The Imperial Court has appointed Asako Izuko, a Phoenix courtier, Imperial Ambassador to the Scorpion Clan. It is hoped that her wisdom and grace will win the friendship of the Scorpion for the Hantei. Meanwhile, in Mountain Watch Keep, the self-proclaimed Toturi the 3rd has named Ide Chang, a Unicorn diplomat, as his emissary to the Scorpion. Despite the uncertainty on which side the Scorpion Clan will support, Scorpion generals are nevertheless preparing for war at Seven Stings Keep, making contingency plans for both possibilities. Also, a decision on the fate of the Spider emissaries at court is expected shortly. ---- The following votes have finished up: Should Hantei/Toturi's forces march immediately on the enemy, or gather strength first?Side | For Immediate March | For Gathering Strength | Toturi | 2956 (41%) | 4099 (58%) | Hantei | 2416 (38%) | 3919 (61%) |
Both sides seem more inclined to gather their strength before launching into all-out war.... Who shall be sent as Imperial Ambassador to the Scorpion?Crane Ambassador | 1730 (30%) | Dragon Ambassador | 1660 (29%) | Phoenix Ambassador | 1777 (31%) | Seppun Ambassador | 511 (8%) |
Who shall be sent as Toturi's emissary to the Scorpion?Crab Emissary | 860 (22%) | Lion Emissary | 1164 (30%) | Mantis Emissary | 557 (14%) | Unicorn Emissary | 1294 (33%) |

47 votes... WoW. Emeralding the Phoenix vote was a good idea, So was not giving into the temptation of mastering the others at all

Librarian was harder to get. Still, a good fight put up for the Lion, and the Crane almost had it. I suppose the ramifications of this will slowly become apparent.

Yeah, Librarian was rough, but I'm not going to blame that. I chose to devote my energies to other pursuits after getting to emerald on the ambassador lobby. It would have been nice to get a chance to show that the Lion can be diplomats in addition to warriors, but c'est la vie.

I am very happy there is no crane in our courts, and I welcome Haruka-samas former clansmen.

Not sure if I'm posting on the proper topic but... as it concerns to Asako-sama's travel: The short quest "Imperial Ambassador" was really nicely done. Great storyline, imo. ^_^ It was fun to read through such a "dramatic" travel But is kinda sad that shugenja doesn't gain honor by calling air kami. I understand shugenja are not the most glorious samurais but, dunno, they should get some honor for doing (when well done) what they are supposed to do (casting spell), as the bushi gets honor and glory by doing what they are supposed to do (iaijutsu in this case).

I am more encouraged by the fact that in the "gather strength vote" Toturi's forces out voted the Hantei. | Total Votes | Toturi | 7,055 | Hantei | 6,335 | Difference of | 720 |

I'm guessing Isuko-san and Chang-san are NPCs? The names don't sound familiar.

Now, Akodo Keisuke-sama, count the Ambassador votes . I will take my victories were I can get them besides the cost and requirements for some of the Ambassador votes were a little out of the depths for some clans. ie Court Attendants and Librarians are not exactly standard issue for Crab, Mantis and Lion players.
