Questions for the GMs

[Cearnach]

The question is more like a topic. It's just saying "here's the question" and then each character can introduce a position (or support other positions) in response to that. This first one seems pretty binary, but I'm sure there are people cooking up other ideas.

Will there still be court points for it? If so who do the court points go to

Not a GM of course, but since Cear noted it's a 'topic' on which people are free to introduce/advance positions, I'd imagine to the people who actually introduce positions on the matter?

[Fukurokujin]

Just so.

Could I arrange a meet with the Sparrow ambassador? Are they free LM to have tea?

Is it possible to get a list of player proposed events and days assigned for planning our own schedules, and also thinking about proposing additional events?

This may already exist and I just don't know where to look.

Do you care if more than one player sponsored event is proposed for the same day?

[Cearnach]

Here it is.

I *believe* this is accurate.

As for more than one a day, no, I do not care, but you should be careful not to overload a day that already looks choked, because then people will come to me about having spent all their void points, and everyone will be sad.

Kaiu-dono please.

In the debate for lord Baisho's heir, can I support my own words with a second roll/statement?

[Yasuki Masaki]

A shared sekrit question here!

Yep! Until you run out of Court Actions.

A setting question.

The 40 year old ronin T is, as I understand it, the son of Sadahako, the Fortune.

Sadahako is - in my experience in L5R settings but entirely game and timeline dependent - a recently elevated Fortune who was a geisha favorite of an Emperor who elevated her.

The year of her elevation would be common knowledge.

was it more than 40 years ago, or less than 40 years ago?

Heya, a question about our hypothetical Law debate:

Seppun Tomaru is a grandfather, some 54 years of age, and is descended from Hantei through the sister of Hantei Muhaki and Hantei Kusada, Otomo Kanehime, who married a member of the Hidden Guard.

"It has been brought to my attention that there is another candidate for the Imperial Succession. My uncle, Hantei Muhaki, had a son by Sadahako the Fortune. This son was hidden from the Empire and has lived his life as a ronin.

Wouldn’t a son of Muhaki be a closer relation to the Hantei than the son of the sister of Muhaki? But Shiba Higashime describes the Baisho family as:

“A grandfather, Baisho Reichiro is a second cousin of Lord Baisho. Closer than Izuku, not so close as Lady Bian

…

“But of course there is one more. He, too, is a cousin of Lord Baisho. Not a particularly close one. A 2nd cousin, once removed. And yet…” She pauses, stretching the moment of false indecision to the breaking point, “...there is a deeper history. For Lord Baisho’s family, like the lords of so many noble houses, was, though legitimate, not the only branch of their house to govern in their proud history. Lord Baisho’s great uncle had, for a time, held the reins of power. And as he did so, this man had a son. Tomo.”

… characterizing Tomo as a more distant relative than Reichiro.

I just want to check whether this is a mistake or a deliberate distortion by the presenter.

It was in 457, which would be 29 years ago.

Lord Baisho doesn't represent "the Hantei," he represents Hantei Retsuhime personally. Tatsuya is her second cousin--the son of her great-uncle.

This should make Tatsuya a first cousin, once removed - a closer relationship than second cousin.

That does mean I need to tweak Ryusei's argument a bit

[Cearnach]

Forgive me, that was me not having the terms correct. Thank you for your quick correction.
