Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM
In my books, if you can't shield someone (because the other one is so strong, or because your weave is so weak it can be cut, or anything else) it means you can't shield someone. Period.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 1962 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1050 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1111 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1184 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1152 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1127 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 975 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 978 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 848 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 866 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1029 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 980 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 951 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 946 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 901 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 996 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 844 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 949 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 876 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 912 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 919 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 882 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 907 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 941 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 910 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 863 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1847 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1024 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 948 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 911 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 872 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1051 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1077 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 854 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 896 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 903 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 888 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1045 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1052 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 937 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1026 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1038 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 980 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 947 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1003 Views

Re: Even in that situation Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:47:36 PM 1001 Views

Re: Okay... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:39:01 PM 929 Views
So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 547 Views
What? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:45:16 PM 858 Views

Re: Okay, here's what I think you're saying... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 11:10:57 PM 918 Views
Sorry for the mixup... BUT... fionwe1987 - 16/06/2010 12:28:31 AM 973 Views
Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 855 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1001 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 727 Views
It's like women's tennis. Put the best up against a middling men's tennis player and they lose. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 12:18:06 AM 379 Views

Bad analogy... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:23:31 AM 828 Views
Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 892 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1004 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 977 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1057 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 909 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 910 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 838 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 742 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1037 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 901 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 926 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 886 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 898 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 947 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1041 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 894 Views
well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM 936 Views
