Nope! You'll get the whole score with a simple success.
Gorobei abides. You can find him pretty much wherever. Wandering around. Doing Gorobei-related things.Yasuki Ryoichi wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:55 pmIn search of the Imperial Matchmaker, here.
Also is it possible to talk with Otomo Gorobei on day 7, now that Team Gorobei has jailbreaked him? Where can he be found?

Re: Questions for the GMs
For all and sundry: We do check your personal forums regularly, usually before we come to OOC space. You do not need to link to questions already in your personal forums. We will not get there quicker.

Re: Questions for the GMs
Perhaps Gorobei is a sports fan ?
And at the risk of being greedy, I'm also trying to talk to Tatsuya in court.

Re: Questions for the GMs
A few questions on marriage contracts and related things:
1) In most cases and most gands marriages are expected to happen between people of equal or similar Status. How does Influence play into this here? If someone is low status but high Influence, would they be considered appropriate for marriage to someone of high status?
Would someone with high status but low influence be deemed appropriate for soneone with high status *and* influence?
Or is it a case of 'sum both', kind of?
Or do we just ignore Influence and just consider status?
2) If influence matters for marriages, I'm assuming its just personal influence, not house influence? Is that correct?
3) Since status matters quite a bit for marriage and we get a limited allotment of high-status peeps fit for marriage per clan, I'm assuming our cousins, siblings and others rolled with our house are all considered status 1 (as otherwise we could be giving ourselves an advantage) Is that correct?
Thanks!

Re: Questions for the GMs
Maybe a little minor QoL suggestion. When a new topic is brought to the court floor, maybe a post in the galleries from the host announcing it? Some of us religiously refresh our own posts, and forget to check the others XD

Re: Questions for the GMs
I have not given this any thought, so my suggestion is that you just pay attention to status. Your siblings and so forth would be status 1. If you choose to value influence as well, that can be part of your considerations, but from a purely "the NPCs will come after me" way of thinking, we're not paying it any mind.Yasuki Masaki wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 10:59 pmA few questions on marriage contracts and related things:

Re: Questions for the GMs
I appreciate the recommendation, but I think I need people who care about what happens on the floor to check the floor as a QoL thing for me and for Fukurokujin.

Re: Questions for the GMs
Are the Clan services that help a specific player character (like making them a suit of armor, making them immune to Shadowlands taint, giving them 3 wishes, and so on) something that take effect during this game, or are they only awarded post-game?

Re: Questions for the GMs
Something to ask here in regards to court
Also would the Mantis ambassador be available for tea in the Early evening or mid evening? Which one would be better - not sure if the Mantis like to go out drinking in the evening

As with many things, the answer depends.Yasuki Ryoichi wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2025 6:37 amAre the Clan services that help a specific player character (like making them a suit of armor, making them immune to Shadowlands taint, giving them 3 wishes, and so on) something that take effect during this game, or are they only awarded post-game?
Some items might well be able to take effect in the present game (e.g., prayer services, maybe some information services). Something like armor, less so (has to be fitted and adjusted, if not outright made, and the Lord Kaiu only has so many hours in his day, let alone access to a real forge; Kyuden Ikoma doesn't have his equipment, you know).

Who controls hex (094, 051) on the map, near Otosan Uchi? Is it under direct Imperial Control, or is it under some family or house?
