Re: Show me where in the books an adviser is selected by Tower authorities! Sidious Send a noteboard - 15/10/2012 10:38:16 AM


I don't have my books with me this week but at one point the Reds are speaking about a newly raised Sister who has been sent to keep an eye on someone and to advise them. They say in the middle of this that she is 'quite strong'. I always thought it was good evidence that the strength of the advisor is of importance to them.

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 1115 Views
Not interested in Linda's private theories. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 02:29:41 AM 1251 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 1118 Views
And there's Sorilea... DomA - 15/10/2012 02:53:15 AM 1332 Views
Perhaps, but Bair is in her 80s and can't channel at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:09:35 AM 1074 Views

The thing is Elaida had no experience in the arena at all darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:25:10 AM 1087 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 1100 Views
Nope. Every other advisor we've seen has been sent from TV darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:50:07 AM 1066 Views
Those are not official advisers, those are ambassadors! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:17:51 AM 1131 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 1051 Views
Finally! I was beginning to despair of your literacy! Cannoli - 15/10/2012 04:34:18 AM 1132 Views
now I am questioning your literacy *NM* darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:40:45 AM 717 Views
She didn't "land it". She took the job for herself... DomA - 15/10/2012 04:00:35 AM 1083 Views
Actually every advisor we've seen except Elaida has been appointed darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 04:11:39 AM 1103 Views

Again. I refer you to Linda's blog. The relevant quotes are there ... Enjoy darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 02:52:03 AM 1083 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 1106 Views
You mean the only way she could avoid become Queen was to flee? darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 03:30:26 AM 1109 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 1075 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 1076 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 991 Views
Nope. It substantiates that the Tower will exert itself to ensure its Political standing darius_sedai - 15/10/2012 05:41:33 AM 1056 Views
Oh for the love of...! Here's the relevant quote: fionwe1987 - 15/10/2012 04:04:48 AM 1171 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 1052 Views

Illogic, arguments from (false) authority and now ad hominem attacks. Cannoli - 15/10/2012 03:46:49 AM 1050 Views
