How many cities do you think Roland had trouble in before Tull? *end/series spoilers*

[razz]

Tull, and Eluria, and Even Mejis has Roland entered and gone through similar business. It took him 20 years to go from Gilead to The Great Sea, so undoubtedly, he stopped in towns. What I wonder is how many do you think he got into gunfights with, how many did Walter lay traps in, and how many did he just walk on through?


EDITED BY ~maerlyn:

razz: I just put this thread to ask if you think Tull was the trap Walter set, or if Eluria was the only dangerous city, which i highly doubt.

[jayson]

19?

[razz]

sorry, i was gonna add a poll.

[Daghain]

Could you fix your spelling in the title too, please? Thanks.

[Brice]

Yes, please. It made me

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh for gan's sake. not another freakin' poll.

[sarah]

I edited the title. Let me know if you want something different, Razz.

[MonteGss]

oh for gan's sake. not another freakin' poll.

I was almost thinking the same thing.

[sarah]

oh you both love polls and you know it.

I'll start five more polls this very minute if you or anyone has a bad attitude.

Just few.
I don't think muhc happened in them.
Drinking.
Eating.
Sleeping.

And keep going of course.

I'm going to edit that into your first post, razz.

can we have a poll about having a poll about having a poll?

okay, double post - so shoot me.

back on topic turtle, back on topic. i think any city roland went through was potentially dangerous for him, simply because he was going through it and the red would do anything to keep him from reaching his goal.

even if walter hadn't set a trap in tull, i think something else would've happened to make it dangerous for him (and no, that doesn't change my opinion about what happened there one tiny damn bit!). lud was dangerous for everyone, the calla was dangerous, thunderclap was dangerous, hell even new york was dangerous.

i think the answer to your titled question "how may cities do you think roland wnet through before tull" is probably delah. it's possible that he doesn't even know how many he went through because time and the territory was expanding and contracting all around him.

River crossing was probably dangerous too. they just got lucky and missed the trouble

[The Lady of Shadows]

i don't know. i kind of wonder if river crossing wasn't somehow protected.

sorry, i was gonna add a poll.

what poll? I can add one for you if you tell me what options you want included there

I personally have nothing against polls, so whoever wants one can ask the bear

[sarah]

well we all know how much I love a good poll. post it or pm it to me or the bear and we'll geter done

[sarah]

bump!

poll added.

[sarah]

would you mind if I added a "I don't know" to the options?

[sarah]

Honestly, I couldn't guess. It makes me sad enough that Roland has been doing it over and over and will still do it again, that I couldn't know what number his next quest would be.

[razz]

thanx maerlyn

[Brice]

well we all know how much I love a good poll.

truer words have never been

[LadyHitchhiker]

I LOV POLOLS!!! I can't even spell. What I meant it I LOVE POLLS!

I wrote delah. Never know how many times he looped, and he can't remember everything so knowing his talent for trouble I voted delah

[The Lady of Shadows]

okay, so now the topic has changed. now it's how many cities did roland have trouble in before tull. but my answer remains the same. delah. i think he had trouble everywhere he went - a perfect example would be mejis. his father sent him there to get him out of trouble's path. but damn if trouble wasn't there waiting for him.

i think his very nature drew him to trouble. or drew trouble to him. but maybe, in the end, that means the same thing. i don't think it was trouble on the scale of mejis, or the calla, or blue heaven (i know the latter two were after tull), but trouble nonetheless. perhaps that was part of being a gunslinger - ending up in places where trouble was, whether the trouble was known or not.
