Considering that RJ didn't even necessarily want to reveal it, it was pretty random, yeah. *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 29/05/2010 08:25:54 AM
It makes literary sense. If Slayer did it, it would just be a random, meaningless act.

I hate to say it, as I love this mystery.... GateKeeper - 27/05/2010 03:01:08 PM 1249 Views
Surely, there can never be enough Asmo threads! *NM* Etzel - 27/05/2010 04:18:06 PM 693 Views
I have a theory on the killer that doesn't involve Slayer... FanEditor10 - 28/05/2010 03:41:23 AM 1059 Views
It's not really obvious... Etzel - 28/05/2010 09:08:27 AM 989 Views

Yes, but Fain is a far cry from your average non-channeler darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:01:44 PM 1121 Views
As is Slayer Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:25:07 PM 994 Views

I disagree. *NM* Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:50:02 PM 1074 Views

your Slayer theory is ridiculously complex! darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:37:08 PM 1012 Views
It just requires to combine some clues from the first 5 books & some common sense Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:44:10 PM 963 Views
common sense? darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:51:25 PM 980 Views

The main problem with Graendal is... Etzel - 28/05/2010 05:31:09 PM 976 Views
Graendal has a pretty significant role in TFoH darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 06:54:39 PM 1007 Views
Re: The main problem with Graendal is... DomA - 28/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 1114 Views
my first thought was it was Sammael or Graendal. Come LoC it was clear to me that it was Graendal. darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 09:44:38 PM 1145 Views

if there are clues in TFoH I find it hard to believe that Slayer is involved darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:29:40 PM 939 Views

If Slayer is actually the killer... Etzel - 29/05/2010 02:20:32 PM 973 Views
Please, RJ would do as he always had and immediately RAFOd a question like that darius_sedai - 29/05/2010 02:26:10 PM 933 Views
Well, I don't think so. Etzel - 29/05/2010 02:43:28 PM 947 Views

But Slayer could have met Asmo, when he was killed.. *NM* Etzel - 06/06/2010 01:06:01 PM 880 Views
Directly contradicts what RJ said "they did not meet in the books" darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 02:51:50 PM 848 Views

except the Author said it was a murder of opportunity darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 11:13:14 PM 912 Views
That is simply false. Etzel - 02/06/2010 10:00:27 AM 951 Views

Of course, it is false Etzel - 02/06/2010 12:13:11 PM 939 Views
Here are the quotes darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 12:39:29 PM 877 Views
As said, those quotes simply don't support that the murder was basically just an unplanned accident. *NM* Etzel - 02/06/2010 02:14:29 PM 646 Views
I disagree. It's pretty much black and white that the opportunity/timing is the key factor to darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 02:39:03 PM 799 Views
Actually I like it because it fits Slayer better than Graendal, as pointed out. *NM* Etzel - 02/06/2010 02:51:24 PM 485 Views

As I explained you several times, I can see why RJ thought it is obvious, yes... Etzel - 07/06/2010 02:17:01 PM 902 Views
