Re: Mike quit being obsessed about 6 years ago (maybe longer?) DomA Send a noteboard - 26/09/2010 01:11:52 AM
and I'm guessing that had a lot to do with it. He would read his advanced copies later than anyone else, and not accept invites to go eat with RJ, etc. (He did live in Michigan though, and the one I remember was in San Diego. IIRC Jason lives in California)


Yeah... I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact there's long been no dedicated WOT fan at the helm of Wotmania, and the fact RAFO kind of made a point of distancing itself from WOT, around the same time the WOT sites were starting to collaborate more, and Tor was seing in the wot sites useful partners more than before.

I'm neither surprised nor displeased by this. It just is how it is. From my time at the 13D, I have a very good idea how much efforts the webmasters of the wot community put into their work - Jason basically never lost his passion for the series and for DM - they well deserve all the attention they get in return from Brandon, Harriet, Tor and co.

Jason's review... Looks like DomA was right (Review is now removed) fionwe1987 - 25/09/2010 05:40:18 AM 3462 Views
Re: Jason's review (spoilerish thoughts from me, so BEWARE!). Looks like DomA was right Datakim - 25/09/2010 06:00:46 AM 1284 Views
Pretty sure it's not Egwene... randfandom - 25/09/2010 07:07:00 AM 1221 Views
Everyone seems to think Rand will talk to Egwene, but a male channeler also makes sense Matrimony Cauthon - 25/09/2010 10:44:18 PM 1024 Views

I officially hate reviews of WoT (in general) Deadsy - 25/09/2010 08:10:43 AM 1051 Views
No Elayne hopefully, but again it looks like Egwene has everything fall in her lap ajfurst - 25/09/2010 08:10:54 AM 1204 Views

After his COT review, a less then gushing review isn't great ajfurst - 25/09/2010 11:42:39 AM 1014 Views
But he is specifically trying to avoid being overly fanboyish BECAUSE of that CoT review. *NM* Terez - 27/09/2010 04:19:21 PM 517 Views
I suppose Olver could be the one who takes off Mat's eye *NM* Lordling - 25/09/2010 10:01:17 AM 513 Views
Damn, his COT review was infinitely more enthusiastic. What could it all mean? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:06:00 PM 534 Views
But his CoT review was also more enthusiastic than his KoD and TGS reviews *NM* Deadsy - 25/09/2010 01:07:15 PM 539 Views
Hmm, interesting point. Could a guilty conscience be setting in? *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 01:26:30 PM 497 Views
The review is now gone. *NM* RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 04:10:59 PM 518 Views
I'm guessing Olver will sacrifice his Snakes and Foxes game his father made for him *NM* darius_sedai - 25/09/2010 06:09:10 PM 674 Views

It's odd, I didn't see any reference to Rand descending from DM in his review. RandAllThor - 25/09/2010 08:39:33 PM 977 Views

Is there a copy of the review somewhere? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 27/09/2010 01:40:22 AM 600 Views
The review is back up... RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 01:59:50 AM 982 Views
It wasn't quite identical... It was missing the line about Rand walking down from DM Matrimony Cauthon - 27/09/2010 06:42:47 AM 983 Views
The line about Rand wasn't there when I read the review Saturday morning either. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 01:57:00 PM 448 Views
It was... fionwe1987 - 27/09/2010 04:22:24 PM 835 Views
I must have missed it then. It does fit with Tor's not releasing Chapter 1 early. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 05:06:36 PM 456 Views
What do you mean? Rurouni_Kenshin - 27/09/2010 11:33:15 PM 891 Views
I read somewhere that they'd release two different chapters this time. Could well be wrong though. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2010 02:15:28 AM 474 Views

One problem with the idea of a Rand-Egwene meeting in Chapter 1 beyond timeline issues RandAllThor - 27/09/2010 10:29:15 PM 911 Views
Not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2010 01:00:40 AM 898 Views
Good call. I assumed, and still do, that the two events are one in the same. RandAllThor - 28/09/2010 01:10:13 AM 981 Views
