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.

That whole post is stupid, you can't compare Rand's ordeal to Egwene's. Lord Haart - 05/09/2010 10:14:43 PM 1151 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 558 Views

Like Egwene understands the health implications! It's all about the aesthetics for her. Cannoli - 09/09/2010 12:35:57 AM 1044 Views
Well, she was an apprentice wisdom with Nynaeve for a while BlackAdder - 09/09/2010 05:33:25 AM 975 Views
An idiot would understand the implications Sidious - 09/09/2010 07:38:57 AM 955 Views

all of you are most correct! darius_sedai - 11/09/2010 07:53:44 PM 938 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 1144 Views
A few days back... fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 04:03:41 AM 1029 Views
Yes, those are completely different scenarios. Cannoli - 14/09/2010 05:36:30 AM 1452 Views

How can you claim Verin merely "helped" Egwene? Cannoli - 15/09/2010 06:35:47 AM 1329 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 518 Views
I'm not even going to bother with that anymore. *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/09/2010 05:55:08 PM 542 Views

So your defense of Egwene is to refute her accusation against her rival? Cannoli - 14/09/2010 02:12:22 AM 1010 Views
Double Post. See below. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 04:03:55 AM 583 Views

I give up. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2010 07:44:57 AM 1067 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 496 Views
lol *NM* TaskmasterJack - 06/09/2010 02:46:23 PM 525 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 1048 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 669 Views
I laughed very hard at this part: Gher - 09/09/2010 07:48:34 PM 918 Views
