Rules Q&A
- Q: Question about Imperial Scrutiny, which reacts to a player losing honour due to one of his own cards. The situation is that I'm the guy trying to play Imperial Scrutiny. May I play it if my opponent:
Commits sepukku to reduce an honour loss (that I am giving to him, from, say a Shame) to 1?
A: No. He is not causing himself a 1 point loss. He is reducing a loss you're causing from its original amount down to 1. The source is still your Shame. Jeff Alexander, "post for 1 July 2002", 2 Jul 2002
