The Scorpion had always been allies to the Dragon, as the figures show, but the Dragon are truly the duplicitous ones. You call it duplicity, I call it principle. My intention was never to "go against the Scorpion" (I have allies and friends in the Scorpion, IC and OoC) but to save the Imperial Bride. No matter the Clan of the Bride (be it Crane, Lion, Mantis, Dragon or Phoenix) and no matter the Clan of the would be assassin (any of those that have Stealth as a school skill), I would've done exactly the same. Being friendly towards the Scorpion (exchanging gifts, helping during the CWV invasion and such) has absolutely nothing to do with allowing the Imperial Bride to be murdered. But you are free to believe whatever you wish, my actions speak for themselves. ...Good point about the actions, who are you voting to blame?

Voted Scorpion once (for the air ring), Spider once (for the air ring) and Lion thrice ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) EDIT: That translates, so far, into 10 votes to blame the Scorpion, 10 to blame the Spider and 80 to blame the Lion. EDIT2: I did that before the end of CotSS though. Since there's a real chance at Kaneka visiting Naseru under a peace banner now, I'm inclined to gather slanders again and go blame the Spider some more.

Nothing personal, they're just Rokugan's standard scapegoats ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) "Those rascally Spider! Always up to no good! No one is likely to question the idea that the Spider were behind the attack."

You call it duplicity, I call it principle. Followed by Voted Scorpion once (for the air ring), Spider once (for the air ring) and Lion thrice ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Now that principles have been established... Are the Scorpions to believe that Kitsuki Sogetsu told his clan the Lion where to blame? Or is the guy talking about peace trying to put a wedge into the truce between Lion and Crane? I like you Manji but I wouldn't turn my back on you! With luck you'd only tattoo something on my back! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Honestly, the Blame the Spider option is just so boring. Oh hurrr durr, Look it was the Spider! AGAIN!
You know what? Keep blaming the Spider. It's worked so well for people so far..... /eyeroll.

...What exactly hasn't worked about it? What got worse in Rokugan for blaming the spider? Also the spider keep saying it's so boring to blame the spider over and over again. Has there been more than 2 votes that had blame the spider as an option? Being bored the 2nd time something comes around isn't because of repetitiveness, it's because of ADD. B)

I always do the first level of the voting actions whenever possible, independent of my affiliation or personal interests (I also got one mastery in all the brides' nominations, one mastery regarding all of the Emerald Champion's decisions, one mastery for all the Dragon decision actions at CotSS and so on). It's a free ring and 10 votes aren't likely to make a difference (especially when the items used for each action are different). Also, as I've said, the Lion thing was before there was a possibility for peace, nothing to do about it now (before the end of CotSS, it was very interesting to have the Crane at odds with the Lion again). I'll probably just gather more slanders and blame the Spider a bit more. Besides, if I wished to backstab anyone, I wouldn't be talking openly about how many votes I put where. Joji, you would do well to not turn your back on me or even appear in front of me, I have a "kill on sight" policy regarding the Tainted and I believe that would be very unhealthy for you ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) That said, your post deserves a... ![](http://cache.ohinternet.com/images/2/24/I_see_what_you_did_there_super.jpg)

I'll take that as a challenge from you both.
