I wonder who the tyrants are though. Are they those who support the Emperor with a legitimate claim to the throne or are they those who want to trample any dissenting voice through brute force and war, installing a bastard on the throne? It's easy to speak of rights while biting the hand that fed you and protected you. Protecting that hand, helping it to shape the Empire and counseling it through the right path though, is quite another matter. Sometimes I wonder if the Lion isn't simply trying to sate its hunger for the taste of blood while making empty claims of Bushido. I can't help but wonder if those supporting the Shogun aren't simply seeking what's in their best interests instead of seeking what's best for the Empire and its people as a whole.

Has anyone seen where the Crab are? I did a small tour and did not find them. Looks like having Toturi's Army come to the Capitol is needed more than ever. Though I'm sure the Lion will fully be able to fend of the EC and put the hurt on the Capitol at the same time. I'm kind of grumpy about that. We're attacking the Crane supposedly, but we have no actions. That kind of bugs me, but oh well.

Crab has an action in Tidal Landbridge - he can march. I hope he will march quickly.

And thus the wall will fall and taint will spread across the Crab lands.

Bah. I mean, I wasn't really *expecting* Hachi to stay put, but I'd really hoped that would come in at least second. Still, only so much one humble samurai can do.

And thus the wall will fall and taint will spread across the Crab lands. Nonsense. This isn't the first time the Crab have split their forces and marched to war. It won't be the last, either. They've guarded that border for how many centuries? Give them some credit. They know what they're doing.

Who cares about the wall? Let's destroy the whole Empire! After we do that... those from the other side of the wall can come... there will be nothing for them here *smirks* This is what to me... Kaneka's side thinking/doing. But oh well... Crabs are forgetting about their duty - which is protecting the wall. Lions are forgetting about their duty - weren't they a right hand of Hantei or something? Unicorns are forgetting about something... - Yobanjin came to attack our province. Kaneka came and... let's say he kicked their butts. Now he's trying to get them on his side. And Unicorn clan is supporting his side. WHY? And if Yobanjin ask him for land... in return for their union... will he give them our land? I don't understand what we are doing... He is our enemy for dealing with our enemies! You say he protected us... and now what he is doing? And Scorpions... *sulks* They think Kaneka will win and they will try to side with him. Mistake.

And I'm sure that those who remain with Daigotsu will not think to test it. I mean, surely Once you have beaten back an enemy and so brazenly offended them, they will simply go away right? I won't speak for those who remained in the City of the Lost, but logic would say preparedness is key.

I won't speak for those who remained in the City of the Lost, but logic would say preparedness is key. Because kicking your enemy in the teeth and then turning your back to him is, for sure, the smartest thing to do. This civil war will only serve to make the Empire vulnerable and, thus, more prone to spiral into chaos. EDIT: small changes to the text.

Soon, the Scorpion vote will side with us, and the crush of bird bones will be heard from underneath our boots. I'm hating the fact that I don't know the status of the other MCA stances. I want to get a clearer picture of who stands with and against me. Having the Ox, Sparrow, and Badger on our side would be a great boon.

Oh, and in answer to a question about the status of the Scorpion vote, they're now at: Clan | For Hantei | For Toturi | Scorpion | 2111 (44%) | 2620 (55%) |
A lot more votes cast than the last time we checked, but still not decisive in either direction. (The standard I've been going by is, 60% in either direction will result in the clan declaring for that side.) The percentage may not be 60%, Jay, but at 500 votes, that's a serious amount. 500 Votes is a lot of people. That's 50 people single-mastering it. Its not that much. It is also only 7 people burning 70 scorpion favors to jade and emerald mastery (plus one more doing a jade mastery). Hell, Senshi, Haruka, and Kiso together could account for those 500 clicks, we simply do not know. I know I have gone through 35 scorpion favors since our vote was extended. Would you be happy if as little as 3 people decided your clan future?

In Dragon Clan one man decided of Clan future by enormous Favor spending and performing huge campaign behind Daymio's back. So if one man can change something, why three can't?

That's just not the way it happened and we've been through the numbers already... The split in dragon votes was something like 70/30.

Well, we had called a voting stop...and those 3 people do include the Lord and Lady of secrets and a family Daimyo... so setting wise I could easily see it. Mechanically on the other hand is another ball game.
