I asked this on crabclan.net but my opponent didn't find the answer "official" enough for him:
Situation:
Player 1 plays burn the village. 2 boxable are choosen (A) and (B).
Player 2 plays duty on (A) to avoid the die of (B).
Is this legal?
who decides wich personality dies first from burn the village?
Burn the village
Limited: Each player may target one or two Personalities, each of whose base Gold Cost is equal to or lower than his controller's Stronghold's Gold production plus two. Destroy the targeted personalities. Remove all of them that are Shadowlands from the game.
Duty
Reaction: Before another player’s card’s effect destroys one of your Personalities, destroy your target honorable Samurai Personality at the same location: Negate the first Personality’s destruction.
thanks

It's legal.
Timing sequence: Example: Two personalities destroyed simultaneously in battle resolution, A and B, each have a Reaction or trait that trigger before they are destroyed. The active player decides whether Reactions and traits triggered by A’s destruction happen before or after Reactions and traits triggered by B’s destruction.
The two personalities are destroyed by Burn the Village simulaneously, but the opportunity for reactions to their destructions happens in an order chosen by the active player.

Hello,
In relation to this ruling: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=83240 ; is it legal to have Chugo Seido redirect the targeting of Samurai Personality A by the player who uses Burn the Village on Samurai Personality B which is also targeted by the same player and Burn the Village? Providing that both Samurai are of course at the same location.
Chugo Seido says: Reaction: When another player's action would target one of your personalities, destroy this card: The action instead targets one of your Samurai of your choice at the same location, if legal.
Burn the Village says: Limited: Each player may target one or two Personalities, each of whose base Gold Cost is equal to or lower than his controller's Stronghold's Gold production plus two. Destroy the targeted personalities. Remove all of them that are Shadowlands from the game.

No.
Glossary, Targeting: When multiple targets are chosen simultaneously, the same target cannot be chosen twice. This also means that when one target out of multiple, already-chosen targets is being changed, another one of those already-chosen targets cannot legally become the new target.
