@moto - I have a feeling it's been done before... in another life. ;D Shoju - By the kami, I have no clue how to react to that...

Dunno why, but if it ends up in the Khan marching on Toshi Ranbo... well that'd be an interesting twist, wouldn't it? Haven't the Unicorn already done that in this timeline on their own merit? XD

I have spent many hours this morning conversing in seclusion with the Lion and Crab champions. We have decided to support the shogun. Hantei forced Kaneka to change his name, a grievous insult, and Kaneka suffered it. Hantei ignored the yobanjin, and kaneka marched to defend the emperor, and kaneka suffered it. Hantei tried to kill the shogun, kaneka turned the other cheek, and kaneka suffered it. Kaneka will NOT suffer Hantei for this empire any more! Kaneka is the one best chance that the empire has to defeat our true enemies the spider and their gaijin allies. We ask now that the empire follow our example and march to Toshi Ranbo and save the empire from Hantei. Our duty, is to the empire not any one man. Aroru, you have done much to see us to this point, you have been a trusted friend and ally for the duration of the war against the yobanjin and before. You have followed every order I have given, grudgingly but loyally. A champion could not ask for a better agent, I supported you when you asked to keep an eye on the shogun and I read you and your allies' reports. Now however, I must ask that you follow the wishes of your champion and your rightful emperor Kaneka. I implore you. ...I do not see how bringing an empire wide war into being serves the empire. Especially after a great foreign incursion. If he embroils us all in war, where will we be for the next Yobanjin attack? They still amass in the Steppes and seeing the army that just beat them back march away to fight themselves looks like a huge invitation to attack. Kaneka has been striving for personal glory and shown both a highly combative and intolerant attitude. It's no surprise that he appeals to so many of the Bushi. There is no way for me to retain my loyalty to the empire while actively working to make Kaneka emperor.

Esteemed Aroru-san,
I was once known as Bayushi Taizin. I am now known by many different names throughout the Empire, but I agree with you. Come. Join me in support of the Son of Heaven, Hantei Naseru.

The point I was trying to make is that by fighting amongst ourselves, it would lead to a fight that would no doubt rain Glory upon the samurai to take the challenge, but would not - could not - end in anything other than an ignoble slaughter or utter corruption of the samurai's body and soul. BTW, Shoju, I know it'll break your heart, but I don't swing that way, man. ;D

But remember the choices you make will not be so easily forgotten. However in the meantime I would strongly also recommend backing off of the judgments of others, as you are clearly moved to passionate loyalty. But criticizing Senshi's words and posting as you do paint a very strange image. Before dropping presumptuous accusations, it might be ideal to look over your own considerations. While I support the freedom to disagree, it's rather clear that nothing will sway you from your decision. However I would also suggest you myself to be considerate enough to discontinue having to disapprove every single factoid that rises to the aid of Kaneka or against Hantei. Perhaps you might consider dropping your passions into the roleplaying rather than simply the news thread.

The Ox Clan, until such a time as a proper Clan Champion can step forward, offer the Shogun our sincerest hopes and well wishes in his campaign, as well as what information and free passage of troops through the Ox Clan's lands should he desire it.

ooc: Thanks Jay for this wonderful and quite exciting improvement. Kumbaya-lets-all-hold-hands Rokugan was getting boring. Support the Righteous Emperor, Hantei Naseru. We have pie.

I cannot understand what or who is at work here. Actualy, I've heard whispers of plots against the shogun in Toshi Ronbo. I wouldn't believe the person formerly known as Hantei Naseru loosing all of his cunning wit and perspective by sending hired killers after his brother.
More over, I've seen the work of the shadowlands in the Empire. I cannot believe we are at the brink of a civil war when Yobanjins are still at our gates. Has any of you noticed their camp is STILL hours away of Mountain Watch Keep ? Has any of you crossed the path of one of those Pekkle no Oni ? Or Zombies roaming north of the ruins of Otosan Uchi ? And we are bickering like spoiled children ? Really ?
*sits down and cross arms and legs*
As the Dragon Kami once did, and he was far wiser than I will ever be : I will not move until I understand.

It seems many minds on both sides think this war should be won quickly and decisively. Far better, to my mind, that it should be prevented.
It need only take three cuts.

Indeed, a far better solution would be if one of them accepted it and stood down to die.

And as long as that traitorous Dog Kaneka is ready to do so, it can be over soon.

A Spider calling anyone traitorous is *hilarious*.
