Another question for Jay. Once the fighting of the civil war starts will the battle actions be based only on Toturi/Hantei supporter items? My character is not takeing sides based on his philosophy but if the Lion attack the Dragon mountians will I have to go and side with Hentei just to defend my home?

That's not a Crab...that's a space station.

But not like Unicorns, those barbarians... In fact we now know the best moment to move, its really a surprise? Who said that every Unicorn bowed to Kaneka? And... call me a barbarian again... *takes her katana out* We can talk about it, if you really want... Of course the Unicorn numbers count. We just have no way of knowing what those number are. Probably it does - but not every one of us voted for Kaneka. I hope that I am not the only one who refused. P.S. Stop writing those freakin' essays - it's too long to read

Kasumi, for clarification, your clan wasn't given a choice. Everyone COULD choose as an individual, but the Unicorn had to support Kaneka.

Well, the only way they could become a loyalist would be to go to the capital, which requires more effort and likely most non-forum Unicorn will miss that.

Since the battle of mountain watch keep and receiving a rather grevious wound (ooc: i got a little lazy and stopped playing a lot and so Im going to play as a much older character than i previously have), I retired to the halls of my brethren the Ikoma. Sadly it came to pass that it was necessary for Kaneka-sama to remove his brother from the mantle of emperor. Kaneka-sama can revoke his heritage, but he still displays all the qualities of an Akodo. It is for this reason that as a Lion i must support him. We have marched to the same song of our ancient heritage, and we have both continued a tradition of a loyalty to an empire. As in the past as it is today, the Lion will stand with the principle of devotion to our empire. When the 6th Hantei was just a puppet for a gozaku conspiracy, it was we who righted the wrongs our cousins. I understand that my cousins in the phoenix and the crane must do what they feel is right and it is for that reason that i respect them, but i must disagree with them.
For this reason, I call upon my brethren and cousins fighting for the side of the righteous shogun, to remember that it is family we kill for the good of rokugan. It is a sad task that must be done for there is no other method of compromise. We have come too far to consider that option. But a respect for my opponent begs me to say the following. Please lay down your arms my cousins in the crane and phoenix. You may have culture and wealth and political power, but all these things can only be maintained by the sword in desperate times. Something you may be proficient with on a personal basis, but it is we in the lion, the crab, and the unicorn that exist only to be refined as a weapon of great mass. It is our duty to act as a cohesive whole, to overwhelm and destroy without hesitation. It is out of respect and honorable conduct that I must say that while you may have greater numbers, we will certainly do our utmost to change that advantage through any means necessary. The riches of the crane lands may be theirs for awhile, but it will only take a few moments of the lion and crab acting in concert to scorch those lands of the beauty and wealth for which those lands are revered. As a samurai i appreciate the beauty and richness that our brother clans provide to our empire, but i would be lying if i said that i could not live without that beauty. I am Lion and I would rather live in a righteous hell then a tainted heaven.
To my cousins and brethren, if it comes to it, we must do our utmost to destroy supply lines and the effectiveness of our enemy. It is our duty to think as they think. Whether their conduct be honorable of dishonorable we must learn how to counter what methods they bring at us. It is also our duty to make this war end as quickly as possible as our interests are to do what is best for rokugan. To draw a war out would be disasterous for whoever ends up ruling our beloved empire.
To my cousins and friends in the Dragon, I humbly request that you stay in your mountains. It is only a fool who would come searching for you there. Stay there and you will continue your happy existence as a proud and wise clan. If you debase yourself by coming to ground to fight us, we will do our utmost without hesitation to destroy what ever army you bring to bare against us.
To my cousins in the scorpion, you are surrounded on all sides, please consider not only what is best for the empire but also your clan. I understand that in the end the decision is yours, but do not take a union of the mantis, crab, unicorn, and lion lightly. The scorpion has a tradition of doing what it feels is best for the empire. While Bayushi Shoju was misguided, he certainly had the empires best interests at heart when he committed treason. For this he is not to be remebered as a coward, but rather as revered opponent. The scorpion now has the chance to stand on the right side of history to protect the empire from an emperor who is cold and calloused to the needs of his people and his empire.
To the minor clans. Those who bring arms against us will be met in kind. Those who bring arms to us will be clasped as brother. Those who stand aside will be respected. It is your choice and we love you for it.

My poor poor Akodo.
You forgot someone in your speech. I promise, I wont forget you on the battlefield.

At least Utaku Kasumi-san drew her katana instead her scimitar, its something, right?
Akodo Jin-san, I thank you for advice *bows*, but we too have maps and know where we are. And the only fear that moves the heart of the loyal is the fear of be unable to defend his land, his lord and his honor.
Thank you all for your time.

I'll do without your love Shoju-chan. I'd end up covered in slime and smelling of corpse. I'm not Cathrine Zeta-Jones.
