I sincerely hope Dukkha's ok, but it looks like we're all going to have to get together and cover for him. Too bad really, because Aid and Betrayal is custom made for a Waynhim.

I'm 2/3rd through the chapter right now and will post a general outline of it within about 3 hours from now. I've asked dlb to read up and respond after I do so, to get things going and to iron out any format questions that arise. The format is 'round-table' which means that I'm basically coming in with a quick analysis of the chapter itself-I won't pretend to know what exactly happened before-except for maybe a caesure...

Then it's up to all of us to help fill in the gaps for a thorough dissection. I've asked Don to PM some of our top posters here to help-so hopefully it just won't be us mods yaking back and forth. Actually Dromond and I did before this on an IEW chapter-it turned out to be alot of fun, even if I did have reservations...
