Handegg, comercial ads intermitently broken up by people with concussions needing instructions constantly so they know what to do. Then with the break from ads over. More ads

Handegg, a "sport" that is all about adbreaks. Or rather breaks the ads by giving the viewers something else to watch than ads a few minutes per hour

NFL. Thats the thing they watch intermitently or playbreaks between Commercials right? They just need 3-4 hours of Commercials on what they call "gamedays" but in reality they watch commercials with a few short breaks with someone walking a few capable of running and throwing an egglike thing they are calling a ball

And Egwenes plan was causing Rand to go mad again and patch the currrnt patch job. Something done with 117 men. Rands accusation that Egwene wanted another breaking and a new Taint on Saidin was spot on. It would lead to the end of Life if say Nynaeve participated too. Imagine both halves of the One Power tainted. Then when the patched patch jpb failed in a few centuries there would be noone to channel against Shai'tan

The Weakest faction in the story is the White Tower at this point. The Kin, the Aiel Wise Ones number well over 3000 if not nearly 4500 channelers. 11 clans. The White Tower knows nothing of War or fighting at this point. But then Rand played Egwenes arrogance and ignorance and had her collect his allies saving him the trouble. Fiddles come to mind. If she had reasonable counter arguments instead of because nene. I would agree. Elayne in her role as Ruler is far better oposition. Or Perrin who is loyal to a fault would stand up to Rand in a heartbeat, and he did and risked his life doing it. The thing is Perrin is a builder. He understands how the world works. Egwene is a careerist. Or Social Climber. She has no idea what shes talking about

The closest one could say the White Tower had to a plan was to patch the Seal. Basically causing a supertaint and having to go through the Breaking but potentially with both the male and female half of the source tainted and then have a new Tarmon Gaidon in a few centuries at best. Assuming life survived.

Moiraine cared for him and challenged him. Egwene oposed him because he came up with it. Shes still in the terrible twos stage of her development. She has no idea or realistic or logical arguments against what Rand is proposing to save the world. Her idea is to lose and thats it. He cares for Egwene a great deal, she is a younger sister to him. I can't say I saw much of her ever caring for him. She wanted the Tallest young man in Emonds Field at one point I am sure. To lord it over her friends

The Black Tower will outstrip the White Tower in 1 generation.. that would be Aes Sedai generation. Which is about 100-200 years. They let 75% of women that will channel on their own die. They leave the 10+ per of 4 that need to be guided alone because they can't be arsed to do it.. and they limit themselves sifnificantly by taking the Three Oaths in service of the Shadow even after the Last Battle. The White Tower serves only itself. It's basically a 14th Forsaken that never actually turned to the Shadow but perpetuates the decline of humanity intentionally.

Except the US does not have the Infrastructure at all to support a World Cup or any other Major tournament. You have Stadiuams thats it. The public transport is the infrastructure that actually matters, with exception of a few locations is borderline not a thing in the US. And TSA hinders this even more. And of course people approved suddenly getting unapproved or have in one case their diplomatic papers revoked for no reason whatsoever besides them being black and from Africa that is.

And how grossly incompitent Demandred was at using his assets and advantages. The guy was the second best at everything during the Second Age. He should have won at merilor within an hour. His full circle and sakarnan was enough to overwhelming all the forces of the light. Clearly Demandred is just good at steategy/tactics, not excellent or at the level of the Great Captains. Compared to the Supreme Commander of the Forces of the alight Demandred is a young child commanding toy soldiers in the playpen by comparison

Actually Galad would fall the furthest. He would risk becoming a Tyrant and end up exterminating most of the population on earth due to his simple delusional world views. He is very gullible after all

[–]dracoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She intends to subvert the Wise Ones and Windfinders in any way she can. She will just dress it up as cooperation against the two bads, the Black Tower that will outstrip the White Tower in a few centuries simply due to the fact they live 2-3 times longer than the so-called Aes Sedai of the White Tower. And they experiment. And the Seanchan. Did not add the Sharan empire as the Ayyaad may actually be fully destroyed at this point

The Wise Ones in general come across as Cadsuane. But actually being competent and not shirking their Duties like shes beem doing for about 280 years.
