Well, this is a turn... but then again, a culture who has ritualised their violence sometimes finds that battling those who ignore the ‘rules’ can be problematic. It is always a disadvantage when you are hardwired by your upbringing to follow rules when you deal with those who fell no compunction to do likewise.

That said, I suspect there is another act to follow this part of the play.

You know I LOVE the idea of someone able to put this guy in his place. Not that I DISLIKE the Ambassador, but would be refreshing to see such a well developed characters...REALIZE he is out classed and actually know/assume his place.
