Can I use the effect of Seven Fold Palace to "take the Imperial favor" even if I already have the Imperial Favor? Sometimes I need a political action so that I can activate Okimoto's reaction. However, I find that I sometimes don't have anything else I can or want to do that is a political action.
Seven Fold Palace (when I already have the favor)
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.

This is a variation of the frequently asked question: "Is an action legal if an effect can't happen?".
