Quick, odd question: for Crane Courtier Technique (Favors), are there any "gotchas" for those "delivering" a higher level favor than they have access to on the table, typically those they provide personally?

I'm thinking specifically of Kenshin teaching Iaijutsu. I'm reasonably sure that's not a level 1 favor ...

Not that I can think of

Is the Sparrow functionary in the IC thread speaking just about the Sparrow Clan's Iaijutsu competition or is this an official for the entire Tournament (and thus is inquiring about all the contests the various samurai have signed up for)?

She's inquiring about all the competitions you've signed up for

Okay, so just to make certain I have everyone and all their events:

Badger Clan, sumai - Isawa Shima, Otomo Hajime, Bayushi Kenshin, Kedo, Kitsune Shoji
Centipede Clan, theology - Isawa Shima, Bayushi Kenshin, Kedo, Shiba Ikaji, Asahina Byako, Kitsune Shoji

I believe Shoji signed up for all (except Fox, of course). The plan being that he'd delegate Daichi on an event by event basis.

fixed!

In reply to Kaze no Kage (msg # 909):

Looks good as far as Hajime's events are concerned.  ;)

Looks right for the Phoenix, except for the spelling of Shema's name (he wouldn't complain, but Ikaji might).

Sorry all for my inactivity of late - we've been spending time packing and visiting friends as we're moving 600 miles away next week.  Hopefully I'll be posting IC regularly in 10ish days.

bwahahahaha, I was struggling to work out a central conflict for this new chapter (besides the tournament) but I think I found it...look out spoiler

Hmm.  Since I'm the last one to post, I'm concerned and afraid I might have inspired it.  Disconcerting.

So, 10 days did not cover it, apologies to all.  I should be back to regular posting again now.

No worries, stuff happens.  I sometimes end up being sporadic in my posting too, so don't feel guilty!

Hey all, I'm sad to have to say this but it's become clear to me that I will not have time for much/any gaming through seminary.  30+hours of week each for my employment work and my school work leaves me without enough time to properly show my love to my wife and children, let alone having any left to enjoy myself with you all.  I hope that when I graduate (or when some to-now unknown relative leaves me a fortune in their will so I can stop working while I do school?) I'll be able to come back and join you all again.  Until then, I hope that you all have a fantastic game.

Family first.

Good luck in seminary!

 Shame to see you go old bean.

 [Insert generic witty internet comment about <appropriate religious sect> here]

 Good luck with the Seminary!

Good luck with Seminary!

Kedo - Some kind of Disney reference coming back to "frozen chosen" would work, or coming from the other side, a question along the lines of "Does PCA really stand for Pipes Cigars and Alcohol?" would do :)

 Wow, you're going to Pittsburgh Classical Academy? I could throw a rock at that place from here! ^_^

Nah, I just moved out of that area, though.  From Grove City to Greenville, SC.

That moment you look at your character sheet and go "what was I saving all this XP for again?". *lol*

@Shema: Sorry to see you go, but it's understandable. Real Life(TM) comes first.

Wait .... confused now. Is Lessons still on?

Lessons is Kitsune Shoji, Asahina Byako, and Kedo (plus NPCs)

Training is Otomo Hajime, Asahina Byako, and Bayushi Kenshin

Both are still on.

See, I told you I was confused. *lol*

Who is Kenshin training first?

In reply to Bayushi Kenshin (msg # 928):

Technically I believe Kenshin only arranged to teach Shoji, but Hajime does not want to pass up the opportunity to at least observe Kenshin's lessons to Shoji (and observe Kenshin's form/style).
