A player, 24 September 2007

Is it legal for a Samurai/Courtier personality to commit seppuku when the player that owns him loses honor from Unspoken Threats or Bayushi Saya? (Assuming that the Samurai/Courtier personality has already been targeted with Unspoken Threats or Bayushi Saya and is attacking).

references:

Unspoken Threats: "Political Limited: Bow one of your target Courtiers: Target another player’s Human Personality. While your Courtier remains in play, after each time that Personality assigns or moves to attack one of your Provinces, his controller loses 2 Honor".

Bayushi Saya:"Political Open: Target a Personality. After the next time this turn his controller assigns him or an action resolves that he performed, his controller loses Honor equal to his Personal Honor, then he is dishonored".

Seppuku: "Reaction: Any number of times per turn, before you lose Honor from an action that targeted or was performed by one of your Courtier or Samurai Personalities: He commits seppuku. Reduce the Honor loss to one".
