Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to say my schedule has not allowed me to read up on the game yet but I hope to do so soonly.

Welcome! Oh, and how many players do we have at this point? Is it just us three?

four:  Daidoji Sakura, Bayushi Kenji, Doji Noriko, and I just added Ichigo, formerly of the Crane Clan
I think Kakita Ukyo and Daidoji Yoshiko are still around though experiencing technical difficulties.

Well, I wouldn't call my problems "technical difficulties."  Still dealing with family fallout.  I hope to be on here more.  :)

ouch, my apologies, I hope everything works out for you

there's a squad of Lion in the distance...
you see them before they see you...
what are you going to do?

Sorry... still trying to catch up.

Waiting on a "real Crane" to respond before I respond for Sakura ...

Am I retconned into the group or will they be meeting me a bit later?

everyone is retconned into the group--in a different situation it would be easier to introduce new players, but at the moment it's just easier if everyone's already part of the group

Please don't wait for me, I'm still trying to find enough time to read back. It's been a hectic few weeks for me.

Sorry for the delay, I was trying to figure out how to respond to that. Sakura is more of a subtle Shugenja, with very little "war" in her repertoire ...

No worries ^_^ when you get to Toshi Ranbo there will definitely be uses for non-bushi/War Shugenja skills and spells ^_^

let's welcome the ronin Kedo who has come to take the place of Daidoji Yoshiko as Daidoji Sakura's yojimbo ^_^

The Department of the Online Relations in the life of Dustin regrets to inform you that we will be unavailable for an indefintie period of time.  We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience of having to find a new game to occupy your time in our absence, but unforeseen occurences have forced us into using infrequet internet connections.

Condolences.





Translation: I've lost my usual internt connection for an indefinite time period.  If someone would like to take over, I would be willing to pass the reins.  Otherwise, I hope my internet comes back to me sooner than it takes for me to lose all of you.  It has been fun.

 Thankyou kindly gentlefolks. And don't go Bayushi, without you around, who's going to kick the bad guys asses for us?! ^_^

Luckily my internet connection has been restored.  I am here to defend the honor of my family.

sorry, guess I should've explained my rationale for the roll ^_^;;;
I know stealth usually uses agility, but since there's not actually anyone for you to hide from, and that would require a perception check, I decided to combine the two rolls to reduce the rolling ^_^;;;

 Should I be threatening to beat people with sticks, or is there a reason no-one's posting? ^_^

I like sticks personally ^_^
I was waiting for Daidoji Sakura, but your threats have proven quite effective--are you sure you're not a Scorpion ^_^

 Who, me?

 No-sir, just a lowly Ronin thinking it might be worthwhile trawling for some new or replacement players. ^_^

Me?

I'm still around.  I am just on here infrequently.  (trying to get on here more often... it was easier when I had access at work, but now it's blocked)

Oooh, that sucks.  Don't ya hate it when work does stuff like that?
