So did every other shawl-wearing idiot and a good deal of evil women as well. Every single Black sister EVER has passed that test, along with such luminaries as Elaida or Shemerin, as well as some washouts in the Kin. Passing it isn't very hard, which is why no one gets a second chance. What most women must do is prove themselves ready through the daily grind over years, rather than lucking into a break which allows them to skip the tedium. Egwene was not given the chance to take the test because she earned it, but because it was convenient.

Says who? Show me where it says that (when they are provably talking about her original novitiate, and not her episode in KoD-tGS). In any event, even if it was true, that would make her merely a technically skilled channeler, and not a good person in the least.

And she, and every other candidate, was not trained for the test! The two things have nothing to do with one another! The tests to advance ranks in the Tower have nothing to do with one's training, but are more of an initiation an initiate must pass to advance. They get the tests after they have proved themselves. It is not a test on how well they have learned so far, merely an assessment of their priorities.

Because she had the assistance of Siuan, which was available because Nynaeve figured out her game and blackmailed her into cooperation and refused to let her get away with defying Egwene. Also helping improve her reputation among the sisters was Nynaeve and Elayne handing her Moghedian as a resource for pretending Egwene was making discoveries. Handed. Platter.

Did you? Where every other woman had to wait her turn, and before the "Wondergirls" the previous shortest time to the Accepted and Aes Sedai tests was three years each. Egwene was raised to the Amyrlin Seat less than two years after she met her first ever Aes Sedai! She did NOT in ANY WAY put in the smallest fraction of the time appropriate to the office.

Says who? She wasn't waiting or anything, it was simply that the opportunity to take real power didn't come along until she had learned that stuff. Had she had the chance to seize dictatorial power on her first day in Salidar, she'd have lept on it! As it was, she was disgruntled that they did not trust an 18-year-old to issues decrees on her first day on the job holding ANY authority. She even KNEW she was not qualified, but still tried to wield power anyway. It's like she was placed in the cockpit of a plane, protested that she had not the slightest idea how to fly it, and then started plotting out to get the real pilot out of the seat so she could grab the controls herself!

YES! Read the book! That's what happened!

Um, yes.

What the HELL are you talking about? Is this some fan fiction story you wrote? Because Egwene never "ran with Maidens" and even if she had, that has not the slightest bearing on her qualifications for anything other than being a Maiden, or joinig the track team. No one trusts Maidens with any responsibilities other than telling other Maidens what to do. The only running Egwene did was run punishment laps with Aviendha, a FORMER Maiden, who ran slowly in the freezing cold to keep Egwene company when she could have been in her bed in half the time. The only other reference that might explain this delusion of yours is when she is bragging to herself after a Wise-One-style physical examination that she is close to being as fast as a Maiden. What the hell do you mean by that "bond-sister" thing? It was Elayne whom Aviendha actually adopted as a sister and shared a bond with. All she and Egwene did was make friends, what with being the only two people of their age for miles around, that is hardly extraordinary. Note that despite their friendship, Aviendha wants no part of following her as Amyrlin.

So what? This does not prove that Egwene is good, only that she is the only who was there. Verin decided it was time to share her hard-won information, gathered at great risk for 70 years, got to the Tower, found it a mess, and only Egwene there. She was the only one of Siuan's searchers left in the Tower, since the other two had more important work elsewhere, and she did not know about Saerin's group.

Well it's not like she did anything to help it along or set it up, did she?

What is your point? Siuan and Gawyn were concerned, rightly, you concede, and she, wrongly, was mad at them. You really haven't got clue one about logic or cause and effect or anything remotely resembling rational thought do you? How is this an argument in Egwene's favor? And what the hell is cheese and rice supposed to mean?

It says that savages who hold human life in small value, who have misled their people so badly as to produce the Meradin and the Shaido, like her. Beyond that, it proves nothing, aside from her appeal to a barbaric and backward culture that doesn't even understand where babies come from, that thinks the height of morality is a game of tag during a battle.

He made a deal and paid the price. That knowledge has not given him anything, aside from the ability to carry out the responsibilities the knowledge foists on him. The Eelfin gave him that knowledge to be dicks. He WANTED his own memories back, and they gave him memories they knew would make him have to fight. The memories were a curse, because Mat cannot claim ignorance or innocence anymore. When he sees soldiers in trouble, he is able to recognize them and their danger, and his humanity and sense of responsibility impell him to wanr them and put his skin on the line to prove his sincerity. He, or any sane person (except Egwene who never gave any sign of anything other than exultation at being in a battle), would never want to command in a battle, and he cared nothing for the authority or power. It was a burden that was handed to him, not a gift! This is not complicated or in-depth analysis - it is all but stated outright in the books!

You have NO understanding of the Pattern or ta'veren if that's what you think is going on. It has been stated in the story that ta'veren have no choices about their destiny. They have to do what the Pattern plans for them or die. This is not my opinion or interpretation but the fact stated by the Aelfinn whose answers are always true, and supported by the perceptions of the ta'veren themselves. It is also stated that the Pattern keeps beneficial and harmful effects in balance, so the shortcuts and luck that they appear to stumble into are only the Pattern's way of making up for forcing them along an impossible path - it gives forces them to do things, but gives them the tools to do it. Anything it "hands" them is to help them out of an impossible situation they would not be in without the Pattern forcing them.

So what? What does this mean anyway? First of all you are wrong in assuming that Egwene isn't still serving an end of the Pattern with her actions now, and no matter how much is significant Pattern-inspired coincidence and how much is sheer randomness, it is NOT done through her efforts or qualities, but, as you say, coincidence! THAT is the good quality of Egwene? That coincidence works out for her more often than not?

Then you are an idiot. From the first conversation with Rand in EotW, or even her stream of consciousness in Ravens, she has always sought greater status and recognition. This is simply not open to debate and her more intelligent and sophisticated promoters accept this aspect of her character and attempt to spin it in a positive light.
No argument there! That's one of the problems I have with her! She loves and favors this pack of idiotic obstructionists and will always take their part over that of her supposed friend, who is also the one person vital to the salvation of the world! She is planning to punish Rand for his followers bonding Aes Sedai, even though she knows Elaida ordered them after the Black Tower and they were acting in self-defense and that Rand probably did not even order the bonding! But it was done to Aes Sedai, so no matter what the extenuating circumstances, punishment must be meted out, and never mind how close Tarmon Gaidon is looming!

All that proves is that the whole group is rotten, it does not demonstrate any positive quality of Egwene. These things are or should be the automatic goal of any non-Shadowsworn person with a grain of sense. What do you want, a medal because she did not burn Verin's books and has not specifically called for Rand to be gentled without a trial?
