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 2848 Views
It was discussed Etzel - 20/01/2010 05:27:43 PM 1180 Views
Re: It was discussed Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:09:01 PM 966 Views
Maybe... Etzel - 20/01/2010 07:15:57 PM 907 Views
Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 961 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 886 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 903 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 878 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 830 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1018 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 901 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1001 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 881 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 945 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 799 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1122 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1017 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 964 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 880 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 1005 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 912 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 557 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 516 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 941 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 903 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 934 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 917 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 892 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 803 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 886 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 938 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 909 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 1075 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 917 Views
Actually... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2010 05:57:43 AM 889 Views

Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 905 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 958 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 904 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 799 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 970 Views

Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 930 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 903 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 934 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 902 Views

One other tiny thing Sareitha Sedai - 21/01/2010 03:18:03 PM 866 Views
Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 818 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 793 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 949 Views

Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 530 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 985 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 829 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 795 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 938 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 574 Views

and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 732 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 728 Views
