My opponent has a Samurai (or a Courtier) involved in an honor loss. Can I play Dirty Politics before he has the chance to commit seppuku?
Seppuku must be done immediately when the Samurai first performs the loss-causing action, gets targeted by it, or (if the honor loss is conditional) makes the decision that will result in the loss. On the other hand, Dirty Politics is not played until immediately before the loss itself happens. The opportunity to commit seppuku will invariably arise first. Remember, when two Reactions respond to two slightly different things, the Reaction to the first thing will always get played before the Reaction to the second thing.
