Rules for 24 December 2001
A rules digest from the L5R CCG rules team, copied from the mailing list archive for Oracle of the Void. The askers' names are left out. Rulings are as they stood on this date; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Greetings,
New Card Ideas
If card ideas can't be posted on this list without the risk of them never seeing print then where would people submit thier ideas to AEG for consideration?
Directly to Jeff Alexander or Dave Williams (who probably both have their e-mail addresses "closed" for the hols), with the following legal text:
"I, ______________, understand and agree to the following terms:
"Unsolicited artwork, story lines, character developments and other intellectual property (collectively "work") received by AEG is considered a gift of all the donor's rights, title and interest in and to the Work (including copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights) which Work is given to AEG for no consideration, and becomes the property of AEG. AEG is in no way responsible to pay any transfer fees, licensing fees, royalties or any other consideration to the donor.
"Based on the above understanding, I hereby submit the enclosed Work."

But before Zen beats me badly, I'll further correct myself. He's right, I just didn't read far enough. I'm gonna go sit in the doghouse now.
Pfffft. That's hardly in the holiday spirit. Come out and have my share of the eggnog. :)
Senseis in Gold?
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Plain text, please!
Will we ever see any Gold legal Senseis?
Maybe. Maybe not. (That there haven't been any in two expansions suggests, "Not.")
Faction Populations
Out of the Nine Gold Legal Factions(Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Ratlings, Scorpion, Shadowlands, Unicorn) and not counting bandwagoning,
Hey, bandwagoners are people, too! ;)
which Faction has the most players? Which has the least? What would the order be, going from most to least?
Dragon (according to information published in the Herald a year or two ago). Ratling. Unknown, especially since the release of Gold Edition, although before that the expansion clans had far fewer supporters than those factions that are now in Gold Edition (which is not coincidence).

what happens if that opponent has one personality with no followers attached, and that personality has had Inner Fire played on them in this battle. When Stand... is played, no targetting occurs - there is no-one who can be targetted, so surely Reactions like Flee... cannot be used?
Looking at Jeff's post again, I see I missed his parenthetic qualifer "(or attempts to)." I'll update the Archive entry accordingly.
Yu-Pan and ISotF
[H]ow is Yu-pan's force bonus "reapplied?"
She gains her bonus when in an army (card text). She could not gain a new bonus unless she completely stopped being part of any army, by leaving all battles (e.g., going home).
Also, how long is In Search of the Future's duration?
Pg 43, An Oni's Fury rules (in bold type even!): End of turn.
Battle Action Question
This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.
Wow, that little message neatly sums up why I dislike MIME so much. But I'd rather not read it again. Please make "post in plain text" a New's Year's Resolution!
I declare an attack against someone, and assign NO units whatsoever. At a battle, can I play Mushin?
Nope. No presence, no actions (pg. 53, An Oni's Fury rules).
In both my official languages: Merry Christmas. Joyeux Noel.
