Maybe there is some ration in play that we don't know about. It's fruitless to debate the fairness of it if we don't know all the variables. I agree. But nevertheless it's only a natural interest that the players have towards the game. We are gamers, we think in strategic terms. And the best way of doing so, is learning all about the rules of the game. "It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." (Sun Tzu in the classic The Art of War, 6th century BC) My opinions on the matter are impregnated with my loyalty to the empire, and I can understand the designer's ways. |

Don't get me wrong, I want people to discuss things. Just realize, we could all be totally off base and wrong, since unlike CotSS we don't have much background on this action yet.

***** Advertisement ***** Tainted Samurai are 50% more likely to get a date with the Dark Daughter of Fu-Leng and 25% more likely to survive the "encounter". ***** End of Advertisement ***** Maaaaan... been waiting for a +15 Spellcraft follower for, like, forever. Now that one appeared she wants to give me cooties! I don't want your tainted cooties Dark Daughter of Fu-Leng! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! www.nooooooooooooooo.com/On another note, I agree with Hiro on this one Shoju, its only natural for people to try figuring out the mechanics involving the game. I see no harm in this line of questioning as long as it stays like this. Besides, I want a free recruitment/war action too  |

Maybe there is some ration in play that we don't know about. Oh we know about it. We just don't understand and realize it fully yet. It's directing the story to fulfill Sezaru's prophecy. "Winds calm and snow burns Birds will swim, fish shatter stone Before peace returns." The first line either references the Unicorn clan or the two brothers (the four Toturi siblings were also known as the Four Winds). Second line is in reference to Castle of the Swift Sword. The third line is what's being dealt now. It was skipped since Mantis failed to capture the castle before but destiny is forcing it's hand now. Fourth line is the Yasuki (the Carp) breaking the Wall (aka the Crab). Yasuki daimyo's defiance of his champion perhaps? This is all just conjecture though. Conspiracy theories. Don't take it too seriously. |

I wonder why Sezaru has been kept so neutral, he hasn't chosen sides, he hasn't tried to mediate peace. He has watched as his brother's have sent armies to destroy and ruin the empire in some juvenile fist fight, and he's just standing there.
Maybe he was the person who sent the yobanjin invasion force.

I agree with your interpretation Koichi. And Shoju, maybe Sezaru is secretly a kolat |

blech. Maybe he is secretly an Oni Summoning Evil Mastermind who has engineered this whole thing in an effort to kill both brothers, so that he can ascend unaccosted to the throne, and plunge the empire into an age of Blood.

And Shoju, maybe Sezaru is secretly a kolat I knew I should've let him die... ;D Speaking of which, is that particular storyline ever gonna finish? Or perhaps that is what we're being led to... |

Manji, while I do agree with your assessment, please not gaijin pepper again. A send home action fits the Crane better. I must agree. Avoid things that explode and/or burn for a while. |
