I think the greens should have been on Nynaeve's side as well LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 06:18:16 PM
and the Reds ignore the purpose of the test all time, as evidenced by their decisions as to the DR.

OBVIOUSLY, the "Calm for a higher purpose" decision should have been to, you know, not try to capture him and put him in a box. They should have set aside their mindless hatred of channeling men for the GREATER PURPOSE of the Dragon Reborn and the Last Battle. But they didn't.

The only ajahs where I can see this sort of cold dispassion that is encouraged by this test are the whites, browns, and maybe blues. I don't see why browns have to have any sort of calm, as books don't usually fight back :P

Ajah-specific testing is probably ideal!!

Problem is they are Aes Sedai and thus more likley to be political rather than rational! *NM* darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 08:52:00 PM 814 Views

Strength was "prized" in the AoL ... but lack of strength was not a negative darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 01:41:08 AM 1036 Views

They're not really stupid... DomA - 08/12/2010 01:00:20 AM 1152 Views
Not saying they are. It's just that most AS that we've come across Chas - 08/12/2010 02:20:05 AM 848 Views
They're constantly outsmarted by a teenage girl that has spent most of her life in a damn farm. Variant - 08/12/2010 10:32:50 AM 1134 Views
yeah because that's so realistic Sidious - 08/12/2010 12:17:29 PM 1085 Views

minor disagreement darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:27:51 PM 1154 Views
Yes, but you can be not-panicked and not calm of body LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:38:56 PM 974 Views
not really the same thing as what the AS are getting at though darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 09:02:05 PM 1625 Views
that's retarded, imo LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 12:21:27 AM 1101 Views
About Elaida... Zeratul - 09/12/2010 12:29:21 PM 1070 Views

Oh it's totally stupid! darius_sedai - 09/12/2010 04:37:14 PM 1124 Views
No I know why she took the job. I just don't understand why she got it LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 04:52:34 PM 1064 Views
I think Elaida just smarmed up at the right time, Morgase was very young then darius_sedai - 09/12/2010 05:52:29 PM 1112 Views
hmm. curse smarming, then *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 07:47:26 PM 463 Views

I think it has already been established that the purpose of the test is to ensure that Chas - 08/12/2010 09:59:18 PM 868 Views
Yeah, but how does that work? Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2010 10:24:35 PM 1031 Views
Somewhere in the sub-conscious they know what they're doing is important to them. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:20:47 AM 1137 Views
Even so, it wouldn't work. Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2010 03:32:55 AM 1053 Views
I think if this thread has established anything it's that the test is severely flawed. *NM* Chas - 09/12/2010 09:24:48 PM 509 Views
Another headless chicken example. Chas - 09/12/2010 12:30:02 AM 1040 Views
