You seem to mistake "plan" with "goal" Narg Send a noteboard - 14/10/2010 06:23:07 AM
In the immortal words of the computer kid and Bruce Willis from the latest Die Hard movie:

Computer kid: "Do you have a plan?"

Bruce Willis "Find that so and so and kill him"

Computer kid: "I meant a plan as in a way to do that"


Lanfear's goal was to control Rand. Her plan for doing so was absolutely foolish. Rhavin's goal was to control the most powerful nation in Randland. Rhavin's plan for doing so was no more foolish than Lanfear's.

Lanfear's goal may have been reasonable, but her plan was downright laughable. Her goal was not any more reasonable than Rhavin's, and her plan was just as ridiculous.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

We've discussed this before darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:48:26 PM 685 Views
Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 353 Views
Lanfear and Ishamael are both two sides of the same coin, and both crack me up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:58:46 PM 868 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 982 Views
What he said. Plus one. Keira - 14/10/2010 02:21:06 AM 803 Views
a very good point. *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/10/2010 04:29:28 AM 280 Views
Absolutely. Seriana Sedai - 14/10/2010 08:02:58 PM 689 Views

Egwene Cannoli - 14/10/2010 12:14:33 AM 947 Views
I think you misunderstand Egwene *NM* Helene - 14/10/2010 04:52:18 AM 351 Views
Indeed Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:14 AM 739 Views
Even if she's a fraction as bad as I make her out, who is most likely to be around for a while? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:12:02 PM 745 Views
But she's not scary... her idealism is tempered by pragmatism - a benevolent dictator type. *NM* Helene - 15/10/2010 03:28:05 PM 365 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 780 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 852 Views
Dear heavens, let's hope so. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:50:37 PM 706 Views

Welcome back. I was starting to feel like a voice crying in the wilderness. Cannoli - 20/10/2010 07:27:53 PM 662 Views
Thanks! With the new book coming, I couldn't leave you here alone with the Egg worshipers! lilltempest - 20/10/2010 10:02:28 PM 995 Views

Re: Slayer Timthetrolloc - 14/10/2010 08:38:16 AM 742 Views
I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:41:48 AM 744 Views
Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 312 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 341 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 689 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 948 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 812 Views
I don't know why, I just find him one of the scarier people. He reminds me of Freddy Krueger Helene - 14/10/2010 05:41:06 PM 605 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 761 Views
That's an interesting point. The Ta'veren effect is rather scary if you think about it darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:47:02 PM 811 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 314 Views
Re: I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Timthetrolloc - 15/10/2010 05:00:54 AM 783 Views
Unfortunately, most of the points you listed aren't true, are unsubstantiated or show how weak he is RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/10/2010 04:27:34 PM 1048 Views

Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 794 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 707 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 662 Views
If not for the same reasons, I agree this is the best of the conventionally scary characters. Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:15:02 PM 772 Views
Narg: who else is both evil and genius? *NM* Lohikaarme - 14/10/2010 01:28:11 PM 316 Views
