Let's say I play a performed political action (The Law's Strength, Favor of Artisans, Dove Tattoo, Rule book action to take the favor) and an opponent plays Enough Talk in reaction.
After fighting the duel, (assuming no problems with focus effects) we tie the duel, triggering the lose condition of Enough Talk and destroying both personalities.
Does the Political action still happen? The reason for this question is the idea that a dead personality can no longer perform the political action; has the person already fulfilled all requirements for the action to happen? Does it matter if I no longer have presence if the Political action is a battle action? Is the ruling different depending on the Political Action?
