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

Because two women can hold anyone (see Vandene/Adelease etc), but they add a third to hold Semirhage for caution's sake. Egwene can be held by one woman who knows what she's doing, once again proving to you both in the midst of your chaos that Egwene isn't close to Forsaken strength. Its fantastic when squabbling sinks your own theories :P


Wow. That's a twisted bit of logic. First, I don't think I've even stated that Egwene bing close to Semirhage means they're the same strength. I put Semi at 90-95, and Egwene at 75. That's a considerable distance.

Secondly, while we're told three weak Aes Sedai are enough to hold Semrihage, in the case of Egwene, we're uniformly talking of the strongest of Aes Sedai. Makes a ton of difference to the numbers you'll see.

I'm insisting that one woman as strong as Silviana can hold Egwene, and your counter to that is that two weak women like Daigian and Elza can hold Semirhage? Bravo!


but we have a definitive quote that a woman as strong as Amys cannot hold Egwene on her own. Amys states it outright at a time when Egwene was weaker than she is when Silviana and forkroot hold Egwene.

I agree that Semirhage is in the mid-90s and would place Egwene around an 80 ... difference of about Daigian's strength ... which in the grand scheme is pretty significant since Daigian is stronger than about 1/3 of all Channelers.

Hmmm... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 02:08:40 AM 1017 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 975 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 925 Views
Keep believing that... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:30:14 PM 1054 Views
*shrugs* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 03:49:10 PM 1004 Views
Tired and forkroot are the same now? fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 03:55:22 PM 910 Views
No it's the literary device darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:04:28 PM 1030 Views
This is getting ridiculous... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2012 04:43:13 PM 911 Views
You are missing my point completely darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:50:46 PM 871 Views
Impossible. Daigian is exactly 0.32SD below the mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 11:06:04 AM 974 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 1030 Views
That's the whole point. Thanks for finally seeing it. Shannow - 19/11/2012 09:43:27 PM 993 Views
keep believing that ... but you making up numbers isn't really relevant *NM* darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 04:29:44 AM 654 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 955 Views

Is that before or after she started juicing? Praziquantel - 15/11/2012 11:04:14 PM 969 Views
Wouldn't it be 1 in 105 million? Lanfear - 21/11/2012 04:56:19 PM 821 Views
Are you sure that it is a normal distribution? Dreadlord - 16/11/2012 04:21:02 PM 1044 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 946 Views
I don't really agree Sidious - 18/11/2012 08:40:53 PM 890 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 961 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 931 Views
probably ... Lanfear/Cyndane is clearly remarkably skilled darius_sedai - 20/11/2012 02:35:09 PM 971 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 989 Views
You have proven nothing, except that you have an opinion *NM* darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:21:35 AM 637 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 835 Views
Only because you've assigned numeric values. That you created. darius_sedai - 18/11/2012 02:40:51 PM 958 Views
It doesn't matter what figure you use... Shannow - 18/11/2012 03:01:56 PM 839 Views
What if Daigian is one third Lanfear's strength? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 04:37:58 PM 981 Views
We have a limit for Daigian's strength, as you well know. Shannow - 18/11/2012 05:41:49 PM 932 Views
Are you kidding me? fionwe1987 - 18/11/2012 09:07:38 PM 1094 Views

Re: Sure you can DomA - 18/11/2012 10:54:50 PM 941 Views
You're right, though its 37.5% fionwe1987 - 19/11/2012 12:21:29 AM 906 Views
Oops, typo! darius_sedai - 19/11/2012 02:54:25 AM 977 Views
Again, not possible, due to Daigian being just 0.3SD below the Mean Shannow - 19/11/2012 08:37:01 AM 928 Views
