4/3/2012: Clear Water Village

[Jay Luo]

The Scorpion have seized Clear Water Village after heavy fighting, and are consolidating their control of the village with ruthless purges and confiscation of "strategic goods."

Also, the huge battle at Castle of the Swift Sword will be ending soonish. (Giving a little warning so no one is surprised when it ends.....)

[Soshi Kiso]

It's like you read my mind that I wanted the Customs Inspections for the Trade Route. *happy*

[Asahina Yukihime]

I'm truly impressed by Scorpion numbers on this battle o.o
Thanks for the news, Jay ^_^

[Mirumoto Daisuke]

I'm a little surprised - the Dragon contribution to this conflict surpassed the Crab contribution! Is it because there are relatively few Crab players?

Thanks for the warning Jay, guess there goes my joke about it lasting longer than White Orchid ;D. Anyway, I think its safe to assume that soonish means another week, so, back to CotSS for me (yet again).

Congratulations to the Scorpion for a battle well fought at CWV. Now you guys can go back to CotSS for a last sprint against the Lion

[Akodo Keisuke]

Unfortunate loss for the Crab especially since they should still have a an army sitting in the Crane lands, yet those are interesting actions coming out of the conclusion of the battle.

Thank you Jay for your tireless efforts.


To my fellow Lions and Toturi players:

[Tamori Manji]

I wonder where Yasuki Hachi will go next. Now that the Lion lost their eastern border, he has some interesting decisions to take.

[Shosuro Aroru]

...I really would like to be happy about this, except for the glaring fact that Clear Water Village started after CotSS and ended before it ended. What rational do you have Jay for this battle ending first? I don't know why I even bother asking, you never respond to any questions put forth.


...It has been pointed out to me that it's your birthday, so happy birthday. I do appreciate that you put an update in on your birthday, just completely baffled why you chose the update you did.

[Kitsuki Ketsumei]

I'm more interested it what the occupying forces have found in Clear Water Village...

[Tamori Koichi]

Congrats to our Scorpion allies.

[The Book Keeper]

Thanks you jay. im looking forward to see whats comes next. happy birthday.

[Ide Majamane]

I'm amused, though not surprised, that the Scorpion are willing to hire on anyone to oversee the city despite which side they fought on in the battle

Scorpion have always had their portrayals in battle. To be a villan you have to fill the roles that get you closer. I'm actually delighted to see that factions are not a factor for these most recent actions, even though I myself changed over to the Hantei supporters.

(Though I'll never click against a Lion for honor's sake ;3 )

It's all about the lore...

CoTSS:

Battles need to respect meditation time, ancestor worship time, field of battle needs to be cleaned, katana sharpening time... Deathseekers must compose death Aikus, Kensai need to perform 1001 ribbon cutting techniques...

CWV:
on the other battle you have... Crab vs Scorpion... Crab must get this over with to go back to the wall and scorpion can't really fight for a long time with big masks on... so we get it done fastfastfast!

[Bayushi Senshi]

I like to imagine that CoSS must have been too close to call for a very long time. If its a blow out though, I may be a tad peeved. I'm more kinda bummed because of the huge immediate tactical implications of that battle back when it started. If you all remember the huge debate in where that battle was going to be, etc.
