Does anyone else find the gift giving ritual extremely nerve-wracking?

Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.

You're not alone Soyokaze. That's why I included Option A of Handwaving it. Some people do not enjoy being put on the spot like that, and are unhappy if it's required.

Option B of going forth with it is for people who do enjoy doing it. If you enjoy the game, it's a fun way to showcase your character before the court, and it's not fair to handwave it away if you like doing it.

Option C is for Seppun Unsei, but she faked me out and took B ;)

But your presentation is lovely Soyokaze. Just two more offers an the ordeal is over :)

i was really tempted to take option A for the sake of my anxiety but in the end decided to go ahead and do it as a chance for growth for both myself and my character.

Amusing story, I was once many many years ago the governor of Kaeru Toshi in an L5R LARP and I handwaved the entire gift-giving in a game with 20+ players. I accepted everyone's gifts on the first offer. I didn't think any of the other players, who were all seemingly new to L5R, would even know about the rules of gift giving and no one said anything to my character but I later found out that I had pissed off the entire court, they were all expecting the refusals. OOPS.

I am amused that no one took the real gift and instead faked one ...
Or did they ?

I had too much fun saddling my guy with a heavy chunk of bronze he'd carried all the way here...
