A player, 19 October 2012
Well it seems SOD questions are being answered. So I got some questions. About Moshi Ino's ability. Battle: Ino summons a storm. After the next action not performed by a Thunder Personality resolves this battle, the player who took it chooses to discard a card or bow the performer. You may take an additional Battle action.
If her ability is activated. It gives to choices the player can choose from. A.) the player who took it chooses to discard a card or B.) bow the performer. 1. A player performs an unperformed action. Can the player choose the "bow the performer" even if there is no performer?
2. If a player has no fate cards in his hand and performs a performed action. Can the player choose the "chooses to discard a card" even if he has no cards in hand or must he bow the performer?
3. If another player has The Scorpion Wall is Finished, Scorpion wall says: other players' actions will not discard cards from your hand, and performs an action, since he will not be able to discard a card from Ino's ablility. Can the player choose the "chooses to discard a card" even if he will not discard?
4. If a player performs a performing action that the cost or when it resolve destroy or removes the performer. Can the player choose the "bow the performer" even if the performer was gone/destroyed?

The player may choose either option regardless of how many cards he has in hand or how many Personalities and/or Followers perfomed the action, or their current status.
