Rules Q&A
- Q: Then Wasp Sensei.
It says that you may not lobby for the favor. Can you still contest someone from taking the favor if your FH is higher? If so can you bow people and still give a gift as you yourself are not lobbying for the favor or would you simply contest it till your opponent bows enough people and so on to get it?<<
Just out of curiosity, why does the Wasp Sensei prohibit one from lobbying? Have the Wasp, who last I heard were all Emerald Magistrates, fallen out of favor with the emperor?
A: Not that I know of, but you also have to remember that the Wasp aren't your traditional Emerald Magistrates. They're a different, more independant sort, and that might have something to do with their unwillingness (or inability) to cury favor with the Emperor.
