That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene Send a noteboard - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM
She has good intentions and she's trying to reach them in the best way possible, given the circumstances. Her goal isn't to stay in power, but if staying in power is the best way to achieve her good intentions, that's what she'll do.

We've discussed this before darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:48:26 PM 853 Views
Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 436 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 1044 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 1133 Views
What he said. Plus one. Keira - 14/10/2010 02:21:06 AM 970 Views
a very good point. *NM* LadyLorraine - 14/10/2010 04:29:28 AM 353 Views

Egwene Cannoli - 14/10/2010 12:14:33 AM 1119 Views
I think you misunderstand Egwene *NM* Helene - 14/10/2010 04:52:18 AM 420 Views
Indeed Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:14 AM 902 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 900 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 439 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 947 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 1006 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 1152 Views

Re: Slayer Timthetrolloc - 14/10/2010 08:38:16 AM 898 Views
I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:41:48 AM 907 Views
Seconded. I never understood what all the fuss was about Slayer. *NM* RandAllThor - 14/10/2010 03:07:28 PM 379 Views
but he skins wolves in dreamland! ooooh scary *NM* darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 03:48:32 PM 399 Views
I agree. He is hilarious. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 04:16:18 PM 834 Views
I had the same lol reaction BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:40:24 PM 1096 Views
And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 970 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 763 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 936 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 975 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 401 Views
Re: I find Slayer to be a bigger joke than Demandred Timthetrolloc - 15/10/2010 05:00:54 AM 955 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 1213 Views
Re: Slayer BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 04:42:10 PM 758 Views
Shadar Haran Sidious - 14/10/2010 11:28:44 AM 943 Views
Shadar Haran is definitely the scariest RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 03:44:39 PM 852 Views
gholam makes it close though. Joel - 14/10/2010 04:54:46 PM 829 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 926 Views
