Enough Talk! and Ring of the Void

As far as I can see, before the resolution of your own political action, you can react with enough talk!(s) and: 1) The effects do not happen because you can't challenge your own people 2) Enough Talk! does count toward bringing Ring of The Void into play.

Relevant card text: Enough Talk! Iaijutsu Reaction: Before the resolution of a Political action performed by a Personality, target your unbowed Samurai: He challenges the other Personality. Destroy the duel's loser. If your Samurai wins the duel, the Political action's effects do not happen.

This is a correct interpretation.

Im a little confused by this ruling and we have a lot of dueling decks in my area so i just wanted to get a little more clarification. Thanks for your assistance.

It was ruled that a player may do this, but doesnt this go against the Good Faith Rule?

Good Faith Rule: When an action is announced, the player must be able to target all required targets, meet all conditions of the action, and pay all mandatory costs, to the best of his or her knowledge. If the action involves putting one or more cards into play as a non-optional effect, the player must be able to meet all costs and requirements to bring those cards into play legally, in order to meet the Good Faith rule. This includes having a Personality who can legally attach any attachments to be brought into play. [CLARIFIED 16 Feb 2011] A player cannot announce an action on the basis of a legal card to play, but then choose an illegal attachment or Personality for the actual play choice. Aspects of the game state are taken into account in determining legality under the Good Faith Rule, such as effects that reduce costs, prevent costs from being paid, or relax requirements. A player is not assumed to know the face-down contents of his or her decks, for purposes of the Good Faith Rule. Example: An action’s effect tells the player to search his or her deck and bring a card from it into play. If there is no legal card to play left in the deck, the player still may take the action in good faith. The intent of the Good Faith Rule is to prevent players from abusively attempting actions whose costs and requirements they know they cannot fulfill (for example, in order to exploit a Reaction to announcing the action), while at the same time allowing players to take actions whose costs and requirements they know they can fulfill. It should be interpreted in this spirit, and not as a way to block legal actions because of a technicality.

No. Enough Talk! has no other target than the performing unbowed Samurai, no other condition than its trigger, no mandatory cost, and it does not involve putting one or more cards into play as a non-optional effect. As you quoted, the intent of the Good Faith Rule is also to allow players to take actions whose costs and requirements they know they can fulfill, and not as a way to block legal actions because of a technicality. The fact that all effects of Enough Talk! will fail is not a reason to forbid to play this card.

Wouldn't Enough Talk! still count for Ring of Void? The MRP of the Rings removed "successful," so Void doesn't care if Enough Talk! had no effect.

Edit: Oops. I swear the first post said "does not" when I first read it. My bad.
