Some More Fun Things to do in Randland

1. Sneak into Nyn's room at night and cut her braid completely off.

2. Start a Bela-worshipping cult (unless you already have...)

3. Have a seance, pretend to be the ghost of Herid Fel, and tell Rand that the only way to destroy the taint is to kill Nyn. And Faile. And possibly Siuan and Leane as well.

4. Spread rumours that Loial is actually a Trolloc spy.

5. Dye your hair blonde, paint a bow silver and claim that "Birgitte" is really your evil twin.

6. Channel randomly into the bowl of winds. Be as creative as possible.

7. Start your own Ajah. eg the Pink Ajah, dedicated to killing Faile, the Orange Ajah, whose aim is to help the peasants of Andor plan a communist revolution, or the Silver Ajah, a mysterious new sect which involves worshipping the moon and dancing naked around a fire.

8. Travel around a lot. Change your name to Jain Farstrider.

9. Steal the avendesora leaf off as many Waygates as you can find.

10. Carve your own designs into a portal stone and see what happens when you channel at it.

11. Go into business selling adam as designer accessories.

12. Switch the plans for Elaida's tower with the blueprints for the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

13. Pretend to be a psychiatrist. Diagnose the entire Whitecloak army with depressive paranoia and institutionalise them. All of them.

14. Compile a book of Lini's sayings, publish it, and then sue her for copyright infringement if she tries to use any of them herself.

15. Find a way to travel through time using T'A'R, portal stones, or whatever else you can come up with, find out what happens at Tarmon Gaidon, come back to the time period at the end of POD, sneak into Rand's audience chamber claiming to be some cousin/half-sister/great-grandfather (the family tree's so screwed, it's not as if anyone'll notice), and have an in-depth conversation with him which you incidentally reveal what happens in the subsequent 57 books so it all gets printed in WH and we don't have to wait 40 years before we actually know how everything ends up.
