Q: Can I play Yoritomo Katoa, do a Leon to bow and straighten him a few times, and thus cancel the next few political actions, or do I have to wait for one to resolve before pre-cancelling the next?
A: [MARTY] You can bow and unbow him as many times as you want, but it won't do you a whole lot of good. His action's effect is to, "Negate all effects of the next Political Action this game." His action type is, "Political Open."
If you use his ability, unbow him non-Politically, and then attempt to use the ability again, would that not be the "next Political Action this game," and consequently have its effects Negated? Martin Lund, "Rules for 9 August 2004", 12 Aug 2004
Q: If i use Yoritomo Katoa no-exp gold bug, to pay the cost to use Tireless assault in katoa, or call to arms, when the action take the effect? after or before i use to pay the cost?
A: Archive, General, actions: Announce action, pick targets pay costs, resolve effects.
