You say that Manji, but obviously Senshi feels differently, and is urging Scorpion to vote for the Crab option on the basis that it isn't contributing to the Civil War.
I wonder if Jay can clarify this? Obviously I don't get a vote but I think a lot of the Scorpion players voting may be under a misapprehension one way or another. If the Scorpion do vote for option #3 will we be seeing Scorpion attacks on Crab lands, no matter what their ultimate goal is, or will it be a cooperative thing?

As Jay explained it to me, the crab will have a chance to retaliate if the Scorpion move in. So again I ask my Crab friends to please let us in :3 pretty pretty please? We have beautiful women we can bribe you with...

So there will be some kinda Crab vote, do we let the Scorps occupy our lands without resist or do we fight back?

I don't know what the crab will get exactly, but "there will be hoops to jump through."

Those are excellent reasons, Senshi-sama, and very convincing in character from a Scorpion point of view; I think no one would dare blame you for advocating them. I think however the general context supports other positions and interpretations that have been presented. One could argue for example that the Crane, while certainly glad you won't take Three Sides River from them, stand nothing to gain from that if the Crab crush them anyway - which is happening right now. I'm sure no one would be surprised if some Crane misinterpreted your strategy as "taking some pressure off the Crab so that they have time to finish off the Crane clan". Maybe none will see it this way though, it's not for me to say. In any case, no one here is trying to tell you what you should do, or at least I hope no one is. The voting thing will decide what the Scorpion clan will do, and as for your character's action, they are ultimately yours to decide. I'm of the opinion that Clan champions should go the extra mile to match the facebook game results, but even that is subject for debate and just personal opinion (your post in the other section on that matter is very interesting by the way). That being said, I keep having a mental picture of Senshi ending a powerpoint presentation at the Toshi Ranbo war council with "... and so you can clearly see that my strategy is full of win. Thank you for your attention and if you have any question...", with generals and daimyos from other clans glaring at him  |

lol, this is why I haven't had Senshi make an IC post about the course of action for the scorpion clan. I even stopped posting in an rp thread about the spider's attack on the crab because I knew a different result may happen. I learned my lesson the hard way from before.

The Scorpion aren't the only clan who have the option of avoiding the main conflict. The Crab could have chosen to stay on the wall; the Dragon could have chosen to stay in their mountains; the Phoenix and the Mantis could have gone to war with each other.
With some Scorpion leaders wanting to support Kaneka, but unable to take their clan with them, declaring for Hantei and then rushing to the wall seems a very "Scorpion" solution to the problem.

I'm sure no one would be surprised if some Crane misinterpreted your strategy as "taking some pressure off the Crab so that they have time to finish off the Crane clan". Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how it's being interpreted across the board. |
