Re: LOL ... I love that you of all people are going to fall back on this argument! Sidious Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 08:05:08 PM

Says the guy who falls back on "Bonfire and Candles" ... now that one of her quotes refutes what you think it's "one quote early on by Moiraine"

To be honest I don't put a lot of stock in the theory either... just brought it up as a side note. In fact I don't put a lot of stock in Moiraine quotes from anything prior to TSR ... she was wrong far too often


I didn't say it was untrue - I'm saying you should actually look at the quote. It even goes something along the lines of 'some say she hid her true strength'. It's vague even when Moiraine says it.

In truth I think Lanfear did hide her strength most of the time by hiding her potential. Coupled with the fact that I think she is considerably stronger than all of the female Forsaken, I think most men and women underestimated her strength and were overwhelmed and killed.

well actually all they really have to do is tie off an inverted weave and never think about it again. And Mesaana is ever so credible

She thinks she can match Semirhage, and will be delivering an army of AS to the DO too...


*sigh* This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. Cyndane is the one channeler who's reduction in strength is reinforced to the point that it irritates us to be reminded of it again. What more do you need?

That doesn't tell us a whole lot, only that Cyndane lost some power (which we know), could have been through the loss of an angreal, which she immediately assumes Alivia is holding.


Because no woman can have a natural strength like Alivia threw at her. Channelers don't consider themselves reduced in strength when they lose their angreal or sa'angreal. Get a grip, man.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 2896 Views

Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 1011 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 941 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 952 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 925 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 879 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1067 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 955 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1057 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 929 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 987 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 850 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1208 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1068 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 1019 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 930 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 1056 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 960 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 577 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 540 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 991 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 955 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 985 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 964 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 945 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 863 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 938 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 992 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 958 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 1125 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 968 Views

Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 1009 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 953 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 847 Views

Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 975 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 973 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 979 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 965 Views

Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 861 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 840 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 871 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 844 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 979 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 595 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 1031 Views
and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 796 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 771 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 588 Views
