It's like women's tennis. Put the best up against a middling men's tennis player and they lose. *NM* Tom Send a noteboard - 16/06/2010 12:18:06 AM
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

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 1110 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 1151 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1127 Views

Re: Code_Man65 - 15/06/2010 08:47:05 PM 890 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 950 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 875 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 918 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 862 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1846 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 910 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 871 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1050 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1076 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 853 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 936 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
If you wish... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:34:38 PM 753 Views
Re: If you wish... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:36:30 PM 771 Views
Whyever not? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:39:22 PM 840 Views
Re: Whyever not? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:41:22 PM 721 Views
Even in that situation fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:43:04 PM 990 Views
Re: Even in that situation Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:47:36 PM 1001 Views
Okay... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:59:36 PM 940 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 857 Views
If we use your interpretation of the statements. *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:49:21 PM 456 Views
Re: If we use your interpretation of the statements. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:54:48 PM 792 Views
Okay, here's what I think you're saying... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 11:00:19 PM 955 Views
Re: Okay, here's what I think you're saying... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 11:10:57 PM 917 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 854 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

indeed you have darius_sedai - 16/06/2010 09:34:22 PM 1022 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 908 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 909 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 837 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 741 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1036 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 893 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
