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.
Can a spider clan player use the seppuku action on one of their samurai, when playing their own action that has an honor loss printed on it? (Asking due to the stronghold's disallowance of honor loss from cards they own)
The only reference I could find using the search function was a samurai-era ruling that didnt really address this particular issue.
Thanks!

See Timing Sequence: If two or more reactions, triggered traits, or rules procedures are triggered at the same point in time, follow this sequence from A through C to decide their order. A. Apply any ongoing or continuous effects that negate, prevent, or substitute the occurrence that defines the trigger, making the occurrence not happen in the first place. C. Reactions may now be taken. The order of resolution means that triggered effects that come first, due to the above order or the active player’s decision, can remove the trigger for triggered effects that come later, making them fail.
The honour loss is prevented in step A, so by step C there is no honour loss for the Sepukku Reaction to react to.
