Rules Q&A

• Q: If I use the Temple of the Ninth Kami and my opponent chooses to challenge Yokubo but I use Yokubo's Reaction to negate the challenge, is my opponents Personality dishonored since the challenge was negated?
  A: Sure. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 8th, 2003", 8 Aug 2003
• Q: I challenge Yokubo with For the Empire. He negates the challenge. Can I cancel this with Keen Eye?
  A: Yes. Yokubo's Reaction happens after targeting, when effects are being resolved. At that point, the action has become a challenge, and Keen Eye is legal to play. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 22nd, 2003", 22 Jul 2003
• Q: Just two questions about Yokubo:
  Can a Tower of Asako player effectively cancel Yokubo's second reaction? Meaning, if the Asako player attaches a card to a samurai, then Yokubo reacts, then a shugenja reacts, can Yokubo react again, thus the cancelling is useless?
  A: Dark Allies rules, page 45: A cancelled action never happened, and can be performed again (if all costs can be paid). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 6 July 2002", 7 Jul 2002
• Q: Is placing a terrain under the Armor of Sun-Tao considered attaching the card? Can Yokubo react to it?
  A: No to both. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 6 July 2002", 7 Jul 2002
• Q: I'm pretty sure I know the answers to these but I just want to hear an official answer.
  Yokubo 4F/6C -/13/0 Unaligned Onisu of Desire . Nonhuman . Cavalry . Shadowlands . Unique . Lose 5 Honor. Reaction: Once per turn, negate a challenge against Yokubo. Reaction: Once per turn, after a target Personality attaches a card, destroy all other cards already attached to the Personality
  1) In a battle, I play Street to Street. The S2S is destroyed. My opponent attaches 2 (or more) followers to one of his personalities. If I use Yokubo's second reaction on that personality, how many of the followers, if any, are destroyed.
  A: None. None were already on the Personality when the rest attached. Jeff Alexander, "post for 19 December 2001", 19 Dec 2001
