I'm full of questions today. One more regarding opportunities: Several options of opportunities are about helping other people at the same scene (offering assistance, reducing TN, reducing strife etc.). I suppose those are disabled during events to avoid the whole thing becoming completely unmanageable?

From https://craneclan.weebly.com/trade-earth.html
(Opp) (Opp) Suddenly recall an important piece of information not directly related to the task. At the GM’s discretion, you may establish a small preparatory action you took earlier, such as bringing along a common useful item.
Since I have ample Earth opportunities to spare, how do options like this one work? Pure fluff?
Pretty much. I mean, you can ask the gm to come up with the info...buuuuut that may take awhile. It's fine as long as you don't try to bring major info into the world this way. "Why I've suddenly just remembered I've been having an affair with Renji!" is not gonna fly XD

1) A proud lineage of focus: Choose 1 skill. Roll Earth/Chosen Skill 4 times. TN 1, 2, 3, 4. This is to show your family's mastery of a particular skill, be it great swordsman or adept artist.
Does Kuge Lineage apply here?

Edit: second question - if I failed any of the above rolls, could Anxiety proc here? ' You are constantly worried about failing those to whom you have a commitment, such as family, friends, allies, a mentor, or a master'
Yes to both

Can you do a thread to willingly trigger an Anxiety to restore some Void? In the same way you can do a Passion thread, and with the same restrictions (cannot do event/agenda/passion in same thread).
Sure, although I would definitely want to see that roleplayed out, not gained off-screen.

In the Day 2 miai event, if we choose option 1 do we need to roll in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4 or can it be in any order?

Alternately, if using the Well of Desire shuji, can we choose which roll to use it on? I believe it can only be used once.
Hmmmm, sure any order is fine.

Well of Desire is specifically on the next social roll, so I assume you present the gift, and then ptu whichever one you wanted to first.

So I'd get my distinction for all 4 rolls?

Status: average| Honour: Ideal | Glory: No Renown
Courtship points: ?
Equipment: Fan, pretty clothes, makeup/perfume, pillowbooks (sometimes), Tea set (sometimes), Flute (sometimes), odd looking stringed instrument (sometimes)

Is this rule still valid? I just remembered it, and I don't think I've seen ever mentioned outside of this post (like, there is no "Big Board of Stakes" for example).
Sure is.

I didn't make a big board of stakes, because glory/honor stakes should be in your pf, to be resolved privately.

If we're still waiting for event threads to resolve after day-flip, how do we proceed?
I already gave you your courtship point, just have to fluff finish the exchange.

Yup. Ask Mel Brooks, "It's good to be the Kuge"
