With as many goblin heads as I've collected, I should be an honorary Crab!

Why the Crane can't fight at Drowned Merchant River??? -_- It's not Lion territory. It's not Lion territory, true, but it is against what's left of the Lion army, plus the Unicorn and Kaneka's personal retinue. The "peace treaty" forces the Crane to not fight in any battles in which the Lion is participating (and since the Lion composes the majority of Kaneka's forces, the Crane has pretty much voted itself out of the war). Not to beat a dead dog, but when that was done everyone knew that it would eventually end like this. It's unfortunate, yes, but it is not unexpected.

Not to beat a dead dog, but when that was done everyone knew that it would eventually end like this. It's unfortunate, yes, but it is not unexpected. These wasn't the terms previously stated. After the fall of CoSs and all the previous battles the lion was involved it's hard to believe that there are more Lions than Unicorns left on Kaneka's army. I'm too lazy to go hunt for more references now but the threads, and actions descriptions were always about territories, for instance: A formal ceremony is being held at Kyuden Seppun to commemorate a peace agreement between the Crane and Lion. As part of the terms of the treaty, the Lion are withdrawing from their positions near Kyuden Otomo, and the Crane will stop fighting the Lion at Castle of the Swift Sword and Crossroads Castle. Also, Hachi's legions are filled with Cranes (as well as other clans, I know). I had more in mind but... I'll only bother you guys about it if I can still load EE on the 7th. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) By now... I'm just saying

Believe me Yuki, I share your frustration (especially because Hachi will surely need all the help he can get during this battle). Still, the only counsel I have for our Crane allies now is "time to go ronin" ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Yea I hate to say I told you so, Raposa, but this is exactly what was predicted - the Crane unable to affect the course of the war.
The treaty quite plainly stated that the Crane would not attack Lion armies -or- Lion territories.

I apoligize. I clicked the portrait and one of his updates a few days ago was "married into the crane clane". I guess I interpeted that wrong. Sorry.
In hindsight, it's a duh thing as what that ment.....
Wish I could blame dyslexia...

On another note, I must confess that I'm slightly confused by the actions "Spy on Toturi's Army" and "Careful Planning", are they supposed to count towards the battle totals? I ask because they were there well before the battle began and they're still there, so, its hard to know.

The treaty quite plainly stated that the Crane would not attack Lion armies -or- Lion territories. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Check again my OoC and IC opinions about it. And also the poll about the truce on our privates >.o I don't think we (all the non forum players) would had voted for this IF this outcome was so clear and predictable. But... Still I'll remark the fact that after the truce the Lion could still fed the Crab troops on LSC. And we could never supply Hachi or the Dragon. I originally wrote a huge post but... whatever... I wouldn't help anyway, so I ll just keep this to a readable size. And Manji, your dishonored suggestion is being ignored for the sake of our friendship ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Just imagine all the killing you are missing! All you gotta do to join the fun is wet your snow white toe into the bottomless lake of infamy (it starts with only 20 but, after that, it never ever ends) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Besides, I still have my principles (some of them) and completely disapprove of Taint. I may have a dubious morality but the Taint is clearly off my gray area. As for my previous question, I think the removal of the "Spy on Toturi's Army" action at the Drowned Merchant River answers it.

Come on Raposa, Join us in the infamy. You can be the "extreme" at the other end of the infamy spectrum ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The light, in the sea of darkness so to speak.

I did it. Was second when I did it, but I'm sure, I'm going to fall further back, as I haven't kept up with my spellcraft, compared to those who specialize.

OK, I'm happy enough by being able to use magic against the Unicorn by now ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Even if I have half (the non-spellcasting half) of Asahina family on hold ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Raposa/Archers.jpg) Of course, that's what we have been doing since the truce: Tsangusuri Arrows ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) we should be able to fight, we won't aim for the wrong colors, I swear *just kidding here**Keeps loading protection spells around KO actually.*

If you join me Raposa, there is only one set of wrong colors. Black and Green. It allows you to be less..... "choosy", and more.... "Shooty"
