(Message zen:77) Subj: [L5RINFO] Rules for 9 May 2000 From: Zen Faulkes <zfaulkes@PLANET.NET.AU> To: L5RINFO@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 21:25:15 +1000 X-Accept-Language: en -- /blue/homes/cowell/Mail/mhl.format -- Greetings, From: Duatha <duatha@GEOCITIES.COM> Subject: Master Tactics > On "Master Tactics" (HidEmp) is written that any effect that would > prevent this card from taking full efect are negated. Does this means > that Ninja Tricks or Bayushi Kachiko's Exp3 ability cannot negate this > tactics ? No. Accumulated Rulings: "The phrase "this card" in the second-to-last sentence refers to the terrain card, not Master's Tactics itself. "Will make the terrain uncounterable by generic card-countering effects, such as Mujina Tricks. (However, Master's Tactics can usually, itself, be countered instead.)" > PS : Hi, everybody - I'm new here ! Welcome aboard. We like newbies. :) Tip: Most rules questions can be answered by visiting: http://www.zdi.net/jwa/l5r (Incidentally, visiting the Accumulated Rulings is something a lot more players ought to do a lot more often, considering how often I'm quoting the thing!) ;;;;; From: "D. Nathan Hood" <nhood@UNLNOTES01.UNL.EDU> Subject: I'm not normally one to complain, but... > Race to Volturnum is now less than a week away, and it would be nice > to get an updated set of Accumulated Rulings and Text Change And > Errata List.

Not me, not Jeff, *nobody* overrules the judge during a tourney. Having rulings may be nice, but in the end, the judge has to call 'em as he or she sees 'em. My world, and welcome to it. ;;;;; From: David Newell <rusted_grail@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Agasha Join the Pheonix > Can you use Agasha Join the Pheonix with Oni? No. This is in the FAQ. > How about Unicorn using Agasha Join the Pheonix for Moto to get the > Dark Moto aligned to them? No. Moto are not from "another clan" (e.g., Moto Yesugai). If there are *any* personalities of your clan with a given name, you can't name it with Agasha Join the Phoenix. (Before you jump up and down saying, "Where's that ruling!?", Jeff Alexander made it on rec.games.trading-cards.misc.) ;;;;; From: harmony <harmony@ATLASNET.FI> Subject: a couple of rules questions... > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Please post in plain text. > Does Seach of the Future take Away Ikoma Kaoku bonuses to > personalities? Yes. In Search of the Future sets everything to its *PRINTED FORCE*. The exceptions are bonuses from attached cards (card text). If it isn't in the unit, In Search of the Future gets rid of it. > Can i use the force boost from Kitsune Shudo if he has a bowed > follower? Yes. The rules only prohibit targeting bowed Personalities. > Do i get a province from Test of the Emerald Champ. if my opponent has > no personalities and i have one, but its bowed? Yes. > Can i use Iaijutsu Challenge with Seppun sensei? Yes. ;;;;; From: Mouse <mouseatwork@FRPG.COM> Subject: Re: News from the chat > I can very easily see one of the "off brand" clans winning RtV because > players decide that they want to knock the big three (or four or > whatever) out of that automatic "I go first" spot. I can also see it > happening because people decide to play one of the "weaker" clans > hoping that it will get them the RtV bye. Plus, Strict Jade is the tourney format which is least "tested" by tournament play. The relative strengths of the clans shift considerably in this format, methinks. I think the gap between the most and least popular clans narrows considerably, too. ;;;;; From: Dustin Tucker <tearsong@U.WASHINGTON.EDU> Subject: Questions > Does Secret Entrance trump the Dark Path of Shadow ability? Accumulated Rulings, Dark Path of Shadow: "Takes priority over The Secret Entrance. [5/5/99]" > If I'm playing Kisada Sensei and at 9 honor when I gain 3 honor, do I > go to 12 or 10? 12. > I'm at something higher than ten and gain honor for some reason (say > Imperial Gift),. can my opponent take the honor gain? No. You never gain the honor in the first place. ;;;;; From: Vaughn Derderian <jst1vaughn@HOME.COM> Subject: Re: News from the chat > [I]s it really realistic to expect people to play off-brand decks in a > global storyline tournament? Yes. The Shadow Redemption tournament was a nice example. According to Jeff Kyer's data, 84 players, with 11 playing the current clan of the moment, Phoenix. 5 with the other big one, Toturi's Army. Even at the height of any so-called "bandwagon," has anyone ever seen more than a quarter or third of the "top" clans at a 30+ player tourney? What we have seen in L5R is that the majority of players do not play "clan of the moment" at tournaments. There are consistently *more* loyalists than bandwagoners. That said, it's true that so-called "bandwagon" clans do tend to be over-represented in tournaments. But that's not the question asked above. ;;;;; From: James Collier <smalltownpress@AZTEC-NET.COM> Subject: Hantei Question > Can you use Hantei Sensei to eliminate Take the Initiative before it > can be used to take the first turn from you? No. Using the Sensei is a Limited action.
