I did not see the 5 turn rule; given that, I think it's best to wait for Zim to sort all this out. It sounds like we have two deaths and three new or returning players to accommodate. That's quite a big job - best to do it properly.
I think the King could plausibly make that case.Because Nottingham and York were not ratified during the last Session, but Edict E1.10 has a wording sketchy enough that would make them both ratified along with London, since they all were used by William to hide in.
...
So Nottingham, York and London were all ratified prior to their capture by Edict E1.10! Am I right, or am I right?
My 2 cents: in the first instance, decide IC about validity, with OOC decisionmaking (appeal to the GM) as a backup. For example, in the case of Nottingham and York, the King has an arguable case and so dealing with that IC seems appropriate. At the moment, given that the Seneschal decides issues of edict interpretation affecting the King, he seems in a strong position to get his way. If Overknight was still the Seneschal, I could see the issue going the opposite way. If a ratification claim was purely bogus - e.g. if there was no Edict E1.10 but the King just wanted to keep Nottingham and York - then OOC enforcement would be appropriate.So do we decide whether a ratification is valid IC or OOC?
Hi and welcome!Yes, sounds like you are good to go. I am sure our gamesmaster, Zim, will help you when he next checks in - there are about four other players also needing avatars.
