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.

Quick question that came up today:
If I control Ikoma Ayumu bowed, can I announce Control the Board, straighten Ayumu with his reaction and pay the cost of Control the Board with him?
What about if he's the only personality I have? Does the good faith rule prevents me from doing that?
Thanks,
Javier

Yes, you may do as you describe.
It's actually the Good Faith Rule that ALLOWS you to do so, for it's your intent to, in good faith, bring about a legal sequence of play by usuing Ayumu in Reaction to Control the Board's announcement.
