Yep, thanks for mentioning it. There is a deductible that the group would
need to cover in some manner. I find it rather unusual that the autocrat
and not the group hosting the event would be "responsible" for the
deductible tho.

True.

Don't know it it was recent, but this is what Sedelia told us at the meeting.
I asked specific questions about those I listed as not covered.

Be careful as to what you call "warranted". If the person does not show up
on a roster or a single warrant form that is signed by the crown and the
Kingdom level officer, they are not recognized as a "warranted" officer of
the corporation. This is the definition of what is "recognized" in Corpora
and Kingdom law. Just because you have a card given you by the Chirurgeon
or Marshall, does NOT mean you have a warrant.
