Yes, I agree with you, but the Lion seems as popular as the Crane here to me. And it's still kinda impressive, at least to me, that a single player can have so much weight in the decisions (which was earned, since they are all really high level).
Personally, if I weren't playing with Manji now I would be either a Crab or a Spider (just for lolz).

The apparent popularity of the Lion is pretty surprising to me. We don't typically fare well in inter-clan competitions (e.g. the Scorpion diplomat, Winter Court lobbying, etc). Maybe it's a recent development?

Yes Ryumon, I agree. Now that the Mantis went south after Seawatch Castle, Kyuden Otomo and Kyuden Seppun are the safest places to go. At least temporarily. Kyuden Otomo seems like a logical choice. We have the Swords of Yotsu there.

yea i was surprised about the lion too as far as the universe goes the only real positive lion figures in the history are akodo and toturi. Everyone else was just a huge lumbering buttface that only thought of killing those who disagreed with them. My own personal feeling is that the crane are lifted high and made out to be the best seeing as to why you see so many crane players. I also think that the more martial clans getting the easier requirements made me happy because there had to be some method of representing our predilictions over our more peaceful cousins in other clans. All in all im surprised to see a majority in toturi favor as i find most individuals i interact with on the boards are pro-hantei. Anywhos so far its a good game but if this whole civil conflict continues i only see the likely event of the player base becoming split entirely and grumpy at each other. Anyway im sure jay will find a solution

I really would have liked to see the Battle skill used as some sort of factor somewhere. I don't think we all spent so much time investing in it just for Go competitions that are tallied and forgotten. I'm glad those battles are over though, even if I'm less pleased with the results.

I read the first line of your post before looking at your name. My immediate thought: This is Fitsu isn't it *scroll scroll* yup. Yup it is.

I can accept that we were beat by vastly superiors numbers, but the location blurb says it was superior tactics or strategy. I dont recall that being measured is all I am saying. :-)

Akodo Kage was a Kolat agent who masterminded Toturi's rise to power that took a Hantei of the throne (or at least was a major part of that consipiracy), Ginawa murdered his master and made ronin, and for nimuro his great failing was the egg of p'an ku. Forced to kill his own friend kitsu juri and become a ronin. Thus far the only character whose reputation and station was not soiled is Domotai and thats cause he committed seppeku rather than serve an evil master. But yes you have proven me wrong

Ginawa's was a story of redemption, Nimuro's was of sacrifice. These are certainly worthy of a hero status in any clan. Every great character has flaws, it's part and parcel to becoming great.

Fully agreed. I also liked Ikoma Otemi on this, even though he looked mor like an archetypical hero at the beginning. As regards the battle, may I suggest a safer place for the Righteous Emperor's court to relocate, for example into the Phoenix lands? With all the Mantis and Lions nearby, Kyuden Otomo doesn't look like so safe a choice anymore... Hiryu, Hantei supporter

Hiryu you're a Hantei supporter? Why did you try to assassinate the ambassador in the first place? ;D

I really feel like the only Unicorn clicking for Hantei... O.o Anyway - guys, getting Taisa costs FIVE brilliant victories, not 10, so don't cry Fitsu - I'd love to see actions that I can use my battle skill on! This is war, right? So why there are no actions for battle? I feel like battling at the court mostly with this whole war now... really :S

It was a tough battle for both sides, and everybody can be proud of him/herself. The pro Toturi faction won a battle against a really solid resisntance - as the numbers suggest it. Personally I'm happy it wasn't an easy win, because that would have made it less glorious.
The pro Hantei faction defeated us in Permission city - which makes me sad, but our aim was albeit the capital - and retreating in coordinated order. This means to me the moves of a well-trained enemy.
Great job Jay, thanks for coordinating it!
