No I said I don't like it because 1) somebody could find him, 2) he could call out to somebody - if it's just so he calls out to Dorothy for help it would seem too mechanical and plotted out, 3) it seems like a number of given things could happen and if they do - Oz would need to go back out there with a new one. And to me it doesn't seem like a sensible risk. From how I see the character it doesn't make sense, from the way you see the character and you see things playing out in "your story" it might - it just doesn't align with how I see things playing out and thus I can't really see it happening. Because to me a year to Oscar presents a number of questions and too many possibilities that he'd risk getting it out there much sooner than a year. My common sense tells me -- too many possibilities, too many risks, if something happens he'll need to go out there again. My common sense tells me - it's better to make one risk rather than a possible two. I've also learned to follow my gut because it's gotten me where I am. But, with that said anyone else's gut might be just as good, it's just different.
Here is a point for all of what you were inquiring about in the quoted post above. I've already explained these, but here goes again:
1.Oz does not know when Dorothy is arriving specifically, so he gets the Scarecrow out ahead of time just to be safe.
2. Oz cannot afford to risk taking the scarecrow out there a few days upon Dorothy's arrival. Reason being, Dorothy is supposed to get there at the apex of Theodora's reign over Oz. When things are are their worse. Oz will be hidden away in his fortress by that time.
3.Since the sisters cannot direct interfere with each other's spells and Glinda is the one to give Scarecrow life with her magic, Theodora wouldn't be able to destroy or harm it.
4. The very reason that Oz makes the guide a scarecrow is because no one would ever suspect a scarecrow of being important. And if it's in the middle of nowhere like a cornfield would be, no one would be tempted to destroy it.
5. It's even possible that no one would ever cross that cornfield for the year or two that Scarecrow is there, since it's not like people in Oz are constantly going down the yellow brick road with cars and such.
6. Another reason why people wouldn't be traveling that yellow brick road? The roads are too dangerous and the people of Oz are afraid to travel them, due to Theodora's forces being out in full-force.
I just have too many ways to explain what you think does not make sense. I understand our difference in views, but to say my reasoning makes no sense is what I don't understand. It really does make sense.
