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 1472 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 996 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 581 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 967 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 1249 Views

Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 919 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 928 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 1001 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 1021 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 823 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 843 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 871 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 972 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 925 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 962 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 864 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 809 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 858 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 949 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 867 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 822 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 884 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 826 Views
You just made our point... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM 894 Views
Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 806 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 906 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 852 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 937 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 1120 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 884 Views
Some pretty big blanket statements NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:24:50 PM 1021 Views
