You can now send gifts to other players via the INTERACT, DYNASTY and HIGH SCORE pages.
Each clan has a different set of gifts they are able to send. Gifts are not taken from your inventory, they represent items and favors you secure for other players due to your influence and wealth.
If you accept a gift, the sender automatically receives a clan favor appropriate to your clan (representing the obligation you incurred by accepting).
The number of gifts you can send or receive per day is limited to your AIR ring.
The INTERACT and DYNASTY pages got a makeover in general, to hopefully look nicer.
Live chat has also been merged to share the same chat channel for the whole world; splitting chat by location seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't think there was enough chatter to justify it.
I've tested the gift-giving features some, but please let me know if you notice any problems with this feature. I like the idea of players being able to give each other gifts (it fits the setting) but am worried about the possibility of abuse.
Hope you all enjoy it, though.

the fact that you must use fate and koku should stop the over abuse i think, lets try it for a few weeks and see!

I personally love the commentary attached to the gifts.. slandering people's enemies, offering some meetings with geisha girls... Opium samplers?
*giggles madly*
This totally wins everything, ever btw. V

I definitely think people should share the funnier ones.
"... sent you a shipment of rice. The rice must flow!"

I totally stole this from one of my earliest playtesters, Hida Ben (Ben Heisler) who GM'd an L5R game for me, Alison and some others. Our mission was to punish peasant rebels without hurting their village so much that it affected the harvest. Naturally the magistrate in charge told us, "The rice must flow!"

It's easy if those who send me gifts are on champions' page... but what if not? I do not know their ID... so can't track them down. Sadly... Is it possible? (I mean to click it and be moved to that page with gifts?)

I'm having a few troubles with the Dynasty page. It won't load for me. Still, when I get it working, I can dole out Monkey Favors to those that want to finish the Kyuden Gotei action that needs them. Very, very sweet addition. Thank you, Jay-sama.

Nice addition Jay! Would it be possible to code it so that you stay on the dynasty page after sending a gift instead of it loading the interact page?

Hum... I think we should refuse twice >.o (I mean, something cool could happens if you refuse same gift from same person twice and them accept it on 3rd attempt of gifting. I have no idea if it is possible to code but... rokugani etiquette suggests so Anyway, I loved the new improvement ^^ *Sharing gifts around*
