Possibly Tabini (and his proxys/agents) can act without filing because he has no upward-reaching man'chi to embroil in his actions without their consent? |

cicely58 nadi: One suspects that is not the case. observe Tabini's filing against attacks on Bren. One also suspects that the Guild's dim view of non-Guild, non-Filed actions would also extend to any aiji (high or low) that broke that law/process. |

Actually, I think Cici-ji is correct or very close. I don't remember where I read it, but there was something explained somewhere that a Lord did not need to File against anyone in his/her man'chi. Perhaps that might include Tabini not being technically required to File against anyone at all (other than perhaps than Sidi-ji). I seem to remember that the Filing on Bren's behalf was partly done to regularize Bren's status with the Guild. I'm pretty sure that Jago and Tabini both felt that they did not need to File against Hanks. Now if I can ever find the passage where the details of situations exempt from Filing was written, I'll be thrilled. |

The Filing on Bren's behalf, was also against persons unspecified, persons unknown. A contingincy Filing, promising retaliatory action, intended as protection for Bren. A posthumous Filing of greater lord versus lesser would be a specific target. And not just Tabini -- I suppose (for example) Geigi could do such to the mayor of a town within his province (and which is to say, within his man'chi). |

Actually, now that I have gotten to look back at page 3 (I hate having pages actually - I lose my place too easily), I think everything that I know was pretty much said there by the combined wisdom of the group :) And, off topic, I read Xheralt-ji's signature off to significant other, and she did not get the same level of enjoyment I did. What a shame... I'm sure there's some social worker/therapist joke out there that I don't consider funny, but I can't think what :) Actually, it is on topic slightly - I think it's exactly the kind of joke that Bren and Jase would have distributed on station to explain the differences between engineers and mere mortals to prevent a war... |
