L5R CCG Rules board, 14 December 2007 to 26 December 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.

May I play the Ring of Earth by its text if I am an allying player whose unit was in the army that triggered Ring Of Earth's reaction?

I realize that there is a similar posting, but I am not able to reply in that post.

I am the attacking/ defending leader but I have no units/ significantly less units in the battle, can I still play the ring of Earth from my hand using it's wording?
