Well, marrying into the Unicorn should get you a say in the war and a pony, and that's half of what you asked for. Practical solutions for practical problems.

The scorpion clan would like actions where Toturi and Hantei come to us lobbying for the support of the scorpion. We want to see what the two of them have to offer us now that everything could hinge on what the scorpion decide to do.

Married to the Dragon already, and I'm the bleeding Clan Champ. I want more Monkey, not less. I'd like to see the Scorpion offer as well. It would be curious to see what each would offer.

I'd love a Jade Magistrate position and Emerald Magistrate position. Requires a Writ of Authority: Magistrate and Jade could use Black Scrolls while Emerald would use Jitte (just an example, but I'd love for an action that uses up the Jittes I have in my inventory).
Jade Magistrate - Requires Spellcraft 25 and grants Investigation 10, Spellcraft 10, Koku 5 Emerald Magistrate - Requires Investigation 25 and grants Investigation 10, Intimidation 10, Koku 5
These are just suggestions off the top of my head.

I suspect this has been requested before, but now that the storyline enters a region where bushido and loyalties are tested, might it be possible to implement a "Ronin Option"? I can see it being implemented as a "clan".
Or, alternatively, implement a temporary "Toturi's Army" as a temp clan for those whose loyalties to Toturi have carried them away from their clans?

Ok, my idea; 8 Ronin schools, each with 2 school skills. 1) Ronin Swordsman - Kenjutsu & Courage. 2) Ronin Archer - Kyujutsu & Athletics. 3) Ronin Brigand - Stealth & Intimidation. 4) Ronin Priest - Spellcraft & Lore. 5) Ronin Duelist - Iaijutsu & Meditation. 6) Ronin Scout - Hunting & Investigation. 7) Ronin Courtier - Etiquette & Courtier. 8) Ronin Socialite - Art & Seduction. 9) Ronin Cavalry - Horsemanship & Battle.
I thought for a while about not having school skills as an idea. But that seemed harsh. I moved onto choosing a school skill, but that felt like it might be hard to implement and might see abuse. And then I explored just having three ronin schools with three skills each - 1) Bushi - Battle, Courage, Kenjutsu. 2) Courtier - Art, Courtier, Etiquette. 3) Priest - Lore, Spellcraft, Meditation. That felt all right, but it seemed limited. I ended up going with two skill schools representing ronin archetypes. Feels right to me; a definite penalty with 2 less school skills, but you get more choice on what you want to be.
Otherwise just having the Bushi, Courtier, Priest thing still doesn't seem that bad. And might be easier than adding 8 schools... not sure. Just throwing things out there.

Well, I want an option to for the scorpion clan attack the city of the lost! They are not moving any armies or defending their lands from the neighbors soo... I think is plausible some of them try to attack the "hidden" enemy. After all, HO is gonna have the time to question this actions?
thank you.
(maybe, it could be a suicidal endeavor, but I think it would be nice)

Or just adding a drop that says "Ronin". I dunno, -100 glory -100 honor, minus some koku, being ronin sucks. Perhaps adding a great deal of courage to represent that you stood to make a moral stand. Plus the option to for another faction that requires ronin. "Join Toturi's Army" and I've been trying to get more ronin how about "Join Monkey Clan" since I'm wishing?

*breathes deeply getting courage to type >.<*
Well, seems like lots of samurais, from all over the Empire, believes there is something behind this war. May be they should get a chance to investigate it (new information) and if something is found persuade/lobby for a ... rather different war (or no war at all, which seems less possible right now).
By now I don't think would be possible to stop a bunch of bushis who have been waiting to use their ancestor's weapons, or in other wrods, to stop A war. But, may be, we can still make a different war, make those bushis fight against something that is not one another. >.o
(Who knows, Kaneka and Naseru may have a secret (arght!) agreement and decided to raise armies (no one told where to march yet), they may surprise everyone making they march against Shadowlands or some other menace.May be they know something we don't know yet.
May be it's just me but sometimes I feel like Rokugan lacks of really heroic and honored heroes >.o behind the curtains everyone (even Emperors ) are crazy gang bikers with a katana >.o None of those guys would make really exemplar persons that a samurai would be proud to follow >.o ... hum... may be I'm a little (or a lot) too idealistic (or too concerned with my minions-followers lives). But the suggestion about an option that allow us to change the course of the war would be really nice, imho.

Well, joining Toturi's Army here doesn't seem like an option per say, unless you're adding one to both Hantei and Toturi to simply represent people who wish to leave their Clan because they object to their loyalties. The original name Toturi's Army is gone and doesn't really apply here; Akodo Toturi was a ronin Lion, so there was not much else he could do besides gather Ronin and malcontents, thus "his" army; Toturi Kaneka is the son of an Emperor and has the support of multiple Clans. His army is much more than his.
That said about the name... yeah, totally think having Ronin other than True Ronin would be an awesome touch too. I'm thinking having a couple ways of becoming a Clan Ronin, each with their own penalties; so less for going on a Warrior's Journey, more of one for abandoning your Clan for Toturi / Hantei, and of course an even bigger one for being exiled due to disgrace (taint, dishonor, failing your duty, etc). All depends on how practical doing those are to me.

The Wolf Legion then. Protecting the people while ignoring the selfish politics of Rokugan. They are already around, and the remnants of Toturi's Army.
Personally, that's more the course I want to steer. Yes, OOC well all know I support Toturi, but really that's an end more than the goal. I may support him, but I want to fight for the People. I just think he's best for the People. If given a chance, I'd start up "Toku's Army" wandering the Empire, protecting the commoners. I'll gladly let the samurai kill each other, but we all know the commoners will feel the brunt of the war.
