Contested Titles question - ruling, LSJ?

This has happened in jol95, which i moderate, and i'd like a ruling, please. Sylvester Simms calls a Praxis Seizure: Cairo. Suhailah is already in play, but the vote passes. Clearly Sylvester does not become Prince until/unless Suhailah yields, but is he still a Primogen whilst contesting the other title? -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

He lost the Primogen title when the Praxis passed. He became a Prince when the vote passed (and immediately began contesting that title). -- L.

So what if God ain't playing in it? His Holiness the Pope is in! Anyway, the previous title is abandonned when a new one is obtained, be it in any way. He'll never be a Primo again unless someone plays Of Noble Blood on him. And that is most doubtful as I don't even have it in the deck. Bleu
