People are taking this way too seriously. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 06:33:28 AM
It's just a joke thread. Taking traits or incidents and stretching them to absurdity to provoke a disconnect between reality and perception.

PS - Rand definitely had Forsaken actively helping him - like Asmo's blocking that Gateway on McLovin's Eve. That sort of thing was unnecessary enough to count as a blessing. Asmo also helped keep Rand alive after a fight on Telescope Tower. There was also Lanfear. Does anyone doubt that if Mesaana grabbed Rand in book 2, Lanfear wouldn't spring him? The Wonder Girls wouldn't even have time to form a plan!


Do note that both those cases would be Forsaken supporting Rand against the Shadow. Aran'gar and Mesaana were supporting Egwene as part of the Shadow's agenda. The joke being of course that they were every bit as fooled into thinking she was their puppet as Siuan and the Salidar Six and Romanda or Lelaine.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

Wow, that's a really strident and succinct opinion. I hope you get paid by the snark! *NM* newyorkersedai - 05/09/2010 11:07:18 PM 1145 Views
Well, someone has to stand up for Rand, yes? Lordling - 06/09/2010 07:10:36 PM 1050 Views

That whole post is stupid, you can't compare Rand's ordeal to Egwene's. Lord Haart - 05/09/2010 10:14:43 PM 1221 Views
its a joke, shhhh *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 10:36:28 PM 811 Views
No, it's clever and tongue-in-cheek. *NM* newyorkersedai - 05/09/2010 11:04:26 PM 632 Views
Too bad! He has trumped any attempt to counter his arguments by calling it humor! Shut up now. *NM* Cannoli - 06/09/2010 01:00:49 AM 729 Views

the humor here is that you think you understand accurracy, improvement, characterization or humor! *NM* darius_sedai - 06/09/2010 01:56:57 AM 583 Views

Like Egwene understands the health implications! It's all about the aesthetics for her. Cannoli - 09/09/2010 12:35:57 AM 1113 Views
Well, she was an apprentice wisdom with Nynaeve for a while BlackAdder - 09/09/2010 05:33:25 AM 1050 Views
An idiot would understand the implications Sidious - 09/09/2010 07:38:57 AM 1024 Views
and it's not just Egwene! darius_sedai - 11/09/2010 02:11:16 PM 947 Views

I feel like this post should be bulleted and made required reading before posting on this forum *NM* Deadsy - 11/09/2010 05:11:14 PM 622 Views
What kind of pussies are you that I pose such a threat? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:15:12 AM 1065 Views
You forgot one very important point NaClH2O - 11/09/2010 06:44:32 PM 1100 Views
As to that... fionwe1987 - 11/09/2010 08:47:26 PM 889 Views

Remember the old times? fionwe1987 - 12/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1062 Views

ugh ... please don't ask for that! darius_sedai - 12/09/2010 02:25:32 PM 989 Views
Huh. Now that I think of it... Fanatic-Templar - 14/09/2010 06:51:59 AM 955 Views
all of you are most correct! darius_sedai - 11/09/2010 07:53:44 PM 1016 Views
When exactly have I ever given someone else a pass for "necessary actions" I blamed Egwene for? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:08:29 AM 1217 Views
A few days back... fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 04:03:41 AM 1097 Views
Yes, those are completely different scenarios. Cannoli - 14/09/2010 05:36:30 AM 1528 Views
Misinterpretations... fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 07:26:11 AM 986 Views
How can you claim Verin merely "helped" Egwene? Cannoli - 15/09/2010 06:35:47 AM 1429 Views
Holy carp. I prefer my form of arguing. I make an *NM* post and then he calls me a name *NM* Deadsy - 15/09/2010 06:47:08 AM 546 Views
I'm not even going to bother with that anymore. *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/09/2010 05:55:08 PM 583 Views

Read his replies in this thread... fionwe1987 - 17/09/2010 06:48:20 AM 1082 Views
So your defense of Egwene is to refute her accusation against her rival? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:12:22 AM 1084 Views
Double Post. See below. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 04:03:55 AM 622 Views

I give up. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 07:44:57 AM 1128 Views
No, I made MY point, and your refusal to admit to the slightest fault of Egwene proves MY point *NM* Cannoli - 15/09/2010 01:17:21 AM 529 Views
lol *NM* TaskmasterJack - 06/09/2010 02:46:23 PM 554 Views
So much venom. Maybe you should take a break one of these days, Cannoli. At this rate... lord-of-shadow - 08/09/2010 12:16:05 AM 1119 Views
I'm not the one posting to undercut the hero, while calling it humor to duck critical response *NM* Cannoli - 09/09/2010 12:37:07 AM 714 Views
I laughed very hard at this part: Gher - 09/09/2010 07:48:34 PM 995 Views
