Impatient to claim his throne, Toturi the 3rd has decamped from Mountain Watch Keep and is marching east. Meanwhile, a Dragon army is descending the Great Climb to Kyuden Tonbo, apparently to intervene in the ongoing civil war. Also, the votes on Mantis and Phoenix strategy, as well as the outcome of the Scorpion drama in Imperial Court, will be determined soonish (~1 week). ---- Here are the totals from the Toturi and Dragon votes: Toturi's War CouncilActions advising Toturi to attack the Scorpion | 1340 (20%) | Actions advising Toturi to attack the Dragon | 1394 (21%) | Actions advising Toturi to reinforce the Lion | 3724 (57%) |
Dragon War CouncilActions advising Dragon to attack the Lion | 1756 (42%) | Actions advising Dragon to reinforce Yasuki Hachi | 1437 (34%) | Actions advising Dragon to Defend the Mountains | 915 (22%) |
The map is getting pretty crowded with armies in the center. I expect this will sort itself out in the traditional way, though!

At one point I was worried about the Toturi's War Council vote, the vote was not even close.

Great job again Jay-sama!
Still, I must ask you, although it makes every sense storywise, don't you think the Dragonfly favors to the Dragon "Requisition Supplies" action are a bit too much?
I ask this because the previous Dragon action already had one item with a rare drop rate (i.e. riddle) and the dragonfly favor is even more difficult to come by, since it has only one mission that drop it (and that happens in rare occasions). Couldn't these favors be exchanged by another item that would make sense but isn't so rare?
I could make suggestions, but since I don't know if you will agree with my idea, I prefer to post it first. Thanks again for your work and for listening to us. ;D

You know I think JAy probably anticipates the "Make this mission require an easier drop" complaints before every update... maybe we should just take them as read and leave it be...

Yes, I know and understand, which is why I usually refrain from this kind of comment. Still, this time I felt it was important to do it (although by no means I claim to be the "bearer of the truth"). I apologize if I, in any moment, sounded like I was just echoing past, tired complaints from other people. It was sincerely not my intention.
*humble bow*

Well, I know a certain Clan that will be getting many sent goods. It's good to be the Tonbo at the moment. I've been wondering once the Mantis vote happens, what will the Tsuruichi will do. They are not the seafaring type usually. I'd have to check the map, but I'm not sure if they even have water on their boarders. They could always get to the Crane through my lands I suppose.

The Tsuruchi don't have any sea border.
The Monkey are officially neutral.

Manji-san, it seems to me that the Tonbo family is being more generous with favors in this time of conflict, apparently hoping to curry favor with the Great Clans in providing protection from the ravages of war.
OOC: It seems like the Dragonfly favors are dropping more often than they did before.

However the Monkey Clan Champion is not neutral he has been fighting with us at Toshi Ranbo.
Looking at the map I think through Toku Torid-e, is the only way for the Tsuruchi to go.

The Monkey Clan Champion may be doing just that, but in the actual FB game not the boards, the Monkey are not committed to either side. Jay has been very clear on this.

The Monkey Clan Champion may be doing just that, but in the actual FB game not the boards, the Monkey are not committed to either side. Jay has been very clear on this. Well in an effort to be more precise: Some overall comments: Minor Clans: * I haven't put in a way for minor clans to declare for either side yet, as I figure (a) their relative force is small compared to that of a Great Clan and (b) choosing wrong might be survivable for a Great Clan, but could result in annihilation for a minor clan. However, if any minor clan samurai feel strongly that they would like to pledge the lives and sacred fortunes of their clan towards one side or another, I'll certainly consider it. But if they remain neutral the Mantis will be able to march through Toku Torid-e unopposed in either case, because not allowing the Mantis march to war would be the same as declaring for the Hantei.
