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 1805 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 1012 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 1012 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 891 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 425 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 981 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 906 Views

Cuendillar shields Gher - 14/01/2010 04:57:45 PM 985 Views
Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 1006 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 918 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 834 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 851 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 925 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 1057 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 799 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 831 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 794 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 851 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 930 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 892 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 993 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 800 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 1417 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 824 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 782 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 894 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 980 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 856 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 895 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 787 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 877 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 909 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 987 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 891 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 852 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 383 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 382 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 1033 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 798 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 921 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 850 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 903 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 947 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 919 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 883 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 382 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 371 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 766 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 852 Views
