Added:



For pbp balance, the rules about pursuing your ninjo to reset your strife:

Since you are all here to get married, not attending the daily courtship event to instead pursue your ninjo will set your strife to 0.

Location rule: If you spend a time slot in the geisha house, you may reduce your strife by 2. This can be combined with 3 for pursing your passion if that is applicable (The geisha house is a great place for tea, sake, music and more.....not a great place to practice archery and so on)

Staking honor on events:

Honor bet on passing all the rolls in an event is now bet during the first roll of the event. The bet must be put into the roll description to be valid.

New opportunity spends for reducing strife:

Water/Medicine TN 2: : Reduce the strife of another person through a variety of medical means (herbs, massage, acupuncture, therapy, moxibustion, etc.) This reduces their strife by 2. They may only benefit from one such attempt per day (even if the attempt is unsuccessful, they may not try again on the same day.)

Void/Meditation: TN 2 : Reduce your strife by 2. You may only do this once per timeslot, and not in a thread where you are in an event, pushing an agenda, pursing a passion (with the exception of the enlightenment passion), or sleeping.

Errata: Sparrow starting status is now 25

Mercy Rule:

In any event that involves momentum, you can invoke the mercy rule if you feel you can't reach the momentum target (or just don't want to keep trying). It costs 1 honor and 1 glory and you are automatically placed in C tier.
