Re: Female Forsaken strength : a new post TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 19/11/2009 05:39:10 PM
I decided to make a new post because there are over a hundred views in the previous post and it's getting crowded. Thanks to Shannow and all the debating there - I loved all the bickering.


I love how the post had DEFINITIVE in all caps, but it's full of hemming and hawing and maybes and arguing.

Let me start off by saying that Brandon seems like a nice guy, but he shoots from the hip. He's answering things incorrectly and causing all manner of scandals. If we didn't know better about Cyndane, we'd all be in a fuss, but he's making major errors in his answers. I also find it very unlikely that the guy knows the strength tree to any reasonable degree. I'm sure he knows some landmarks, but his own words show that he's 'reasonably' this 'pretty sure' that. It's all very vague and unreliable information. It would actually be better to get a RAFO than to get wrong information based on guessing.


He may have access to things we do not, but when he is unable to look at that information, he's a lot like the rest of us. A fan who is fallible and prone to error when trying to explain minutiae from memory. I have a theory about his "little detail from books 4-6" that addresses this in part as well.

As for the OP rankings, I'm not sold on anybody's list so far.

No, it's based on absolutely nothing - 19/11/2009 04:50:30 PM 740 Views

Well, I think you are wrong... - 19/11/2009 05:35:27 PM 658 Views
Glad to have you back. Now for the arguments to start! - 19/11/2009 04:29:01 PM 776 Views
Hmm... - 19/11/2009 04:47:12 PM 783 Views
Actually, you are the one placing Lanfear immensely high, my list reduced the strength difference... - 19/11/2009 05:05:18 PM 855 Views

Very good point *NM* - 20/11/2009 01:38:55 AM 339 Views
One possibility - 20/11/2009 03:18:55 AM 715 Views
All assumption - 20/11/2009 04:11:20 AM 660 Views
Why introduce that concept, if it is just of academic importance? - 20/11/2009 07:41:54 AM 631 Views
You don't know the significance of it at all - 20/11/2009 03:14:46 PM 750 Views

Is Graendal the only Forsaken NOT to overstate her own ability then? - 21/11/2009 01:53:28 PM 751 Views
Probably not in this case - 21/11/2009 11:34:25 PM 632 Views
Your rankings hinge ENTIRELY on whether you have Graendal correctly placed. - 20/11/2009 03:24:22 PM 585 Views
Yeah... entirely - 20/11/2009 04:33:45 PM 617 Views
Okay, "entirely" was a bad choice of word. - 20/11/2009 09:57:52 PM 634 Views

This perfectly matches my understanding of the situation. - 19/11/2009 07:06:31 PM 611 Views
Agreed! This make more sense than the previous list *NM* - 20/11/2009 12:07:37 AM 389 Views
Too many levels - 20/11/2009 01:48:24 AM 735 Views
You are completely right about too many levels. - 20/11/2009 04:17:17 AM 620 Views
21 levels is largely a myth - 20/11/2009 04:27:27 AM 626 Views

A little more evidence that Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage - 29/11/2009 12:12:37 AM 632 Views
I agree that Graendal is the 2nd most powerful woman Forsaken - 29/11/2009 04:07:00 PM 590 Views
