strange situation questions

By sajuhl1987, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Ok I was first wondering about assault of the kraken, is the when opposed the challenge is treated like it never happened effect initiated as soon as the challenge is opposed or does the player have the chance to make it unopposed through card effects, like the scouting vessel.

Secodly if a unique card is in play, like Aeron Damphair and a duplicate is placed into your dead pile from your hand by Aegons hill is it discarded like I think or is there some other rule here

playing

Think of the copy that is moved to the dead pile while another copy is in play as an "impostor" if it helps. But again, in the absence of a rule telling you to actually do something, you don't get to do it.

In that case of one copy of the unique character in play, another copy in my dead pile - I can't play my third copy of the card as a dupe on the character in play then, right?
