@aroru, But by the same token, those that support Hantei are saying the same. (and I have a hit list, don't worry Shoju, just like everyone elses hit list, you made the cut, but I'm not sure if your above or below a certain low ranking Kakita atm.) Glory awaits!

Utaku Kasumi - I assume you know you can go to Toshi Ranbo and declare support for Hantei, no matter what the Khan decides, right?

Just as Kaneka has made me his enemy twice, I am twice Hantei's supporter: announcing my loyal in Kyuden Isawa and then again to him directly in Toshi Ranbo.
I rather hope that if it comes to a fight, Jay-sama will give an action where I can tap into my Spellcraft 300... Like Summoning the one of the Elemental Dragons to reveal the true will of the Heavens and shutting EVERYONE up. ;D

@kitsuki Daimyo
"*Snidey comment warning* Also, please - as a Yasuki you have no right to lecture anyone on treachery. I believe your Hantei allies - the Crane - even scoff at that. There was no precedent in Rokugani history for swapping Clan loyalties but your ancestors did it anyway. I maintain there are grounds for this matter based partially on exististing precedents or at least their ethos and intention. There were none for your ancestors' action. However, I am sure that none of us would like to delve into that matter again so I will leave it alone. I will also praise your family by saying that I think they have repaid that loss of honour and failure in duty with their following more righteous actions within the Empire. The stain has therefore been wiped clean. I would suggest you do not point out where the stain once was."
Two Points; The first being that the Emperor of that time, Hantai Fujiwa, Resolved the matter personally and endorsed the Crab absorbtion of the Yasuki as benefital to the Empire as a Whole. I would therefore argue that no meaningful treachery occured as he judged the Yasuki had been ill-used by the crane and the Yasuki had simply found a better way to serve his empire. I would not speculate how his great-great- grandmother being Yasuki may have influenced his decision. The Crab-Crane war set many precedents, Such as being the first inter-clan war, and laying the groundwork for what would evolve into the Emerald Magistrates.
Secondly, do you propose the Agasha family are wholly dishonorable? Their abandonment of Hitomi is very similer to the Yasuki abandonment of the Crane. The Dragon-Pheonix war was almost directly caused by lingering strong feelings among both families. The argument that because I am Yasuki I cannot see dishonorable conduct is empty. If it were, the Agasha would not be a respected noble family today. The Yasuki duty is to supply the Hida with the Means to defend the empire from outside threats and you will not find us having failed in that. Those who stand with Kaneka, quite simply, have forsaken their oaths of loyalty once already. They may be doing so with good intentions, but they are still casting their honor aside to follow their Hearts.

@yuusha Then I guess when you said.. We must therefore be doubly sure of where our loyalties lie and who our actions benefit. We must gather intelligence and not move according to anyone elses' wishes - only our own. I personally have faith in the Shogun but I temper that with ultimate loyalty to the... to the position of the Emperor. ... in our last meeting, these were just empty words. In the end, your ultimate loyalty is non-existent. But I will say no more. We are at an impasse as of the moment. We all fight for that which we cannot compromise. (ooc: though I think you've already compromised your honor) @machu Quite an honorable and noble sentiment that is, one that I would have supported if we had not already been dragged into this civil war of Kaneka's. I, Homsar and the rest of the Dragons who still remain loyal to the Righteous Emperor will fight to defend the Hantei. But I open my home, Shiro Tamori, as a safe-haven for those Dragon and all other samurai who would want to remain neutral in this war. No foe or even friend will do you harm while you are there. This I promise you.

I have faith that Takezo-sama is wiser than you think he is. He is not as petty as you are. :-p
(lets not play the whole "you're disobeying your champion, commit seppuku or lose your title" game. I mean honestly if we did the first ones to die would be all the champions joining Kaneka, through an order of the Emperor. But we all know that Jay is really great and doesn't want more than half the cast dying in an instant. My view is the Righteous Emperor is probably not asking people to sepukku since he sees this as a feud between just him and Kaneka, he does not want to lose lives of his "misguided" champions as much as possible, though he has all the power to do so. So lets just play our sides nicely, ne?)

Utaku Kasumi - I assume you know you can go to Toshi Ranbo and declare support for Hantei, no matter what the Khan decides, right? I know it. Already did that. But it still annoys me, that as a Unicorn, I am forced to support Kaneka only. I would never break my promise - if I gave my katana to one of them... I will die holding it for him. Simple. But as a Daimyo of Utaku family... I respect that my sisters might follow Kaneka, because it's a Khan's order. I bow to him, but I have my will and follow my heart. P.S. And stop being mean to Shoju! He's such a sweet person! Give him cookies, show him some rainbows... and let him see a unicorn. I am sure that it will untaint him
