Re: Cadsuane lies! joepo Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 06:18:39 PM
Not sure it this has been discussed yet, but Cadsuane tells a clear lie

tGS
A Promise to Lews Therin

"There are Aiel in the city, Lady," Quillin said, scrubbing at an invisible spot on the tabletop.

She gave him a flat stare. "I hadn't noticed."

I think Sanderson probably just took sarcasm too far to be honest, but there doesn't seem to be wriggle room in the oaths for this kind of statement...


I can't remember where it's from, but Jordan said that the Three Oaths don't limit sarcasm or things of that nature. She doesn't believe she's lying, so she is able to do so. I'll try to dig up that interview.

Sarcasm is one thing Ryan - 06/12/2009 06:43:12 PM 1179 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:51:27 PM 1137 Views
RJ has said they're allowed to be sarcastic TheCrownless - 06/12/2009 07:07:32 PM 1082 Views
How does that jive with the Oaths? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:13:21 PM 1145 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 526 Views

None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM 959 Views
It's ENTIRELY about self-rationalization Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 03:59:00 AM 927 Views
^This. *NM* Nate - 07/12/2009 08:23:27 AM 541 Views
Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 1119 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 1098 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 916 Views
Really? I never would have known that without you darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:39:56 PM 1029 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 897 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 965 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 910 Views
Not at all the case darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM 989 Views
Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 1078 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 853 Views
What about the Sheriam thing? Legolas - 07/12/2009 01:49:32 PM 991 Views
Re: What about the Sheriam thing? DomA - 07/12/2009 02:15:25 PM 868 Views
But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 1109 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 924 Views
Yeah, I thought about that possibility too... Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:21:16 PM 1216 Views
Sarcasm Sidious - 06/12/2009 07:14:47 PM 1142 Views
It's obviously meant to be sarcasm, I just don't like darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:18:40 PM 938 Views
Here is what RJ said about it Etzel - 06/12/2009 07:41:18 PM 1100 Views
Well I have to say I think RJ made the wrong call with this one *NM* darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:43:47 PM 469 Views
Like my momma used to say... Mat_Cauthon33 - 06/12/2009 11:27:22 PM 1000 Views
Your momma is a wise woman. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2009 03:14:27 PM 897 Views
Agreed. johnnymack - 07/12/2009 01:45:39 AM 897 Views
You can already drive a truck through the oaths. Does this one additional tiny gap really matter? Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 04:07:16 AM 940 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 868 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 899 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 901 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 945 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 841 Views
It's in the way the Oath is worded darius_sedai - 09/12/2009 05:14:39 PM 906 Views
Re: It's in the way the Oath is worded Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 05:36:59 PM 908 Views
See the Cadsuane quote, but I'll give you another one darius_sedai - 09/12/2009 06:15:32 PM 1103 Views
PS You misread my original quote darius_sedai - 09/12/2009 11:00:56 PM 836 Views
You're so right. My fault. *NM* Shadowkiller - 10/12/2009 12:57:29 AM 846 Views

Completely agree darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 01:23:36 AM 947 Views
Why do you think she *had* noticed the Aiel? *NM* Lord Haart - 14/12/2009 02:02:24 PM 396 Views
because she arrived with Rand and dozens of Maidens, darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 01:02:43 AM 866 Views
