I hear you Senshi, but it doesn't seem right that embarking on Harrier activities should involve trafficking with Spider or shadowlands in any way. The two have no overlap.

I think that in the initial round of voting, the War Council: Advise Crane to Attack the Crab dropped the Anti-Crab plots, but I can't be 100% certain since I didn't pick that option myself.

Me neither, since I tend to like the Crab and appreciate what they do when it doesn't involve invading the Crane.

I think more readily available bamboo would be pretty sweet. As would a use for my anti-crane plots. Perhaps diminish Crane influence in the courts or some such...
As for the Monkey, I am very happy. I am surprised at how close it was but very, very well done Hirotomo! I am doubly impressed because you didn't over-vote. You voted enough to master and then said "let the chips fall where they may". Very brave of you and it represents Hirotomo listening to his advisors and family. Glad it paid off!
Finally the Scorpion vote. I am personally pleased and hope the Crab decide to work with the Scorpion.
However, Hime right now is more... well... heh... in the words of Monty Burns... "excellent" *does the evil hands together thing*
Yes, Hime is very happy now that a choice like that was so well voted for. How pleasant that such an ingenius idea passed. Well done Senshi ^_-

It's interesting how universally popular the Scorpion's decision is with the pro-Toturi side, their ostensible "enemies".

It's not a surprise though, since it was largely orchestrated by "former" Toturi supporters in the Scorpion. And about the choice, well, between Toturi and Daigotsu, I prefer Hantei ;D But, to be quite frank, Daigotsu would, at least, make for an interesting storyline. Kaneka is just "meh", the guy doesn't even know how to cut his own hair

I think we would have been happier if the Crab hadn't abandoned their duty in the first place.

Obviously Kaneka would make a better Emperor than Daigotsu.
But I'd argue that Kaneka is a way, way more serious threat to the Emperor than Daigotsu, at least in the medium term. Both Kaneka and Daigotsu aspire to overthrow the rightful Emperor. It'd be worse if Daigotsu succeeded, but Daigotsu is a helluva long way from succeeding, while Kaneka is very close.
I agree with Manji, it seems like this option is basically just a way for the Scorpion to avoid the consequences of the pro-Hantei vote. I suppose it's better to have them indirectly helping the Crab attack the Crane than it is to have them directly attack the Crane themselves, but still, if I was one of the Scorpion players who committed seppuku in order to support the Hantei, I'd be feeling pretty brassed off.

It was our plan to go south, wouldn't have mattered which Emperor that clan backed. Jay-sama hadn't realized our internal process had changed our agenda before he had put in the seppuku option.

Well, that's how the vote went. Some people made sure they were heard in court. The people who voted would be annoyed too if they were not listened to.

I don't think it's hard to see the disparity between "my votes failed" and "the character I had spent all sorts of time on died for nothing."

Arguably, the cost of voting is quite smaller than that of sepping your character. I kind of wish it would have made a real difference. I know I've had a rough time building up a new character from scratch to get back into the war (those 40+ skill requirements are nothing once you're level 80 and over, but try to beat them when you're level 30). What I find sad is that it would probably have taken one or two high-ranked characters on the Toturi side to switch the vote, considering the Glory levels of high ranking Scorpion. None of them chose to do so. I'm glad Jay could take into account the "internal process" of the Scorpion Clan, but it's not like they could have done it themselves... Anyway, players voted and you can't just ignore their vote now. I for one am glad Jay is reflecting the very narrow majority by adding the assassination mission in Toshi Ranbo (it drops Scorpion favours by the way ).
