So, how is this different from a Duke entering Crown list and then  
deliberately withdrawing after defeating an individual or individuals  
they didn't like or didn't think should be King?  For that matter, I  
guess any one can do that, but for Dukes this is okay, while for  
others it is supposed to be a dishonor.
