Eww, we don't skin Crabs. It's that inhumane Spider practice we're there to stop!

Waaaaay waaaay back when this was being voted on I remember Senshi selling it on the basis that it would be a genuine cooperation between the Crab and the Scorpion. So why not just open the doors, guys? Are you saying Senshi isn't being straight with his Crab buddies?

I'm gonna laugh soooooooo hard if, when this stage is resolved and the doors remain closed, the Scorpion Army calmly says "Ok" and keeps going to the wall ;D

Crab question of the month: "What Kisada would do?" Have sex with Kyoso, sacrifice one of his sons to Akuma, kick the scorpion and beat one emperor with the other! ALL FOR THE GOOD OF ROKUGAN! I kinda liked the idea... but lies to open gates, anti-crab plots for a siege, flatteries droping all over.... get me thinking the scoprion aren't beeing straight! * THE SHOCK* One the other hand curses droping for barring the gates? I think the Crab are between a rock and 2 hard places! |

If any Scorpion voted to "Help the Crab against the Shadowlands" truly believing that's what would happen... may be they should re-think their clan allegiance  The writings on that options sounded really "ironic" back there and the real situations was, imo, pretty clear. You're enemies, just take a look on your Supporter symbols And nice comic, Ryumon. |

Thanks Raposa, I firmly believe there is a Junji Ito comic for every situation.
Drr drr, etc.

Just for reference, here was the official explanation at the time from the Scorpion Clan Champion:
"The scorpion of the forum wish to defend the wall. There is no enemy greater to the empire then the Spider.
Also think about it this way, the scorpion options are to attack the lion the unicorn or the crab. In l5r who EVER wants to attack those 3 clans? I mean come on! Losing hand. but in all seriousness our logic is that if we can't defeat the march of the taint then what empire is there to fight for? We're also covering our butts based on whoever wins. Attacking the spider is good for everyone, Toturi and Hantei alike, cause both camps said hells no to the spider.
We in the scorpion clan humbly request that hantei supporters who are voting at Kyuden Bayushi please vote to feint attack the crab and defend the wall.
We also ask all Toturi crab to please let us through. Pretty please?"

If the straightforward Crab and the sneaky Scorpions manage to put aside differences and fight the "common enemy" then it's a clear indication that the war around the pretenders is not paramount and that they need to end this.
Perhaps the Scorpion generals read the Tangen's edition of Troy...

I hope I'm just being really unlucky here, but for mastering the March with Hachi's Legion action (new at Great Hall of Records), I got one Recruit and one Scouting Report for 190 Fate, 100 koku and 10 Rice  |

...Let's see, an action that costs an item that currently isn't obtainable vs. an action that costs an item that's sent everytime a crab accepts a gift. Oh yeah, there's a snowballs chance in hell of the scorpion winning that vote. Why even bother putting this action up Jay?

Yeah, considering the way its set up; Unless the Crab let us in the refresh, I think its a lost cause. If the Crab really want to continue the war of emperors, instead of joining ranks with the opposing side to fight the Shadowlands.... we're doomed.
