Onyx Lives #rules-questions

All the Gold produced can only pay for that Personality; no extra is pooled.

Less than 3, I'd say. For printed Personalities of 3, 4, or 5, you're not getting/losing any poolable Gold anyway. Only for GC 1 or 2 do you produce extra and are prevented from pooling something you otherwise could've... or... oh.

Are you aware there's no Clan Discount anymore either?

That's what I said? :/

Ahem. Straying a bit from topic? Move to Card Commentary, maybe please?

Yes, but more accurately, because it was never face-down and out of play at the same time.

The deck is another face-down area besides the hand that it could go into "used" and pop back out of "fresh".

and out of play; both at once.

Unlikely, but technically while in play, should retain memory and trackability even while face-down. Most applicable to Ninjutsu Ninja of yore.

It's either. the samurai copies the weapon's ability (and that ability now has no costs), OR the weapon copies one of the Samurai's battle or open abilities

You can't pay the cost of Goro's ability if you copy it to a Weapon. It becomes, "Bow one of [this Weapon]'s Weapons:", and the Weapon has no Weapons attached to it.

Yes, actually. While most of the effects of the FEs can exist concurrently, using just (implicitly current) Force versus printed Force as your duel stat are two mutually exclusive effects (the same as two FEs, one saying saying "use your PH" versus another saying "use your Force").

Active player decides the order that FEs resolve, and the last one would take precedence .

If BL resolves last, it will only supplant the stat used by the player who focused it; the other player would still be beholden to using Force via "Like a Twig"'s effect.

That doesn't change anything.

Yes.

Active player = the player whose turn it is

Pretty sure it's before the Province is destroyed, but it's after the army Force has been counted; if you're thinking killing an opposing guy could somehow save the Province, it can't. Does that help, or do you need a more definite answer on some other aspect?

Well, I was sure of that, but now that you're waiting on me, I'll give into the self-doubt you've created and double check. 😛

Yes, first you tally the two Forces, then all the "ifs" based on that tally happen. Nothing that happens after/during the "ifs" can change the outcome/tally.

Wait wait wait, I'm sorry.

a player, I totally misread the situation.

I somehow thought the Force swing affecting the army, not the Province directly.

Yep! Even now that I'm on the same page, I think BBlade, Techno, and I are all in agreement that changing the PS caused by the Defending units dying in Resolution and activating Yu won't change the tallies. The CR text goes:

"If the Attacker wins, he or she destroys the Defending army. If the attacking army's Force was greater than the Defending army's plus the PS of the battlefield's Province, the Attacker also destroys the Province." My emphasis on the adverb in the second sentence; it implies all the tallying already happened before all the "ifs" are resolved, and all the "ifs" are resolved more or less simultaneously. It's just the nature of the written word that they appear in the Rules as a "sequence", but it doesn't make sense to count the total of the Defender's army from before it's destroyed plus the "current" strength of the Province after the army was destroyed, if you follow me?

Yes. It doesn't say "your", it says "a".

I think maybe you're misunderstanding the ability by asking this? Yotsu Dojo's ability is not performed, nor does it target, so it can't rehonor anyone.

ORLY? A private and/or non-English one? I feel like I'm in the others. 😛

Ah, yep. I'm in there too, but I generally ignore it as ccg doesn't come up much.

Depends on who performed the action that killed the guy, if anyone.

The Personality in the trigger and the dishonorable Personality referred to at the end are not necessarily (and not likely) the same one.

Yes.
