All in all, this is a great argument, but even if the book says one way or the 
other, the writers have always tended to say, the final call is up to the 
Marshal.  Players have to let the Marshal's make the decision in the end, and 
Marshals have to remember that players should have fun, all in all.  If the 
Marshal says he's gone, even if the book says he's not, he's gone. Now a good 
Marshal should let you make a case in hoping for reversal in decision ...  and 
should consider the impact on party dynamics, and player happiness, but none 
of these have certain results.  As much of a bummer as it is, it's always been 
my experience as a player that it's time to make a new character, showing the 
other players what can happen to them next.
