Re: Really? Corwin Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM
A lot of this work was done by Moiraine and Siuan as well as Cadsuane and co. and lets not forget Verin either. The Wondergirls would not have existed but for Moiraine and wouldn't have become ready so fast but for Siuan.


So throw Moiraine, Siuan, Verin, and Cadsuane into the mix. That leaves you with 7 Aes Sedai out of roughly one thousand who have done little else but get in the way or make problems for the main characters in the series.

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1588 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 1105 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 645 Views
That is the inspiration for the Aes Sedai that RJ used - I can't find the article, though. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 02:39:14 PM 1076 Views
When I was reading this I was thinking of the paralells between the white tower and Tashmere - 03/09/2009 02:47:33 AM 1418 Views

Really? fionwe1987 - 03/09/2009 05:52:38 AM 1066 Views
Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 1046 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 1048 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 1118 Views
Just because we don't know all their names, doesn't mean their effectiveness on the Pattern was less RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 03:19:41 PM 1158 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 938 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 981 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 968 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 1104 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 1044 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 1069 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 956 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 921 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 960 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 1051 Views

I was talking about the WT specifically, and only during recent years. It's Gotta be the Shadow, beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:39:11 PM 987 Views
So what you are really saying is that if you ignore over 2/3rds of the AS the rest aren't doing much NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 06:07:23 PM 934 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 1028 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 925 Views
You just made our point... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM 1028 Views
Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 936 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 1042 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 991 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 1075 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 1217 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 986 Views
Some pretty big blanket statements NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:24:50 PM 1140 Views

Agrees with Nossy NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:44:06 PM 1254 Views
