- "Linger when you study art, history, and war. Take time to comtemplate the Fortunes, the Masters, and Shinsei's Tao. But always remember, each day of your learning: If it is time to strike, strike. The moment does not last."

Rules Q&A
- Q: Just to check, since this is different from the way I thought it worked.
If my opponent lobbies for the favour and I impose a cost to the action using Scorpion Distractor, then they can choose not to pay and have the attempt cancelled, and then just bow another person to redo the lobbying.
A: That's how it works. Jeff Alexander, "post for 24 January 2002", 24 Jan 2002 - Q: Let's say a personality bows for the Imperial Favor. Gusai bows as a reaction to cancel the political action. Can the other player bow another one of his personalites for the Imperial Favor in that same turn?
A: Yes. Canceled actions don't count as having been attempted, so a "once per turn" action like lobbying remains usable. Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 January 2002", 22 Jan 2002
