Senshi: "Help, help! I'm drowning!"
Shoju: "I'M ON A BOAT MUTHA F*CKA, I'M ON A BOAT!"

Keep in mind, Senshi, the Agasha mindset is decidedly more aggressive/militaristic than your common Phoenix's pacifism (something my character occasionally has to deal with) and the warhawk philosophy is along the lines of the Five Nights of Shame (when the pre-Agasha Phoenix wiped out the Snake Clan,) though we swore to never again go to that extreme, doesn't mean we don't still apply some of the principles.
You make a very valid point about the assassination action, though; I have to confess that.
The Phoenix will sacrifice ourselves to maintain the peace, but given that peace is currently not an option, we sacrifice our pacifistic sensibilites - at least temporarily - to seek a way to end this with a minimum of killing. It is to that end we would contemplate targeted actions (like assassination,) but ignore more widespread devastation options (like poisoning an army's supplies or creating a massive sinkhole under the feet of the opposing army to kill them all.) The latter is what the Council in 402 swore "Never again" to.

And just because "I can swim" doesn't mean "I'm choosing to swim 400 miles down the River of Gold to reach Kyuden Hida when I can build a boat to carry me."

consider this, sojiro, had the scorpion sided with toturi instead of it being the spider or lion, it would have been the spider or crane. I think you shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth. Really, I promise, its not about supporting kaneka. If it was, Haruka and I would be dead and the clan would be supporting kaneka. Its about protecting the empire regardless of the result of this war, and doing the most good.

I can't take you seriously at this moment Senshi, because in my mind you're still swinning after Shoju's boat while he's dancing

Rather than think about it that way, think about it as just a new action to kind of counter governing the city (and vice versa). Well, and kinda other Toturi actions there, but the governing one is about catching criminals and all.
I also like to think of it as somewhat preventable; if one was able to vote more for the other Scorpion options so it wouldn't have been so close (or getting others to vote for one) it probably would have prevented the action from showing up in the first place.
Just my view (2 zeni, etc.)

I do because they didn't die for nothing. The Scorpion did declare for Hantei. If the players (wrongly) believed that would mean the Scorpion would definately be attacking the Lion or some such then that is their own fault. The seppuku thing was only about which side the Scorpion would declare for - not what they would do afterwards. Harsh but true. I probably shouldn't presume to speak for the dead here but I'd imagine that they were hoping that the declaration would determine what actions the Scorpion would take. From what Senshi tells us it would have been the same either way. To die just for a cosmetic declaration is pretty harsh.

I can't take you seriously at this moment Senshi, because in my mind you're still swinning after Shoju's boat while he's dancing And while you laugh, a ninja gets you. It's all part of the cunning plan.

It's all part of the cunning plan. Really? We get to say that? Fist of all, ninja don't exist. Say after me "ninja don't exist", and now go to your room and think in what you have done. -_-; "while you laugh a ninja gets you" sounds like a plan made by the Joker. -_-

We're sorry about the interruption, the ninja who was ninja'ing you, has been ninja'd. The rest of this thread will be brought to you by Badgers.
