Would the following chain of events have been acceptable:
Person A - I order you to move to region X
Person B - I will not move
Person A - Fine, then I will ask that you are replaced as marshal as of tomorrow by somebody who can do the job.
It seems to me it should - you face consequences for disobeying orders. But of course the sub-text is that the marshal has that one last chance. Surely we don't want to punish people for making this explicit?
Again, this is no problem, and neither is the general case of saying, "You
will do it, or you will be punished!"
The problem is that Allomere specified a particular time frame in which it had to be done, which was unreasonably short.
