The red wedding

By IXIMrPinkIXI, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

The red wedding has one opponent choose a lord and a lady if able... If there is only one lady on the field do I kill that character or because there aren't both a lord and a lady the effect doesn't resolve.

no, there would need to be a lord and a lady in play and both must resolve

Just to make sure that was clear, in order for The Red Wedding to have any effect, there must be BOTH one Lord and one Lady chosen. The effect does nothing if there are fewer than two characters to choose.

and at least one of them must not be "cannot be killed"

and at least one of them must not be "cannot be killed"

All this statement might do is create more questions because its beyond the question that is asked.

EDIT: Sorry, I was in a hurry writing that. What I really mean is that when you volunteer additional information beyond the original question, it can at times end up being too much information and add confusion. I can elaborate on the Red Wedding for many posts by adding all scenarios that involve the Red Wedding and weird things that happen with it but don't like doing so if the questions aren't asked because it can make the game and forums explode.

Fair enough comment Bomb but I don't think my response was way out there ... the kill factor seems to be one of the more confusing basic aspects of Red Wedding

This forum is, after all, called "rules discussion", so I don't think threads should be just be basic questions and answers

True, but it might be a good idea to say "this goes beyond the scope of the question as asked, but...". That way, there is less possibility of someone thinking that the expansion is part of the original situation.

For example, while it is true that, in order for something of substance to happen with this plot, there must be two characters chosen (original scope) and at least one of them needs to be killable (expanded comment). However , at least one of the characters being killable is not part of choosing the two characters. We don't want to have people mistakenly think that they could not choose a Lord and a Lady that were both CBK (thus thwarting the plot).
