Re: as we've discussed in the past, it's very loose Sidious Send a noteboard - 09/01/2010 09:15:32 PM
I deleted the arguments that are purely opinion... no use going in circles over the our personal interpretations ... suffice to say I disagree with how you take words like "amazing" to mean Nynaeve must be 2x as strong. And we've not got a comparative quote about how brightly Egwene or Elayne shine, in fact we've never even seen them draw to full potential unaided so it's practically impossible to use quotes like that to quantify their strength.


Well for myself, I'd call a man amazing if he was physically twice as strong as me. If he was 20% stronger, I'd even consider challenging him.

In short, RJ's choice of adjectives doesn't cut it for me


I think they're valuable clues. *cough* bonfire.

Elayne and Egwene also comment on how massively complex Healing seems at one point or another, yet now they are re-discovering Traveling and making Ter'angreal. Egwene notes how she thought she'd never be able to weave 12 flows at once, yet now she can ... IMO Nynaeve and Rand started out at very close to full potential early in the series and Egwene/Elayne started from scratch.


Bah.

She flat out states that lifting them both would take half of the saidar in the Well. Seems pretty straight forward to me.


I'm saying that the well may have a limitation on how quickly it can be drawn upon.

We're talking brute force here, not some intricate weave, skill isn't exactly necessary to pick something up and move it.


What's recurrently mentioned as one of the hardest things to do in channeling?

Yet Egwene hoisted the SF women "Some ten or twelve paces above the surface" that's 3 or more Stories of a building. Even the Palaces in WoT are described as only about 4 Stories tall ... Nynaeve was only lifting Rand and Lan to a 3rd floor room, that's pretty much the exact same height Egwene describes.


Lol, this is getting kind of amusing. I thought the building was high - Rand said if he fell he'd die.

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1518 Views
Basically you have to be ready for anything! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 03:45:31 PM 869 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 435 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 797 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 911 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 734 Views

For a major theme, it sure is surprising Wotmaniac Reborn - 08/01/2010 04:10:22 AM 791 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 877 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 791 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 764 Views

I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 10:11:46 PM 792 Views

I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 828 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 902 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 717 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 774 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 826 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 731 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 785 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 977 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 824 Views
That whole lack of communication thing made my eye twitch. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 11:00:25 PM 847 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 730 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 483 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 992 Views
