You know, it would be kinda cool (if it came to war) to have a limited amount of PVP action something like...
Hantei Side action / Toturi Side Action Use Spellcraft to raise barrier around Toshi Ranbo / Use Spellcraft to destroy barrier (Shugenja only) Duel Toturi supporter / Duel Hantei supporter (Bushi only) Diplomacy / Diplomacy (Courtiers only, still PVP) Repair Allies Armaments (Both sides, Artists/Merchants (did Jay-sama have these classes?), non-contested
It would be like a 1/day skill challenge where each side's total is added up and averaged out to see who won that day's action (in an effort to keep it fair.)
People on the losing side (provided they took the action for the day) get a negative "Random" Encounter where the results can include things (for the spellcraft fight) like "Expend x simple scrolls to reinforce your defenses," "Sacrifice x minor shugenja", "Sacrifice X shugenja ally," "Captured," "Death." And the winning side gets things like "Capture enemy shugenja" (reward is Imperial favor for Hantei/ Kaneka favor for Toturi and Seppun (Hantei)/Random family (Toturi) shugenja ally,) "Kill enemy shugenja" (Favor only,) "Enhance defenses"/"Breach defenses" (Give every member of your side a +1 bonus to their total for the next day; stackable), "Brilliant Strategy" (Brilliant Victory.)
Then, when the fight ends, the people backing the winning Emperor get special position items they get to choose from Imperial Legionaire or Jade Legionnaire. The top 10 get the choice of Emerald Magistrate, Jade Magistrate, or Imperial Spouse (get to rebuild as one of the Imperial classes.) And for the top-score winner: Jade/Onyx Champion for the Shugenja challenge (depending on whether they have Taint,) Ruby Champion for the Bushi winner, Amethyst Champion for the Courtier winner, and Turquoise Champion for the Artist/Merchant winner.
How cool would that be?

I've heard of your skill, Bayushi-sama. It would be my honor to lose to you.

I like the idea as well, since it gives a chance to use all those character points that we've been saving for competitions.
My only comment/suggestion for now would be to not limit it to just 1 day. Majority of players are not online 24/7 due to real life. It would be really disappointing if a player missed his chance to do what he's best at.

Sorry, broker shorthand, I mean once per day, which is just 1(one/once)/(per)day just like all the other skill challenges. There'd be a set time when the program would tally up the resulting totals and assign the "random" encounter to each side.
Maybe have something nice for Mastery, like a Body items that enhance Spellcraft & Meditation for Shugenja (Robes of the Oracles, maybe?,) one that enhances Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu for the Bushi (like a dueling kimono,) Intimidation & Seduction for the Courtier (because these would be "aggressive negotiations," so armor-looking robes) and for the Artist/Merchant one Art & Courtier with a Koku bump.

Oh, I get it Shodai. So we could have this run for a month but have 30 1-day instances?
That would be kind of fun! I really, really like your idea!

Only part I am wary of is a pc being Jade Champion. Magistrate, yes. If a pc is Jade Champion, that could hinder Jay-sama's story telling capabilities.
And does anyone really want to risk a certain phoenix (not shodai) actually being able to claim the title he seems to think is rightfully his? This would also mean that Daimyos would be pounding on the door for their special positions, so not a can of worms to be opened lightly.

You have a point, Kiso, but I'd say that anyone who wins a Jeweled Championship would be expected to not pull a Taeshik or suffer the same fate. For the most part, I'm talking just an ultra-rare Position.

And this would be just a rare one-off appointment, much like Fitsu getting Rinkushokan was, and only at the Imperial level. The other positions would be beneath the Emperor (whoever it becomes) to deal with. ;D

...Eh, being a ninja I've always been at a disadvantage in the competitions. Class skills of investigation, hunting, stealth and seduction.

OOH! Another PVP competition idea!
Sneak behind enemy lines (Stealth) vs. Catch Enemy Spy (Investigation)

I have a swell idea for a Stealth contest. Sneak into the inner chambers at the court of Daigotsu and steal Shoju's favorite daisho.

Thats a good one! Sadly, my Daisho was lost in battle. All I have now is this super awesome bloodspeaker reforged Daisho that screams for blood, and a run of the mill daisho that I wear for ceremonial purposes.
