(Message zen:52) Subj: [L5RINFO] Rules for 13-14 April 2000 From: Zen Faulkes <zfaulkes@PLANET.NET.AU> To: L5RINFO@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 13:22:11 +1000 X-Accept-Language: en -- /blue/homes/cowell/Mail/mhl.format -- Greeting, Someone's cast Curse of the Rot Within on my laptop. And just one week before the Australian Kotei, too. This may be my last rules post for a while until my computer is fixed. ;;;;; From: Dean McNabb - Tegel <DeanM@TEGEL.CO.NZ> Subject: Re: Rules for 11 April 2000 >>> [I]f it's a Battle Terrain, doesn't the effect and abilities only last >>> as long as the Terrain is in play? >> >> Yes, that is how it works. Jeff ruled as such quite some time ago. > > I hate to nit pick, but is this a general rule for terrains, or > specific for this one (and others that take effect immediately)? Specific to Come One At A Time. ;;;;; From: saevene <saevene@HOME.COM> Subject: Minor Oni Servants Questions > If there is two minor oni servants on one person, do I suffer the loss > twice? Yes. > I still suffer the loss even, if, say the servant is on Osugi, or the > spell has it cost reduced elsewhere, correct? Yes. ;;;;; From: Michael Catinari <isawascaggs@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: Dead Eyes Rules Question > I assumed that if I played two Dead Eyes on the same personality, that > personality would be able to use the ability twice per turn with no > drawbacks beyond those associated with playing and using a single Dead > Eyes (zero PH, dies w/o more than double opposing force). Correct. ;;;;; From: Ide Kinasa <kinasa@SUPPORT.GSA1.COM> Subject: Silly rules question... > Look Zen! No Mime! I'm happy. Really. Or I will be after my laptop is fixed. Did I mention my fridge quit last night, too? > One of the local players seems to think that you cannot take open > actions during an end phase. He is correct. ;;;;; From: Crowley <vanwert@IONSYS.COM> Subject: Suspicions and the Ninja > Last weekend at a tournament a friend of mine was playing ninja and > someone pulled Suspicions against him. It was ruled that he had to take > the honor loss because it created a "global effect". That was incorrect. ;;;;; From: Roger Giner-Sorolla <trism@LEPROSY.NET> Subject: New "gained abilities are permanent" rule ... more implications [RULES JUNTA] > I'm not saying these effects should be permanent, but I'm just wondering > why the rules say that gained abilities are by default permanent, when > those which are permanent explicitly say so. That's one for Jeff and Dave, not me. ;;;;; From: Nathan Hood <nhood@UNLNOTES01.UNL.EDU> Subject: Two Rules Questions > Unicorn tactician (Yokatsu let's say) is in a battle, uses his > tactician ability, wins the battle, comes home, gets rallying cried, and > then shinjo's breathed into another battle. Since tactician bonuses > last until the end of the turn, he still has the tactician bonuses, and > since this is a new battle, he can tactician again. Absolutely legal. > Is someone playing with the new Fox clan stronghold considered a > Yoritomo's Alliance player? Yes. ;;;;; From: Evan Hensleigh <futuraprime@HOME.COM> Subject: Re: Rules for 11 April 2000 > COMPLETELY wrong, Zen. Thank you for that vote of confidence. > Seppun Sensei prevents you from taking actions that cause another player > an honour loss. Defend Your Honour is such an action, unless I'm > gravely mistaken. "You cannot take actions that *would* cause Honor losses for other players." "Would" is synonymous with "will," which means "unconditional." If a card may -- or may not -- cause cause an honor loss, Seppun Sensei players can use it. ;;;;; From: saevene <saevene@HOME.COM> Subject: Kage Sensei > If I ahve a sleeper token on a person can i cancel lobbying? Yes. ;;;;; From: "Rossa, Frank A" <frossa@IUPUI.EDU> Subject: Re: Kage Sensei > Can you cancel attaching something to a personality with a [Sleeper] > token [from Kage Sensei]? Yes. I mentioned all these in my Herald article on Kage Sensei in #13 or so. ;;;;; From: Mark Wootton <Kakita@KAKITA.FREESERVE.CO.UK> Subject: Rings, Mo5 and Stronghold Cards > The "Rings are no longer actions" has been in place since Ambition's > Debt I think. Yet the Rings produced in F&S have VERY clear BOLD-faced > "Reaction" printed on them. That's a function of something in publishing known as "lead time." There's an *unavoidable, insurmountable delay* between idea and putting card with that idea in the hands of the players. If someone had the best idea in the world for L5R, it wouldn't show up for 6-12 months. From my (incomplete) understanding of the production process, the cards are sent for printing before the rules (probably so that things like colour registration can be done). Hence, the rulebook can incorporate later changes than the cards can. Yes, it's a problem. But the physical realities of printing prevent a faster solution. ;;;;; From: "Charles A. Boyung" <boyungc@MSOE.EDU> Subject: Re: Rings, Mo5 and Stronghold Cards > I was always under the impression that playing the ring was an action > because you react to a certain condition to put it into play. > Otherwise, why would they say reaction on them. It's a holdover from when they *were* actions (but nobody thought they were). > I missed the ruling where it was said that they don't count as playing > an action when you play them, but I think that is one ruling that is > faulty. FAQ 3.10: "Q: What are these rumors I'm hearing about Rings not being action cards anymore? "A: They're not just rumors. Not only are Elemental Rings their own special card type, neither playing them by their own conditions nor using them are Reactions anymore. They are no longer bound by anything that prohibits or reacts to taking actions." ;;;;; From: Evan Hensleigh <futuraprime@HOME.COM> Subject: An Exhibition and Seppun Sensei > Is An Exhibition legal with Seppun Sensei? "Double the honor gain." No way. ;;;;; From: Shawn Humphrey <shawnphy@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: Yoshi Sensei Question > What type of "card effects" does this sensei relate to? Card effect: any effect caused by a card (i.e., not a stronghold, token, or rulebook). > I just played a crane deck that used this sensei and he was using all > kinda of honor loss cards against me (ie, breach, martyr, assassin+winds > truth) so I'm trying to figure out what type of cards would be > restricted by Yoshi Sensei, if not these. He hosed you. In every case you list. Not *one* of those would cause you an honor loss. ;;;;; From: Tom ReyesCairo <jincks@NETZERO.NET> Subject: Relief and Walking the Way > *Can* you Relief [Ninube Ogoku] since she's in the opposing army, and if > so, does her replacement take up the spot in the opposing army? Yes, you can target her with Relief; you control her. No, the units replacing her cannot move into the opposing army, because that would be illegal for *them*. Relief simply says that the units go into / out of "this battle," and nothing about which army. ;;;;; From: saevene <saevene@HOME.COM> Subject: Return of Myth > Return of Myth. Permanant bonus or no? End of turn. ;;;;; From: Shawn Humphrey <shawnphy@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: Hantei Sensei and Forests of Shinomen > If Hantei is used to name a card already in play (ie, clan sword), what > happens to the card? It remains in play. > Does Forests of Shinomen affect Deep Forests or just Forests. All Forest cards (including Deep). ;;;;; From: David Newell <rusted_grail@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Re: Suspicions and the Ninja > Can [Shadowlands] use The Wave Men or Agasha Join the Pheonix? Yes. No. > If they do use The Wave Men do their people join them for cheaper? Yes -- if they're human. ;;;;; From: Chris Ostermann <OninoBob@AOL.COM> Subject: Blessings of Isawa/Ninja Mimic > Suppose that a Ninja Mimic were pretending to be some random Shugenja, > and that Blessings of Isawa had resolved, but no Kihos had yet been > cast. [...] that the controller of the Ninja Mimic were to cast a Kiho, > which would then attach to the Ninja Mimic. [...] next, the Shugenja the > Mimic were copying were to straighten, thus causing the Mimic to revert > to being just a plain old Mimic...with an attached Kiho and a new > ability. Could the Mimic use the ability, or not? Yes. ;;;;; From: Matthew Lerner <msl@BORK.HAMPSHIRE.EDU> Subject: Rules Question WAS Re: An Alliance Bounty > [W]hich happens first - Satsume preventing the attachment of followers > with force greater than the personalities Chi, or Tsuke's force-booster? Tsuke's bonus is when "entering play." That will be before, or in the middle of, attaching. Satsume (may) prevent the attachment from being completed.
