Egwene is about as strong as Melaine and Amys combined darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 19/11/2012 09:19:50 PM
We know Cadsuane is just short of Egwene

There is no evidence of this, and don't mention the Merana quote - I looked it up and it says no such thing.

That was Aviendha speaking from ignorance, nothing else.

Amys herself says that Egwene is much stronger than her in saidar.


There is no reason to assume Aviendha is wrong in a direct quote about something as simple as strength. Now it's probable that Aviendha was speaking about Potential rather than current strength, but even still Egwene was enough stronger than Amys to batter down the shield Amys held on her later in the book

Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 02:08:40 AM 1015 Views
Perhaps, but Egwene is also being a bit dramatic in the scene as she managed darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:28:57 AM 974 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:13:13 PM 1025 Views
I believe she is being over dramatic darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:26:24 PM 922 Views
Keep believing that... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:30:14 PM 1050 Views
*shrugs* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:49:10 PM 1001 Views
Tired and forkroot are the same now? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:55:22 PM 908 Views
No it's the literary device darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:04:28 PM 1028 Views
This is getting ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:43:13 PM 907 Views
You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 870 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 972 Views
You keep saying that, but it is either a linear or a non-linear distribution darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:09:32 PM 1029 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 991 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 653 Views
Please show me a number that is made up. The 0.32SD for Daigian is a rule of statistics. Shannow - 20/11/2012 07:15:48 AM 953 Views
Go read Fionwe's post about it *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:33:19 PM 668 Views
Is that before or after she started juicing? Praziquantel - 15/11/2012 11:04:14 PM 967 Views
Wouldn't it be 1 in 105 million? Lanfear - 21/11/2012 04:56:19 PM 819 Views
Are you sure that it is a normal distribution? Dreadlord - 16/11/2012 04:21:02 PM 1043 Views
Ugh. I hate power level discussions. For real world applications, it should be kind of meaningless beetnemesis - 16/11/2012 10:28:49 PM 943 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 18/11/2012 08:40:53 PM 885 Views
Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:13:48 PM 959 Views
Re: Perhaps, but we've seen that a MUCH weaker Channeler can win in a duel Sidious - 20/11/2012 08:10:01 AM 930 Views
probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 970 Views
Since I've proven that it's not a normal distribution in units of absolute strength, SDs don't apply Shannow - 17/11/2012 07:48:21 PM 988 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 635 Views
You simply don't get it. It is mathematically a fact. There is no opinion involved. Shannow - 18/11/2012 02:19:40 PM 832 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 956 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 835 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 978 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 931 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1089 Views
Sure you can darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 10:09:31 PM 990 Views
Re: Sure you can DomA - 18/11/2012 10:54:50 PM 939 Views
You're right, though its 37.5% fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 12:21:29 AM 905 Views
Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 975 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 925 Views

Exactly *NM* Sidious - 20/11/2012 04:55:28 PM 868 Views
BEcause Cadsuane is close on the heels of Egwene? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:10:50 PM 815 Views
I'm not arguing that. I agree that Cadsuane is pretty close to Egwene darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:50:34 PM 920 Views
