OOC Chat 1

[Soshi Eiji]

Hunting catching all of these undeserved strays I think hunting is just neat (potato).

I recall playing a Water 4 character once and rolling Xk4 on Hunting, Investigation, and Athletics was just neat. Maybe that should be a future concept. Would that be the same concept as Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes?

I had a water 4 Matsu. I got to pin a troll, and suplex a kappa. And the absolute love of the gm saying "They're 5 feet out of range" before I reminded them of the Matsu movement bonus while in FA

Live life in full attack

[Shiba Ryusei]

Usagoi Ginhiko.

Water 4 Usagi Bushi.

Why use a bow, when you can just close the range to any target more or less instantly?

(The answer: Because Orokos HATED her and made her miss SO MANY rolls by 1)

[Doji Shinnosuke]

I know perfectly well that Rokugan doesn't follow some of its historical inspo in having a name taboo for deceased rulers, and yet I somehow can't make myself write the late great Aggretsuhime's name into IC dialogue, why?

Maybe I should just file it under "actors everywhere are particularly superstitious"?

[Fukurokujin]

Sometimes, the game plays *you*.

I get what you mean though. It feels like such a personal thing to even mention her name! Like I'm committing some sort of social faux pas.

[Shiba Ryusei]

"Late Daughter of Heaven" *nod*

Mind you, Ryusei would have been leery of using her name when she was alive, so...

[Asahina Hoshiko]

That. When they've been gone long enough to be 'history' it seems ok.

[Cearnach]

12 hours remain for the Succession Debate. Get your licks in while you can.

[Soshi Eiji]

*Consults crystal ball for the results of the Winds + Imperial Families vote*

Otomo Tooru: Otomo Keihime, obviously.
Seppun Sadahako: Seppun Tomaru, obviously.
Miya Hachi: Seppun Tomaru, he's a nice guy and an Imperial.
Doji Noriko: Seppun Tomaru, he's a nice guy.
Otomo Keihime: Otomo Gorobei (No votes for the popular candidate here)
Otomo Gorobei: Well, I do like strength, and it's best to get on her good side, Otomo Keihime
Tatsuya: Ummmm, well Otomo Keihime had a little chat with me about my best chance to survive: Otomo Keihime.

Result 3 for Keihime, 3 for Tomaru, 1 for Gorobei.

Alternatively, Hachi gets flipped to Keihime

Results 4 for Keihime, 2 for Tomaru, 1 for Gorobei

[Jihen]

A fusion of the Fortune Sadahako + Lady Seppun?

A Fortune and an Imperial Daimyo? That's gotta be worth two votes at least.

[Soshi Eiji]

*shrug*

As all this trading should hammer home, if it's not in the agreement, it doesn't exist XD

I just think it's amusing that Noriko, the candidate with the most support points gets less votes than Gorobei, and Keihime, who is very low in a lot of player's rankings, has at least a 50, possibly a 100% chance to win.


As a danganronpa fan, I like voting games

[Ikoma Honoka]

Jinkan (original advance): 10 points
Sayomi: -10 points
Ryusei: -10 points
Current total: -10

(Note I think Kenji, Ryoichi and Shinnosukes are all basically the same so not sure if should combine them but they're all up as separate advances so left as is)

[Doji Shinnosuke]

I was trying to make a point about method rather than a specific candidate with Shin’s position, per the rules of the debate. Although it does happen that method would produce an obvious result that lines up with Kenji’s. XD

Alas, the Phoenix blew everything up before I had time to squeeze in my last court action! Didn’t want to spam them all at once last night, and thought I’d have another hour or two this morning.

[Ikoma Honoka]

I had an action left and was considering how to use it but then I saw Phoenix champs first post and held off. Seems I shouldn't have done that

[Agasha Yuna]

I had 2!

Alas.

But our characters could not know that. And continuing to participate in the debate was not necessarily something Yuna would have done.

[Ikoma Honoka]

Use an action to stick your tongue out at the departing Phoenix champion. If she comes back we can restart court if she doesn't then you're safe, win win!


(The Lion clan accepts responsibility for limbs or tongues lost in the act of sticking your tongue out at the scary Phoenix champion)

[Jihen]

I, for one, welcome our new rage quitting overlord.

[Soshi Eiji]

*shrug* GMs weave the best story they can with the material they're given. I WAS kind of picturing a bunch of out of control Noriko supporters trying to shout down the senior officers of the court. Without an Empress to shut them down, Phoenix daimyo who has been about order the whole court pulling the plug is pretty sensible.

[Jihen]

Yeah, definitely not making any sort of negative statement about the GMs or their storytelling. Just being facetious in OOC.

It’s a good plot thickening device. Should be an interesting future.

[Agasha Yuna]

I think STs will use everything that continues to happen today and folks' what I did for a month writing in their personal channels, and the court points, and all of it, to flesh out a story of what happens next.

It is exciting! I was not expecting this turn of events.
