10/11/2011: Assigning Blame

[Jay Luo]

The Hantei and the Crane have retreated to Kyuden Otomo, where courtiers are bitterly arguing over who is to blame for the loss of the capital.

Imperial forces are cheering at the arrival of the Phoenix in Permission City, but their generals are divided over who should assume supreme command of the unified force.

Meanwhile, the Lion have largely pacified Toshi Ranbo and are planning their next moves.

[Shoju]

Very interesting developments.

[Suzume Satoru]

Fun fun!

If I were the Emerald Champ, I'd actually try to keep the Lion forces pinned down in Toshi Ranbo. Let the Phoenix cleanse the city with fire and allow the Crane to regroup.

That would also keep those lion forces away from the Dragon. If the Emerald champ heads toward Kaneka, the Lion would be free to follow and thus create the strong possibility of pinning the Phoenix, Dragon, and the Em Champ between the Lion, Unicorn, and Kaneka. Game over. Or the Lion would then be free to press the advantage against the Crane before they have a chance to recover, and have a good chance of capturing Naseru. Game Over.

The Em Champ and the Phoenix being where they are keeps the Lion force in Toshi Ranbo and away from the Crane and the Dragon.

But that's just me, and I'm neutral. Also I think Kaneka and Naseru need to be spanked by an angry, wizened, school nun for their idiocy.

[Shosuro Aroru]

...Lots of new voting actions, hopefully this means the Scorpion vote will be ending rather soon then. The Scorpion have two different votes going on in Kyuden Bayushi. Hantei have votes going on in Kyuden Bayushi, Permission City, Castle of the Swift Sword, Kyuden Otomo and a battle in Seawatch Castle. Kaneka have a vote in Toshi Ronbo and a battle in Seawatch Castle. That's really spreading things kind of thin for the Hantei side on this. Ending some of those older votes would be nice.

[Enishi]

Technically, the Phoenix Champion doesn't even support the Hantei, so I find it pretty funny that he would argue for leadership of our forces. Unless Kazuma recanted and I missed it

[Akodo Tomatsu]

No hes a fan of Toturi as far as I know, but as others have done in the past, just because you don't believe in the cause doesn't mean you can't do your duty.

[Zeure]

I'm excited that there is a new command post. I must say the Lion are handling this very well. I'm happy to see they arn't already lashing out at another location. It's good to secure your occupation first. The Daidoji need to get their stuff together though, or their going to have too many people over running them real real quick.

I agree with the above that it would make the most sense for the Phoenix Champ to deny support according to history, but this might be a chance for a new direction. Perhaps the Phoenix Champ feels that, since it hasn't been handled properly before them, it might be their time. It makes sense in the Phoenix philosophy that if they could command well, they might save lives, fitting with the pacifist tendencies of the Phoenix.

[Daidoji Fitsu]

I'm sure the Daidoji would love to do that, just like they'd love a battle that had a tactical aspect to it. Since we don't we will continue to click madly at he options we are presented with minimal complaint.

[Yasuki Chad]

I would ask that we Hantei-supporters do not do the assigning blame mission. It detracts from real war actions to no real gain. Better to do the Retraining mission and kick more mantis in the teeth at Seawatch.

That is all.

[Daidoji Fitsu]

Agreed Yasuki-san. We in the crane private forum are largely of the same disposition.

[Asahina Yukihime]

Just have to agree with Aroru-san. Pro-Hantei forces are spread as people have too maaany options to hunt for tokens.

I know a lot of people are happy to have tokens, I should be too. But I'm only going to wave at those Kyuden Otomo tokens as they passes by. Totally disagree with blaming our (supposed) allies.

[Akodo Kenzo]

I noticed that there's also a job to train "replacements" in Kyuden Otomo for the Hantei supporters. Are Toturi supporters getting an equivalent? I haven't seen any, but maybe I'm just missing something.

[Kakita Sojiro]

Why are those even an option? Who in their right mind is going to waste time and fate to purposly cause discord and bitterness between allies when they can instead actually be doing something that has an effect on the war? Those options even being there is just stupid - how about instead of giving us the chance to bicker amongst ourselves to no benefit, you give the Hantei forces options that drop scouts and scouting reports at a decent rate, or amybe an option that actually uses the Battle skill in a tactical way against the Kaneka forces?

This is silly, and kind of ridiculous.

[Asahina Yukihime]

People seeking tokens will do it.

Courtiers are known for sometimes doing silly, unproductive things. An unkind soul might say that's all they do. I don't understand why you're upset about scouts and scouting reports, though. The best options for getting both, that I'm aware of anyway, are faction-neutral.
