Re: No three women could block him from the Source... Underwood Send a noteboard - 16/06/2010 04:00:00 PM
I just like how some people in this thread have used the fact that Lanfear ALMOST shielded Rand as proof that she clearly could shield him. That is an impressive example of using evidence to prove your pre-concieved idea, rather than the other way around.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 1955 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1038 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1101 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1176 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1142 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1120 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 963 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 966 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 837 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 853 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1017 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 968 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 942 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 935 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 892 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 982 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 835 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 942 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 860 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 902 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 906 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 877 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 896 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 929 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 896 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 848 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1834 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1017 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 939 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 901 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 860 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1039 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1068 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 843 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 887 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 891 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 875 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1031 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1033 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 927 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1015 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1027 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 966 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 935 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 991 Views

Re: Okay... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:39:01 PM 916 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 542 Views
What? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:45:16 PM 844 Views

Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 840 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 991 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 717 Views

Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 879 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 990 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 963 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1042 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 896 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 898 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 826 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 731 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1023 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 890 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 913 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 870 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 884 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 934 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1022 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 879 Views
well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM 924 Views
