this is why I think all of the Forsaken are very close in Power darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 20/11/2012 04:51:20 AM
Skill clearly sets the top 6 apart ... Ishamael, Lanfear, Demandred, Sammael, Graendal, Semirhage clearly had the best combination of Power, skill and savvy. Aginor and the others could have had more strength, but either skill or personality kept them from the highest rungs.

How many standard deviations is Lanfear Lanfear - 15/11/2012 06:04:39 PM 2090 Views

Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 02:08:40 AM 1032 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 986 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:13:13 PM 1036 Views
I believe she is being over dramatic darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:26:24 PM 935 Views
Keep believing that... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:30:14 PM 1067 Views
*shrugs* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:49:10 PM 1015 Views
Tired and forkroot are the same now? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:55:22 PM 921 Views
No it's the literary device darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:04:28 PM 1045 Views
This is getting ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:43:13 PM 921 Views
You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 884 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 992 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 1047 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 1007 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 660 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 970 Views
Go read Fionwe's post about it *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:33:19 PM 673 Views
Is that before or after she started juicing? Praziquantel - 15/11/2012 11:04:14 PM 990 Views
Wouldn't it be 1 in 105 million? Lanfear - 21/11/2012 04:56:19 PM 837 Views
Are you sure that it is a normal distribution? Dreadlord - 16/11/2012 04:21:02 PM 1061 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 959 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 18/11/2012 08:40:53 PM 899 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 976 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 943 Views
probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 985 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 996 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 641 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 847 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 971 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 847 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 993 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 944 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1105 Views
Sure you can darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 10:09:31 PM 1003 Views
Re: Sure you can DomA - 18/11/2012 10:54:50 PM 953 Views
You're right, though its 37.5% fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 12:21:29 AM 920 Views
Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 987 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 940 Views
Egwene is definitely not 2x Amys... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 04:05:12 PM 882 Views
Re: Egwene is definitely not 2x Amys... Sidious - 19/11/2012 05:55:02 PM 809 Views
Egwene is about as strong as Melaine and Amys combined darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 09:19:50 PM 933 Views

I'm not going to go re-read the books to you on this darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:39:46 PM 936 Views
You need to read it for yourself, since you're completely confused. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:54:26 PM 900 Views
Not going to argue this with you. darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:09:44 PM 878 Views
Your own example disproved your point... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:39:25 PM 981 Views
let's see, she's both asleep and would need hours to regain her strength darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:43:17 PM 864 Views
Enough! fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:04:06 PM 949 Views
LOL ... whatever. You go on believing that ... no one else sees it this way. *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:20:52 PM 630 Views
What a brilliant argument! fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:25:18 PM 985 Views

see we can agree on the relative strength of Egwene v. Forsaken darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:35:07 PM 945 Views

who said Cadsuane was 1.5x Moiraine or more? darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:03:13 PM 883 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:41:35 PM 911 Views

My bad. Mized up 1/3 and 2/3. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:05:05 PM 941 Views
gotcha *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:46:21 PM 591 Views
Better evidence? LOL! fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:18:55 PM 922 Views
Huh? How did you come to that conclusion? darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:40:56 PM 915 Views
Exactly *NM* Sidious - 20/11/2012 04:55:28 PM 888 Views
BEcause Cadsuane is close on the heels of Egwene? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 05:10:50 PM 831 Views
I'm not arguing that. I agree that Cadsuane is pretty close to Egwene darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 05:50:34 PM 935 Views
Re: Better evidence? LOL! Sidious - 20/11/2012 05:00:47 PM 845 Views
Interesting, but let's go with your figures... Shannow - 19/11/2012 06:54:54 AM 983 Views
Indeed Sidious - 19/11/2012 08:16:44 AM 1029 Views

Daigian Sidious - 19/11/2012 08:12:19 AM 930 Views
