So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM
Because you think they would not assassinate someone given the opportunity?

Talk about ignoring the evidence in the books :rolleyes:.

You're basically saying "Oh, well even though we've seen Semirhage, Moghedien and Lanfear assassinate people on-screen, that's not enough evidence to assume they would do it." Which is quite insane and illogical IMO. While it would be nice to assume that given dependable servants, the three Forsaken above actually have a good reason for NOT trusting these tasks to others: Lanfear herself directly states that she doesn't use Greymen or soulless, preferring to do it herself in TSR while Semirhage gets more pleasure of drawing it out. And if you are going to argue that Moghedien's entire methodology of hiding in shadows waiting for an opponent to stumble into her web before destroying them is not an assassination, we might as well agree to disagree on this, as well.

Notice how the listing above quite neatly includes the two Forsaken who the BRB mention as being exceptionally competent with assassinations as well as the two who've been doing this throughout the series?

Fain's Myrddraal Etzel - 28/12/2009 01:45:58 PM 1771 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 408 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 416 Views
But what was the purpose then? Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 750 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 703 Views

Slayer also hunts Rand Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM 747 Views
I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 658 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 929 Views
Perhaps, I still don't buy it, but if that's the way it turns out I won't be shocked darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 05:20:06 PM 847 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 1790 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 659 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 726 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 366 Views

Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 768 Views
The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 747 Views
The reasoning is very weak. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 731 Views
If you mean... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 807 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 668 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 662 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 754 Views
Key word - "possibly" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 660 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 640 Views
Re: As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:08:09 PM 598 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 641 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 568 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 591 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 656 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 717 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 616 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 657 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 879 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 602 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 591 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 655 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 743 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 705 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 655 Views
Sorry, I think you have an opinion and read everything to support it in this case. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:02:42 PM 618 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 741 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 746 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 866 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 818 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 728 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 960 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 336 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 765 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 668 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 851 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 836 Views

I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 657 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 538 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 630 Views
She kidnapped the Sharan's ... who's to say she hasn't killed others? *NM* darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:17:28 PM 346 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 548 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 743 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 801 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 718 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 633 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 563 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 547 Views
Fair enough. *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 398 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* aldapelan - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 398 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 366 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 361 Views
