If you have finished the tutorial I see no reason to delay in throwing Chuckles to the pit monster! I think as long as you do not murder an npc that is needed for your current challenge you are good to go, as the game will generate a new npc to take his place.
Tross is lovely! That is so crazy that game game made her a doppelganger. I'm jealous! It does make sense she'd have a body double, though. I'm going to eye my guardsmen more closely when I get back in game now. BTW, I don't know if you saw it, but each time you create a new sim you should save them to the sim bin. ;) That way you don't have to recreate them later if you start a new challenge.
Edicts at the war table are a little confusing at first, but Carls guides helped me out with that. It was the only daily task I was really having trouble with. They have so many neat ideas in this game. I hope to see a few of them re-visited for TS4. ::crosses fingers::

I really love this couple. They're really neat and often dote on each other without my direction. That's amore!

I can't emphasis how much I love that sword fighting beats up my knight and how he limps everywhere he goes while injured. I love the bandages that they're wrapped in when they are severely injured as well. It's just a really fun immersive effect that I enjoy!
Here Lancelot is limping down to the docks to check on a few last minute preparations for his voyage.

These three children belong to Queen Amalthea, and they are always hanging out around the pit. Right now two of them are heading for the well, but seriously, they're almost always at the Pit... It's getting a little morbid. rofl I wonder if children can have the bloodthirsty trait? rofl

My spymaster is eavesdropping on these two. LOL Some of her facial expressions were hilarious during this activity.
