Rules Q&A
- Q: My opponent has Rejected Mediation in play, and I play Kitsuki Judgement on one of his Personalities. My understanding is that when seppuku is called for by an action its effects will not be negated, but does Judgment trigger the "first Political action" clause of Rejected Mediation, allowing me to take Political actions unfettered?
Rejected Mediation Any player who controls the Imperial Favor discards it. Until your second turn from now begins, negate the effects of the first Political action taken each turn.
Kitsuki Judgment Political Limited: Choose your performing unbowed Magistrate, target a Personality, and pay Gold equal to his unit's total Gold Cost, +8 unless he is dishonorable, Kolat, Ninja, or Shadowlands: He commits seppuku.
A: Yes. Rejected Mediation will see the Kitsuki Judgment, attempt to negate it, fail, and then you may take political actions for the remainder of the turn unfettered by Rejected Mediation. Jon Palmer, "Rejected Mediation", 19 Feb 2013
