Re: Meh Sidious Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 11:15:20 AM
There are still multiple theories floating around regarding assigning random numbers to characters' strength in the One Power, whether Lanfear had an angreal implanted in her or trying to calculate power loss in links from those same randomly assigned numbers, so I'm not that concerned with how my little theory is perceived or whether my opinion of BS' understanding of the series is supported by others but to each their own.


I'm saying that an angreal doesn't increase your measured potential. That is confirmed more than once in the series.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 2766 Views
It was discussed Etzel - 20/01/2010 05:27:43 PM 1113 Views

Maybe... Etzel - 20/01/2010 07:15:57 PM 832 Views
Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 881 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 805 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 826 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 803 Views
I think it's pretty obvious that pretty much any man is going to be darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:41:40 PM 759 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 937 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 828 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 919 Views
Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 10:10:48 PM 807 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 879 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 738 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1063 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 941 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 885 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 810 Views
It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body... Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:46:08 PM 925 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 834 Views
I think Moraine gaining strength is VERY LotR. That's why I think RJ went with it... *NM* Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:57:39 PM 525 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 491 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 871 Views
I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:17:59 PM 827 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 864 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 842 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 818 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 728 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 818 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 899 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 831 Views
Agreeing to disagree here ... we interpret the evidence differently and it's futile to argue. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:41:08 PM 999 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 838 Views
Actually... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2010 05:57:43 AM 817 Views

Re: I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:43:28 PM 826 Views
Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 838 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 874 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 834 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 728 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 902 Views
I don't think it has to be so unique... Etzel - 21/01/2010 01:13:00 PM 861 Views
Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 846 Views
Also would explain the question of why Moiraine left the angreal on the wagon instead of using it... Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:30:46 PM 838 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 866 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 817 Views

One other tiny thing Sareitha Sedai - 21/01/2010 03:18:03 PM 798 Views
Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 744 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 722 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 883 Views

Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 504 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 906 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 758 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 723 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 855 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 548 Views

and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 671 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 651 Views
