But don't fault her for putting an end to 50 BA. She learned her lesson from Moggy's escape.

If she'd waited to collar the known BA in her own camp, it's very likely she would have lost ALL of them, and not just those in the tower.


This was even discussed and thrown out because the logistics of shielding 70 women in the camp were unrealistic, and since the advent of the Healing Stilling weave that's not really much of deterrent anymore either.


So your optimal plan was for Egwene and the SAS to continue sitting on their ass and wait for the magic information fairy to come along and tell them what to do? Meanwhile allowing 200 BA to go about their merry way doing who knows what?

Anyway, you're making a lot of assumptions about "most readers" here. I haven't seen anyone suggest that the BA were about to launch some kind of mass attack. I'm not saying it hasn't been suggested, since I do miss the odd post, but I'm sure I'd have noticed if it was some mass consensus. The most likely thing the BA were going to do was flee, which is what they did, less the 25% of them that Egwene caught and beheaded. Until you present some plan that would have netted more that 25% that makes sense based on information AVAILABLE TO THE SAS, then we have to call it a win.


Small point here, but Egwene eliminated 70% (50/70)of the BA in the rebel camp, and and additional 20 in the Tower, overall she's up to more like 35% destruction (with more like 50% of those at hand being captured/killed). That's a pretty amazing stat when you think about it...

Egwene had the best mix of teachers and a desire to learn. Most believable, IMO. *NM* fionwe1987 - 04/12/2009 10:17:56 PM 452 Views
