  1. And the rest is history with all these peeps coming back to play with you. (giggitty)
  2. I have never heard such a wolfy suggestion. Obvious ploy. I really am, lol, in the Shayol Ghul org. Unfortunately activity remains an issue (as in there is none whatsoever at the moment) , but it is good to take a stand against the puny humans of the other factions and show one's devotion to Lily, the Dark One herself.
  3. Since Z isn't playing, who is going to start the fake-but-not-fake argument on D1 now?
  4. It was the most awesome show ever. And the theme song! But I'll let you get back to your serious discussion. I know nothing about anime, sawwy.
  5. Obviously, Dogtanian and the Muskahounds... ...I'll get my coat.
  6. 5 investigate the humming Spirit shard in the well again. Someone threw it in there for a reason...but it does help our little Flickerling, so...
  7. Saddlesore
  8. I think we cannot avoid the well. It is our destiny to fall down it.
  9. Whether someone enjoys the show or not does not come down to a discussion of fine details. We can discuss such things as the appearance of the special effects and that is totally different from whether you enjoy it or not. To try to give an example, I recently was looking up the first description of Berelain for a sketch I was going to do (which was a disaster, sadly) and she first appears in the final paragraphs of tDR. She turns up with a letter from Lanfear for Moiraine. Now Moiraine is a political expert, surely knows that Berelain is in the Stone, surely knows her general description, Berelain is a most remarkable figure, and she is wearing the actual coronet of the First of Mayene. And Moiraine asks her "and who are you, child?" I feel a lot of the criticisms of the show are like taking this and then saying "see? This is objectively bad writing, which means Jordan is a bad writer, which means the books should be taken off the shelves and deleted from ebook libraries."
  10. Of course we all have our own opinions. I'm not dismissing something because it is subjective, merely pointing that out. What I mean is the difference between actively wanting the show cancelled and not liking it yourself. Especially if you anchor that desire for it to be cancelled on how much you love the books. Because why is that more important than people who also love the books and are enjoying the show? It seems to me to be the opposite of agreeing to disagree, if you see what I mean. I'm not undermining your opinion of the show or questioning your love of the books, I'm only pointing out they are not more valid than any other fan.
  11. It is worse when you live in the Netherlands and your kids swear with a pronounced Scottish accent. Makes the claim "I have no idea where they heard that" more difficult to pull off plausibly.
  12. Good question. But I think slightly twisting the situation with the juxtaposition. I'm not that familiar with the programmes you are referring to, but say for example, if you thought Jerry Springer should have been cancelled as it was exploitative, that has nothing to do with another's enjoyment. Focusing on the Wheel of Time, wanting it to be cancelled because it is not good enough relative the source is a subjective call. To take your own opinion as objective truth because you love the source material, yet ignore the opinion of others who also love the source material seems slightly hypocritical. Of course in material terms,, wanting/hoping for it to be cancelled and not caring if it is or not makes little difference, but it seems to be something of a destroyer of the sense of community, if fans only respect other fans who share their viewpoints.
  13. I'd say no, as it prioritises your own opinions and feelings over that other fans who equally love the work. You hoping the show gets cancelled is similar if I were to hope you hate the show. You want something to be taken away from the fans of the Wheel of Time, because you seem to think that only your opinion of the show is valid. If I am not mistaken, you have literally said you are only here to try to convince people of how bad the show is - you think people that like the show are wrong and mistaken, not that they have a different opinion than you.
  14. If your spirit is Heavy... I feel unfairly spoken to there, lol.
  15. Look around? Maybe something interesting will happen.
  16. I just hope I have greener virtual thumbs than in real life.
  17. Well done! Yay for Ithi! I was going to say let's get the mistyleaf now but I think maybe you girls had a planned use for the well-earned gold mark?
  18. Aww, that is such a shame. All that effort you put into it, Ithi. It is amazing it was doing so well.
