That's a nice imperial bride you have there. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to her...

...Unfortunately you've already voted yourself out of every battle. If you wish to help yourself win the war the crab/scorpion battle is your only option.

It's more like finding a deal that works for both. Not exactly a trust issue, imo. I mean, trust is secondary when there is a higher interest involved, like game theory. I would really like to have the Interact chat option back to the clicking game now Please? I don't think the war will be lost if this Crab/Scorpion battle is lost... but who knows?

That being said, you have to then also feel pissed off for everyone else who spent all that time clicking and didn't win.. I mean it's only like this every other time we vote on a battle.. or a bride.. or anything.
*glances over and notices it's a day that ends in y....*
Besides, nothing is automatic, nothing is for sure and you never know how scores will affect how the story may turn.
I'm just hoping some more of the battles might conclude. And see the Spider actually win one.. of all things that would probably make my day. Conquest for the throne was never done in cannon, I wonder how it'll play out in the end *crosses fingers and toes hoping for an end..*

I understand how you feel Zeure. But realize that this is the result of individual players feeling. Anyone with a high investigation can stop this but they have to want to.

@haruka, I don't really find the two thoughts to be the same train. Not winning a massive vote is bad because there were just more people that wanted something else. I can live with that. ONE person taking that away from those that won, the very day after it was announced that she won, is not cool. quarim, you're right, but there would also have to be someone of sufficient skill to do so. There are only so many classes that have investigation as a class skill and only so many people would have put points into it. A 700 is hard to beat just on the fly. As you well know from your time trying to topple Koichi in the white orchid, and you STARTED high. Just sayin'.

Look at it this way, the Scorpion worked hard to get the Great Trade Route to come through Crab and Scorpion territory...but through the development of the storyline it bled over into Three Sides River (Crane Territory)
I gotta tell you I was not happy about that either and while I realize its not exactly the same situation, just remember that while our votes may influence the direction of the various story arcs, it will not dictate events that may spring up because of it.

ONE person taking that away from those that won, the very day after it was announced that she won, is not cool. Votes are only to decide specif actions/developments which influence the storyline. The vote was not to choose an empress but to get Hantei to choose a wife, not to marry her, not to be happy with her, not to produce heirs. It was a political contest to make him choose a bride by taking into account the "preassure" of the court. For example: A Clan may yet change sides to/from Kaneka's camp despite the earlier vote it it fits the storyline and makes for an interesting development. Who knows maybe it's Hantei himself that wants her dead...

The big problem that I have with the vote, is that the defense of the Crane Bride is Investigation, a Skill that Cranes don't get as a class skill, and as such.... The Crane Clan had no chance to save their own bride, while the clan with the 2nd place bride has investigation as a class skill, and....
well it's pretty obvious that they aren't going to save her.
I think that the crane defense action should have been something besides investigation. Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, Something like that.

Shoju makes an interesting point that hadn't even occured to me. I will note that Doji Magistrates have Investigation as a school skill, but are a sufficiently recent that even a person changing to that school would have had to have been sitting on a bank of points at point of change to compete significantly against the current assassination score.
I can say, however, that in comparing Investigation to my blade skills (even though I left the Crane 25 levels ago, and was not the most diligent student), such a shift in skill choice would have made at least 120 points of a difference.

God if only it was based on Iaijutsu. I know several crane, here on the boards even, that could give that 700 stealth a run for it's money.
