Mysterious emissaries have arrived at both Imperial Court and the court of the self-proclaimed Toturi the 3rd, asking for recognition of the sinister Spider Clan. Courtiers in both courts are debating how to reply to this audacious demand.
Meanwhile, the Unicorn and Crab clans have also begun talks with matchmakers in Shiro Ide and Face of the East Castle, and there are rumors that the Shogun's agents are negotiating with the Yobanjin.

Ha! I spent forever grinding for flattery to do the gather strength option, and now have over 80 slander.
I'm wondering if Mountain watch keep will get its own forum along the same lines as the Imperial Court, or if I should start throwing in with the goings-on in Shiro Moto.

Jay-sama.
How long do you plan this stage of the actions to take? I ask for 2 reasons.
1.) I don't want to farm too long, and end up not being able to turn in. 2.) I'm looking for a timeline on when we know the fate of our actions.

I think it might depend on whether the advise is to attack quickly or build forces. And even then, (the real fun) what side wins the throne... oh this is a delicious vote. You might vote for nothing in the long run.

No, I'm speaking purely about the allow spider aid, or kill the courtier. i would imagine that needs wrapped up before the rest, or at least I hope so.

I LOL'd. I am deeply sorry Shoju, but since the vote is now up in the air, I might have to kill you. It's the honorable thing to do. I originally thought that we would have to team up to make the defense, but this puts a new spin on things. And double LOL on the Shogun and his agents negotiating with the Yobanjin. Weren't we just discussing this the other day? Excellent work Jay! edit: the "Lobby to execute the Spider emissary" job drops you a nice "Sworn Enemy: Daigotsu" for mastery. Sweet.

(Shoju, I was refering to the length of spider voting possibly determined by whether the armies move or gather forces....) I'm really tempted to vote in favor of the spider if the court of Hantei votes against the spider. Just to put Shoju between a rock and a hard place. =)

With regard to negotiating with the Yobanjin, are there actually going to be many people that both support Kaneka and have a retainer? The Yobanjin Retainer requirement is sensible on its face, but with combined with the requirement to not be a Hantei Supporter, it gets a little murky. My reasoning is as follows: - The people who are Toturi supporters are also likely people who chose to do the job to support the Shogun back at MWK, as opposed to advising him to submit.
- The job to support him required Yobanjin heads as a cost element.
- With the battle over, the only way to get more Yobanjin heads was to execute the prisoners.
- Executing the prisoners means not having a retainer.
I'm not advocating the job requirements be changed. As I said, I think they make sense on their face. I'd just be curious to hear how many people out there can actually meet both prerequisites for the job. I know I can't.
