[Ruling] Conflict Declaration timing

By Bayushi Shunsuke, in L5R LCG: Rules Discussion

The following cards: Tengu Sensei, Kituski Yuikimi, midnight revels, Shiro Kitsuki, and Trusted Advisor are they all in the same timing?

Meaning if Kituski Yuikimi hits a Midnight Revels is it whoever has first player token gets to basically win that interaction?

Or are the reactions all at different time periods like when covert happens tengu sensei goes off when the fate is grabbed Kituski Yuikimi and trusted advisor go off.

In other words, I'm trying to figure out how the timing exactly goes for those cards, if they are streamed lined in the same reaction window or if they all over the place.

The next Rules Reference will explicitly call out covert, but covert happens before the province is revealed/engaged. Everything else happens at the same time. So:

Framework: Declare attackers (and covert), province, ring, type.
Reaction: Covert initiates & resolves (Tengu Sensei)
Framework: Above declarations simultaneously engage. Reveal engaged province.
Reactions: Attackers declared, province revealed/engaged (Midnight Revels), ring becomes contested (Yuikimi & Trusted Advisor), conflict declared (Shiro Kitsuki)

All of the above reactions trigger one-at-a-time back and forth between the players, starting with the first player (as with any reaction window).
