Dude... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 21/01/2010 08:51:08 PM
Cyndane herself said she's weaker in WH (With the Choedan Kal). What's the point in entertaining theories that are blatantly contradicted by the character in question's own PoV?

It's extremely frustrating to read theories that are based on ideas that deliberately contradict plain statements. What's the point in Brandon or RJ answering questions if people think they're lying, being devious, or giving double meanings? Brandon gave a detailed answer regarding Cyndane.

This much I can agree with, though your own dismissal of RJ's statements on OP strength makes me question what right you have to say this. But..
It's like he told us about Shadar Haran and Elza directly in two answers and how they freed Semirhage, and suddenly people are throwing in a whole chain of people who were helping without any evidence. Next we'll have Cenn Buie involved in Semirhage's escape. I also think that Osan'gar was Asmodean. Yes, he spoke about being the inventor of trollocs, but I think he was acting to throw us off the trail. He can channel saidin and is very strong. That's a clue.

This is pure nonsense. BS is in no way obligated to mention every player involved in that scene. He merely confirmed that Elza and SH were. He didn't say Moridin, but he at least is very obviously involved, if only behind the scenes.

The involvement of Graendal (unlike Cenn Buie's or the farmer in Salesin's) is indicated by other things, and in no way contradicted by Brandon's statements. Throwing a fit doesn't change that fact.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 2858 Views

Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 974 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 897 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 912 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 890 Views
I think it's pretty obvious that pretty much any man is going to be darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:41:40 PM 843 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1029 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 914 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1013 Views
Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 10:10:48 PM 892 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 952 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 810 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1136 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1029 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 975 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 890 Views
It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body... Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:46:08 PM 1017 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 925 Views
I think Moraine gaining strength is VERY LotR. That's why I think RJ went with it... *NM* Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:57:39 PM 560 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 521 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 952 Views
I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:17:59 PM 917 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 943 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 927 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 905 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 816 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 898 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 950 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 920 Views
Agreeing to disagree here ... we interpret the evidence differently and it's futile to argue. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:41:08 PM 1086 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 928 Views

Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 919 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 972 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 914 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 810 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 988 Views
I don't think it has to be so unique... Etzel - 21/01/2010 01:13:00 PM 938 Views
Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 941 Views
Also would explain the question of why Moiraine left the angreal on the wagon instead of using it... Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:30:46 PM 919 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 945 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 917 Views

Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 824 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 803 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 959 Views

Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 533 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 996 Views

Yeah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:43:24 PM 953 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 838 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 807 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 945 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 577 Views

Re: LOL ... I love that you of all people are going to fall back on this argument! Sidious - 22/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 994 Views
and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 746 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 738 Views

Dumb question, but do transmigrated souls need to re-reach their full potential? Gher - 21/01/2010 06:19:57 PM 919 Views
It seems like they start out as powerful as they were, but I don't think it's ever been stated *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:44:45 PM 571 Views
