Views
But I'm not Sidious - 19/11/2009 05:17:05 PM 1058 Views

Why introduce that concept, if it is just of academic importance? Shannow - 20/11/2009 07:41:54 AM 909 Views
You don't know the significance of it at all Sidious - 20/11/2009 03:14:46 PM 1051 Views

How can you argue in such a way and still keep a straight face (presumably)... Shannow - 20/11/2009 05:07:39 PM 931 Views

Is Graendal the only Forsaken NOT to overstate her own ability then? Shannow - 21/11/2009 01:53:28 PM 1063 Views
Probably not in this case Sidious - 21/11/2009 11:34:25 PM 934 Views
Your rankings hinge ENTIRELY on whether you have Graendal correctly placed. Logain - 20/11/2009 03:24:22 PM 955 Views
Yeah... entirely Sidious - 20/11/2009 04:33:45 PM 912 Views

This perfectly matches my understanding of the situation. Rand al'Thor - 19/11/2009 07:06:31 PM 896 Views
Seems good, except I'd bunch up the upper levels and place Nynaeve a little higher. *NM* fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 09:46:16 PM 526 Views
Agreed! This make more sense than the previous list *NM* Basara - 20/11/2009 12:07:37 AM 544 Views
Too many levels Rurouni_Kenshin - 20/11/2009 01:48:24 AM 1010 Views
You are completely right about too many levels. Logain - 20/11/2009 04:17:17 AM 896 Views

I'm the same way. I should be studying for law school finals, but I'm distracted. *NM* Logain - 20/11/2009 09:45:46 PM 434 Views
