Questions for the GMs

[Yasuki Masaki]

3) No. If you're just hunting for money or influence, you don't get to interact with the winds in the same way as if you chose option 3. You're making an artwork for the purpose of getting money or power, not to make a political point. It's sort of like Abstract Expressionism: it tends to sell really well to businesses, because the average viewer doesn't say "oh, this is advocating social change," or "oh, war is bad," so it doesn't drive away business. It *does* carry emotional content and messages about art creation, but those things tend not to drive away people who want to spend money.

As a follow-up to this - do we also build some sort of good will the patron chosen, or is this a fully business relationship in which we receive the koku and that's it (if not using Courtier)?

[Cearnach]

It's a commercial relationship.

[Shiba Ryusei]

Also, would whoever pilots the Sparrow Champion be up for a court side thread on Day 11, or should we punt it?

[Fukurokujin]

Thread me.

[Isawa Shingo]

Will there be a D12 court sign up thread or has the glut of treaties subsided? Shingo has an art offering and a ghost post in my PF.

[Cearnach]

Those get posted on day flip, which will occur around 18 hours from now.

Is Artisan/Poetry an appropriate gift to the Court ?

[Fukurokujin]

Is Artisan/Poetry an appropriate gift to the Court ?

If the poem's good, yes.

[Agasha Yuna]

If we get glory and are donating to the wind, does that mean the character takes no glory, and you turn it into wind points?

Or does it mean our glory goes up, but that also adds wind points since our glory is part of calculation?

I can't remember.

Goal is to donate.

But if I should add to self also, let me know.

[Cearnach]

Donate is either/or.

[Agasha Yuna]

Thanks for confirming. Please donate mine!

For Bowman's Wager part 2 do we assume using the standard Willow Leaf arrow

[Cearnach]

Yes.

[Kitsu Sayomi]

Since the targets in Day 2 of the Bowman's Wager have armor on, I come to you once again with a wholly expected question (as I often do because I'd rather ask than assume):

Would Akodo Bushi 1 apply?

Rank 1: The Way of the Lion
You may either ignore the portion of an opponent's Armor TN derived from Armor, or gain a Free Raise when attacking. (You do not ignore Reduction from the Armor when choosing the first option.)

It does not, here.

Akodo Bushi 1 represents getting around armor; the event asks you to punch through it.

[Kitsu Sayomi]

Research here, thank you.

It's a commercial relationship.

Was out most of the day (still phone posting...), so just coming back to this now, but a follow-up:

Since this is mostly a commercial relationship thwt comes down to the 8 koku, does it make much of a difference who the patron is? I feel I may be overthinking something that won't change things a lot here XD

Thanks!
