Re: Meh RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 03:09:10 PM
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.


I don't believe that theory, but I used it as an example of the ideas that are bandied about on these boards, some of which come back in different forms all the time.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 3097 Views
It was discussed Etzel - 20/01/2010 05:27:43 PM 1429 Views

Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 1207 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 1138 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 1129 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 1104 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 1053 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1287 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 1170 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1256 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 1097 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 1199 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 1030 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1475 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1266 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 1209 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 1140 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 1254 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 1201 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 673 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 639 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 1172 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 1174 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 1180 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 1167 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 1169 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 1088 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 1164 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 1213 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 1164 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 1352 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 1153 Views
Actually... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2010 05:57:43 AM 1152 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 1170 Views
Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 1179 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 1205 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 1169 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 1074 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 1250 Views
I don't think it has to be so unique... Etzel - 21/01/2010 01:13:00 PM 1218 Views
Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 1223 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 1364 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 1162 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 1168 Views

One other tiny thing Sareitha Sedai - 21/01/2010 03:18:03 PM 1092 Views
Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 1081 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 1071 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 1208 Views

Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 644 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 1237 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 1068 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 1031 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 1181 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 690 Views

and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 981 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 969 Views
