I'm playing Scorpion and I have a Jade Pearl Inn in play.
My opponent flips his cards and I see 1 Jade Pearl Inn in his provinces.
I name the card Jade Pearl Inn.
Does this prevent my opponent from using his Jade Pearl Inn's Interrupt?
Jade Pearl Inn Interrupt: After you Recruit this Holding from a Province, search your Dynasty deck for a non-Unique, Gold-producing Holding with a printed Gold Cost of 1 and refill the Province face-up with it.
Shadowed Estate: Tireless Open: Name a Fate card, or name a Dynasty card in play. Negate the effects of the next action from a card with that title.

Yes.
PS I was so amused by this interaction when I first realized this during my games

Just a quick follow on from this topic: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=107172 I just want to be sure as I usually run playsets of JPI's in my decks.
If I have a Jade Pearl Inn out in play already myself and another in my province that I want to buy that turn but my opponent names JPI with The Shadowed Estate. Can I announce the Interrupt on my JPI that is already in play to any other action I have that turn (Limited, Battle, whatever) to "waste" his pick and then safely purchase and use my JPI that is in my provinces to grab me a 1g holding?

Nothing in the rules prevents that (except, perhaps, the Rule of Presence).

I'm curious how this is possible? How do you Trigger the Shadowed Estate action negation by falsely using a JPI when it's already in play? Seems there is a good faith issue here if you try to trigger an interrupt when no legal action is inciting the action

Interrupts generally have no conditions which determine what actions they may interrupt. For example, A Stout Heart may interrupt A Game of Dice (either yours or your opponent's): that A Game of Dice does not create Fear effects is irrelevant to the legality of playing A Stout Heart.
Only if the text of the Interrupts effects begin with "If" are there any constraints on whether the Interrupt action is legal to take in response to another action - see here for more details.
Thus, you may take the action on an in-play Jade Pearl Inn to interrupt (almost) any action; since the action won't Recruit it, the delayed effect will not be triggered, but that does not matter for determining the legality of taking Jade Pearl Inn's Interrupt action.
