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 1847 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 440 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 449 Views
But what was the purpose then? Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 814 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 773 Views

Slayer also hunts Rand Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM 822 Views
I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 734 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 997 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 917 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 1867 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 738 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 789 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 395 Views

Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 837 Views
The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 818 Views
The reasoning is very weak. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 811 Views
If you mean... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 888 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 742 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 731 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 833 Views
Key word - "possibly" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 744 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 710 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 642 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 720 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 643 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 688 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 731 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 793 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 687 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 730 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 952 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 683 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 666 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 727 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 820 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 779 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 731 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 702 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 809 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 828 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 947 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 892 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 793 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1027 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 366 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 839 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 743 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 933 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 907 Views

Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 639 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 739 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 612 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 708 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 377 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 589 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 821 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 891 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 797 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 712 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 644 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 625 Views
Fair enough. *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 429 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* aldapelan - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 433 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 396 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 392 Views
