New factions and The Paths We Choose

[Zandari]

Sooo, a quick question. 5-99 The Paths We Choose is VERY dependent on the factions of the folks at the table.

Since this will be run for the first time at GenCon, and that may be the first exposure a lot of people have to the new factions, what should we do with folks who have not yet chosen one of the new groups?

I had thought there might be some language in the scenario about this, but it appears to assume everyone is a member of one of the new factions. Did I miss something?

Just to be clear, if they have not yet chosen a new faction, should we pick the mini-quests based on the following old-to-new equivalencies?
Cheliax is Dark Archive
Andoran is Liberty's Edge
Sczarni and/or Qadira is The Exchange
Osirion is Scarab Sages
Taldor is Sovereign Court
Grand Lodge no change
Silver Crusade no change

This thread sheds some light, and I assume the new Guide to Organized Play will also illuminate things, but I just want to be sure.

I'm pretty sure you use the character's old factions. But I haven't read it yet.

What happened to my poor Qadira? :(

Having read it, you can use either. Because of direct link between factions, even the scenario gives you both options.

You're merging with the scarzini to form the exchange, Aaqir al-Hakam. is still in charge though.

A few additional questions regarding the upcoming faction shifts. If you are running or playing a pbp game, and the game runs past the date when changes are required, how do you report the game? Do the PPs earned default to one of the new factions or do you award them to old faction then have everything switch over once the player adopts their new faction?

I'm sure that will be covered in the new guide to organized play or in the blog that comes with it.
