The main difference guttering flame Send a noteboard - 10/12/2010 05:50:43 AM

Well... you're correct, I guess. I really don't see much of a difference between the two tests, aside from some superficial ones.


Is that in the test for the shawl the Aes Sedai are participating in it. They are the one deciding what you'll face, not your subconscious fears.

The first tests you against yourself, the second tests you against your would-be peers.

I think skill with Saidar is easy enough to judge as it's a simple matter to see the skill darius_sedai - 08/12/2010 05:37:27 PM 1049 Views
I think the greens should have been on Nynaeve's side as well LadyLorraine - 08/12/2010 06:18:16 PM 1172 Views
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

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

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

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

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 1052 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
