In spite of rumors saying the Glorious Empress Toturi II had little or no interest in marrying so soon, having expressed her opinion more than once in the Imperial Court, bearing future Emperors is part of the Imperial Duty. Being so, and after heavy pressure of her family, The Imperial Matchmaker is now ready to receive suitable proposals regarding a husband for the Empress. The next Winter Court may be the ideal moment for the announcement of the Empress' Betrothed name.
Hello everyone! How the Imperial consort will be chosen: First Step:
A Display of Commitment
In the first step of this contest 3 suitors from different clans will be chosen, depending on the influence of their clans. From those 3, 1 will be chosen in a posterior step, depending on the lobbies the clan will make. The 3 clans with more power in the ruling year of Empress Toturi II will have the opportunity to nominee their candidate to the vacancy position as Imperial Consort, and prospective father of the next Emperor or Empress. The clans will, storywise, give the resources as gifts to help funding the Empress' Blessing. Minimum requisites a clan must fulfill to be granted eligibility for the next step: - 300 rices
- 100 fishes
- 50 irons
- 100 lumbers
- 1 Courtier Envoy
- 4 Doshin
- 2 Yoriki
- 1 Shugenja Unit
- 2 Law Enforcers Unit
- 4 Warhorses
Yes, it sounds pretty too much for a single player. However, alliances can be made to help acquire the necessary items. The items must be gifted to the Clan Champion of your choice (meaning you can gift it to a champion that's not from your own clan). Only the 3 Clan Champions with the most related resources at the deadline of this part of the contest will have the right to nominee a candidate to Imperial Consort. Deadline: September 30th. Second Step: A Display of Influence
The 3 winning clans of the first part of this contest will nominee a character as their candidate to Imperial Consort. After that, all clans must gift the Clan Champions favors, symbolizing their support to its candidate. At the final deadline, the clan with more favors in its Champion's account will be the winner clan, and its candidate, the new Empress' Consort. Deadline: October 30.
Important: In the case only 1 clan achieves the minimum requisites to be eligible for the next step, this clan will be the winner of the contest and must indicate to whom the Empress will marry; the second step (showing Influence through favors) will not be necessary. In the case no clan show interest to serve the Empire by offering a worth candidate to the Empress' spouse position, she'll remain unmarried and will not seek for a husband in the future.

Hmmm what a pity... Well, we don't have a GM pulling up all the political strings or deciding the political interests of every clan, or saying that samurai Z is going to do Y, and samurai N is going to do X. The maximum our "shrinked storyteam" can do is to suggest some things. If all clans remain apolitical, this forum will be dead in no time, as no new conflict will arise. And of course, you must spend some of your glory in something, right? I'm sure other clans may be interested in your spare glory...

Now you bastards will learn what makes an army work well." If the two of you are 2 of the best 3 candidates the Empire can offer to Tsudao... At least it would be funny to wonder imagining how your clans would explain the nomination of two violent, trouble magnets as you both)...

A warrior empress deserves a warrior consort and kaugen as consort would be hilarious

Do we have to get a PC nominated? I'd rather be the politically manipulating bastard that Izo is deep down inside without being an asshole to a PC

I won't oppose to a PC being nominated, however I think it can be a sort of "roleplay suicide", as the position as Imperial Consort is a lot restrictive... Maybe not while still not married, but the duties as Imperial Spouse will keep the character a long time into the Imperial City. Anyone willing to try is welcome, though. I mean, after being the chosen, if the player decides he doesn't wish to marry after all, he must come with a VERY good excuse for such...

Ohhhhhh Kaigen might actually be offered up by the Phoenix... "He's a war hero. And he's a TERRIBLE Phoenix, so it's not like we want him."

I think it will be impossible to get everything before the deadline. I've done a calculation using the numbers in the gift shop and if I've not miscalculated, the total glory of the package is 23950, which is more than the total glory currently available. Even the 500 rice at 15 glory a piece is 7500, which is more than what most people have. So I think we'll have to rethink this thing, or at least adapt the package.

I think you are right Kasumi. Not everyone has hidden resources in the bank account (as I do). <--- hint for to whom seek alliances withThe idea was that the cost will be achieved partially by alliances, your weekly wages, and partially by selling the resources every clan receive per player (http://rokuganee2.proboards.com/thread/192/new-features). Also there are glory-worthy activities planned for the next days. The numbers are still high, but not unrealistic for a deadline in about 45 days. I of course expect to have it working and that the players have some interest in work hard to post a bit more, form alliances and engage in the activities that can get them more glory. It is a lot complicated to keep it going without you guys creating new plots, guys. I, as everyone else here, have professional and personal things to do besides this forum. I try do my best to keep things going, and interesting enough to have you login every day, but really, feedback is always appreciated on how to make things better. However, even good and constructive criticism (as yours, Kasumi) won't beat you guys keep posting and creating new stories.

I wasn't even aware there was a bank. But as I'm the Mantis around here (there was one other player with a Moshi I think, but I haven't seen him in a while), I know that I will need alliances to get this done (either to have a mantis there, or to support another clan in exchange for favours). I'm sure we can come to some sort of 'understanding'.
