Yep. That was me Light in the Night Send a noteboard - 25/01/2013 08:26:37 AM
I remember, way back in 2003, that that was the first WoT theory I read, and was the reason I joined Wotmania.


That was "The Longest Theory", that Sidious was teasing about. You can't believe how much ribbing I took from that theory! OTOH, I also had well over 100 people message or e-mail me asking about it. A few hated it, but most people were really intrigued by it. I will say this, when I wrote it, there was enough circumstantial evidence that it could have been true, if far-fetched. Back then, I really wanted to believe that Jordan had created super-devious villains capable of clever ruses such as that. (Undercutting each other was second-nature to them, RJ said). While we did get some of this type of by-play, it wasn't on the scale I imagined. :rolleyes:

I'm glad that I had some small part of bringing you to the Boards, as I have enjoyed reading your posts. Hope you found the theory interesting.
Where once was Shadow
Now reigns Light
Darkness fades
Into the Night

I made the switch!
