Re: Meh Sidious Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 11:15:20 AM
There are still multiple theories floating around regarding assigning random numbers to characters' strength in the One Power, whether Lanfear had an angreal implanted in her or trying to calculate power loss in links from those same randomly assigned numbers, so I'm not that concerned with how my little theory is perceived or whether my opinion of BS' understanding of the series is supported by others but to each their own.


I'm saying that an angreal doesn't increase your measured potential. That is confirmed more than once in the series.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 3095 Views
It was discussed Etzel - 20/01/2010 05:27:43 PM 1428 Views

Maybe... Etzel - 20/01/2010 07:15:57 PM 1140 Views
Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 1206 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 1135 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 1128 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 1103 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 1052 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1286 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 1168 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1255 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 1096 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 1198 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 1028 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1473 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1265 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 1206 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 1138 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 1253 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 1200 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 672 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 638 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 1170 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 1173 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 1178 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 1166 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 1168 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 1087 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 1163 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 1212 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 1163 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 1351 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 1152 Views
Actually... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2010 05:57:43 AM 1151 Views

Re: I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:43:28 PM 1169 Views
Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 1177 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 1204 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 1168 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 1072 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 1249 Views
I don't think it has to be so unique... Etzel - 21/01/2010 01:13:00 PM 1217 Views
Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 1222 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 1363 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 1160 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 1167 Views
In her letter to Thom Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:55:32 PM 1185 Views
One other tiny thing Sareitha Sedai - 21/01/2010 03:18:03 PM 1091 Views
Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 1079 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 1070 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 1207 Views
I think the "bubble of hope" was simply ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 07:08:44 PM 996 Views
Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 643 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 1236 Views

Yeah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:43:24 PM 1175 Views
The closest I ever saw was the "Lightfriend/Purple Ajah" theory darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:46:20 PM 1413 Views
Yeah, the Verin revelation was cool... Etzel - 20/01/2010 08:48:53 PM 1140 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 1066 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 1030 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 1180 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 689 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 1240 Views
and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 980 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 969 Views
