lightning is not a weave, per se... it is the result of a weather controlling weave. Now, if the channeler created a weave of lightning, instead of inducing it from the clouds, it would not work on a gholam.

I don't really like Powerman5000, I just thought the name was clever.

Normal people frighten me. I've never heard of freinds or relatives of serial killers saying, "He was crazy, I knew he was going to snap sooner or later and start killing people". They always seem to say, "He was such a nice normal young man", etc. Atleast with crazy people, you know to watch your back!

Why u afraid of those puny fishing...sailing..ehm people. It's not like those Athan 'Miere can channel or smthn

So a wolfbrother is kinda like that bloke I saw the other day in the zoo tending the wolves?

Mat the Hornblower:

Dark clouds mass above a bloodstained battlefield. Hordes of trollocs are massing against all the combined power of the free nations armies. Ashaman bonded with Aes Sedai unleash hell above the killing fields while dreadlords and forsaken cause havoc amongst the ranks of aiel, armsmen and channelers alike. Overlooking this madness, Mat and Birgitte are about to give the hordes of the Dark One a final blow by calling on the heroes of the old age. Putting the Horn of Valere to his mouth, Mat draws a deap breath and blows......Birgitte, looking at Mat in amazement, sees him reddening, the veins in his neck pulsing as he tries to blow the horn with all strength that is left in him. Its only result is an almost insulting ululating sqeaky sound. Removing the horn from his lips, Mat looking for breath curses "what the hell.....". Suddenly, Birgitte starts laughing, tears streaming over her cheeks, unable to speak....When she finally gets over het fit of laughter, with only some chuckling remaining, Mat looks at Birgitte with a mixture of astonishment, anger and curiosity with a question burning in his eyes. "What the hell are you laughing about?" Trying not to laugh, Birgitte answers. "Well, you remember last night at camp, me doing the laundry, hanging it to dry. Well, this morning in all the rush to get to Tarmon Gai'don, I kinda in my haste stuffed my still wet laundry into the horn, cause if I'd put it in my bag, my other clothes would get wet too........sorry" Birgitte, again bursting out in laughter, didn't see the horn coming her way thrown with a savage scream by Mat. And that is how Birgitte missed Tarmon Gai'don.

I personally haven't red the books, but I have played the game. I distinctly remembered my character, a wise cracking armsmen, being totally ownzed by a group of aiel for saying something along the lines of "Geez, you guys are still mad about that? It was just a stupid tree, get over it..."

I was refering to the tree that the aiel geve this one country that turned it into a chair. Apparently they were still royally p'oed about that. This story is probably somewhat innacurate, though...

I am a n00b, after all [Razz]

Read it again the wall fell on him when the lightning hit it

" Ogier love trees right, then how come they didn’t go to war over Laman’s Sin."

"Channeling the source that turns the wheel of time. So aren’t they draining it? What do we do then?"

"The Dark one is dead I saw him die at Falme killed by the dragon reborn, I even heard the Horn of Valkiries, the Dark one is dead I tell you. Shiatan, Shiatan Shaitan. Isn't that supposed to be Sata..(character drops dead)"

"Callandor It can't be touched, and it's not even a real sword. What good is it?"

"Don't you mean Tavern, yea it attracts a lot of people and strange things do happen there, Yeah there is dice there too"

"The Lord of the Lakes was here, flaming coward should raise the banners"

"There is no river that enough earth couldn't dam or enough fire evaporate, nor is there a wind so strong that an earthen wall cannot deflect or a hot enough fire fend off its chill."

Mat's died more times than any other character. Rahvin, the darkhounds...

Come to think of it, that's probably what the prophecy meant.

From a power gamer (the same power gamer):

I'm going to carve dragons on my quarterstaff (should have let him, would have been kinda funny a year later)

I'm going to have a metal worker etch a design into my blade (one of the sigils from Vampire, looked kinda like a dragon fang, if you squinted [Roll Eyes] )

Where can I find a spell book (from 4 guys, all the times, I've lost track of how many times I've told them that there are no spell books)

No, I will not play a female. Whats so bad about being a male channeler?

Studies have shown that 1 in 4 people in this country need psychological help. And of these, 1 in 10 of them is violently hostile. These are the ones who go into schools and just open up on people. So, about 1 in 40... There are about 60 people on the roll for this class, and I have the best viewpoint of all of you. If I suddenly stop the lecture and dive under the podium, it might be in your best interest to do the same...

Ogre? KILL IT!

What do you mean the innkeeper doesn't believe in Trollocs? I thought they were just Orcs?

Shaitan? Is that like a sultan? I tell the guy in white 'of course'.

Four guys in white about to ambush a guy in black? I join them, and help!

Of course hes a false dragon. Hes 6 feet tall, what kind of dragon is that short?

So this logain guy is being guarded by 13 Aes Sedai and about a thousand Pikeman, and will be here in four days? Hmm.. Where can I buy shovels, ignition cord, and illuminator's rockets?
*That one isn't so much a 'WoT newbie' as a 'holy hell did he actually figure out how to free logain?' It didn't help that he was actually once part of the illuminator's guild.*

My newb player said this in today's game.

"Why are those guys running from us. He just cast fireball at the trollocs and saved thier lives, they could show a little gratidue, Man your GMing them like they never saw a man cast fireball before. This is a world that has magic in it. Peaseants should be used to this stuff by now."
