(IRR) The Rokugan IR Turn 0 (OOC Thread)

[Knight Otu]

My finalized claims and changes:

+Change - Isawa Akahita to Shu 7/Void Disciple 13, PL3.
(Note that this is not an epic advancement, but standard advancement for a Void Disciple.)

-Drop Elemental Legions (PL4 : IR 5)

for

+Tsunami Legion, PL 4 : IR 1
+Firestorm Legion, PL 4 : IR 1
+Hurricane Initiates, PL 4 : IR 1
+Avalanche Guard, PL 4 : IR 1

Increase the PL of

+Kyuden Isawa (Palace) to PL 8 : IR 4
+Shiro Shiba (Castle) to PL 8 : IR 5

Custom claim:
+The Keepers, PL 3 : IR 1 (a group of Bushi better capable at resisting the taint of the Shadowlands than normal Rokugani).

 

[Lichtenhart]

Last claims:
* Daikoku Seido (Shrine) PL 6 : IR 2
* Hanmida Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Shiden Osano-Wo (Shrine) PL 6 : IR 2

[Knight Otu]

I've prepared my template so far, and unless creamsteak objects my final claims, it should be sent soon enough.

 

[Lichtenhart]

uh, sorry I picked up the wrong lake. Please substitue
* Mizu-Umi Kiku Hanabira (Chrysanthemum Petal Lake) PL 3 : IR 0
with
* Mizu umi Ryo (Dragon Lake) PL 3 : IR 0

OOC rules for Emerald test. These are only for flavor's sake. Dunno how Creamsteak would like to run it.

- Max two candidates per clan. The others are usually ronin. Which may mean they could be gaijin too.
- No artifacts allowed.
- No Clan Champions allowed unless they retire.
- No magic is allowed, only healing (which shouldn't be needed, cause it's dishonorable to harm the opponent) and only by the organizing clan. I may bestow this honor to another clan, though. Apply IC.

Tell me if you want the Unicorn to run the Jade Test too.

Oh, and BlackOmega feel free to correct me as always.

 

[Serpenteye]

Lichtenhart, you seem to know a lot about these things. Could you tell me what are the responsibilities of an Emerald and jade Champion?

And the tests, what are they composed of? Wrestling? Staring matches? Quisses? Monopoly? Or what?

 

[Knight Otu]

A description of the Test of the Emerald Champion can be found here:

Here are descriptions of the Test of the Jade Champion:

http://l5r.alderac.com/fiction/jadechampion_02.html

I have no objections against you hosting the Test of the Jade Champion, too.

I don't think gaijin should be allowed, but that's just me.
Family daimyo are allowed, I assume? (Shiba Tsukune may no longer be the Clan Champion but she is still the family daimyo, for example)

Serpenteye - Unless I'm totally misremembering, giving a katana as a gift implies that the intended receiver is not capable of defending himself properly (or something along this line). Maybe someone with a better grasp on this part can correct or confirm this?

 

[Janos Audron]

to quote forsaken one:

"If a person gives you a katana (or another weapon) it is a sign that the reciever cannot properly defend himself, and thus should be given a weapon to make it a fair fight."

Correct, everyone should study Rokugan ethics and etiquette

Whew, good that my memory hasn't failed me entirely.
