Brace yourselves, everybody... Evil_Monkey Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 02:56:43 PM
I am about to say something negative about my wondergirls:

Egwene never should have raised the girls the way she did. My reasons are similar to those expressed by moratcorlm. Had I been Nynaeve I would have said, "No thank you, Mother, I'll wait until I am in the tower and can be raised properly, please." I wouldn't want to be looked at as some Half-assed A.S. and have that hanging over my head for the next 300 years, because you know how those old biddies are, they'll never let that die. Furthermore, I would have done the same thing Mat did, I would have bowed and scraped and called her Mother all over the place to try to support her to the fullest.

Edit:

Oh, and yeah, she was always going to have to sear the oaths, but the test was total Bovine Feces.

*shrugs* ... the oaths are lame and so full of holes the only value they bring is darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:26:21 PM 763 Views
I wonder what would have happened if she refused and left the tower entirely. LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:30:58 PM 748 Views
I doubt they would have stopped her ... but there was no real reason for her to refuse the darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:34:20 PM 710 Views
no there wasn't a real reason for her to refuse. It'd still be interesting if she did *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:37:45 PM 360 Views
would have made for an interesting spin on the plot darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:37:31 PM 694 Views
How is she not a lead? moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 06:25:45 PM 665 Views
She has never really had her own unique plot line darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 06:34:40 PM 645 Views
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 07:46:08 PM 707 Views
Nothing to really argue here except perspective ... to each their own *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 10:26:04 PM 353 Views
That would have been good - I think she was probably the only woman with such an opportunity Cannoli - 07/12/2010 10:59:50 PM 741 Views
Personally, I think it would have been a brillaint twist if Nyneave didn't become Aes Sedai *NM* Variant - 08/12/2010 12:02:05 AM 400 Views

I think that is true of the testing not the Oaths darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:08:22 PM 660 Views
she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:29:21 PM 677 Views
agreed! and I think Nynaeve's testing rather proved that point darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:35:38 PM 737 Views
Especially since Egwene herself didn't really think it necessary for herself to take the tests RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:43:18 PM 718 Views
well it looks like such a coalition is part of the plan LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 03:47:03 PM 701 Views
I meant one that would destroy the White Tower RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 03:53:35 PM 764 Views
ahh I see. well maybe they shall LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 04:00:52 PM 658 Views
I agree with you. Hopefully Post LB there will be a new structure to the AS organization darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 05:34:01 PM 623 Views
She was always going to have to swear the Oaths redqueen - 07/12/2010 04:42:59 PM 676 Views

Ooops, double post! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/12/2010 02:58:01 PM 348 Views
The only problem with that scenario was that Nynaeve had stuff to do, and could not as Accepted Cannoli - 09/12/2010 01:09:45 AM 732 Views
And what? To miss all the awesomeness she had before/during/after the test? Skeeve the Great - 07/12/2010 06:27:23 PM 652 Views
I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far. DomA - 07/12/2010 07:02:43 PM 807 Views

And yet people keep choosing donuts over lettuce *NM* guttering flame - 16/12/2010 10:47:04 AM 369 Views
It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 08/12/2010 08:52:34 AM 611 Views
Has Egwene swore the Oaths? guttering flame - 08/12/2010 03:11:37 PM 722 Views
Yes - she swore on the Oath Rod in TGS. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/12/2010 03:22:31 PM 401 Views
Love Nynaeve... Hot Pie - 10/12/2010 09:49:13 AM 616 Views
On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths. Joel - 14/12/2010 04:53:28 AM 603 Views

Actually I'm not being flippant guttering flame - 15/12/2010 05:58:22 AM 637 Views
They believe Oaths necessary, thus an Aes Sedai refusing sets herself apart from and above the rest. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:26:45 PM 1079 Views
So? Cannoli - 15/12/2010 11:40:32 AM 697 Views
From the standpoint of actually changing Tower rules and traditions I agree with you. Joel - 16/12/2010 02:13:44 PM 1100 Views
