THANK you. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/02/2010 11:41:43 PM
Gawyn just isn't good enough. I even think Bryne would handle Gawyn easily.

Even if one stipulates Gawyn's superior sword skill (and there is no reason to do so), Lan showed in New Spring what superior swordsmanship is worth against him.

I imagine even if Gawyn got the upper hand, Lan could just say something like "Well, I'll be seeing your mom in heaven. Got any message you want me to pass on IN BED?" And Gawyn would freak out and cry.

Huh? He was even WORSE in TGS. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:14:16 AM 1443 Views
I dunno. He actaully DID stuff this time Yondaime - 05/02/2010 05:24:48 AM 1550 Views

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1442 Views
Again, what? When? Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 08:08:47 AM 1425 Views
Well, the fact that he's had access to one of the best educations in Randland Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 09:22:28 AM 1385 Views
Completely different subjects, and pretty insignificant, really. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 06:44:35 PM 971 Views
the person to beat Gawyn is Mat imlad - 06/02/2010 06:36:03 AM 1663 Views
Perrin would beat Lan?! *NM* BlackAdder - 06/02/2010 05:52:47 PM 1351 Views

Add Nynaeve and Egwene to the fight, that's something worth seeing then. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:20:53 AM 1562 Views
Egwene would hand Nynaeve her ass darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:55:51 PM 1522 Views

I just mentioned it since you said Egwene had more combat experience. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:21:38 AM 1455 Views

Nynaeve might have trouble... Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:24:56 PM 1490 Views
That's not what RJ said. He said Nynaeve would be a little hard pressed Skeeve the Great - 05/02/2010 10:18:42 PM 1264 Views
she might be a little hard pressed to pass a test she should pass without thought! darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:56:38 PM 1178 Views
Moiraine was hard pressed to pass, and she practiced for ages and is the #1 Battle AS. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:27:26 PM 1399 Views
she passed pretty easily IMO darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:12:13 PM 1496 Views

The test for the Shawl has little to nothing to do with channeling, you know this right? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:23:16 PM 881 Views
Are you being serious? *NM* Sidious - 06/02/2010 08:57:33 AM 917 Views
of course it does darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:48:41 PM 1467 Views
That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1335 Views
that's because Moiraine trained and is relatively skilled (for AS) darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 07:34:05 PM 1474 Views
That's nonsensical. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 09:02:13 PM 1474 Views
It's what RJ said ... "too much specialization" darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:14:38 PM 1360 Views

Re: Can you provide that quote? Skeeve the Great - 06/02/2010 08:19:08 PM 1452 Views
Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:30:52 PM 1419 Views
there is nothing to say that multiple weaves are involved. darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:16:29 PM 1342 Views
That's the nature on the weaving. Skeeve the Great - 06/02/2010 09:24:39 PM 1406 Views

1 Blossom = 1 Weave ... there is nothing to say that each thread requires splitting flows darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 10:48:11 PM 1451 Views
Fine, I used the word weave when I should have used flow. 36 flows to create 12 weaves. *NM* Datakim - 06/02/2010 10:57:09 PM 848 Views
