Re: Did the characters come too easily to power? Underwood Send a noteboard - 17/03/2010 01:38:02 PM
Cannoli,

I just have to say that was amazingly well-written and well thought out.
As for your question itself, whether it was too easy for them, and would it be better (or more realistic, or more mature) if the character had to actually commit...harsh acts, for the greater good, I see what you're saying. I think there's still opportunity for characters to have to make that choice, so hopefully your wishes will come true!

Once again...well done, sir. This was a very good read.

Look who's talking - look at how you write "long" ! Cannoli - 18/03/2010 02:06:42 PM 974 Views
I usually read Cannoli's epic-length posts... Myrdhyn - 17/03/2010 04:08:33 PM 1110 Views
Ha! Imagine if I didn't double-space the paragraphs. That is a fairly new practice on my part. *NM* Cannoli - 18/03/2010 03:36:13 PM 513 Views
I'd suggest you had more paragraphs......with a lot of spacing..... *NM* car'a'aman - 19/03/2010 04:42:05 AM 552 Views
Oh I know. I've been lurking here/wotmania for a VERY long time. Myrdhyn - 22/03/2010 01:31:30 PM 1043 Views

I would say those cases are both examples of aknowledging their own limitations and priorities Cannoli - 18/03/2010 04:02:13 PM 1152 Views

I was more focussed on the cost of GETTING power, not the prices of discharging it responsibly Cannoli - 18/03/2010 04:27:18 PM 1235 Views
I think this is an excellent analysis redqueen - 18/03/2010 01:56:33 PM 1145 Views

While most of this is true... fionwe1987 - 19/03/2010 06:47:19 AM 1019 Views
Siuan's failure to properly help Rand should motivate Egwene to overthrow...oh, right. Egwene. Cannoli - 19/03/2010 11:52:10 PM 1068 Views
What do you mean by "properly"? fionwe1987 - 20/03/2010 07:57:26 AM 987 Views
She did that because the Black Ajah was her personal boogeyman Cannoli - 20/03/2010 09:58:54 AM 1161 Views
