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.
I have resolved In TIme of War, and my opponent has gained 3 honor his turn. During his dynasty phase he buys a person for full, with a personal honor of 4. I attempt to play dirty politics with the intention of negating the gain. Which is the correct timing:
A) Dirty politics reduces the players honor gain to zero, I lose 4 honor B) In Time of War reduces the players honor gain to 2, Dirty politics reduces it to zero, I lose 2 honor. C) Something else

Dirty Politics is "before" an honor gain occurs, manipulating it before In Time of War does anything.
