Biggest surprise the game threw you?

Biggest "damn, I wish I'd done that differently" moment?

Favorite scene?

Dear Haha-sama and Honorable Shika Pei-Pei-sama.

I am thankful for all the opportunities you've given me. I took the freedom to forego the pointing system for my final decision. I had hopes that, by signalizing points to each one of the names would make the analysis much more consistent and fair. The fact is, marriage isn't consistent, or fair. It is about respect and temperance. Love, too, if one manages to balance the first two. So, I would like to provide my final list in hopes they are valid for the insights you have for the future of my service to the Empire, and that of my future spouse.

1 <--- Usogawa Emiko (OOC: Favoring PCs)
2 <--- Kaikoga Koi (OOC: Favoring PCs)
3 <--- [NAME ERASED WITH INK]
4 <--- Bayushi Minae
5 <--- Utaku Kheree
6 <--- Moshi Shizuka
7 <--- Moto Mitsuki
8 <--- Kaito Oubaihime


In respect to station and, specially, to the short moments we shared, I would be so bold as to add a name which I owe a special place:

0 <--- Kakita Reina, the Topaz Champion

I would be blessed if any of these maidens are indeed what the Shika considers as a match to me.

Honorably yours,
Seppun Yuzu
Governor of Chisei

*wonders if we can recover and be friends again*

Murato has been totally upset over the duel ever since he learned of it and the reason for it. He's super unhappy with his cousin for issuing a challenge over something that should have been a stern talking to.

I am unsure if the CODE will allow Yuzu to revise what he said to Murato without a great deal of pain, or an apology.

There was a stern talk, actually. So, if some still think the duel was over Oubaihime, I would like to point out, once more, it wasn't the main issue. There's a small part of it, since Yuzu respects Bai. Yet, for the most part, was Yuzu being angry and frustrated with the lack of propriety –– from many –– while courting going on around Kyuden Shika, and the fact that he was losing Glory in the initial trials.

As much as players might dislike the character, or disagree and put in the miai setting into perspective as an argument for wavering much of the strictness of bushido and romancing in Rokugan, I reinforce: it is not the player being mean, it was just a player roleplaying a stuck up bushido follower with delusions of grandeur with the intention to add drama and fun.

To him it felt like walking into someone else's hose and slapping their guest for breaking the hosts stuff. Not his place and just as disrespectful to the host as the supposed offending behavior.
