Not interested in Linda's private theories. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 15/10/2012 02:29:41 AM
All the quotes and information you want me to quote for you are outlined there
I'm certainly not doing your research for you.

Most relevant quote being this:


We slow, Nynaeve. Somewhere between twenty and twenty-five, we begin aging more slowly. How much depends on how strong we are, but when doesn't. Any woman who can channel does it.

-A Crown Of Swords, The Kin


Note she says "we begin AGING more slowly" and "how much depends on how strong"
And that is proof only of appearances. It says nothing about lifespans or their length. Aes Sedai show no signs of aging up until their deaths, and there is no information about Aes Sedai experiencing other symptoms of extreme age or physical ailments. Vandene was old enough to go off on her own to die, and had already spent a few years away from the Tower, but right up to the end, she was healthy and vigorous. Cadsuane likewise.

The other relevant quotes are also there
Meh. Show me.
Cannoli

Deus Vult!

How Stong was Gitara? darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 08:34:43 PM 1312 Views
So so stong. She had incredible stength. Cannoli - 14/10/2012 09:04:15 PM 1379 Views
Degree of slowing is the same as how long they will live darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 09:22:23 PM 1178 Views
Re: Degree of slowing is the same as how long they will live Cannoli - 14/10/2012 09:36:19 PM 1006 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 1012 Views
Not interested in Linda's private theories. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:29:41 AM 1159 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 1014 Views
And there's Sorilea... DomA - 15/10/2012 02:53:15 AM 1222 Views
Perhaps, but Bair is in her 80s and can't channel at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:09:35 AM 973 Views
Problem is... DomA - 14/10/2012 11:52:00 PM 1136 Views
Again, my point isn't about motivations for Elaida or Gitara ... that is clear darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 12:07:49 AM 970 Views
Show me where in the books an adviser is selected by Tower authorities! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:58:19 AM 994 Views
Yet look what happens the minute a Stronger woman showed up darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:19:18 AM 937 Views
Re: Yet look what happens the minute a Stronger woman showed up Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:35:10 AM 1084 Views
Yet Morgase herself states she didn't consider Elaida a friend darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:45:45 AM 910 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 994 Views
He was banging the queen darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:19:24 AM 953 Views
And what Aes Sedai gave him permission to bang the queen? Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:30:42 AM 1199 Views

Re: Again, my point isn't about motivations for Elaida or Gitara ... that is clear DomA - 15/10/2012 03:15:18 AM 1035 Views
The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 979 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 995 Views
Nope. Every other advisor we've seen has been sent from TV darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:50:07 AM 978 Views
Those are not official advisers, those are ambassadors! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:17:51 AM 1032 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 951 Views
Finally! I was beginning to despair of your literacy! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:34:18 AM 1046 Views
now I am questioning your literacy *NM* darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:40:45 AM 668 Views
She didn't "land it". She took the job for herself... DomA - 15/10/2012 04:00:35 AM 979 Views
Actually every advisor we've seen except Elaida has been appointed darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:11:39 AM 990 Views
You can bully someone into an act, not a twenty year relationship Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:22:16 AM 1108 Views
Not arguing that Morgase had a problem with her darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:33:10 AM 925 Views
We know nothing of the sort. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:14:54 AM 920 Views

And an answer to the rest of your "points" Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:48:07 AM 1180 Views
Again. I refer you to Linda's blog. The relevant quotes are there ... Enjoy darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:52:03 AM 979 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 1012 Views
You mean the only way she could avoid become Queen was to flee? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:30:26 AM 984 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 969 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 971 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 897 Views
Nope. It substantiates that the Tower will exert itself to ensure its Political standing darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 05:41:33 AM 953 Views
Oh for the love of...! Here's the relevant quote: fionwe1987 - 15/10/2012 04:04:48 AM 1063 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 981 Views

Told you so. *NM* Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:21:58 AM 695 Views

Are the Seanchan prophesies false? darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 08:43:55 PM 1162 Views
I've only been saying no for years. Cannoli - 14/10/2012 09:21:43 PM 1215 Views
Not the same thing darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 09:44:43 PM 991 Views
Show me some damn PROOF already!! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:19:18 AM 1135 Views
I believe DomA covered this in his post darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:31:54 AM 943 Views
Illogic, arguments from (false) authority and now ad hominem attacks. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:46:49 AM 951 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 986 Views
The frequently-confessing-ignorance, can't-keep-track-of-what-he-wrote ghostwriter, you mean. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 05:28:50 AM 1070 Views
Touché ... But to DomA's point we'll likely get some resolution in AMoL *NM* darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 05:53:14 AM 613 Views
Re: I've only been saying no for years. DomA - 14/10/2012 10:15:29 PM 1200 Views
Your argument is based on a faulty premise. Fanatic-Templar - 15/10/2012 08:11:19 PM 853 Views
That could also mean the same KC prophesies were is Seanchan before Luthair came along darius_sedai - 16/10/2012 12:54:07 AM 905 Views
Of course there is truth... DomA - 14/10/2012 09:42:24 PM 1079 Views

Was Sheriam ranking? Would many of them have met her? Not everyone even gets to meet the SC. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:23:16 AM 991 Views
Perhaps not. But a woman like Sheriam would stick out darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:37:12 AM 941 Views
Re: Was Sheriam ranking? Would many of them have met her? Not everyone even gets to meet the SC. DomA - 15/10/2012 03:52:39 AM 997 Views

Galina isn't young. *NM* DomA - 17/10/2012 03:24:30 AM 675 Views
Yes she is darius_sedai - 17/10/2012 03:46:39 PM 1034 Views
85 years being BA, 90 years as a sister does not qualify her as a "young AS" DomA - 18/10/2012 05:35:33 PM 1006 Views
