Jin-san makes some very good points, but just for accuracy's sake: the Lion didn't do what was best for the Empire during the Clan War era, they blindly followed a super tainty Emporer all the way to the end, at which point their champion Matsu Tsuko performed the three cuts. Their was no Lion represented in the 7 thunders' battle with Fu Leng, because Toturi had been a ronin for years by then.

Yea, Fitsu's right. Although you could argue that the Lion have "learnt the lesson" of the Clan War. But the "we do what's right for the Empire even if it's not what the Emperor wants" is more of a Scorpion thing than a Lion thing.

The Unicorn were also the champions of the common people for a while.
On the original topic: The original Crane Champion rarely posted desired courses of action, and then sort of disappeared all together. We drifted without direction for a bit with all our Daimyo essentially ignoring the rp side of things. Thanks largely to Mitsouko's efforts we redistributed the roles amongst people with the desire to actively fill them and the characters to back them.
Those who remember when this civil war started will recall that I was originally a supporter of Toturi. When the Crane discussed it I decided to argue on his behalf. The trouble was, I couldn't come up with what I considered a convincing argument. When the option came to change my loyalty to the Hantei I did immediately, and have never regretted doing so. Since I have become the acting regent of the Crane, we have done things in a mostly democratic fashion with discussion and internal polls, largely facilitated by the Daimyo. I don't think anyone there follows what I say blindly, nor do I expect them to.

Going by your hair I cant tell if your power level went over 9000 or you simply licked a light socket... Actually, Hisa, I think he put his hand in the light socket AND his power is over 9000. ;D

Their was no Lion represented in the 7 thunders' battle with Fu Leng, because Toturi had been a ronin for years by then. Well he was Akodo Toturi and ofc he is the hero of the story. He surpassed the clan and became the emporer. In the end, it was a lion that took the throne and became emporer. It's fitting since Akodo was second only to Hantei, if memory serves...

From an entirely revisionist standpoint, sure. For those of us playing at the time we remember a distinctly *not Lion* Toturi's Army and a character who was ronin for the entirety of the story arc, with only a little background saying he was once Lion. Not to mention the *actual Lion* doing all sorts of uspeakable things in the name of a tainted Emporer. Also, the story was equally belonging to all 7 Thunders and Shinsei, Toturi didn't come close to beating Fu Leng alone.

Fitsu is correct Totrui's army got the credit for the victory. The next stronghold Toturi's army got was The Palace of Otosan-Uchi Toturi's card in the CCG even said he was not a member of the Lion Clan. Trust me at the time it was quite disappointing for us Lion clan players to have won the Day of Thunder tournament and watch the prize go to the Totrui's army.
