Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM
how many links in just a chainmail shirt? 1000-1500? Takes what a minute for each link? Could take as long as 30-hours for each shirt, just in conversion to cuendillar time! Most channelers become exhausted after only about an hour or so of continual Channeling ... so we're talking as much as a 10-day week of a channeler doing little else to produce 1 mail shirt? Doesn't seem like a good allocation of time when that same Channeler could be out in the field helping move the army or Healing the wounded etc...

And what if they screw up even a little? scrap heap.


Lets brainstorm, eh? What different kinds of armors have we seen in our own history? hmmm... damn... the only one i can think of is chainmail! I dont have a creative bone in me! damn damn damn

Cuendillar and Perpetual Gateways Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 03:32:15 PM 1655 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 841 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 874 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 742 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 364 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 844 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 761 Views

Cuendillar shields Gher - 14/01/2010 04:57:45 PM 847 Views
Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 843 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 752 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 708 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 695 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 778 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 906 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 664 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 696 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 658 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 704 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 777 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 748 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 858 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 657 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 1157 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 672 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 644 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 756 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 835 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 719 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 740 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 645 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 724 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 704 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 817 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 740 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 694 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 326 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 323 Views
Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:11:56 PM 887 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 655 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 753 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 694 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 764 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 780 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 775 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 763 Views
Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM* Lord Haart - 17/01/2010 03:22:58 PM 317 Views
Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM* Gher - 22/01/2010 09:07:34 PM 311 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 633 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 713 Views
