[Moo] Same Gender Corsort Proposal from SCA Announcement List

[Dante di Pietro]

One thing to keep in mind is that they had to include some kind of
protection against the scenario where two dukes decide to fight together,
double their odds so two more do, and so on. Without some kind of method of
prevention, it would be POSSIBLE, if however UNLIKELY, to have a kingdom
with no queen for years. Whatever issues there might be with the proposed
language, and alternatives must address that possibility.
