The White Tower & Warders

We will also do activeties conected to these The first one we already had a sign up for, and we have the following contestants for our bingo'esque (yes i found a newish word sort of ...'esque..get used to it) game which will run throughout the event.

Those of you who have been around a while know that the Brown Ajah hosts a travel event every year. Well, this year we decided to have a combined travel and Olympics event! During the entire month of August there will be discussions about the Olympics as well as discussions about travelling in the UK and London. You will also be able to participate in a tetrathlon: four different games over the course of four weeks. The overall winner gets a gold medal (signature)! We are also bringing back the fun game “Where in the World is the Brown Ajah?”. Will you be able to guess the two locations that the Brown Ajah - accidentally or not - travel (or should that be Travel…

As heralded by the opening ceremony of the Brown Ajah's Travel & Olympics Month, here is the very first game of the tetrathlon - Guess the Pictures! In this game, participants can guess the identity of one blurred picture posted by the mod that will be of a famous place or thing in or around London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. The first participant to guess the correct identity of the object shown will earn one point - the person who gets the most correct answers by the end of the game will earn themselves a gold medal - worth 4 game points - which will go towards deciding the overall winner of the tetrathlon at the end of the month. Second place shall ea…

This is on of the best doll-makers I have ever found. It is made from the TV series "The Tudors", so the age is very fitting for WoT-avatars. Best thing is, it has both male and female! http://www.dolldivin...scene-maker.php I have made almost all the chars with this... And of course several personal ones. So... Show us yours!

To recap: Misheru started a thread, Create your own Aes Sedai or Warder Avatar, which inspired this competition. Here's how it works: I will start a thread for a character, and we all make avatars for them, using this application (or any other you want): http://www.dolldivine.com/ You can make as many of each character as you want, and post them in this thread. They MUST be your own work fully made in one of the doll divine apps, though, not a picture you found somewhere or photoshopped. Please don't post them straight from Doll Divine to here - they tend to disappear. Rather save them to your computer or directly to photobucket (right click on your picture, …

I posed this question on my other WoT home, and got some pretty interesting answers. But I wanted to run this by you guys, too, since you're my WoT home, too. The question is... Can channelers see weaves and other products of channeling (the glow of Saidar) through reflections in a mirror? I can't find any situation in the books where channelers even looked in a mirror while channeling, but I know they have mirrors. And this is probably a completely frivolous question, but it's one that's been eating me up. So...what do you think?

Howd they pull it off?

With the exception of the mafia, have been moved to the Blue Ajah at the request of Dar. Thanks. F

I have saved a rather large image to my desktop. When I open it in any program it opens it scaled down, or zoomed out or something and you cant read the writing. I dont want that. I have tried zooming in and saving that didnt work. I resized it as well, and saved, but when i open it in gimp it just opens it scaled out even further. The thing is when i upload it online it uploads this zoomed out version. Its really peeing me off to put it politely. Help?

I'm planning something, and I'd like your help. So, let's say the White Tower has a Varsity Sports team. What do you think they'd call themselves and use for a mascot? (careful, this'll probably end up in the Humor Blog at several points in the future) I'll go with probably two teams, actually. One a Warder and one an Aes Sedai, although I'm looking mainly for ideas for the Aes Sedai team right now. So Far Team Names Flames Ducks and Geese Warders Servants of Ball The Meddlers _specifically linked to the mascot of a puppetmaster_ Mascots Novice Rainbow striped horse Hawk

So for the upcoming olympic event the Me'areath will run a contest of who can best guess the potential of different contestants in the battle related genres. Which means if you want to enter you have to sign up before the olympics start, you do so by submiting contestants according to the list in the form, and guess their placement. This means you dont have to guess who wins, but rather how you think your contestant will do. The form can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHFwVnlNcUZxU0haaDh3Yzd6cGtVQ3c6MQ#gid=0 So say for category archery i choose mr.smith, I think he will place 23rd, and miss jones, who i think will place 15t…

I'm sending the entire Tower on vacation. That means Aes Sedai, their Warders, and the Aspies all go!

These flowers just came up through the paving and stone paths in our back yard. We have no idea how the seeds got there! The paving has been there for a number of years (about 4 or 5?). Here's the link to the album in my photobucket, if you want to see more: http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/Elgee_01/Namakwaland%20in%20the%20backyard/

...I find myself perusing old DM forum threads. What's up with that?!?! I know it has been a while since I was last here, but Eadon (old Greenie, not sure if she has posted yet since rediscovering her DM login :D) started a 'thread' on Facebook about how she was getting all nostalgic, and that made me figure I should probably stop in for my annual "hi", so here I am. Also, I am at home 'cause I've got a little cold, and my usual cold fixing remedy is a combo of red wine, scotch and orange juice. Not at the same time, but one after the other, you see? I am feeling a bit fuzzy from all the red wine, I have to say. But it tastes way better than the scotch! And for or…

Because of moving, and lack of internet, I will be on LOA for probably 3-4 weeks, until we can get the internet hooked up (after i get my first paycheck and can afford it). There MIGHT be a couple of places to get free wifi, but since I have never been there, i will not know until I get there. Please watch after my mintee, and my bonded. Key (aka EM) will be my liason between me and my bonded, to let you know that the 1,200 mile trip was made safely.... and when I get the official job offer... just FYI for those that didnt know.

Oh Sunshiiiiiinnneeeee ... Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while…
