ANST - Deficiency in Ansteorran Law? (was: Jafar's passing)

[Karie Mitchell]

Galen here.

My condolences to the family and friends of Scott Hall, aka HRH Jafar,
on his tragic death.

But I noticed something I found curious in the announcement.

> Her Highness will need even more

His Crown Princess, HRH Kenna, will be crowned and will rule alone as
Queen of the Middle.  I was quite surprised; I had expected that the
Crown Tourney would be re-fought.  But I checked Midrealm Law and lo,
it specifies that when either the Crown Prince or Princess can't
fulfill their duties, the other continues alone.

I checked Ansteorran Law and found that this contingency, a Crown
Prince or Princess unable or unwilling to begin, much less complete,
the reign, isn't covered.  Do we re-fight the tourney?  Does the
remaining one continue alone?  It doesn't say, except in the case
in which one of them wasn't properly a member when Crown Tourney
was fought (then, we re-fight the Crown Tourney).

I don't much care which way we go, but it should be covered
it law.  Burke?  Artorius?  Does the new law address this?
If not, do you agree that it should?
