Aes Sedai could offer to Bond people as a marriage ritual.

Already know from Aiel first sisters (nearly the same), and from Min's Bond
to Rand, that it's possible.

Perhaps the Aiel weave would be better for some, since it won't affect the
other person if you die (or will it?).

Speaking of marriage, I saw this skit on a Comedy Central Saturday
Night Live rerun last weekend, my wife came in at the end of it and
was not nearly as amused as I:
http://snltranscripts.jt.org/98/98hjoys.phtml

This is from the same SNL that had the epic
"bitch-better-have-my-money-dot-com" pimpin' skit with Vince Vaughn.
Man, when VV is on there's none funnier (Swingers, Old School, that
SNL), I really wish I could forget Psycho and Made.

AS can bond men, and Asha'man can bond women. What would happen if an AS and
an Asha'man bonded eachother?

Enough said, you can read about these characters in some books I heard

Your missing the point. Bruening was asking about bonding each other.
In every case you mentioned, the bond only goes one way, i.e., Rand has
not bonded Elayne, Min, or Avi.

Sorry, my bad for misunderstanding. However I think the bond does go two
ways, since no matter who does the bonding, the two or more peple involved
feel each other's emotion and general whereabouts and stuff. The only
difference in who does the bonding is that he/she decides what the bond is
capable of. Therefor I think and extra bond the other way will add nothing
significant, unles the purposes of the bonds are different.

I still think that you are missing the point.

In the typical Aes Sedai -- Warder Bond, the Aes Sedai can 'compel'
the Warder, but he can not do the same, regardless if he is a
channeler or not. -- Exception: Rand.

In the typical Asha'man Bond, there is no compulsion.

In the Asha'man Bond with the Extra Bit, there is Automatic
Compulsion, but the reverse is not -- regardless if the recipient was
a wife or a captive Aes Sedai.

Now, the question is: What would happen if as Aes Sedai Bonded an
Asha'man, and he bonded her with the Extra Bit? Who gets to compel
whom? Do they cancel out?

Except possibly by analogy they may be able to do the nonautomatic
compulsion the same as Aes Sedai. But if they can there is no evidence
they know about it.

My suspicion is he had best tell her not to use the bond to compel him
before she compells him not to give her orders.

Assuming your sympathy lies with him.

It is however as yet undetermined what happens.

Maybe the weave excludes the possibility, it makes the bondee unable
to complete the weave on the bonder. Rand could have turned around and
bonded whoever-the-fuck, if he'd been able to.

The second either of them came within half a mile of a Trolloc, the

I wonder if Aes Sedai can bond each other? Or does it always have to
be a channeler bonding a non-channeler?

I'm pretty sure there have been lots of AM bonding AS and vice versa in
the most recent books, but no refs at the moment.

Sorry, yes. When I said "I wonder if Aes Sedai can bond each other?" I
meant female Aes Sedai as opposed to male Asha'man.

But you're right. We have cases of male channeler bonding female and
vice versa, as well as female channeler bonding female non-channeler
(Birgitte), and even the sort of grey areas like Min "bonding" Rand.
So I guess basically anything goes.

Sorry for this late post, but it was NOT Min that bonded Rand as her
Warder. Rather, and this is stated flatly in WH, it was Elayne and Avi
(both channelers) which bonded Rand as their collective Warder and
included Min in the collective bond. As Min can't channel, she couldn't
have bonded Rand on her own.

Don't see why not, since Aes Sedai can bond female and male
non-channelers and male channelers, and Asha'man can bond female

Aes Sedai could offer to Bond people as a marriage ritual.
In order to reduce the risk of divorce? I don't remember if divorce is legal in Randland.
Holy decade-old post, Batman!
How did that happen?!

T*m Br**n*ng does that. He assumes everyone else on Usenet is blithely reading
through the entire archives too and that they're all interested in everything
he finds interesting, including questions about why things didn't go
differently in published works.

To answer the question, I don't recall divorce ever being mentioned.
No real reference to it re: other wedding traditions, like the wedding
knives. Seems you're more likely to lose a spouse to sudden and
senseless violence before you have time to drift apart as people.

And anyway, "drifting apart as people" requires a bit more character
development than this series would seem to be capable of. So divorce
may not actually be possible according to the laws o' physics.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. And we're not likely to find
many new discussion points after this final rush. And I got a chance
to make a quality gag about character development there.

And why are you censoring Tim's name exactly?

Oh, fair enough. But you did ask.

Because I've had enough encounters with him over the last couple decades, all
of which follow approximately this pattern (and the 'then he goes silent,
completely, for several months only to pop up out of the blue again one day'
thing) that I'm mentally associating him with some of the Great Old Loons where
mentioning their name un-modified got you a visit from them, which was usually
something one wanted to avoid. It's just me, it's not What You Do When
Confronted With Tim or anything.

(And yeah, there's several things I'd like to get followup stories or novels on
in the series myself, but I'm aware that it's almost certainly not gonna happen
and speculating will be FUN, but not canon. And speculating on why Incredibly
Obvious-Level Idea wasn't used where the books did a particular thing has never
really been my thing anyway...)

Unfortunately, by now I'd want to do a reread of the series before contributing
to the post-windup roundup. Fortunately, it wouldn't take all that long.
Unfortunately, I've got other things on my plate to do first...

I see. So, a sort of veiled and implied insult. Or possibly
compliment! I never quite reached the level where people did that with
my glorious name, more's the pity.

Yeah, I was halfway through a re-read myself. Well, actually I *did*
do the re-read. What I was halfway through was posting all my
findings, book-by-book, to the newsgroup. That effort died around book
seven, as I entered the mid-series doldrums. And, y'know, got cancer
of the rectum.

Seems all very odd! I guess it's nice to have a bit of nostalgia, but
it's a strange way to go about a discussion!
