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 1449 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 986 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 577 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 948 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 1229 Views

Really? fionwe1987 - 03/09/2009 05:52:38 AM 939 Views
Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 902 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 909 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 982 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 1002 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 801 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 824 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 854 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 952 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 906 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 946 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 845 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 790 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 843 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 930 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 849 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 806 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 866 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 810 Views

Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 789 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 891 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 827 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 906 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 1101 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 872 Views
