Kakita Furegami vs Justly Earned Victory

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.

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I searched and could not find anything.

Does Kakita Furegami's "Set his force to 0" ability count as a force penalty as far as Justly Earned Victory is concerned?

Cheers

Yes, it is a penalty if the target's Force was above 0 when it was "set to 0".

Setting stats to a value is done by giving it an appropriate bonus or penalty (see here).
