Better be in Aes Sedai discussion than the Chosen Ones haha. 

 

By the way, just finished LoC, and I hope Dumai's Wells is the only reason for Taim to be the dark faction. Or is it the Black Coat? 

 

Somehow the black coat reminds me of Japanese school uniform. ?

 

 

HA! Probably true. 
 

Dumai’s Wells is awesome. What did you think about it? Well, I could tell you RAFO, or I could tell you other things if I could get the spoiler tags to work. Did they change the code to make them?

It's in discussion. Not my place to talk about it. ?

Wait. You guys aren't trying to make me the Dragon Reborn, are you? I'm supposed to be free from Aes Sedai strings here!

? Not sure who that is. I haven’t had any contact from anybody trying to give me access, if that’s what your asking.

Okay! I asked him for it. Now we just wait. I didn’t know anyone was interested in it!

I didn’t want to clutter up the points thread,  so I am continuing the discussion here. @Arie, since Lava knighted me Logain, I gave you ten points for your game. 
 

And Lava, don’t worry about taking the blame. If I screw this up, then I pay for it. But I appreciate the offer.

Now listen here, that's simply not how it's done. Everyone knows you should only test on innocent creatures and unsuspecting people not able to defend themselves? 

Hmm. Well in that case... *runs over to the Box* I think it’s about time we had another experiment!

@Asha'man Shar'aman your people battle the shadowspawn and hold against the blight. but now you find yourself pressed on two fronts. the seanchan have reached your borders, pressing in with damane and raken and grolm. they strike at your fortress when shadowspawn press in from the blight. 

 

you can bend a knee, take the oath and gain the seanchan's force against the blight, or battle two foes on two fronts. what do you do? 

 

Actually, I am going with a third option. I am going to use a gateway to escape out of my fortress. The Seanchan will be forced to fight the Shadowspawn while my army escapes and regroups. We will pick up reinforcements, and crush the battered and tired Seanchan or Shadowspawn. I will then gather more forces, leaving some to guard the Blight with Asha’man, and I will pull a Dumai’s Wells on the Seanchan. That should scare them away long enough for Malkier to regain at least some of its strength. If the Seanchan dare to come back after that, I will intimidate them, then offer negotiations. If they agree, I will try to get them to leave the Borderlands alone, and if necessary, show them the Blight and it’s dangers. I might offer free passage through Malkier, provided they leave us alone. If they refuse, or demand too much, then I will end the negotiations. Then, I will link with everyone I can, and drive them out of the Borderlands whole. This will be a major blow to their forces and confidence, and they will leave us alone at least until they can have time to regroup and think of a way to counter the Asha’man. This will buy me time to decide what to do next. Malkier will never bow to the Shadow, but we will never accept a defilement of our customs and tyrants in our lives.

Points for starting a game! kthxbai

I don’t have that authority yet! I’m sorry. I can’t give point out. People get points for 50 and 20 questions because that was in Niniel’s rules. Once I officially become Faction Leader, I will give you points for the game.

What?! You were the one who said we needed to practise untill we either mastered it or turned cray cray?

Keep practicing, for sure. I was merely suggesting we ward the cellar so that only you are subject to the random effects of your experiments.

*shivers* glory is such an uncomfortable thing.. Yeah..but if you take away all the layers of lobbying and uncomfortable glory, the work in itself is rather fun actually?  you already got two new members too, so it's going great???

 

Yeah. You have been a big help with that.

Thank you Lava! 
 

We look so old in your image! I guess working with saidin has the opposite effect it has on Aes Sedai? Maybe because of the taint?

Cinnamon rolls to celebrate. Black for the black tower and white frosting for the light faction. 

Thank you so much, SableSage! They look and smell so delicious!

Congrats, SableSage! It’s so great to see people getting raised!!! If you continue like this, you will have your sword pin in no time!

Titles over age! Besides you know I like the work.. the titles and glory not that much.. I prefer doing the work someone else can gladly be the presidential face outwards, reading the speach and smile prettily for the cameras?  

Mohahaha...?

Thank you, Lava! I’m not trying to get glory, I just want to help BT, and the best way to do that happens to be getting authority.

Nothing special. *snorts* Lava, you are beyond special and unique.

Unlike you lot, I xan access old raising threads. ?

Hopefully not for long though!

What are your opinions on the Seanchan culture? Could you live under it? What would some of the pros and cons be? Let me know what you think!

I absolutely could not live under the Seanchan. I hate, hate, hate the way they treat channelers. Making them into weapons in war and pets in peace? It's horrible. The Asha'man were weapons, but they were not leashed. They had the opportunity to volunteer. The damane do not. They believe they should be collared, used as weapons and treated like a pet. It's sickening. 

The Seanchan might be horrible in their treatment of channelers, but you have to admit they are well organized. Their military is exceptional, and if they lose a battle, their generals sit down, figure out what went wrong, and never repeat that mistake. The people they conquer live in safety, provided they are not channelers, and are well cared for.

With that said however, the Seanchan force you to swear an oath to them, or you will be executed. They have Listeners everywhere, so you have to always mind what you say, and they are very dismissive of others culture. The idea of so'jhin, and da'covale is horrible. No one should be born into slavery, and forced to dress a certain way, or live a certain way. Even the children of the Empress live their lives horribly. They are constantly forced to backstab each other, and compete for power. They are trained to watch for assassins at all times, and often attempts are made on their lives. 

I hate the Seanchan and their treatment of people they consider "lesser". It is horrible, and no one should be leashed for something they cannot control, or born into slavery. It is wrong in so many ways. 

I’m ready to defend my homeland from the Seanchan! Al Chalidholara Malkier!

Yes, symbol would be nice. 

 

By the way, who is the faction leader for the Dark? I'm not that far in the books yet, but I'm thinking about joining the dark faction hahaha. (Just please tell me they still side with the Dragon Reborn and not move over to the DARK dark side.)

 

Whatever Taim does with his pins, I WANT MINE. *laughs evilly* 

@Illian Tear is the head of the Dark, but he isn’t around a lot. Umm. Do you want spoilers?

You’ll have yours soon enough. Actually, I believe you are ready to be raised. @Lavandula, can you raise SableSage? I am busy today, so I’ll update the points thread later, and I wouldn’t want to hold back our new recruit!

And @Arie, can you raise me please? I should be raised to Dedicated. Thanks, everyone.
