Legend of the Five Rings: In Service to the Emerald Throne

Why would you ever want to act against your best friend and most loyal supporter? Truly, what is the world coming to...

Anyway, that's my opening move, I think. Rokugani etiquette demands all kinds of indirect communication and allegory when conducting inter-Clan diplomacy, but we can hopefully just assume that our IC letters are appropriately flowery.

I am totally going to diss someone with a hiaku at some point during this game, mind. It's basically a requirement.

I believe the Tortoise are meant to be particularly good at Haiku dissing.
 
Hey don't cut into the market niche of that game I haven't finished writing up yet! :p
 
I will not understand anything said to me in the form of haiku only simple instructions will work. I will thank you for your poetry or theological comments. because that is what culture is all about

If you are ever very confused by something that is clearly diplomacy/requirement that I don't make plain just PM me and I will explain unless it is MEANT to be covert.
 
the proper Badger
enjoys glorious Sumai
not weak court haiku

feelings are useless
better to earn place in life
than stare at flowers

*Badger intensifies*
 
Your words and your Haiku speak well of your support for my thoughts. I will ensure that the next step is taken to assure our plans come to fruition.

Hantei XXXVIII

----------


At the most major centre of each Clan's territories a simple carriage arrives, escorted by four members of the Imperial Guard. Upon it's side can be seen the seal of the Emperor. When approached a sealed scroll will be presented and upon it the Emperor's own hand.

For Father and Son,
A Blossom Must Be Chosen,
One Flower Per Clan.
The carriage and guards would then await the reply from each Clan's Champion.

*squints suspiciously at the Emperor for a moment*

...sure why not. I can work with this.

I am not confused by what your asking with flowery language. It is just that Shinjo Yokatsu is supposed to be bad at court and intrigue and the easiest way of showing it is not understanding what the flowery language means.
