The Killing Grounds

L5R CCG Rules board, 27 February 2012 to 28 February 2012

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.

We are having a problem agreeing on how The Killing Grounds work. Some of us think that you can pass once, but every time after that you pass you must destroy a personality. Others of us believe that the first person who passes must destroy a personality, but only the first time. How is this card supposed to be played?

"After the first time", as this card is worded, can only happen once.

Does killing grounds affect the first person who passes, or everyone who passes?

I'm not seeing how Jon's answer is in any way ambiguous.
