Whispered Rumors, negating effects, and event resolution

L5R CCG Rules board, 16 June 2007

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.

When Whispered Rumors negates the effects of an Event before it resolves, does the Event not resolve, or does it resolve and do nothing?

Reaction: Before an Event resolves: Negate its effects.

When Whispered Rumors negates the effects of an Event before it resolves, does the Event not resolve, or does it resolve and do nothing?

Why does it matter? I am wary of questions with no context.

Effect negation does not affect resolution.
