But... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM

I agree they could just as easily have killed her, but they gave up the advantage when they didn't attack and when Taim sat there and told them not to be stupid, there are only 2 of them (not knowing Renaile was a channeler). Overall this is a bad example of who is more skilled...

That advantage was never lost. They could have shot a deadly weave at the women any time, and Elayne wouldn't have known. She didn't even know if they were holding the power.

Elayne, however, did a foolish thing by not hiding her ability and that of the others. That way, they'd have held the same advantage.
I'm more interested in the Flinn-circle vs. Demandred and Verin-circle vs. Graendal ... obviously both of these battles were relatively evenly matched and the Forsaken should have destroyed the others with barely a thought...


With Flinn, I think it goes to show that he is quite strong and skilled.

The Verin circle is one of the most important reasons why I think the Aes Sedai are not nearly as weak compared to the Forsaken as some others suggest.

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1654 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 485 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 916 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 1039 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 848 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 1002 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 905 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 863 Views

I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 10:11:46 PM 909 Views
and he's gone out of his way IMO to show that it's a stupid darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:41:03 PM 978 Views

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 934 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 1017 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 823 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 895 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 943 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 828 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 916 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 1095 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 942 Views
That whole lack of communication thing made my eye twitch. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 11:00:25 PM 960 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 842 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 546 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 1127 Views
