Same with the Scorpion.Yogo Otoko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 5:01 amI don't really have a horse in this race, but I think the Phoenix asking the Lion for koku could be... 'interesting' enough.
Should they ask so much from the Crane, though?Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:53 amPhoenix asks for help from Crane and can possibly get 3 things done at once. 3 birds 1 stone or something like that
Mostly cause I'm against the Scorpion and if Phoenix allies with Scorpion then they dont get hatching site, asahina texts, and the koku so
2 of them require no koku and the crane pretty much are already helping with the texts i believe and phoenix is in the lead for crane sponsorship so why not vote crane here too. it's too late to change things now so better to ally with crane and help against the scorpion schemes rather than be backstab crane and help someone who probably doesn't care about the shugenja as muchKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:09 amShould they ask so much from the Crane, though?Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:53 amPhoenix asks for help from Crane and can possibly get 3 things done at once. 3 birds 1 stone or something like that

The Phoenix would get a deep, deep debt with the Crane than.Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:46 am2 of them require no koku and the crane pretty much are already helping with the texts i believe and phoenix is in the lead for crane sponsorship so why not vote crane here too. it's too late to change things now so better to ally with crane and help against the scorpion schemes rather than be backstab crane and help someone who probably doesn't care about the shugenja as muchKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:09 amShould they ask so much from the Crane, though?Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:53 amPhoenix asks for help from Crane and can possibly get 3 things done at once. 3 birds 1 stone or something like that

you are right that it's asking a lot tho, and i think it would depend on what they have to offer. the dragon have monks and stuff, im sure the phoenix could spare some shugenja or help in other ways.
dont the phoenix prefer to be pacifists tho or somethingKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:49 amThe Phoenix would get a deep, deep debt with the Crane than.Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:46 am2 of them require no koku and the crane pretty much are already helping with the texts i believe and phoenix is in the lead for crane sponsorship so why not vote crane here too. it's too late to change things now so better to ally with crane and help against the scorpion schemes rather than be backstab crane and help someone who probably doesn't care about the shugenja as much

This is interesting. I still think that Lion is more interesting because they may press them for war.
Yes. That's exactly why it would be interesting.Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:58 amdont the phoenix prefer to be pacifists tho or somethingKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:49 amThe Phoenix would get a deep, deep debt with the Crane than.Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:46 am

also im pretty sure the lion clan has like no koku to spare and i dont see anything favorable coming from this
especially since the crane clan r sponsoring phoenix mainly so they'd be pressed to not ally with crane enemies
eh it just sounds painful for the phoenix to meKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 12:10 pmYes. That's exactly why it would be interesting.Kakita Kazuko wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:58 amdont the phoenix prefer to be pacifists tho or somethingKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:49 am

The Lion Clan isn't in need for koku badly like other clans. It just wants some money to invade the Crane. The help from the bests shugenjas of the empire is interesting, and this would create one thing: drama.
It is not an alliance, it is asking for money whilst not making themselves overly reliant on the Crane.
I'm between Scorpion and Lion here. Never Crane.
eh crane is already supporting and i really want to see the egg hatch so im gonna keep riding the crane-phoenix alliance trainKaiu Aiichiro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 12:24 pmThe Scorpion isn't overly against anyone. They act in the shadows.
I really want to see the Phoenix screwed up here. I think that Crane getting mad at them shuts doors though, which leads to better drama than blackmail.
