Forum:Pinestar messed up the time?

Okay. So there's been lots of topics about Pinestar... but the thing that most confuses him about me is how he muddled up the timeframe of before the series. Since we don't have a solid book to rely on (this may be cleared up when Bluestar's prophecy comes out) it's not very clear, but something seems to be not right. I'll explain it... (warning, very long post XD)

The time would make sense if Pinestar had left with some lives left(Saving some time for him to die, so the whole thing took less time), so Sunfall could become Sunstar, and then Bluefur became Bluestar. BUT... Pinestar said, "I have lived out eight lives in the forest, I will live my ninth as a kittypet." (or something along those lines.) Meaning, Sunfall was close to becoming leader anyways... Then he would have to lose all 9 lives, and Bluestar only had 3 left when Firepaw arrived. So, unless Sunstar or Bluestar had a freakishy fast life-losing streak, the timeline still doesn't make sense. Bluestar would have to be REALLY old... and Tigerclaw would be pretty old as well by that point, having lived through two leader's cycle of nine lives. (And leaders usually don't lose their lives fast, Tallstar stayed alive for a long time, as well as Firestar and Leopardstar...) So, Tigerstar and Bluestar would have to be as old as (or older than) some of the elders of the first series (Patchpelt, one-eye, etc.)... But then again, in the Bluestar's prophecy preview it was confirmed that Patchpelt is not only older than Bluestar, he was as old as Leopardfoot. Then shouldn't he have been dead by the time Firepaw arrived? No matter how you think about it, someone is too old in this situation... Some of this will probably make more sense once Bluestar's Prophecy comes out, as I said. Thanks to anyone who bothered to read my really long post.
