Killed in a duel, not killed in a civil war battle. I'm assuming duels are like untimed downs in football; i.e. they happen in the same kind of quasi-real time that the discussions in the Council happen.

I tend to agree with you on point #3, but it isn't spelled out in the rules that an emergency session is necessarily different from a regular council session so I figured I should ask.

We live in interesting times, that's for sure. I hope the guys who let their characters lapse realize what they're missing. We might well end up in two (or more) wars, during a crusade, all happening around a civil war!

I'm going to give OK a chance to respond before Louis considers the compromise proposed in the Council. It hardly seems fair to challenge him and then back off and be reasonable before he has some OOC time to get a word in edgewise.
