Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
Here's my alternate path suggestion: The Path of Compassion The Crane have always valued compassion as an important element of honor. The Asahina temples have been a shelter for those who sought to change their path for centuries, and the Crane have been voices for peace and mercy since the days of...

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
I do not claim to know, at the moment, what the Dragon playerbase overall is going to want. But I will note that Dragon's sentiment for things along the lines of a dedicated Defend the Emperor/Throne/Empire sort of Path are heavily focused on the Iweko specifically, given that the Iweko Dynasty is ...

Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths
I can also see us burning through favours and balances owed like water, regardless of the path we choose and especially so if we choose a path that sets us to attempting protection and preservation. But if we can achieve that protection and preservation, in any capacity, I would deem that burning wo...

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
Dragon territory is wonderfully safe from everything except starvation. Also, hordes of Jigoku-powered pyromaniac Yobanjin. Still, I would like to hear what the Dragon would be willing to bring to the table -- let us not cut off our nose to spite our face, especially as the last time I looked, the ...

Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths
No, I don't think so. Nor do I think I need to humour someone being unpleasant. You wish sacrifice? There are means of sacrifice that do not involve throwing oneself at the enemy directly. Sacrificing oneself to risk carrying on protecting what makes the Empire the Empire, for one. But this will be ...

Re: Twenty Festivals part III - Letting Them Have Your Way
The Maniacal Slaughter resolution does explain things in regards to Takara, I feel.
I do wish to note with some wry amusement that it feels a little like gifting with one hand, taking with the other, mind you, to finally have a Kenshinzen again -- but she happens to be somewhat unhinged by her sword.

Re: Another Way - Proposals for Alternate Story Paths
On drawbacks (feel free to add any other thoughts to these): For my first proposal, first and foremost is perhaps the drain on Clan resources in the effort to support both our own efforts and those of the Unicorn. There is also guilt-by-association from the other Clans in prioritizing, among other t...

Re: Twenty Festivals part III - Letting Them Have Your Way
I am entirely fine with the notion that positions matter less than the great web of alliances, allies and favours; this likely surprises no one subjected to my posts *g* I am much less fine with being lectured to. Worse yet, lectured to instead of seeing these things in action as incontrovertible fa...
