None of that changes the fact that the Oracle has still not sent any messages to either a Public or Discussion Forum in the last 4 days (as they passed in real life).
 
The oracle does not have a certain amount of time to assign consultations, e has an obligation to assign them as soon as possible. There is nothing which prevents this being done during an emergency and warrigal knew e was a player 2 days before the contract "suffocation" cast uncertainty upon wether e was a player or not and e did not assign my nkep consultation.
