Re: How does that jive with the Oaths? DomA Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 07:57:10 PM
If she had said she hadn't noticed outright without any sarcasm then it would be more debatable.


Her statement, sacrastic or not is still a lie... how does this not violate the 1st Oath?

aslong as they know they aren't decieving anyone.


The oath reads "To speak no word that is not true"

And is New Spring Siuan was stopped from saying something about how hard her work was to Moiraine, despite the fact that she would not have been deceiving Moiraine with her words... doesn't seem consistent to me!


It doesn't matter that Moiraine would not have been fooled by the lie, Siuan's intent was what counted, and she was trying to say something she didn't believe was true.

Good point, but in that same book Tamra said that Gitara didn't say anything before dying *NM* Deadsy - 06/12/2009 07:53:31 PM 414 Views

None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM 725 Views

Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 868 Views
I understand this, I'm not arguing that an AS should not be able to be sarcastic darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:08:15 PM 860 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 705 Views

The sarcasm was for him repeating himself to her. The "remember" is the part she's refering to. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 10:15:06 AM 664 Views
That's why I think this example of sarcasm works as opposed to Cadsuane who makes a false statement darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 03:17:52 PM 723 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 682 Views
Not at all the case darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM 771 Views
Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 831 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 622 Views

But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 807 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 705 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 648 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 694 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 678 Views
Usually you're s'possed to answer with a yes or no. It's easy to tell when you're evasive AgentOrange - 09/12/2009 10:46:58 PM 704 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 609 Views
