Re: No, no it doesn't. Nameless Ashaman Send a noteboard - 08/12/2009 04:41:42 PM
But it isn't tiny and the point wasn't whether it mattered or not but if it constituted as a gap at all..which it clearly does. Or if it could really work with the wording of the Oaths. So no it doesn't matter because the Oath is a joke to begin with but whats your point?

No, it clearly doesn't.

Sarcasm is not intent to lie. If the AS believes the actual meaning of what is being said is clear to everyone, then she can say it. That is consistent with how the oaths have worked throughout the entire series.

This is a really silly topic to have spawned so much argument. That's my point.

I disagree darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:51:27 PM 1097 Views
RJ has said they're allowed to be sarcastic TheCrownless - 06/12/2009 07:07:32 PM 1054 Views
How does that jive with the Oaths? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:13:21 PM 1104 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 511 Views

The Oaths focus on INTENT beetnemesis - 06/12/2009 10:01:27 PM 1081 Views
None of what you describe is an Oath ingrained into your bones. darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 01:52:49 AM 921 Views
It's ENTIRELY about self-rationalization Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 03:59:00 AM 898 Views
^This. *NM* Nate - 07/12/2009 08:23:27 AM 514 Views
Because it isn't a lie DomA - 06/12/2009 07:44:29 PM 1082 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 1063 Views
Verin didn't say it sarcastically. Darth_Katie - 06/12/2009 08:11:31 PM 887 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 856 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 929 Views
sarcasm is sarcasm. In both instances their is technically a lie. Onarishma - 07/12/2009 11:28:02 PM 876 Views
Not at all the case darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 11:58:42 PM 960 Views
Do you really believe he waited till the last minute to tell Seonid? Onarishma - 14/12/2009 01:32:37 PM 1030 Views
That's the whole point of her being able to say what she did! darius_sedai - 14/12/2009 04:05:24 PM 817 Views
What about the Sheriam thing? Legolas - 07/12/2009 01:49:32 PM 950 Views
Re: What about the Sheriam thing? DomA - 07/12/2009 02:15:25 PM 823 Views
But surely an Aes Sedai can answer a question she hasn't fully heard yet. Legolas - 07/12/2009 03:06:34 PM 1064 Views
I actually don't take it as proof. Nameless Ashaman - 07/12/2009 09:00:58 PM 883 Views
Yeah, I thought about that possibility too... Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:21:16 PM 1180 Views

It's obviously meant to be sarcasm, I just don't like darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:18:40 PM 899 Views
Here is what RJ said about it Etzel - 06/12/2009 07:41:18 PM 1046 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 453 Views

Agreed. johnnymack - 07/12/2009 01:45:39 AM 864 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 889 Views

what do you think a RL lie detector would tell in this case? redhand - 07/12/2009 12:27:07 PM 832 Views
in RL you would get warned by the investigator to cooperate AgentOrange - 07/12/2009 01:04:33 PM 862 Views
But how would the machine reading indicate? redhand - 07/12/2009 07:04:22 PM 863 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 903 Views
Where's the problem? Shadowkiller - 09/12/2009 04:18:40 PM 812 Views
