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.
A player, 1 March 2010
Lets say player A has 20 family honor and Player B has 15 family honor. Player B has a straightened Seven Fold Palace. Player A lobbies the favor as his first open/limited. Then player B uses Seven Fold Palace and targets his personality.
What happens? Does player A lose the favor and player B takes it. Or does nothing happen because only one person can have the favor at one time and Player B has less family honor.
thanks in advance

Lobbying for the Favor is limited by the Once per Turn default for rulebook actions.
Taking the favor is not, and does not require your family honor be higher than anyone elses.
