Twin Forks City + Rampant Paranoia

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 October 2013

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

A player, 7 October 2013

I play out of Twin Forks and resolve a Rampant Paranoia.

My opponent attacks me.

First action, I duel his guy and win.

His action he uses a kill action on the guy I duelled with (HE TOTALLY HAS A PLAN HE ISNT BAD HONEST).

Does the trait of TFC get burned from this action, or does the Rampant Paranoia prevent the trait from being burned?

*I know this is a variation on the 2 delayed negations applying, but I was wondering if the wording on Rampant changed things.

Nope, there is no difference between this and a double-delayed-negation conflict in the timing/priority due to Rampant Paranoia's slightly different wording.

The active player would choose whether Rampant's delayed prevention or Twin Forks' delayed prevention would trigger first, and then the second delayed prevention would have nothing to cause it to trigger because the first negated that trigger (per the timing sequence here).
