The self-proclaimed Toturi the 3rd has called a council of his supporters in Mountain Watch Keep to discuss the best deployment of Toturi's Army. Meanwhile, the Tamori daimyo appears to have assumed control of the Dragon Clan, and has invited Hantei supporters in the Dragon provinces to attend him in Shiro Tamori. And in the Court of Daigotsu, the Spider seethe at the mistreatment of their envoys.

Jay,
Thank you again for the wonderful story your are building. If I may make a small suggestion though. The Hantei supporter Dragon mission requires Riddles, perhaps one of the most difficult info drops to find currently in game, while the Toturi III mission requires Rumors and Scouting Reports, both are fairly easily attainable and rarely require a commodity to drop.
If it is your intent to off balance the voting between what Toturi's Council Does and What the Dragon Clan Council does, then it is my belief that you will succeed in doing so.
If it wasn't your intent, might I humbly suggest that you alter the resource to one that is more equally found in EE to rumors/scouting reports.
Regards, Moyotoshi

I have zero riddles with me at the moment. I can't do anything at my own meeting. LOL. Off to farming. ;D @moyotoshi - I don't see that the Dragon jobs have to balance with the new jobs at MWK. Even if they do their jobs more than us, it doesn't mean that they would succeed over us. Having riddles means that only a few people might cast their votes on what the Dragon should do. Guess I'm just saying that the two jobs are exclusive of each other and don't really affect the other.

Koichi-san,
You do have a valid point. It's more the principle of the matter. The jobs that drop riddles tend to both be high fate point costed as well as requiring another item as a cost (usually a clue).
Back to the Temple of Osano-wo... At least tending to the Gardens only costs 17 fate and doesn't need some other farming resource.

Moyotoshi-San,
I share your thoughts and pain on the riddle situation. I have found an agreeable place to find them is in Tetsu-Kama Mura. The investigation of missing persons yeilds the riddles that we need for 12 fate and no loss of glory.
I share your hope that the resource may yet change however.
Haru

Moyotoshi-san, On that aspect I will agree with you. Theirs is a cakewalk while ours is painful trek in the mountains. But it is actually fitting for a Dragon job if you think about it. I trust that Jay will listen to all opinions on the matter and do what is appropriate.

I understand, I'm back to farming slander or flattery..... Thank god I think my choice is slander based this time. I don't know if I could farm more flattery and keep my sanity.

Regarding the various Dragon Council actions, the count for each of them will only be compared with the count for other Dragon Council actions. So it should essentially be equally difficult for all of them.
I realize riddles are a somewhat more obscure item than most, but it seemed...fitting....for the Dragon to decide things in this way.

Jay... I think it's a bit odd for all Dragon's actions to cost riddles. It's hard to get... and Toturi's side has all required items easy to get. Are you favoring Toturi's side, he? *sulks*

For the record, I personally think the tamori jobs are fantastic. Great flair. Great flavor.
The problem is three fold:
1.) Currently Riddles are a high fate / low return item. 2.) There is no where nearby to get riddles. 3.) They weren't falling off trees before this event took place, and I would assume most noble players spent them on plague research.

Kasumi-sama, sincerely, until the day I saw Toturi's banner on Jay's character back I was nearly certain that Jay silently favors the Hantei.

Shigekazu,
Jay has had..... tons of characters. he favors neither side. He is the game developer. he kills characters and creates new ones often to check and test features. I know I have had him as a friend for ~8 months, and have probably seen 8 characters.
He doesn't side with one side or another. He is the GM, the man, the guy running the show. There is no favortism. His characters are just his way to test things.

Riddles certainly have some dragon flavor...
Warning to Tainted mofos like me, the spider job counceling war gives Anti-Crab plot. If you're a Tainted crab like me, think about it.... Got the first few on sheer surprise... I'm tainted but the wall is MY wall.

well, exactly where do you think the spider would attack if NOT the wall Besides, if things go well, it would still be your wall afterward, we'd just need to make it so it guards the other way
