Who says they can't? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 14/10/2012 09:23:11 PM
They can all feel the strength of other women despite the disguises they wear. Eventually it seems like they could narrow it down. Certainly a woman like Sheriam, IIRC she is by a fair margin stronger than any other living BA member. With only a handful of women that strong it wouldn't take much detective reasoning to figure her out. I believe the only BA member even close to her was Merean and she's been dead 20 years!


Revealing you know more than you should is a good way to get yourself killed in such a group. They probably make a deliberate effort to avoid thinking about such things. Also, Verin makes a fairly comprehensive list, proving they can if they want to.

How Stong was Gitara? darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 08:34:43 PM 1309 Views
So so stong. She had incredible stength. Cannoli - 14/10/2012 09:04:15 PM 1377 Views

Not in the mood to deal with you ... Go read the Ages section of 13th Depository darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 09:53:14 PM 1010 Views
Not interested in Linda's private theories. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:29:41 AM 1157 Views
Not my problem if you are that lazy. All the quotes you want are nicely organized darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:50:45 AM 1013 Views
And there's Sorilea... DomA - 15/10/2012 02:53:15 AM 1220 Views
Perhaps, but Bair is in her 80s and can't channel at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:09:35 AM 971 Views
Problem is... DomA - 14/10/2012 11:52:00 PM 1133 Views
Again, my point isn't about motivations for Elaida or Gitara ... that is clear darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 12:07:49 AM 968 Views
Show me where in the books an adviser is selected by Tower authorities! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:58:19 AM 992 Views

How did Gareth Bryne get to stay Captain General, given his lack of respect to Aes Sedai? Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:07:07 AM 993 Views
He was banging the queen darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:19:24 AM 951 Views

Re: Again, my point isn't about motivations for Elaida or Gitara ... that is clear DomA - 15/10/2012 03:15:18 AM 1034 Views
The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 977 Views
IT IS NOT THE TOWER'S DAMNED JOB! She had more than enough credentials for ANDOR Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:45:15 AM 992 Views
Nope. Every other advisor we've seen has been sent from TV darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:50:07 AM 976 Views
Those are not official advisers, those are ambassadors! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:17:51 AM 1030 Views
So now you are saying that Elaida was a personal advisor not an envoy of the Tower? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:22:31 AM 949 Views
Finally! I was beginning to despair of your literacy! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:34:18 AM 1044 Views
now I am questioning your literacy *NM* darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:40:45 AM 667 Views
She didn't "land it". She took the job for herself... DomA - 15/10/2012 04:00:35 AM 977 Views
Actually every advisor we've seen except Elaida has been appointed darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:11:39 AM 989 Views
You can bully someone into an act, not a twenty year relationship Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:22:16 AM 1105 Views

And an answer to the rest of your "points" Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:48:07 AM 1178 Views
Again. I refer you to Linda's blog. The relevant quotes are there ... Enjoy darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:52:03 AM 977 Views
The burden of proof is on you to make your points. There is nothing in the books. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:01:46 AM 1010 Views
You mean the only way she could avoid become Queen was to flee? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:30:26 AM 981 Views
And never ever face discipline or punishment for fleeing? Outside the Tower, she was on her own. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:40:23 AM 968 Views
I'm not using her theory, I'm saying she posted all the damn quotes in one place darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:57:00 AM 970 Views
You don't see how evading the Tower's authority for 10 years undermines YOUR position? Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:21:29 AM 895 Views
Nope. It substantiates that the Tower will exert itself to ensure its Political standing darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 05:41:33 AM 951 Views
Oh for the love of...! Here's the relevant quote: fionwe1987 - 15/10/2012 04:04:48 AM 1061 Views
Okay, but that's still irrelevant to the Oath Rod & its cutoff period or method, as well as lifespan Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:54:26 AM 979 Views

I believe DomA covered this in his post darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:31:54 AM 941 Views
Illogic, arguments from (false) authority and now ad hominem attacks. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:46:49 AM 948 Views
I just don't see the point of an argument with someone who has already been proven wrong darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:59:19 AM 984 Views
The frequently-confessing-ignorance, can't-keep-track-of-what-he-wrote ghostwriter, you mean. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:28:50 AM 1068 Views
