Poor, poor Toshigure.

That was a dark time for the Lion Clan.

I remember Akodo Toshigure in Winter Court III.

Poor guy was (according to the Second City boxed set) meant to be a feared duelist.

Lost every single iai duel he got into the whole damn game.

(Also, shout out to 5th edition finding a way to make dueling even worse, somehow)

The fact that only about two bushi schools directly reference dueling (Kakita and Mirumoto) while a third (Shiba) actually encourages a high Void and lets you situationally cheat at any one roll left everybody else out in the cold without brutal XP expenditures.

The problem is, it's meant to be something literally any bushi can do, but somehow it uses a different skill entirely than, say, using your damn sword in any other circumstance.
Different skill and Different stats. You could easily go. Assessment - Perception. Focus - Willpower. Strike - Agility. And keep the iai skill and it would simply be better, and strengthen the usefulness of both water and earth rings.

Seeing as I seem to have access again. Allow me to advise you that you mistake peoples complaints for heated aggression, while they are in truth sourced from exhaustion. People are simply tired.

Some complaints can be construed as aggression because they certainly can be aggressive.

Let's slack a bit on the GM team. They did great, the ask was immense.

Let's do some introspection about our own behavior

Hush. Nobody is attacking any GM far as I'm aware. Learn what you're talking about before you weigh in.

Hmm... How to state that.

If even I, with my Failure of Diplomacy, find that to be nothing but extra fuel to the fire, it likely is. At the very least, stated like that.

I don't have to see the complains to see how they affect the GMs

Something is wrong here.

I don't know if I need to remind you, that I have been and continue to be the most vocally supportive of Canary's health. That has not changed, and will not change. It truly is one of the few things I care about here.

I have seen time and time again people twist things to be aggressive, and inflammatory, when they simply aren't. Bad behavior should be called out. Needs to be called out. I'm so tired of letting it slide to maintain peace.

Please, recognize that as true and reflect on my words.

I'm sorry I don't meet your standards enough for you to opt not to belittle me.

What is this bad behavior you speak of?

I also am concerned for Boss Bird's health both physical and mental. Many of us are.

I was not specific, did not target anyone here.

Like I said in the other thread: Harm is not a always a question of intent but always a question of impact

Guys, please. I am okay.

I know everyone is concerned and has their own ways of expressing it. Everyone's feelings are valid here. So let's all take a breath.

I know my reactions to things this game have been troubling for some. I'll be doing my best to keep it together going forward.

"You're welcome." -Kakita to Hadananzi for almost one-shotting him and putting him on the right path... with violence.
