Re: Twenty Festivals part III - Letting Them Have Your Way
Overall, I liked it. I have some nits to pick, forgive me. There's the occasional spelling and punctuation goof ("Shinichi excepted the outburst"), but nothing that couldn't be worked out with a good editor. Overall you have this breathless style of extremely short sentences - parataxis - ...

Re: Concerns With Crane Story Direction
I fear that with yet another campaign of warfare at the expense of our political theme, we will probably not read courtier/duelist stories in a long while. While there is a path that would allow these themes to come to the forefront, it's tainted by association (I proposed a modification, but it app...

Re: A Proposal: Alliance with the Unicorn
That is fantastic news. But your Path #1 doesn't actually specify alliance, right? And neither of our paths has the option to ally, even though that is a thing we do (Our path #1 does hint at facilitating inter-clan cooperation, but also says we would sacrifice political aspects of our clan.) Soo......

Re: Spring Kotei 2015 Fiction - Day 1
Soo... wouldn't it make more sense to offer said Doji as a bride then? I'm confused.
Either the Crane forgot how to do the marriage thing or there's a reason said Doji is not bride material.
Is Seiken cuckolding a Doji husband?

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
We don't have an heir yet, because Seiken is not even married and he definitely didn't sire an heir. Do we know the Iweko dynasty survives before Natsuyo's vague plans come to fruition? We don't. In fact, it's a bit doubtful given what we've learned, even though Natsuyo has no way of knowing this - ...

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
For inspiration: I see us in the role of Richard Attenborough's character in The Great Escape (1963). Any one man can escape a prison camp. It's an entirely ludicrous idea to try to escape with ALL men, but if anybody can devise the plan, organize it, and motivate the men, it's Squadron Leader Roger...

Re: A Proposal: Alliance with the Unicorn
I really think we need to stay in our lands if we really want to make a difference in protecting our peasants. Plus it would leave us with more rice to smuggle out to the other clans. I don't know if that would be a feasible Alliance for the Unicorn if we would appear to support Kanpeki while underm...

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
There's a danger to it, yes. But we're really the best chance of those who will inevitably end up left behind enemy lines. Maybe it's good that people expect us to do very little worthwhile work, just artsy-fartsy stuff that keeps the courts happy, right? Subtle obstruction of Kanpeki's government, ...

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
If we can't conceal things from others we really suck as scheming courtiers. I think for once we should be able to demonstrate that with things like Cadence and our network of favors, we're more than a match for anybody's spies. Edit: We're basically everybody's relative sitting there in enemy terri...
