None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM
the problem I have is that the Oaths are supposedly ingrained into the very being of the person who swears on the Oath Rod. If was as easy as what you are all describing to lie, then AS would be full of crap all the time.

I'm saying that an Oath on the Rod should make it impossible for an AS to even casually lie in the form of sarcasm, unless she is also saying true statements.

IMO the Oath is even more useless if an AS can just decide in her mind that her words aren't intended to be lies then she can say whatever the hell she wants. Intent alone does not make her words the truth.

How does that jive with the Oaths? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:13:21 PM 970 Views
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 447 Views

Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 930 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 920 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 767 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 729 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 789 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 749 Views
Not at all the case darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM 837 Views
Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 915 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 689 Views

But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 879 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 765 Views

Here is what RJ said about it Etzel - 06/12/2009 07:41:18 PM 916 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 714 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 735 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 744 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 769 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 670 Views
