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 1706 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 900 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 924 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 800 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 385 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 889 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 812 Views

Cuendillar shields Gher - 14/01/2010 04:57:45 PM 903 Views
Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 899 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 802 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 751 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 751 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 840 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 960 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 715 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 743 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 706 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 759 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 825 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 800 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 898 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 699 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 1236 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 720 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 686 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 798 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 879 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 770 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 786 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 701 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 771 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 775 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 870 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 796 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 743 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 344 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 344 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 934 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 709 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 815 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 746 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 811 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 825 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 825 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 804 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 333 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 331 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 676 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 759 Views
