Does the Timing Rule apply to mandatory effects, continuous effects, or reactions to another player's action?

Question

Accepted Answer

It depends. In a 2013 draft for the Cosmodex, the designer says the Timing Conflicts rule applies when both players want to go first, or when both want to go second and both effects are mandatory. If one effect is optional, that player can simply wait and the rule does not apply. This is a draft, not a final ruling.
