Still not feeling any better? Have you taken anything to help? Like we have Lemsip and paracetamol to help with sleep and fever etc. You probably should just go to sleep for a bit and set an alarm for later. -

Good morning game 🙂 -
Very well. Here are my thoughts but I still think that this would be best served by discussing it in a thread that shows the new points you wish to make. Surely that's a more organic way to discuss than coming back to a 7 or 8 week old thread and saying, 'and another thing!' like Columbo I do believe that Rand is right and that the Aes Sedai do not know all the ways of the One Power or how it may be used. The show showed his discussion with Moiraine to emphasise this. The White Tower has become a faded system, where girls are taken in young, before they may have even begun to Channel, and then taught that to do a specific thing you must move your hand this way and mix the elements that way and you must practise this specific thing lots and lots.before you will ever get it right. You can see how decades, or even centuries, of this belief has weakened the skills and knowledge of the Aes Sedai when having their hands chopped off prevents them from using the One Power. And so it can be shown that belief does over ride will, if that belief is strong enough. They do not like Wilders who figure stuff out by themselves because they just really really want to do a thing and then do it. So if a young girl has spent her life in the Tower, being indoctrinated with all the things that it is impossible to do, and no-one ever felt the need to teach her attack weaves or even defence weaves because she becomes Grey or Brown or a non exploring/battle Aes Sedai then her own ingrained belief system makes it impossible to create anything she has not been shown, learned, practised and perfected. Then move on to those that have not been brought up in this system. Or even those who first touch the Power. They have not been taught what they can and can't do. They have their own strength of connection and the will to survive/help So an untrained Nyn has so much power and wants to heal and help so much that she will do anything and she connects and does whatever she can with her level of power. And she can do a lot. Two young girls see the man that killed their mother. They connect to the power in vengeance and he burns. Daise Congar (forgive me if I spell things wrong, but you know the new wise woman) sees the weaves and realises she also has a connection to this Power. No one tells her what is possible or impossible and so in a moment of need she wishes to protect and a shield forms. But she doesn't know ow how to maintain it or what she actually did and the arrows/spears break it apart piece by piece and it falls. Llandrin, in her fear and despair of seeing someone wanting to take her child and kill them screams in defiance and touches the power and takes her attackers down. In these instances where seemingly impossible things happen, they seem to me like those people who suddenly have the strength to lift a car off a trapped person. The absolute raw need is there, they've never been told it is impossible and so it is not impossible. And so I still believe that the WT rigid control and training system is their own worst weakness. They believe it is impossible to do anything new unless they are shown, learn, practise and succeed. Which at least 'some' of the people in that room may never have had to do with attack or shield weaves because why would they? It's the WT right. Safest place in the world. And that is my thoughts and my opinions and why I think what happened may have happened. I do not believe that you can use the actions of what other 'untouched and untrained' people can do when they reach out with hope and fear and strength to show that the very first section of this whole series was wrong. I see that you feel that you are unhappy because you feel people are not listening to you. Sometimes I think it may be because they do not agree with you. So, what were you hoping to achieve by bumping this Thread? What is your goal? You say an open discussion. I believe you want to win. And that's a silly thing to want on an Internet forum. Adios amigo.

Dude, give it a rest. It's like you just want to argue. It's not a discussion cos other people give their thoughts and you just say, 'no'. It's exhausting. What do you hope to achieve?

End of Day 3 Day 3 passed like a ghost. The town stirred with caution, not urgency. After the double blow of the previous night, few dared to raise their voices. Whispers replaced arguments. Eyes drifted, but no one held their gaze for long. No new alliances were forged. No bold accusations made. It was as though the weight of death had dulled everyone’s edge. But the vote still came. Not loudly. Not with conviction. Just a slow, inevitable narrowing of suspicion. And when the dust settled, one figure stood apart from the rest: A British Officer. He did not protest. Did not speak in his own defense. He only adjusted his coat with gloved hands and gave the faintest nod—one more order followed in a long career of them. He turned away with measured steps. Not disgraced. Just… dismissed. He has been erased from the narrative. And as the sun slipped behind the trees, the town stood still once more, unsure whether they had made a wise decision… …or just created space for something worse.
