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, 6 September 2014
When you purchase Otomo Demiyah, I understand that the intent is that you gain 1 honor from her with her reaction.
But lets say, on a later turn, if I buy another Otomo Demiyah, can I use her reaction to gain an honor again (thus, gaining two honor, one from the in-play Demiyah, one from the now-entering-play Demiyah)? I ask because all that the interrupt is looking for is "after I recruit Demiyah".
Demiyah's Rules Text:
"Political Interrupt: After you Recruit Demiyah, a target player gains or loses 1 Honor."
Thank you rules team!

Self-referential text on cards only applies to that card itself, not other copies, unless it explicitly says so.
So, Demiyah would have to say, "After you Recruit a copy of Demiyah..."
