Rules Q&A
- Q: Player B controls untapped: Kyuden Ikoma and 1 Copper Mine. He have 8 Honor.
So, Player B taps the stronghold and the Coppermine to play Akodo Kurako ( HR:8 / GC:9 ) without honor gain.
So PLAYER A play political interference. Question:
If Player B choose loss honor, the honor automatically decrease to 6 and Kurako cant be played?
A: "A Personality's honor requirement must be met before, during, and after paying costs. [Partial Reversal]" (Accumulated Rulings, "Honor Requirements")
The Honor Loss from Political Interference happens when paying costs. Therefore, having 6 Honor will not meet Kurako's Honor Requirement after paying costs, and she will not enter play. Martin Lund, "Rules for 16 and 17 April 2004", 18 Apr 2004
