You just made our point... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM

#1 is admirable, though they did end up letting both escape. #3 makes a little sense from Elaida's POV. The rest just show a shocking level of disconnection with the real world, and most Aes Sedai seem perfectly happy to live in their little bubble of superiority and inter-Ajah politics.

tl;dr: The only useful Aes Sedai are the ones who ignore the organization and do what they believe is right.

If most Aes Sedai seem happy to live in their little bubble of superiority and inter-Ajah politics, why would a full third of them Rebel against Elaida? You do realize that those crazy actions of hers are exactly why these women are Rebelling? By trying to excise a leader who does so much harm, these women are doing good, and hence, are not superfluous.

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1376 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 929 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 553 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 883 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 1161 Views

Really? fionwe1987 - 03/09/2009 05:52:38 AM 881 Views
Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 838 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 851 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 924 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 937 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 744 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 769 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 787 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 886 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 850 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 876 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 786 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 733 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 788 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 869 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 781 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 732 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 801 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 755 Views

Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 729 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 836 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 763 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 852 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 1036 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 813 Views
