Not at all the case darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM
Seonid's comment is made right after Perrin had just told her all of the information. Her words are absolutely true, her intent was sarcastic.

Cadsuane's words were sarcastic, with truth as the intent.

I don't refuse to see anything, it's crystal clear what the intention of all of this is ... my argument is in the way the Oath is worded... not that AS shouldn't be capable of sarcasm...

For example:

If Siuan was unable to exaggerate her situation to someone who knew damn well that it was an exaggeration. If intent was the only thing that mattered she should have been able to do this just as easily as Cadsuane did.

IMO the Oath should still prevent an AS from wording sarcasm as outright lies... she should have been forced to say this in a different way, such as "Thank you for that keen observation"

I disagree darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:51:27 PM 1263 Views
RJ has said they're allowed to be sarcastic TheCrownless - 06/12/2009 07:07:32 PM 1217 Views
How does that jive with the Oaths? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:13:21 PM 1276 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 597 Views

The Oaths focus on INTENT beetnemesis - 06/12/2009 10:01:27 PM 1240 Views
None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM 1083 Views
It's ENTIRELY about self-rationalization Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 03:59:00 AM 1047 Views

Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 1273 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 1249 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 1039 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 1041 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 1098 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 1050 Views

Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 1217 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 1004 Views
What about the Sheriam thing? Legolas - 07/12/2009 01:49:32 PM 1142 Views

But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 1239 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 1058 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 1024 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 1054 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 1029 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 1090 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 963 Views
