That's not really good enough, though. Legolas Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 10:06:12 PM
Ishamael crafted these Oaths, and he probably holds the BA in as much contempt as he does the other Forsaken. Like the Dark One, he too looks for ambition and greed in his followers, and it is probably true that someone who had that would never betray the Dark One. Not at the price of death.

After all, if we're gonna go with "those people would never betray the Dark One", why make them take an oath at all? And knowing Moridin/Ishy and his love of deep schemes, it strikes me as unlikely that he'd leave a loophole that big unintentionally... it's just I really can't see any reason why he'd do it intentionally, except as a massively convenient plot device for Verin's revelations, which would be utterly lame.

So when do we start executing that FBI agents in the columbian drug cartel? redhand - 31/10/2009 04:51:08 PM 539 Views
You're confusing morality with legality, no? *NM* Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:56:55 PM 250 Views
depends what he does in that time I guess Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:28:04 PM 630 Views

Not tarnished at all, in my mind... Gher - 30/10/2009 05:16:43 PM 689 Views
Definitely. She was a double agent from the beginning. beetnemesis - 30/10/2009 06:31:26 PM 695 Views
That's the way I'm leaning... Gher - 30/10/2009 07:07:01 PM 624 Views

Verin has reached a point. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 03:56:44 AM 621 Views
I hope the Verin Memorial Statue™ spouts water from the ink smudge on her nose *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:25:46 AM 321 Views
Logically, it would be ink spouting from her pen in her hand. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 04:34:36 AM 549 Views
It should be animatronic Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:37:08 AM 580 Views

how did I miss that one? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:48:54 AM 321 Views
*shrugs* *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:19:03 AM 305 Views
That would look kind of gross I think *NM* Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:24:00 AM 281 Views
gross, or awesome? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:32:13 AM 302 Views
Come to think of it, it'd look like drippy snot. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:35:41 AM 254 Views
it should drip into a fountain full of animatronic Professor-looking birds teaching fish how to fly *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:42:10 AM 323 Views
With a flame above one hand, and a pen in the other. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:43:29 AM 275 Views
There need to be some sort of flashy lights representing her soul changing colors *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:45:03 AM 330 Views
Also, it must be cuendillar. Great Lord of Chaos - 01/11/2009 12:00:10 AM 606 Views

Alviarin voodoo doll? I can't come up with anything Verin related. *sniffle* *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:53:10 AM 315 Views

So how about that "last hour" part of her oath? Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:48:29 PM 618 Views
That's a really strange loophole, to be honest beetnemesis - 31/10/2009 05:04:25 PM 672 Views
