Re: Yes, she did state it. DomA Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 01:39:07 AM
That didn't matter to the binder.

She didn't state that Gitara died without saying anything, she told two people who were there to lie, and which lie to tell.

She could not say that as a statement, but as instructions she could.

Intent and result.



That's the point, that she did state it. Aes Sedai can state things as long as you're not trying to trick someone, according to RJ.

There was a huge argument about this when NS was released

"You will tell no one about this, not for any reason. If necessary, lie. Even to a sister. Gitara died without speaking. Do you understand me?"


We're saying the same thing then. By "statement" I meant her making the affirmation that Gitara died without speaking. She didn't do that, she was merely telling people who knew how Gitara died how she wanted them to lie about it.

How does that jive with the Oaths? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:13:21 PM 1033 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 475 Views

None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM 856 Views
It's ENTIRELY about self-rationalization Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 03:59:00 AM 836 Views

Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 995 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 978 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 822 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 790 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 860 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 807 Views
Not at all the case darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM 898 Views
Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 973 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 751 Views
What about the Sheriam thing? Legolas - 07/12/2009 01:49:32 PM 888 Views
Re: What about the Sheriam thing? DomA - 07/12/2009 02:15:25 PM 763 Views
But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 1001 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 823 Views

Here is what RJ said about it Etzel - 06/12/2009 07:41:18 PM 976 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 421 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 774 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 795 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 803 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 834 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 727 Views
