When I was a kid people would say the name of a fruit/vegetable and the person who couldn't think of a unique one had to do x thing. The nose thing seems like a much better way to keep track of who has done it and who hasn't!

Yeah, it was said somewhere in Homestuck that GHB had Dualscar executed because he couldn't make a funny joke. It's a pretty lovely reason to die, but I don't think I will feel particularly sorry for him.

Well I think more specifically he pissed the GHB off by whining about Mindfang and then he failed to earn NOT getting killed by failing to tell a funny joke.

That one is so canon, it retroactively changes the rest of the main story so it doesn't contradict it.

They had to be- Dualscar telling on Mindfang (and getting killed for not being able to tell a good joke) is what prompted Redglare to come after her.

Yes. Dualscar informed on Mindfang to the Highblood and was executed for his trouble. Then the Highblood sent Redglare to capture Mindfang.

As of right now, it could be either way. We're going to have to wait until someone has an actual conversation to be sure.

Not that it matters because he was an Ampora, but wouldn't Dualscar outrank the Highblood?

The Highblood is the one odd quirk in the blood caste where he rises above everyone but the Queen. Mostly because he's a nasty clown and she gets off on that.

Two things:

There is Grade and then there is Position. Another example on the same page is Redglare being sent after Mindfang. Cerulean trumps Teal, but Redglare is delegated the authority to collect her (or Trolls could just be doing what they want)

The other thing is what Equius went over regarding Gamzee during Hivebent: that surface dwellers and sea trolls were typically at war with one another (the in-fighting among the trolls was probably encouraged as much by the Empress as the Handmaid because the most noted unity of trolls rebelled against the Condesce)
