A player, 26 September 2014
My opponent previously placed a Wealth token on my Shigekawa's Court. He is at 35 Honor to my 30. If he uses the player ability to Lobby for the Imperial Favor, does the Wealth token trigger before, during, or after he checks Family Honor? We decided it triggers after the check so there'd still be a tie, but I would like some closure on the matter.
Takeru Sensei After an ability or trait on another player's Holding with a Wealth token resolves, you gain 1 Honor and he may discard the token.
Shigekawa's Court You are considered to have +5 Family Honor when Lobbying checks Honor.

It would trigger after the check in this case, as it triggers after the trait resolves, and the trait resolves when the check occurs.

REVERSING this ruling. Since there's no actual trigger for Shigekawa's Court's trait, it does not resolve. Therefore, there is no interaction with Takeru Sensei.
