During "The Gathering Storm" and also in "Knife of Dreams", Rand spends
a lot of time and effort trying to bring stability to Arad Doman. He
drafts a large Sea Folk fleet to bring food to that nation, and has
members of the Merchant Council kidnapped so that they can elect a new
king.

Page 657 in chapter 42: All of the food brought by the Sea Folk, and the
food already in Bandar Eban, spoils in an instant, just as Rand is about
to leave. A totally frustrated Rand throws up his remaining hand and
leaves, saying there's nothing more he can do. I have a way to save
Arad Doman from starvation: Use the OP to draw fish out of the sea!

How? You'd have to grab them with Air, which would be about as
difficult as spearing them with an arrow.

I guess you could lift a big wodge of water out using Water, and then
dump it through a net. This would be about as difficult as running a
drag-net behind a Sea Folk ship.

In fact, this is what the Sea Folk should be doing, since Travelling
makes their boats fuck-all useless for anything else.

Also, I give big props to Sanderson for making Travelling finally seem
almost as useful as it would really be.

Use the OP to move water horizontally through a net.

That's way more effort than using a Gateway or a boat.

I propose that the Sea Folk Windfinders project a Traveling Gateway in
front of a ship, and have that ship sail right through it.

Why didn't Rand tell his Asha'man to make Gateways to take the food of
Tear and Illian through?

Could Elayne create a Gateway ter'angreal in the shape of a large ring?

I propose that an asha'man stands on a block of Air somewhere out in
the middle of the ocean and opens a Gateway just below the surface,
leading somewhere pre-arranged (also on the ocean, or fuck it, in a
desert somewhere). The destination-area has a drag net around it so
all the water just flows through it, fish and all.

Then the asha'man closes the Gateways and they tie up the net and go
home with all the fish, stopping long enough to pick out a
particularly large and smelly one to smack the nearest Sea Folk
representative in the face with it and tell him or her that he or she
is useless and annoying.

How does that sound?

God only knows. Probably something to do with people not liking the
One Power, or the food going bad, or Rand not giving a crap. Or not
thinking of it.

> Could Elayne create a Gateway ter'angreal in the shape of a large ring?

With chevrons around the edges?

Or.... someone pulls a Moiraine and just asks all the fish to jump out
of the water for them.

Or does no one else remember that particular part?

I don't remember Moiraine ever being pulled.

Although Thom seems to have a thing for her. I'm not sure where and
why that happened.

Seriously though, when did Thom and Moiraine start to have a thing?

I was referring to Moiraine "tickling" a bunch of fish with ease, in
EotW I believe.

That's the first thing Rand should have Moiraine do after Thom, Mat, and a
still unknown 3rd man rescue her: Go to Bandar Eban and ask all the fish to
jump out.

You've never seen a tall ship in person?

It wouldn't surprise me that a full circle of 13 bitches couldn't open
one large enough.

Lets try a circle of 37 women and 35 men!

...You do know that "proposing" doesn't actually DO anything towards changing
what got written in the series, right? If you want to write fanfic about it,
write the fanfic. Don't act like you're standing up at a writer's meeting
and declaiming about How To Solve This Obviously Difficult Problem What The
Writer Never Said Anything About.

Can't. One of the Glossaries says there's a strict limit on how many men
can get put into even the Very Large Circles, if I remember right.

The World of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel Of Time": PP 23-24: The
maximum possible circle is 72, gender balanced circles are the
strongest, and there must generally be more women then men. Thus, the
strongest circle consists of 37 women and 35 men.

Yes, It's a coven, that timmette will always try proposals, gets turned down

Oh, not you. TB has this really irritating habit of Declaiming Really Obvious
Solutions To Issues That Arose In A Work Of Fiction Which The Author Did Not
Say Enough About To TB's Satisfaction, and phrasing them like he's standing
at the author's elbow saying "THERE! You need to put THAT THERE!" back when
the book was being written. Even for books that are by now decades old, or
by dead dead deaddity dead authors.

It's probably not so bad the first time you encounter it, but he _just keeps
doing it_.

Aw. But I was just as guilty, admittedly not as persistently and
thoroughly as Mr. Bruening. Still, I have to admire his stamina. I
suspected he was a bot once upon a time, but now I'm not sure. He's
extremely sophisticated. Maybe some sort of experimental AI let loose
on the web?

I suppose my own proposals in this context were related (as you say)
to possible fan fiction ideas (and not just my own), but I suppose
there's no harm in saying things in the hope that the current author
might somehow pick up on them.

Or, worst case scenario, a bit of harmless roleplaying at holding some
sort of Wheel of Time Creators' Board Meeting, in which executives
(like myself and Tim) make amazing proposals and the tea boy (Robert
E) brings us tea and crumpets.

Well, Brandon Sanderson isn't dead yet! He's still got years ahead of
him! And if he does a good job on the Wheel of Time (as I think he has
so far), I may even check out some of his actual works.
